The immersion offered by the Philips brand with its Ambilight TVs is very appealing. Plus, you don't have to spend a lot of money to enjoy it at the start of the new year. For example, this 55-inch model is on sale for only 376.85 euros.
To compete with the market leaders, Philips is adding Ambilight lighting technology on 3 sides to its televisions. A significant advantage for the manufacturer, which stands out by making your content more immersive and dynamic. If you are interested, know that at the moment, the 55PUS8009 model does not cost more than 380 euros.
3 good reasons to choose the Philips 55PUS8079
- A beautiful immersion thanks to Ambilight technology
- 4K, with HDR, Dolby Vision and Atmos processing
- Practical gaming features for gamers
Instead of 450 euros normally, the Philips 55PUS8009 television is trading today at only 376.85 euros on the PC Componentes website.
LCD certainly, but with something extra
The Philips 55PUS8009 television may not have an Oled or Qled panel, but its LCD panel is of good quality. It offers 4K UHD definition (3,840 x 2,160 pixels) to provide good image quality. It also has HDR10+, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos compatibility for vast and immersive sound.
Philips has a real argument to stand out from the competition: Ambilight. A specialty of the Dutch firm, Ambilight technology on 3 sides artificially gives more depth to the image. This is made possible by a light halo diffused on the wall all around the television, and which adapts to the colors of the program viewed. Some will find this rather gimmicky, but this technology offers an immersive and more dynamic experience.
A successful smart TV, with popular gaming features
If other televisions use the Google operating system, this 55PUS8009 model runs under the TitanOS interface. A new interface similar to Google TV, which offers a variety of pre-installed applications and the possibility of downloading others. It also provides access to the most popular streaming applications such as Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+ and MyCanal, etc. Compatibility with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa is also included to take advantage of voice control.
Finally, it may not be the best for gaming, it is still compatible with variable image refresh rate (VRR) and ALLM. This is of real interest to gamers, since it improves the sharpness of the image and eliminates screen tearing. Result: the gaming experience is fluid and stable. On the other hand, the TV does not benefit from 4K@120 Hz, because the panel is blocked at 60 Hz.
