In the Philips lineup, the TV is considered one of the older LED models. Only versions with Mini LED technology, like 65PML9506, and OLED are quoted above, but they are also significantly more expensive.
Signature lighting and new acoustics
The chips of the model include 4-sided background lighting Ambilight. LEDs that react to what is happening on the screen are even in the lower part of the case. This solution looks most impressive when wall mounted. But if the legs are involved, then their height can be increased. This, among other things, was done in order to be able to place a soundbar. Although, probably, only audiophiles will need it.
So, Philips 65PUS9206 offers decent built-in acoustics. A pair of 10W speakers is complemented by a 30W subwoofer. The latter is located on the back of the TV and has a soft movable connection with the body, so that even with the bass turned to the maximum, there are no extraneous squeaks or unwanted vibrations.
Android TV 10 + everything you need to play games
With the Android TV 10 operating platform, the TV turns into a centre of multimedia entertainment. Popular Google apps and features (including Chromecast), the world's best online movie theaters (Netflix, Disney+ and Prime Video) and Spotify music service are immediately available out of the box. To install everything else, there is a built-in storage of 16 GB. And for control, a stylish remote with leather trim, support for voice commands and Google Assistant with Amazon Alexa is offered.
To work in tandem with a console or gaming PC, the Philips 65PUS9206 is also ready. The matrix refresh rate is 120 fps, and there is HDMI 2.1 for signal transmission in 4K @ 120Hz format. Other gaming highlights include low input lag, AMD FreeSync and VRR features, and a dedicated Ambilight gaming mode.
High-quality HDR picture
Custom model with all the latest HDR standards, including premium HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The display's brightness margin is enough to notice the main advantages of the image with a wide dynamic range. Positive impressions from movie viewing will be provided by high contrast ratio. Plus, only flattering words deserve colour accuracy even without additional settings. The only drawback of the image is the small viewing angles.
The Philips 65PUS9206 is a well-balanced TV with an interesting competitive edge in the form of 4-sided backlighting.
