Philips TV Ambilight 55OLED754/12 TV 55 inch OLED Smart TV (4K UHD, P5 Perfect Picture Engine, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos, HDR 10+, Saphi Smart TV, Alexa built-in) black (2019/2020 model) [Energy Class B]

Love this TV - the picture quality is amazing, even when relatively close. Personally I love the ambilight as it makes the viewing experience greater. It’s easy to set up and there are loads of apps and features so you can set this up exactly how you want it in no time at all.I would, and have, recommend this to anyone looking for a good TV!

At the end of 2019 we were looking for a new TV, old one was still working but we decided to put that in the bedroom and upgrade the living room TV, as I am sure many of us do. Although with OLED now established and working well, we wanted to get upgrade to the latest technology (That was within reach for us) which meant aiming for a 4K OLED TV and we wanted between 55-65". The roadblock was the budget of £1K, so I looked around for a few days, across multiple sites and review pages and one which at the time kept popping up was this one. So I looked at the specs in more details, read more reviews and at the time we purchased it, it was reduced to under £1K. 65" for under £1K was out of the question. So we went for it and we have not looked back! The picture quality is incredible and looks amazing with 4K content on it. The only area I would mark it down (slightly but not enough to drop a star) was the audio and also SmartTV interface... to be honest I didnt care about this as the audio is handled with our sound system and I have never relied on the SMART TV interface, I have always used an Amazon TV or currently a nVidia Shield TV which work perfectly together. I would highly recommend this as I have tested it with 4K content both with HDR and fast moving and its great!

The OLED panel, combined with the Ambilight features make this television a jaw dropping experience in viewing quality. The colours and contrast are sublime and makes watching anything a real experience!Things to note:It's heavy. you will need two people to mount it to the wall - and tbh, just to get it out of the box.Smart features:No Now! TV, no Spotify - and I'm not sure it will have Disney+ when that comes out either.But it does have iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube (And a load of others that I've not heard of.)SatelliteIt does NOT have the FreeSat EPG / channel list - so it will download all the Astra 28 channels, but you'll need to manually sort them.

If you are into movies and have access to 100% 4K material, this TV is ok. Other than that it is awful. Normal TV from Sky HD looks very bad and the on screen movement is jittery to say the least. High speed action looks blocky.We exchanged it for the Q70R Samsung QLED TV and were stunned by the difference, The Samsung is 200 pound cheaper and out performs this TV by a mile.The issue is lack of quality upscaling in the Phillips, and an impossible menu to try and put things right.Save yourself the trouble and skip this TV.

Picture is excellent as you'd expect, 4k HDR content is mind-blowing. The design is excellent and Ambilight is just brilliant, brings a whole new dimension.However, the software needs loading into a large cannon and firing at the moon. It's just awful. Buttons are laggy verging on glacial. It forgets WiFi networks and WPS doesn't usually work so you'll be memorising your router password. It often has black screen crashes where the Ambilight stays on following what would be on screen but no picture appears, requiring a mains power cycle. The screen saver comes on just for lols during normal viewing. If you're watching Sky and you your PS4 powers down the TV will turn off.... Similarly if you turn a source on it'll power the TV on but not automatically switch to that input, just power up and say "no source found" which is minor but deeply irritating. Oh and every software update changes all the bugs out for a new set which is quite exciting really.In summary, a great TV with terrible software. For me the Ambilight outweighs the bugs so I'd still choose it over the LG.

Oct 2019: By far the best tv experience I have ever had, for the price, it has absolutely BLOWN my expectations. OLED is phenomenal.The LED's behind the tv are a great idea too, helps so much if you have eye strain. If you were worried about casting to the tv to with a Google device you can actually do that which I did not expect. Fair play Phillips fair play.Update Oct 2020: one year on, the TV has had two software update that fix the slow ish turn on times and some audio sync issues I'd had using a surround sound system! I'd say now if it wasn't before this TV is 10/10 just wow the picture quality still makes me smile!

Very buggy with ambilight and Hue sync. If you resume from standby ambilight will not come on despite being enabled in settings. You have to toggle it on and off. You then have to re-enable Hue sync, which will transition between colours very gradually regardless of the ambilight mode; this requires a power cycle (unplugging and plugging back in) to fix every single time you use the TV. It also has an issue where sometimes the audio will be out of sync and will require a power cycle to fix, sometimes more than once. Sometimes the Hue sync will lock up onto a single colour and that also requires a power cycle.It also has an aggressive screen saver that comes on after a few minutes that can't be disabled or customized. Particularly inconvenient if you use another streaming device through HDMI and have to find the other remote to get it off.You can set up an Alexa routine to change the ambilight mode without going through settings menu that would be useful if it didn't cause the screen saver to come on a few minutes later regardless of whether you're playing media.
