Philips 77OLED807-12 77 Inch Smart 4K Ultra HD HDR OLED TV

Product Information

While this still won’t get OLED close to the sort of peak brightness levels possible with high-end LCD TVs, even an extra 10 per cent has the potential to have an impact beyond its mere numerical value when you’re talking about OLED’s pixel-level light control, where an image’s brightest point can sit right alongside its darkest point without either one compromising the other.

Enhanced Ambient intelligence adjusts brightness, gamma and colour in real time to suit changing ambient lighting conditions. Since the 807 uses DTS Play-Fi wireless technology, it can be part of a high-resolution, multi-room audio setup and will easily connect to a soundbar, additional rear speakers, subwoofers and other compatible products via an app. The 807 also has the option of using the TV's speakers as a dedicated centre channel when in a multi-speaker configuration. Information about whether the stand can be dismounted. Usually, this is required for wall mounting. Sony A95L combines next-gen Quantum Dot tech with Sony's exceptional processing and eye for authenticity to produce a picture that's both stunning and subtle. ★★★★★The OLED807 is Philips' top dog for 2022 (so far). It features an OLED EX display that promises 30% more brightness compared to a standard OLED, not to mention the firm's top picture performance and gaming features. ALLM, meanwhile, simply ensures that you automatically get the best visual experience from both games and movies / TV shows. If you're a more casual gamer or not a gamer at all, you can pretty much disregard these features, and doing so will usually save you a lot of cash. How we tested OLED TVs How we test OLED TVs A new Aurora feature even lets you combine Ambilight with a selection of ‘screen saver’ videos and images, ensuring that your TV could remain an attractive centrepiece to your living room even when you’re not actually watching it… assuming you don't mind the extra energy use. Philips can hardly be accused of failing to provide enough set up features, though, to help pretty much any buyer get the picture looking exactly as they want it to look. The Philips OLED807 is a 4K (3,840 x 2,160) HDR smart TV that uses a 120Hz OLED panel with the latest AI-enhanced P5 perfect picture processing engine, the brand’s proprietary four-sided Ambilight rear-mounted LEDs, and support for Dolby Atmos object-based audio.

The OLED807 has two extra drivers over the OLED806 it replaces, resulting in a 4.1 system rated to a claimed, impressive-sounding 70W in total. And the TV does actually sound pretty impressive, as long as you avoid the default Entertainment setting, which adds a slightly synthetic edge to some sounds and seems to exaggerate bass to a degree that makes voices sound a bit unnatural.The ratio between the horizontal and the vertical side of the display. Some of the standard and widely used aspect ratios are 4:3, 5:4, 16:9 and 16:10. To be clear, broadly speaking we don't recommend that you invest in an 8K TV at the moment. There's practically no 8K content that's worth watching – and none even confirmed as being on the way. But, if you want to use 8K and OLED in the same sentence when describing your TV to friends, the LG OLED77Z2 is the set to get. Featuring a giant 77-inch OLED screen, the Z2 is the only 8K OLED TV we’ve tested – Samsung’s competing QE75QN900B uses a Mini LED panel instead. Philips’ tone mapping is clever enough to ensure that even the new, more intense HDR highlights don’t succumb to clipping (loss of subtle shading detail). In fact, the extra 100 nits or so more of native brightness the OLED807 finds on a white HDR window actually makes clipping less rather than more likely to occur.

Its picture quality, meanwhile, takes a relatively aggressive approach that will win it many fans in both crowded electronics stores and living rooms – yet it also carries modes able to give you a more accurate picture if that’s your bag. Even its sound is way more powerful than that of most rivals. It really brings movies to life in dim viewing rooms and is bright enough to also make daytime viewing of normal TV programs a joy The Android TV system is very snappy and responsive here, and certainly more so than on last year’s Philips TVs. However, this 11th version’s attempts to provide a more personalised, recommendations-based user experience are somewhat hampered by the fact that it only currently taps into five apps, only three of which (Prime Video, Apple TV and Disney+) you probably use, for its recommendations.

New for 2022 is the Philips 9507. The company's high-end MiniLED TV features a 4K 120Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 support that adds VRR (variable refresh rate) and a low latency mode. It sounds like a great option for gamers, but we look forward to confirming that later in the year. New gaming features

Philips TV’s unique anti-burn technology uses an advanced logo detection function to monitor a grid of zones to accurately detect static content and gradually reduce the intensity of its local light output to avoid burn‐in – and without compromising the output of other parts of the screen.

Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Picture quality: The OLED42C3 features the same panel as other 42-inch OLED TVs such as the Sony XR-42A90K. This panel is less bright than the one used for the best and brightest larger OLED TVs, and that's before you even consider the new MLA and QD-OLED technologies. Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). The Philips OLED807 not only improves markedly on the already good picture quality of its predecessor, but also features presets that are much more effective right out of the box, making it much easier to use. Though that doesn’t mean you won’t still have to spend at least a little time delving into its intimidatingly huge setup menus. The design will always split opinion, but I happen to really like the way the set looks and functions having lived with one for a number of weeks now. The picture quality with SDR and HDR content is superb and among the best, I have seen this year for accuracy out of the box and when calibrated. But if accuracy is not your thing, and you detest manufacturers' Vivid modes, Philips also offers you something more balanced but with stronger, brighter colours along with edge enhancement and sharpening features and motion processing to give you a silky smooth image, if that is what you want. The thing is, there is a choice for everyone within the Philips picture line-up where some care has been taken with every picture preset on offer.
