Sophisticated performance. Minimalist design.

Immerse yourself in a sharp, polished picture with natural colours and rich contrast. This slim, elegant Philips 4K OLED TV brings lifelike depth and fluid motion to the content you love. Ambilight completes the picture beautifully.

Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. Cinematic vision and sound.

Support for Dolby's premium sound and video formats means the HDR content you watch will look—and sound—gloriously real. Whether it's the latest streaming series or a Blu-Ray disc set, you'll enjoy contrast, brightness and colour that reflect the director's original intentions. And hear spacious sound with clarity, detail and depth.

Works with Alexa.

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.

The magic of 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.

Philips OLED TV. This is what lifelike feels like.

With a Philips OLED TV, you get a wider viewing angle and a uniquely lifelike HDR picture where every scene feels impressively real. Blacks are deeper, colours are more vibrant and details in shadows and highlights are precisely reproduced.

P5 engine with AI. Whatever you watch, a picture so real.

Philips P5 processor with AI delivers a picture so real it feels like you could step right into it. A deep-learning AI algorithm processes images in a manner similar to the human brain. No matter what you're watching, you get lifelike detail and contrast, rich colour and smooth motion.

HDR10+. See more of what the director intended.

With a Philips HDR10+ TV, picture quality is even more immersive and lifelike. Dynamic metadata enables your TV to adjust brightness levels from frame to frame. From bright skies to candlelit temples, colours look real. Original details are preserved. Contrast is impeccable.

Android TV. Simply smart.

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.

The Google Assistant

A Philips Android TV with the Google Assistant lets you control your TV and more with your voice. Want to find content and apps, play games or get answers on screen? Just ask. You can even control Google Assistant-compatible smart home devices.
