Television Philips 55PUS8602

Even brighter and richer image

The TV is the debut solution from Philips, which uses a new technology — Quantum Dot. It is an analogue and competitor of the QLED backlight offered by Samsung.

Quantum dot technology provides a rich colour palette, its accuracy, as well as high peak brightness parameters (700 cd/m2). Count on an even more impressive picture when playing content shot in high dynamic range (HDR).

Stylish design with Ambilight

The visual appeal of the Philips 55PUS8602 is emphasized by the minimal thickness of the panel itself, which is less than 5 cm, as well as a thin metal bezel around the 55-inch screen. But the main feature is the three-sided backlight Ambilight. Above, to the left and to the right of the screen, it projects a halo of light in the tones of the currently playing content.

Clear picture and quality sound

The Philips 55PUS8602 is equipped with a 10-bit VA matrix and supports Ultra HD resolution. The powerful P5 Perfect Picture processor is designed to improve the contrast and brightness of the picture, as well as to ensure the smoothness of the video sequence, in which proprietary technologies help him: Micro Dimming Pro and 3200 PPI, respectively. The disadvantages include a decrease in the quality of colour reproduction and other image parameters at large angles.

Under the screen is a soundbar. The audio system is represented by a pair of speakers of 25 W each. They will take care of a loud and rather deep sound.

Android TV 6.0

To play TV channels of digital quality, the model received the main TV tuners, including those receiving a satellite signal. The TV is equipped with popular interfaces, including 4 HDMI, 2 USB, network port, mini-Jack. You can also connect Philips 55PUS8602 to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

"Smart" features are revealed by the Android TV 6.0 platform. It provides access to the widest range of Google Play apps and services. But in terms of interface convenience and overall performance, the OS of competitors (LG and Samsung) is still losing. This shortcoming is partially offset by a multimedia remote with a QWERTY layout on the back of the case, quick access buttons for Netflix and support for voice control.

Philips 55PUS8602 is able to compete on equal terms with popular QLED models, for example, Samsung QE-55Q7F, having important advantages in the form of Ambilight backlight and affordable price.
