The one with magical Ambilight. Only from Philips.

With Philips Ambilight, every moment feels closer. Intelligent LEDs around the edge of the TV respond to the on-screen action and emit an immersive glow that's simply captivating. Experience it once and wonder how you enjoyed TV without it.

Cinematic vision and sound. Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos

Support for Dolby's premium sound and video formats means that the HDR content that you watch will look—and sound—glorious. You'll enjoy a picture that reflects the director's original intentions and experience spacious sound with real clarity and depth.

The one that's simply smart. Android TV

Your Philips Android TV gives you the content you want—when you want it. You can customise the home screen to display your favourite apps, making it simple to start streaming the movies and shows you love. Or pick up where you left off.

Whatever the source, always perfection. Philips P5 engine.

The Philips P5 engine delivers a picture as brilliant as the content you love. Details have noticeably more depth. Colours are vivid, while skin tones look natural. Contrast is so crisp you'll feel every detail. Motion is perfectly smooth.

The one with a vibrant HDR picture. Philips 4K UHD TV.

Your Philips 4K UHD TV is compatible with all major HDR formats, including Dolby Vision. Whether it's a must-watch series or the latest video game, shadows will be deeper. Bright surfaces will shine. Colours will be truer.

The one for multi-room audio. DTS Play-Fi compatible

With DTS Play-Fi on your Philips TV you can connect to compatible speakers in any room. Got wireless speakers in the kitchen? Listen to the film while you make a snack, or keep up with the sports commentary while you get everyone drinks.

The one for gamers. Low latency on any console.

Your Philips TV boasts the latest HDMI 2.1 connectivity, and the TV automatically switches to a low latency setting when you start playing a game on your console. VRR is supported for smooth fast-action gameplay. Ambilight's gaming mode brings the thrill right into the room.

Voice control. The Google Assistant. Works with Alexa.

Push a button on the remote to talk to the Google Assistant. Control the TV or Google Assistant-compatible smart home devices with your voice. Or ask Alexa to control the TV via Alexa-enabled devices.

Major HDR formats. See more of what the director intended.

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.

Easy text input. Remote control with QWERTY keyboard.

Your TV's remote control has a full QWERTY-based keyboard integrated into its rear side, making text input a whole lot quicker. Typing passwords for your streaming accounts, searching for content and entering web addresses has never been easier.

Slim, attractive design

Looking for a TV that fits with your room? The virtually bezel-free screen of this 4K smart TV goes with just about any interior. The slim feet make it seem as if the screen is floating above your TV unit and you can widen the feet to accommodate longer soundbars.
