Big on colour. Big on sound. Big on lifelike.

Vibrant colours. Vibrant sound. From movies to games, this MiniLED TV invites you to dive into the brilliance of the content you love. Get lost in the lifelike picture, immersive Bowers & Wilkins sound and magical 4 sided Ambilight.
All-round immersion. 4 sided Ambilight. With Philips 4 sided 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.
Big-screen brilliance. Mini LED TV. Your Philips Mini LED TV supports all major HDR formats and gives you a truly impressive big-screen picture with deep blacks and lifelike colours. Over a thousand intelligent backlight zones are independently dimmed or brightened to enable pin-sharp contrast and real depth.
Whatever you watch, a picture so real. P5 engine with AI. 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.
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.
Great for gaming. Ultra-low latency on any console Your Philips TV boasts the latest HDMI 2.1 connectivity and automatically switches to an ultra-low-latency setting when you start playing a game on your console. VRR and Freesync are supported for smooth fast-action gameplay. Ambilight's gaming mode brings the thrill right into the room.
Premium-quality materials. From stand to remote. Every inch of this TV looks and feels premium. The brushed and polished silver metal bezel. The angled sound enclosure clad in Kvadrat speaker fabric. The soft, textured leather-backed remote. Why settle for anything less?
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.
Multi-room audio. DTS Play-Fi 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.
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.
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.
Immersive sound. Bowers & Wilkins meets Dolby Atmos. An exclusive speaker design by legendary audio engineers Bowers & Wilkins delivers thrillingly lifelike performance. Up-firing speakers let you get the most out of Dolby Atmos. A central tweeter keeps the dialogue pristine no matter how intense the drama gets.
