This is aimed to be a (reasonably) informative review without getting technical.I will aim to cover the main points and will try and answer other questions if people have them.I must also add I bought this myself, out of my own money and have no affiliation to any company.The question many people will probably ask is, why the heck should I pay £1,800 for a 65" television when I can get one for a heck of a lot less?The answer here is OLED + Ambilight = the best television I have experienced!I am already a convert to OLED televisions and have had an LG 55" one for the last 4 years.I simply wanted to go bigger and have just moved the LG set to the bedroom.Skip the marketing spouted by others (yes Samsung,you in particular), OLED is simply better than any other display type out there right now because it gives contrast levels (differences between dark and light) a a pixel level (that is each individual dot!)The result of all that is black that are totally black (you don't realise the importance of this until you experience it) and colours that are totally liefelike.Now I used the think the picture on the LG was gorgeous, and it still is to be honest, but this Philips television has taken it to a whole new level of detail.Standard HD looks spectacular, a notable improvement over the "old" LG set.Feed it a proper 4k (UHD) signal though and you are just mesmerised by the beauty. Heck, even the wife, who is normally uninterested in such things, was amazed and made me keep putting new stuff on to watch!So the picture is incredible. I am sure the new LG sets are equally as good (it is an LG screen anyway) , but then you add in the Ambilight...Now I had heard it is quite impressive, but I was not ready for just how much of a difference it makes.It is difficult to explain really, but it just adds to the viewing experience in a way that makes you notice it when it is not there in a negative way.Why other manufacturers have not tried something similar, I do not know (unless the Philips patent is utterly watertight) because it is hugely impressive.I will refrain from going all geeky, but it supports other display goodies like HR10 (ooh bright colours!) and Dolby Vision (ooh bright colours using a different method!) along with all manner of things you can do with the picture.If you want to know more about that, go read the technical reviews, I am trying to keep this interesting :).Sound is REALLY impressive - for a television that is.We are not talking good soundbar or home cinema level here, but I was surprised.Apps (well it is a smart TV)?Errr, lots of them, and it uses Android (9) which is easy to use if you are not an Apple addict ;-)It has all the usual ones, BBC, ITV, Netflix Amazon and you can download more from the Play store.I use a fire stick so I can't comment on the long term experiences with these, but I do know that earlier versions of Android on televisions had a few "challenges" on occasion.One thing I should point out is that this television is HEAVY!Really Philips, just how did you make a super thin television so damn heavy??Setting this up, either wall mounted (uses standard ISO 300x300 fixings) or on its (very nice) feet on a stand is a 2 person job. Don't try and play the hero, it could be a painful and seriously costly mistake!A word (or 2 in this case) to those wondering about it for their console?Forget it!This is not designed for gaming so the lag will probably be noticeable and it does nopt support the new 4k/120hz stuff that the new consoles can run.However the new models coming out very shortly will support this (but will also cost quite a bit more).A final word about the remote.It is good, not too weighty (unlike the TV!) and has a pleasant leather backing (which may put off the more evangelical vegans) which feels good in the hand. It is back lit, but you need to press a button to make it light up (Philips, could you not have put in a simple motion sensor to make it light up??)Overall (and if you are still awake) I would say this probably should be the top of your list if you want a really good 65" television.If you are feeling particularly flush, go check out the 935OLED model which has a built in Bowers & Wilkins sound bar and apparently has sound quality to match the picture (Bowers and Wilkins make some wonderful speakers so I can believe that).I will update this in future with my longer term experiences.

I've moved from an LG 55" OLED to this. OLED it where it's at for picture quality, the contrast and blacks are just unbeatable, colours pop and the picture is a step forward even from my 3yr old set, which I didn't think was possible.I've had none of the issues other reviewers have mentioned with apps etc. Smooth android experience, great ambilight tech and integration with Hue. Very stylish and minimalist design.My only criticism would be that the TV has to be mounted at least 10cm from the wall if you want the best effect from the ambilight, although it's not mandatory.

I had second thoughts about buying having seen the problem reviews. Well it was unpacked and linked up to existing leads. Wow it is an amazing picture and excellent sound with the Atomic Dolby especially on Music.Very 3D sound. Interestingly the picture from my Humax is better than Sky.Anyway we are blown away by it and it has enhanced our viewing wonderfully especially on country and city views.Highly recommended.But where can you put a sound bar.

I love philips and this tv does not disappoint.The picture quality is amazing and the Ambilight makes watching TV a much better experience and less stressful on the eye.Love it?
