PHILIPS 65OLED807/12 65inch 4K UHD OLED SMART TV WiFi Dolby Atmos Ambilight

Product Information

As usual, there are too many picture modes to select from and any user is bound to be confused. We continue to encourage TV makers to clean up and simplify. We cannot imagine any single user out there who wants so many marginally different picture modes to choose from. The purist only needs one which is a calibrated mode. A Game mode can also useful but with ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) that automatically switches the TV to game settings, one could imagine an all-in-one solution that simply deactivated additional processing to bring down input lag. And there's Ambilight. This unique-to-Philips technology spreads light that matches what's on-screen across the walls, making the TV feel even bigger, and helping with eye comfort and atmosphere. We'll talk more about it later, but it really is a compelling addition. Approximate diagonal size of the display.

The Philips OLED807 range supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10+ Adaptive, HDR10 and HLG and now IMAX Enhanced certification has been added for 2022. Smart duties are handled by the Android TV 11 operating system with Google Assistant built-in. Sound is supplied by a 70W 2.1-channel sound system. Philips OLED807 features two HDMI 2.1 ports with support for 4K120 and VRR in combination with the latest game consoles, PS5 and Xbox Series X. The TV automatically detects a game in the HDMI signal (ALLM) and switches to its fastest picture mode which reduces input lag to less than 16 ms (with a 4K 60Hz signal). At this time, we cannot measure input lag in VRR or 120Hz mode but it will be even lower here. This wouldn’t matter, of course, if you could just switch between picture presets and leave your involvement with the TV’s menus at that. As we’ve seen, though, consistently getting the best from the OLED807 means familiarising yourself with at least some parts of its picture adjustment menus. It's also worth noting that all of the firm's 2022 Ambilight TVs continue to offer the full range of HDR formats, so that's Dolby Vision, HLG, HDR10 and HDR10+ (including HDR10+ Adaptive). New for 2022 is the addition of IMAX Enhanced support. Improved Ambilight It makes you work harder to get the best out of it than it should, but the effort is more than worth it. There’s not a better TV available at its price.

The Philips OLED807 has a similar minimalist design to most of the other OLED TVs on the market, with an ultra-thin metal bezel and a panel that’s millimetres deep at the top, before widening out further down where the electronics, speakers and connections are housed. Since this is a Philips TV, this deeper rear section also includes LEDs for the Ambilight system – more on that later. Philips keeps up when it comes to picture quality and features. The two HDMI 2.1 ports enable VRR, 4K120 and eARC. Philips has also reduced input lag and improved Ambilight that can now extend to Philips Play-Fi speakers. The OLED EX panel's peak brightness is not as high as the brightest OLED TVs on the market or our reference TV but high enough to ensure an excellent HDR viewing experience in combination with OLED's other picture characteristics. USB recording for digital channels only, recordings may be limited by broadcast copy protection (CI+). Country and channel restrictions may apply.

If you like me no longer use the built-in tuners, you have no use for the 0-9 buttons and channel selectors. And if you use the built-in streaming apps it would be more useful to have user-customizable app buttons than the four sponsored buttons.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. Information about the brightness of the screen. It is measured in candela per square metre (cd/m²). Throughout, build quality is unarguable. Given the asking price, it’s no surprise to find a lot of plastic used in the 807’s construction, and in places it’s quite hard, ordinary-feeling plastic too. But everything is screwed together properly, nothing groans or creaks, and the way the stand has been chromed is flawless. For the money, it’s hard to know what else you can realistically expect. Features Philips created 'The One' TV in 2019, pitching it as a mid-range model for mainstream TV buyers who want a decent, future-proof set at an affordable price.

While the sound doesn’t stretch into the room a huge amount, there’s a good degree of width and height to the audio, making for an atmospheric presentation that manages to convey the openness of the stormy street outside Bill and Georgie’s house in It, and the echoey storm drain where Pennywise makes his first, disturbing appearance. The dynamic contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce over time, for example, in the course of playing a video.Subtitles and audio description information displayed on electronic programme guide programme banner It offers strong HDR support (HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, Dolby Vision) but gaming features seem to have taken a hit. HDMI 2.1 is present but there's no eARC or Auto Low Latency Mode. What's more, resolution maxes out at 4K@60Hz so games won't run as smoothly as they might (if played at 4K@120Hz).

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.There's support for both AMD FreeSync Premium and Nvidia G-Sync VRR formats, and input lag on 1080p/60Hz signals measured 15.1ms in my tests. Not the absolute lowest in town, but low enough to likely not significantly contribute to a poor gaming performance. The 2.1-channel sound setup in the OLED807 does not benefit - directly, anyway - from Philips’ successful working relationship with UK hi-fi brand Bowers & Wilkins. That doesn’t stop it from sounding seriously good, though. The storage altitude shows the maximum possible altitude for secure storing of the display. Storing it above this limit may result in damaging the display. The static contrast shows the ratio between the brightest and the darkest color, which the display can reproduce simultaneously, for example, within one and the same frame/scene. We could spend a good few thousand words next on the myriad picture adjustments provided within Philips convoluted menu system. It really does feel like Philips has given you control over, well, everything. For the sake of everyone’s sanity, though, we’ll limit ourselves to saying that while enthusiasts may embrace and enjoy exploring the huge range of adjustments the 55OLED807 carries, it can all be a bit intimidating to more regular folk.
