So, we bought this TV because it is 4K, right size, has the ambi-light feature, and was available at an amazing price. It arrived very well packed and it was easy to install, hardware wise. When we switched it on, well, that's a different story. It didn't want to connect to the Wi-Fi at all, despite us entering the right password. I gave up at some point and just connected it through an Ethernet cable. Then the real fun began...The picture quality is very good, if you struggle for hours to set it. I like that the blacks are proper blacks, not a faded black-grey-like colour. For that, I give it 5 stars. The 4K resolution is amazing and everything looks great!The sound quality is pretty good, although I always use external speakers as I like to have proper bass, because we listen to a lot of music using the TV.The look is very premium, not a plastic-like kind of look and it has a very modern design.Here's what really sucks about this TV....If you use Spotify (we do everyday!), then you'll have a major problem. The software doesn't allow you to install Spotify. It has another app for music, but that's not what I need. Like I said, we listen to music a lot using the TV and we do this through Spotify, so that was a huge downfall about this "smart" TV. Luckily, we still have the Amazon Fire Stick from our previous non-smart TV through which we can have Spotify on this TV, but it's annoying to have to switch though sources just for that.You cannot have BBC iPlayer on it, for some reason, anymore. We had it installed, but a couple of weeks ago, when we tried to go on it, we just couldn't find it anymore. The only way we can access it is, again, through the Fire Stick, which is pretty bad because we want to watch stuff in 4K, and the Fire Stick doesn't support that format.The TV is so lame at responding, sometimes, that it's just a pain to work with it. The software is very, very bad, and I did not expect it from a brand like Phillips. Really disappointed...Overall, I gave it a 3-star rating because the quality of the pic

Decided to go for this during a black friday sale, I have been looking at OLED TV's but never seemed to want to budget for them especially at the price they are now.
I play games and watch films so need a TV that would be suited for both.

My main things I looked for with this purchase was Screen size, 4K and colour options (HDR etc), Motion Smoothing and finally NO MOIRE! (Moire is when something like a striped shirt or chain link fence would cause the screen to look strange and kind of glitchy when fine lines or patterns are displayed)

The contrast modes and black levels on this TV are insane, they are as close to OLED as I have seen and this is no exaggeration. Obviously, its not OLED, so it won't look like an OLED. But going from this to paying for an OLED makes little sense to me simply because the black levels are sooo good on this screen.
It has a contrast processing mode that you can play about with to get it even darker and more vibrant and not a simple setting such as "high contrast on/off" it has many different levels, and different single adjustments to make. You hardly notice the backlight on the TV when end credits are playing or say for example the NETFLIX logo is shown the screen is as dark as it could possibly be and the netflix logo is very vibrant. It is a superb picture.

It is a seriously good upgrade from my Samsung HDTV, that one had poor speakers that distorted with certain pitch sounds, it had a smart tv option but you needed to buy a dongle! So after having that for about 5 years this TV is far superior.

The size of the screen is up to you, if you can fit it in then go as big as you can because the Ambilight will fill the room!

The ambilight was one feature I always liked the sound of but it sounded like a gimmick to be honest, you could just put an LED strip behind your TV if you wanted it to stand out.
When I started up the TV you get to set it up, connect to wifi and begin with the Ambilight settings..

This is where the WOW factor start

This TV gets solid reviews online, albeit there are little, if any, in depth video reviews.

I picked it up for under 300 on warehouse deals, but would be willing to pay full price in hindsight having seen it in the flesh.

Smart System:

The remote gets a bit of stick, but honestly I think it's really well laid out and easy to navigate.

The Saphi system has a good user interface and everything you need is a click away. The big positive here, is that no matter what you are on, pressing the "Home" Button brings up the Smart apps overlaid on whatever you're watching, as opposed to coming out of the app you're on, or moving you to a completely new screen.

I'm yet to try Netflix on this set, but going from the performance of YouTube and iPlayer, I'm sure that will be carried through - there is no issue with the responsiveness of button presses or App loading times.

Audio:

I used to sell Tv's, and am well aware that nearly all Tv's nowadays need a sound bar otherwise you're listening to very tinny audio. Again, I was impressed in this department...The sound does have some depth to it that is very rare on a TV, with some separation between voice and music/sound effects, although as always a sound bar will be on most people's setup.

Video:

I was literally taken back when I loaded up some YouTube content before tweaking the picture settings on this. Most surprisingly were the black levels and contrast, which is again something pretty hard to find on a TV in 2018 without going OLED. The fact this tv is backlit, and not edge lit definitely helps -i've noticed minimal, if any, backlight bleed thus far.

To summarise....it's a cracking TV and considering the price it's a must buy.

Absolutely amazing TV for the price I paid (£379 Black Friday Deal) coupled with the Philips Ambilight feature you won’t be disappointed as long as you are prepared to tweak the picture settings!So I had to do a little research online to find the best settings for picture quality as the standard settings do not do the TV justice. I found settings not for this TV but a similar Philips TV and used this as a basis then played around further until I was satisfied. I can't share the website but it's for the Philips PUS6272 on the WhatHifi website. Also the HDR setting is hidden away until you play HDR content so bear this in mind when adjusting your picture setting, I found that HDR Vivid is the best setting for this. Once I tweaked, I was very impressed with the TV. Both for watching content and playing video games one my Xbox One.The Ambilight feature is truly amazing, booted up Planet Earth 2 on Netflix as I had the UHD membership and was blown away by how well it’s integrated into watching TV content, there is a slight lag but it’s not noticeable.As for sound I cannot comment as I used a Sound bar straight away. The remote is ok and has a dedicated Netflix button which is useful.The smart TV feature has all the usual apps you need – Netflix, Prime Video, IPlayer, All4 ITVplayer and 5onDemand. It’s simple to use but a bit sluggish but you can expect the same from the other systems such as Android TV. If the sluggishness annoys you I suggest you get a Fire stick or something similar. Also this TV has Miracast which effectively acts as a Chromecast. I tested this feature and can confirm that it works.Overall I am very impressed with this TV once I tweaked the picture settings. Feels like I have a more expensive TV. Looking forward to watching Blade Runner 2049 in 4KHDR tonight!!

 I have put off buying a 4K set for so long just because of price. I am so happy that I did or I would not have found this GEM of a TV.I have an Xbox One X to use with this TV so I did have some things that I needed from it to have and this ticks all the boxes for any current gen Xbox oneIt is everything I expected, it has everything you would expect from a modern set, nothing missing.The ui is easy and fast, the settings for setup and optimization is vast and deep so it should do exactly what you want it to do.Personally I have never seen so many options.It looks great, sounds great, and Ambilight is definatly not a gimmick once you use it, it becomes a new way of watching TV.I have never been more immersed than when using this Phillips wicked (3 sided) Ambilight product.This will not disappoint.UPDATE:Now I have had this under my control almost non stop since I have had it and have fully setup all my Smart tv things, the large amount and versatile settings I must mention are tweaked and the display is beautiful, and works great for Tv, Netflix or Gaming equally.The ambilight has a gaming function to make it more aggressive and faster, rather as the softer options for movies, TV and Music.I have found no problems with this set and can confidently say (I don't work for anyone I might mention)It is an impressive set for its money, it is very sharp and detailed as you would expect from 4k HDR and is a fantastic Movie machine on Netflix for the family.It is also a fantastic gaming TV with looking great with its HDR 4K UHD display, it is fully customiseable with advanced settings.With full functionality activated with my Xboxone X running and the Ambilight, it makes gaming very fun and exciting, I was really happy that the lights could be turned off but more importantly when turned on they are not a distraction at all, they are accurate and adds extra depth, colour and action to every game I have played so far.I thought it be helpful to mention that my close friend also bought one of these sets the day after he saw

Old Samsung broke 46" LED that cost £799 five years ago. I was concerned that I may get an inferior TV but now feel silly as it blows the old one away. I am not yet able to put on the wall as you can see in photo due to thread size in back of TV is smaller than Samsung was. All in all my best buy for a number of years. Hard to believe there is a better TV out there for less than £1000. If you haven't got HDR get it and even better with Ambilight. 55" model is ideal from four meters away. Really happy.

Other shoppers, if you are looking for an affordable TV that is worth the money, then go for this one.This is our first smart TV and we use it with wifi only ( no TV license ). Our internet connection is pretty basic and whatever we watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube is delivered in a very good quality.The Ambilight feature is a fantastic extra I wasn't expecting to be this great.The remote control and the software are highly responsive, making the TV smart a piece of cake and the thing is leight and thin enough.

I bought this TV on Amazon prime day. We were really happy with this at first. The picture was great, sound was good. However it became faulty less than 3 months later. The screen would go black then turn off when trying to switch between apps. Over the past few weeks the sound keeps turning off with the audio changing to headphones despite never having used headphones with the TV. The biggest issue is the way in which Amazon have handled this. They have offered a refund rather than an exchange - despite the TV being in stock, meaning I'd have to pay an extra £110 to buy the TV again as I bought this in the sale. So I'm now in the position of spending more for the same TV or having to manage with a faulty TV that is only 3 months old!

After purchasing this tv with no reviews available due to it being only just released, I took a gamble on purchasing this tv... but so glad I did. The tv is such a transformation on my old basic he tv, the colours 'pop out' on even mormalntv viewing, but once you play a 4k film... that's when it comes into it's own. With the added bonus of having the lights on the sides and top at the rear of the tv ot projects the picture to be even bigger than your viewing, it's adds a nice touch. The tv is of basic smart apps, but I got this for such a steal on Prime day that I can't complain as I stream my 4k films from apps so it was no biggy to me. The sound is a bit of a let down compared to say the higher brands but again adding a sound bar or in my case having a cinema system makes this a needless complaint for myself, but thought I would be honest if you decide to consider purchasing?Overall I'm very happy with my purchase and would highly recommend this tv.

Bought this on prime day, so bought it for a great deal, but after getting it would of paid full price. Pictures so good in quality and the lighting behind the tv really makes movies and games pop. 100% recommend
