Get ready to find out more about the Philips 55PUS7805.
A Symphony of Design: Sleek Aesthetics and Immersive Ambilight
The Philips 55PUS7805 is iconic of modern design thanks to the slender bezels that help the television minimize interruptions to your line-of-sight and maximise the time you spend watching, and the overall minimal profile of the television that fits snugly into most modern décors to bring a touch of class and sophistication to your living room. But the piece de resistance of the 55PUS7805, and accented by the name Philips, is its innovative signature **Ambilight technology**.
Like other Philips televisions before it, Ambilight involves having a number of LED lights on the back of the TV facing outwards that project a broad source of light onto the wall behind, expanding the borders of your screen to the walls and creating a captivating halo of light that is entirely dependent on what is happening in your film or television show. As such, when you are watching intense scenes – whether it be an action-packed sequence from a Hollywood Summer blockbuster or a dramatic scene from your favourite TV show – the lights race and change colour to reflect the shifting tones of the screen.
Similarly, when your scene is far more relaxed, the lights calmly tone themselves to match. It’s always impossible to know exactly how the Ambilight will react to your visual stimuli until you turn on the TV. Having the lights flickering in time with a particularly fast-paced car chase or a hectic fire-fight will immensely help to capture and emphasise the intensity of the situation, whereas a calm or relaxing setting for a film or television episode will seamlessly transform your experience to make it appear far more immersive and vast. As such, Ambilight is incredibly important to how immersive your viewing experience may be.
Picture Perfection: 4K UHD Resolution and HDR10+ Support
Inside the Philips 55PUS7805, a **4K UHD panel** with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels offers up to 8.3 million pixels on the screen altogether, resulting in incredible detail and a highest level of sharpness and clarity. Watching your favourite movies on this device or playing the latest video game or your favourite TV series feels like getting completely immersed into this content – such an extraordinary picture quality is offered by the Philips 55PUS7805. Along with premium-quality images, the TV supports the cutting-edge **HDR10+ technology** that enhances the dynamic range of the picture and allows the display to render deeper blacks, brighter whites, and a vastly broader palette of colours delivery.
Therefore, this technology makes the viewing experience appearing much more realistic and visually impressive, making the Philips 55PUS7805 an excellent device for watching any HDR content from HDR movies to documentaries and more. The subtlest picture nuances and intricate details get pronounced so vividly, that only an OLED TV can be compared in terms of delivering such impeccable and vivid picture quality.
Sound and Clarity: A Balanced Audio Experience
Unfortunately, there is no dedicated Yamaha soundbar supplied with this Philips 55PUS7805 and its built-in speakers can’t rival the immersive soundstage of the Samsung UE55KU6200. Nevertheless, they deliver decent audio, considering that their clarity and balance will ensure that even the most ordinary output still packs a satisfying punch. Moreover, if you pair it with an external soundbar – or even a home cinema system – the sound will easily be raised to the same quality as the images. Truly, this could be the best 55 inch TV you can buy – the screen for the home cinema adventure of your dreams.Smart Features and Seamless Connectivity: A World of Entertainment at Your Fingertips
The Philips 55PUS7805 runs on the **Android TV operating system**. This means you have access to thousands of apps, including popular streaming services such as Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Now TV and many, many more. This represents a world of entertainment potential, with new content – music, films, TV series, documentaries, sports matches and more – added practically every day. If you look around it’s all available through one of these apps.
The Android TV interface is a common one and easy to navigate: as long as you know even just a little about smart TVs, you’ll find the menus are easy-to-master and you’ll be able to get to where you want to be in seconds. The Philips 55PUS7805 comes with Google Assistant (or Amazon Alexa, as I reviewed here) voice control built in. This allows hands-free navigation; no longer do you have to use a remote control, you can literally call out to your TV to perform an action: ‘Find content from Amazon Prime Video’ or ‘Play Jecca the Hedgehog’. ‘Alexa, quick control the Philips 55PUS7805’ is even better that calling out to your TV. On top of that, you can control your smart home is your first taste of the future of a connected home.
