AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE. AMBILIGHT LOVELY, BUT LACKS BACKLIGHT SO ANY SCENE THAT ISN'T SHOT IN BROAD DAYLIGHT IS JUST BLACK.ALSO IT NEEDS RETUNED EVERY TIME IT'S TURNED ON. ON DEMAND DOESN'T RESPOND TO THE REMOTE. I HATE WASTING MONEY & THIS WAS A BIGGIE.

Picture was great to start off with but slowly deteriated over the 1st year, large dark patches and 1 large bright patch.Called Philips as was still within warrany period and their answer was "Its environmental dust and is not covered under warranty" , so unless you live in hermetically sealed room I suggect you avoid this TV.TV is now basically unwatchable and worthless...will never buy another Philips again.

Already owning a 65" flagship Samsung UHD TV, I can assure anyone reading that this direct lit LED Philips TV is outstanding value for the money (it's supposed to be an IPS panel, but the one I got had a narrow viewing angle and very deep blacks). No, it can't strike the minimum brightness to claim the premium HDR certification, but it still goes bright. Coupled with decent blacks, extremely vibrant colours, a nice sharp image, low input lag, and, of course, Ambilight -- which is an actual thing that turned out not to be a gimmick -- this seemed like the perfect bedroom TV.Sadly, grey uniformity was horrible (as you can see from the photos). Where you're supposed to have a solid colour, you get uneven dark patches, known as 'dirty screen effect' (DSE). To some degree, all LED TVs suffer from this - even OLED. Sometimes, in real viewing conditions, it's negligible. Other times, it's noticeable with camera pans across solid background colours, like blue or grey skies, painted walls, etc. I tried to get used to it, but it was impossible. I've personally never experienced such bad grey uniformity (the camera doesn't pick up how bad it appeared). If that wasn't enough, the right side of the panel was brighter than the left (again, down to bad uniformity).In the end, I was so impressed with this TV - and Ambilight - that I bought an alternative panel from Philips (one Amazon doesn't stock). It was a bit costlier, but has turned out to have better grey uniformity (still not perfect, but not noticeable in a real world viewing conditions). Amazon are great at allowing you to return items you're not satsified with, so I'd recommend anyone interested in this TV to give it a go. You'll be hard pushed to find better quality at this price point -- and certainly not Ambilight -- and chances are you'll end up with a better panel than I had.
