    Product Summary

    Before unpacking your shiny new TV, please read the instructions on the box to remove it safely and avoid putting any pressure on the screen. If you need to return it, please make sure the plug’s not in front of the screen as this can damage it in transit.

    This 50-inch Philips smart TV fits the bill if you’re after a fab viewing experience packed with fantastic tech. It’s got a super-sharp 4K Ultra HD screen and HDR10+ for stunningly lifelike colours that’ll take you on a journey across Middle-earth, the Galaxy, and even through time. What’s more, its clever 3-sided Ambilight tech uses bright LEDs to throw colours onto the wall and create the perfect atmosphere, bringing the action into your living room. You won’t be short on films to dive into either. That’s because the TITAN OS comes jam-packed with streaming apps ready and waiting to be your personal cinema. Can’t find the remote? Don’t worry. Just connect your Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa and ask them to turn it up. All you need are the snacks.

        Poor SD picture quality

        2/5
        I purchased this TV largely off the back of the resoundingly good reviews. However, whilst the Ambilight feature is nice (and novel) and the picture quality in HD, or when streamed, is good, the SD picture quality is utterly shocking. And I mean really, really shocking. This means when just flicking between Freeview / News channels for example, the image quality for those channels not in HD is so poor, it’s barely watchable. I get that’s not necessarily how 80% of the population are now watching TV, but for those that are, I would just avoid this TV, since to watch BBC News for example, you’ll have to watch through iPlayer if you want an adequate image quality. Add to this, the TV has no App Store, so I’ve not been able to add Paramount+ for example. And the voice command only works if paired with Alexa, that’s not built in either. I don’t know if some of these issues are operator error, but overall, I’m pretty disappointed by this TV. I know the price point is cheap, but with today’s technology I would have hoped even the lower end products would provide an SD viewing experience beyond that that we had in the 80’s.

        FANTASTIC

        5/5
        The tv is fantastic. Screen quality is brilliant for gaming and the anbilight is an impressive bit of technology for when watching films. Really happy with my purchase!

        Phillips TV with ambilight, great purchase

        5/5
        Really pleased with our new TV especially with the ambilight feature, it brings the picture to life! Easy to set up and the sound quality is great.
        Alison

        Much brighter screen

        5/5
        Early days but certainly a brighter screen than our older television
        Malcolm Wright

        Brilliant TV

        5/5
        Absolutely love it. The picture quality is superb. It sounds incredible, can ditch the soundbar. The ambilight makes viewing an absolute pleasure. I have problems with my eyesight and I can now watch without getting headaches.
