Philips P5 Engine. Whatever the source, always perfection. The Philips P5 Perfect Picture Engine delivers an image as brilliant as the content you love. Details have noticeably more depth.

Ambilight. Take the emotion beyond the screen. Ambilight. Take the emotion beyond the screen. With Philips Ambilight, movies and games feel more immersive. Music gets a light show.

A clear, intuitive interface lets you put the content you love front and centre. Easily pick up where you left off in the latest series, or check out the new movie releases.
Bright 4K LED TV. Vibrant HDR picture. Smooth motion. Bright 4K LED TV. Vibrant HDR picture. Smooth motion. A Philips 4K UHD TV brings content to life with rich colours and crisp contrast. Images have more depth and motion is smooth. Movies, shows, games and more look great no matter the source.
Exceptional Bowers & Wilkins audio performance. A picture this life-like demands true sound. An exclusive speaker design by legendary audio engineers Bowers & Wilkins delivers thrillingly life-like performance. An integrated sub-woofer, tweeters and full-range drivers produce deep, well-defined bass, pristine dialogue and crystal-clear high frequencies. Even at low volume.
Kvadrat speaker cloth. Designed to let the sound through. Sound this perfect should be heard with no obstructions. The soundbar on this Philips TV is covered with a premium speaker cloth created by high-end manufacturer Kvadrat. This beautiful wool-blend material is acoustically transparent, allowing every scintillating detail to flow freely from the speaker into the room.
HDR10+ supported. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Your Philips TV is primed to get the most out of the HDR10+ video format. Contrast, colour and brightness levels are adjusted from frame to frame. Whether it's a must-watch series or the new blockbuster, shadows will be deeper. Bright surfaces will shine. Colours will be truer. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Cinematic vision and sound.
AI voice control. Google Assistant built in. Works with Alexa. Control your Philips Android TV with your voice. Want to play a game, watch Netflix or find content and apps in the Google Play store? Just tell your TV. You can even command all Google Assistant-compatible smart home devices, like dimming the lights and setting the thermostat on movie night. Without leaving the sofa. The days of searching for the TV remote are over. Now you can use your voice to control your Philips smart TV via Alexa-enabled devices, like Amazon Echo. Turn your TV on, change the channel, switch to your gaming console and more with Alexa.
Wide colour gamut. More colours. More vibrancy. Wide Colour Gamut increases the standard colour gamut from 72% to 90%–99%, resulting in more vivid and brilliant colours. The greenest green, the bluest blue and the reddest red, the expanded colour reproduction abilities of a 4K Ultra HD TV are closer than ever to what we see in a digital cinema.
