Philips Ambilight 55PUS8109 4K LED Smart TV - 55 Inch Display with Pixel Precise Ultra HD, Titan OS Platform and Dolby Atmos Sound, Works with Alexa and Google Voice Assistant - Satin Chrome

Our first "real" amilight tv has not let us down. This replaced an old tv with one of those stick on kits to provide the rear light show. This far exceeds the previous effects and is super simple to use, just turn the tv on. The intensity of the lights can be adjusted, although we have found the default settings very suitable, making watching the tv "easier" on the eyes. The TV picture quality is great and very usable for day to day tv watching and the ocassional 4k Bluray film, all displayed with amicable ease. The sound seems ok, however we use an external AV Amplifier so cant really comment about the full sound capabilities. A good bit of kit, although it would be fantastic if the ambilight feature was across the bottom of the tv, especially in our wall mount situation.

Ordered the 65 inch version for myself a year before and was really pleased with the tv so ordered the 55 inch for myself aunt and uncle. After 3 months it had broke contacted Amazon and they arranged a tv repair man to come out and have a look. Apparently the main board had broke so he ordered a new one, which took around a month to come in and then a further 2 weeks for him to come out and fit it. Once he left then realised the new board that was fitted was for a different region/country so couldn’t get free view channels. Now waiting for another main board to be delivered and fitted, have also noticed that some of the leds on the back of the tv are now also not working. Would not recommend to anyone

This TV has genuinely exceeded my expectations—it's a fantastic piece of tech. One of the standout features for me is the Ambilight technology. It adds an incredible immersive touch, especially in my RGB-themed gaming room, syncing beautifully with the overall aesthetic and creating a more engaging atmosphere while gaming or watching content. Even when used as a PC monitor, this TV performs exceptionally well. Despite running at 4K 60Hz, the image quality is crisp, the colors are vibrant, and the overall experience is smooth and satisfying. For general use and gaming, it's more than adequate. As for the built-in apps, I haven’t paid much attention to them since I primarily use external devices or a PC, but I assume they function well enough for most users. Since I haven’t encountered any issues or faults so far, I’m completely satisfied with this purchase. Overall, this TV is an excellent addition to any gaming or entertainment setup. Highly recommended. 👍

I have had this tv for about 5 months now and it has matched my expectations and I think is very good value if it fits your circumstances as it does mine. The picture quality is decent but seems a little jumpy for fast paced sports but I do watch a fair amount of sport and it’s not noticeable enough to be annoying in my opinion. This tv lacks smart tv capabilities and the chip in this tv is probably not very good compared to more expensive ones so can be a bit slow and glitchy if you ran YouTube app from the native software on the tv for instance. which is why it is cheap but if you use a gaming console as the brains of the operation to run your entertainment system this will not be an issue at all. The ambi lights are gimmicky but that being said even after the novelty wore off I still turn it on for certain scenarios and it’s a cool feature to have.

Got this at half price on Prime day. Picture is good on HD channels and HD streaming services, but standard definition channels look pretty bad. Sound is good enough. IMPORTANT! Note that Philips sold 70% of their TV division in 2011 to Chinese company TVP and the remaining 30% in 2014. Philips-branded TVs now have nothing to do with Philips. TVP are the world's largest lcd panel manufacturer for computer monitors and tv's. They are not a traditional TV manufacturer like Sony or Philips. You are buying a generic Chinese designed and manufactured unit with a Philips badge. This explains why the display is the only thing good about this unit. It is worth keeping this in mind when reading the following as it explains the many downsides. The TV Guide and other controls are UNUSABLY SLOW, with the TV Guide in particular taking several seconds to move to the next page. The problem is exacerbated by the TV buffering the key presses, so after frustratingly clicking more than once when scrolling up or down, the guide will then skip several pages once it wakes up. How Phillips can think this is acceptable for a consumer products is beyond me. Also, the current channel is muted when you open the guide, which is really annoying when you're listening to one channel and just want to check the schedule. Ambilight wasn't a factor in buying, but at the default setting it is like watching TV in a disco. Fortunately, it is (sort of) easily turned off via a dedicated button on the remote. I say "sort of" because it is not a one-click on/off, but brings up the ambilight menu. It can be customised by digging deep into the system settings and the brightness and colour saturation can be changed for a more subtle effect, which is more suitable, but I'm still not convinced it adds anything to the viewing experience and is more of a gimmick. In fact, if light-bleed from the picture onto the wall behind was a thing, I'm sure manufacturers would be boasting various innovations that prevented it. [Update] In a dark room, and with the brightness and colour saturation turned down a bit, the ambilight does have the effect of spilling some light around the room, and can be ok. I still wouldn't go as far as to say it is essential, but not quite as useless as I originally stated. [Update] I forgot to add the remote control isn't great either, it's completely symmetrical, really long and skinny with tiny low profile buttons and GREY text on black background. Being so long, it feels uncomfortable and unbalanced in my (large) hands, with sharp corners. All this makes it really difficult to navigate the buttons by touch when watching in a darkened room. Because of the symmetric shape, you have to consciously figure out if you're even holding it the right way round every time you pick it up. This might all sound minor, but trust me, it gets irritating really quickly. They should redesign it with some usability testing included. As for ports, read the specs and make sure it meets your needs, as there aren't a whole lot. Currently having an issue getting it to recognise the Fire Stick plugged into HDMI3 (the other two HDMI ports are recessed, so you can't fit the fire stick in those without an extension cable). Overall, at the bargain price, it's ok, but seriously let down by the terrible "Titan" OS. I know broadcast TV is a dying medium, but (as well as the slowness), you get the feeling you're using some unfinished open source "Entertainment Centre" software where TV is just another option. I would be sending it back if I'd paid more. I'll see if I can live with the unusable TV Guide. If not, I'll sell it on. [Another update 2 months in...] The homepage on this tv now refuses to show anything 50% of the time - just a black screen. The problem with this is that it is the only way to get to the settings, including software updates. Essential functions such as programme info are buried in menus via the awful remote control. The muting whenever you open the tv guide, no page up/down on the tv guide, long startup times, and taking an absolute age for it to download the programme guide, doesn't work with a Firestick on any HDMI port even via an HDMI repeater that works flawlessly with everything else, etc. etc. In short, unless you're desperate just to get a big screen, avoid at all costs.

I bought the model 65PUS8109/12. My first week with this TV has been amazing. The ambient lights make a huge difference, it’s unbelievable nice watching movies with this feature on. The OS is faster than my previous TV Samsung 2021, doesn’t crash or get stuck, so having read reviews complaining about the new Philips OS performance, I wouldn’t agree with them, however as people's expectations aren’t all the same, I can understand their point of view, as it’s not very very fast, but still far better than my previous Samsung 2021 TV. The images quality is very good compared to how much I spent (£599 of offer). The sound is great and intense. I just found a little scratch on the front, which was coming from the factory, as there was the film protection on top, but it didn’t bother me too much. One thing a noticed on the Amazon advert is that the controller doesn’t have the Disney+ button, as one of the images shows, so check the Philips website to see the actual controller this TV has. I can’t say anything about longevity of this TV, I’ll update my review if anything of relevance comes out.

Was so happy to upgrade to this and wasn’t disappointed, the tv looks lovely, the lights are great and then you try and use it. Honestly the os is completely unusable and so slow. It is impossible to find apps quickly and just beyond sluggish. I was upgrading from a 6/7 year old Samsung and even that is so much faster than this, honestly so disappointed with this. Going to buy a streaming stick to make the best of a bad situation.

Top tier TV for the price. I noticed most negative reviews were in relation to the TV’s software. I plug in an Apple TV 4K which works excellently and negates the need to use the TV’s built in software at all. The screen itself is clear and high quality and the built in ambilight feature is an added bonus. Works seamlessly with anything on the TV. If you were to add Phillips hue light strips to the back of a regular tv this would be an expensive and premium addition. Would highly recommend, I did a lot of research and this tv is definitely top of its class for the price.

Super produit

Für den Preis ist der Fernseher wirklich top. Die Grundlagen: Ambilight - welches das Bild optisch nochmal vergrößert, gutes Display und der Sound geht auch in Ordnung (wobei natürlich bei TVs immer eine Soundbar oder eine Anlage empfehlenswerter ist). Einziges kleines Manko für mich - es wäre schöner wenn das Ambilight nicht nur dreiseitig wäre, sondern auch am unteren Bereich installiert ist. Ich hatte erst etwas Sorge, da einiges manchmal überdramatisiert wird (z.B. lange Startzeit beim Hochfahren, billigste Fernbedienung) - da kann ich aber beruhigen, es hält sich alles im Rahmen, ich hatte auch schon wesentlich schlimmere Fernbedienungen in der Hand. HDR hat er auch, VRR erkennt meine Konsole jedoch nicht - evtl. liegt dies an irgendwelchen Einstellungen. Softwaretechnisch sind Philips Fernseher nicht wirklich die besten, das ist mir schon im Bekanntenkreis aufgefallen, da z.B. die Software öfter mal abschmiert oder der TV freezt. Das hatte ich bisher noch nicht (wäre ja auch schlimm). Ich muss aber auch gestehen, dass ich die vorinstallierten Apps auf dem Fernseher sowieso nicht nutze und dementsprechend nicht viel in seinem Menü herumspiele. Er ist bei mir nicht mal mit dem Netzwerk verbunden, weshalb ich das gar nicht bewerten möchte und kann. Ein Manko für Leute, welche das interessiert, ist, dass durch das neue TitanOS von Philips nur bestimmte Apps freigegeben sind und einige Wichtige fehlen sollen. Da müssten Interessierte halt etwas genauer hinschauen. Wer hier aber einen relativ großen Fernseher für einen passablen Preis sucht, ist beim Philips Ambilight 65PUS8109 gut bedient. Ich finde ihn empfehlenswert.

Magnifique télé, très grand écran de très bonne qualité et immersion grâce à l'Ambilight qui fonctionne parfaitement bien !

Ciao, senza dilungare troppo. Se non volete spendere troppo per un OLED questa è la soluzione. Modello 2024 -AMBILIGHT è atomico, niente a che vedere con le strisce (anche quelle con la cam) che potete trovare dagli 80 ai 150euro. Riesce perfino ad emulare il movimento del vento e della luce. -PANNELLO di qualità,manca un pelo di luminosità ma ha dei contrasti ottimi e dei bei neri uniformi anche agli angoli (cosa non da poco se non è OLED) confrontata con una Samsung 2024 non c'è paragone. È ottimo peccato per i 120hz. -SMART TV: e qui se non siete degli smanettoni è la perfezione assoluta. Avete l'ecosistema Philips con hub integrato. Se comprate delle luci PHILIPS potete dire all app dove le avete posizionate e seguiranno l'immagine a schermo (ATOMICO). ALEXA INTEGRATO. SMART TV FACILE E VELOCE CON UNA FACILITÀ DI UTILIZZO DISARMANTE. Ogni cosa si connette automaticamente. -AUDIO: superiore alla media rispetto al prezzo. Ovvio che con una soundbar o un sistema audio cambia tutto. COSA NON MI È PIACIUTO. -BORDI un po' troppo spessi. Più sottili avrebbe accentuato ancora di più l ambilight. -120hz MANCANTI. ok che è una fascia medio bassa ma siamo nel 2024 e da Philips me lo sarei aspettato. Nota di demerito ad AMAZON che nel 2024 non è ancora riuscita a dividere le RECENSIONI per ANNO E MODELLO.

Achetée en remplacement d’une télé qui montrait des signes de fatigue, je suis très satisfait de cet achat ! La qualité de l’image est top surtout branché sur une PS5 avec un câble hdmi compatible HDR ! L’ambilight apporte un effet vraiment simpa pour les jeux, les films ou même en synchronisation avec de la musique ! Je n’ai pas d’avis sur le son de la télé car je l’ai branchée sur mon home cinéma, sinon très bon produit ! Je recommande !
