Philips 55PUS7009 (55PUS7009/12)

With care for the environment

The Philips 4K TV is the entry-level model in the brand's lineup. Unlike most of its peers, it lacks Ambilight backlighting, but it does offer a laconic, all-round design with minimally thin bezels and a standard two-legged stand.

One of the features of the Philips 55PUS7009 is its emphasis on eco-friendliness. The TV packaging is made of recycled cardboard, and the remote control is made of recycled plastic, which does not prevent it from being functional. It supports voice control (interaction with Amazon Alexa assistant) and includes quick access buttons to YouTube, Netflix, Disney+ and other popular services.

Clear picture and game features

The TV is equipped with a 55-inch screen with Ultra HD resolution and the proprietary Pixel Precise Ultra HD processor. This tandem is claimed to provide smooth video, rich colors and a clear image. The picture looks quite balanced in most viewing scenarios, which is a positive feature for this price category.

The gaming functionality of the model deserves special attention. It includes one HDMI 2.1 port and support for profile technologies such as ALLM and VRR. The first is responsible for automatically activating the gaming mode when turning on the console or launching games on a PC, and the second synchronizes the refresh rate for a more comfortable gaming process.

OS TITAN

An important feature of the TV is the proprietary TITAN operating system. It offers a user-friendly interface and content search, and includes all popular streaming services, many of which are already pre-installed. However, it is slightly inferior to similar "shells" in terms of the variety of available applications and games.

It is also worth noting that Wi-Fi 4 is used for wireless internet connection, which may sometimes be insufficient for stable 4K content streaming. In any case, the Philips 55PUS7009 is a balanced model from a reliable brand.
