Philips Ambilight 42OLED809 4K OLED Smart TV - 42 Inch Display with P5 AI Perfect Picture Engine, Ultra HD Google TV, Dolby Vision and Atmos Sound, Works with Alexa and Google Voice Assistant

Phenomenal Viewing with Ambilight.

Fab TV. Great picture. Ambilight is awesome. Connected to SONOS Arc first time.The only drawback I can tell so far, , is that IF the TV is on for a long time (and I mean a long time), it wants to turn off for a while.

After researching various 65 inch TVs for far too long I chose this as it had very good reviews on various sites and the OLED.Ex panel by LG was very well rated. Originally I considered a Mini LED but as the usage case wasn’t for a bright room the clarity of OLED made more sense.The picture quality out of the box is good. There are plenty of picture modes and all the main formats are covered including Dolby Vision for gaming, light and dark modes, HDR, etc. You can set a picture per source, use the AI modes to detect the native content type and auto switch to that picture mode. Reflections are handled well. You can get a very bright, colourful picture from this panel. You’ll probably need to adjust the settings and some of the modes are rather aggressive in how they manipulate the image so you’ll need to turn down or off various options. FlatpanelsHD have a good resource for this.Sound for a TV of this type isn’t terrible. Dialogue is clear, there’s almost discernible bass, the speakers try to replicate Atmos effects and the soundstage is reasonably wide but honestly get a soundbar or AVR to get the best out of it. It will pass through all the Dolby you’ll ever need.Google tv is pretty good and certainly a step above WebOS and Tizen. It’s smooth, snappy, well presented. No BBC iplayer which is an odd decision but where it becomes more bizarre is the tuner. A single LMB coupled with no Freeview and the clunkiest interface for sorting channels because it just doesn’t do that feels cheap and poorly thought out. Yes most people probably use Sky or similar but for free to air TV this is a shocking oversight and means you’re plugging in yet another device to do something that should have been done better in the first instance.Pros:Really sharp, well sorted pictureGoogle TV is arguably the nicest interfaceReally well thought out remote controlAmbilight does add a lot to the experienceThe swivel stand is very sturdy and goodCons:Single LMB connection is cheapNo Freeview or channel sorting is irritating2x HDMI 2.1 could be a deal breaker

So glad I got this TV its really amazing the image is 10/10 the built in amberlight really pushes movies and gaming the extra mile.Highly Recommend 2 Buy.

This TV isn’t certificated for BBC iPlayer which is a pain. Philips have also stopped supporting their own Hue light integration unlike my last Ambilight TV which supported all my additional Hue lights! Why!!Picture great though and great to finally have eArc for amazing external surround sound

Pulled out of box , lot of setting up with Google , only tried for a few minutes just to see if it’s working, put back away as it’s Xmas present

The latest PHILIPS OLED 809 TV (48 inches) has a Sleek Design, Great Ambilght, Natural Picture Quality, Apple Airplay/Homekit Compatibility, Solid Stand and a Remarkable Remote. I give it a five-star rating for being different and highly recommend it!
