I posted this last night, but the mods needed confirmation. Great price for a 65” ambilight tv.

Thanks to the unique Ambilight-enhanced picture, the Philips 65PUS8008 draws you into the onscreen action.

The ideal TV for movies, boxsets and gaming
Whether you’re watching movies, boxsets, sports or gaming, the Philips 65PUS8008 optimises the picture with its unique Ambilight technology, extending colour beyond the screen. With HDR10+ and gaming features, the picture is further enhanced, making this the ideal choice for getting the most from all your onscreen entertainment.

Unique 3-sided Ambilight for expansive viewing
Unique to Philips, Ambilight technology expands the picture’s presence, giving a more immersive and engaging experience. With intelligent LEDs around three sides of the screen, colour from the picture is cast into the room – in real time. Colour, vibrancy and excitement move beyond the screen and into your room, bringing you a viewing experience beyond the ordinary on this Philips 65 inch TV.

4K Ultra HD, delivered with precision
With Philips’ Pixel Precise Ultra HD Engine on board, the 65PUS8008 optimises 4K material. Picture Precise Ultra HD delivers smoother motion and lifelike colour. Combined with the incredible detail from 4K resolution, you get superb realism that makes the picture truly ‘pop’.

Enhanced detail, with HDR10+
For picture enhancement, the Philips 65PUS8008 supports HDR10+. This premium HDR format delivers scene-by-scene mastering for the truest, most accurate HDR picture technology. Each scene is optimised, meaning the maximum amount of detail is shown – even in the brightest or darkest moments. The result is image quality that’s closer than ever to how the director intended. For wide-ranging HDR compatibility, this Philips TV also supports HDR10 and HLG.

Ideal for gaming
A selection of features make this Philips ideal for the keen gamer. Game Mode gives you enhanced responses and clarity. With support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), you get a great gaming experience with exceptionally low input lag.

Smart TV from Philips
Powered by Philips’ New OS, accessing Smart TV on this TV is a cinch. The intuitive system lets you continue watching a series, straight from the home screen, browse content by categories and see suggestions from the top streaming services – all in one place. All your favourite Smart TV apps are available, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and YouTube. The Philips store lets you access a whole host more.

Works with your voice assistant
Whether you use Google or Alexa, the 65PUS8008 is happy to link up. Simply pair with a Google or Alexa smart speaker and enjoy voice control for popular functions such as volume control and content search.

Connect your sources
Three HDMI sockets make it easy to connect a Blu-ray player, games console and TV set-top box. It also includes twin USB sockets for media devices.

Sleek style
For a room-friendly and unobtrusive appearance, this Philips TV has one of the narrowest bezels in its class, complete with a discreet matte black finish. Inset feet make it easy to place on a piece of furniture, or simply wall mount with an optional bracket, using the 300 x 300 VESA fittings

    I also posted this last night and it was deleted because the mods needed confirmation that it was available to buy which I’ve added in the description. (edited)

    What’s the refresh rate on this like? Would it be good with a ps5?
    FraserAubrey's avatar
    I have an older 50” version, it’s fine if you put it in game mode!

    how's the OS of this TV? I've a 6yo 50" ambilight and the setup/preferences suck big time.
    Paul_Biggs's avatar
    Sorry it's a bit late but I ended up getting this deal and taking mine back. FYI the OS was terrible - so laggy I would definitely have had to buy a smart device if I would have kept it. The upscaling was abysmal

    I have an ambilight 55 inch philips and can honestly say that i wish i didnt, problems are as follows firstly the tvs tv guide is good, when it works that is because i had continuous problems with it whem my harddrive was connected to the tv and multiple times had to re install the tv and the guide and everytime i did it had to wipe everything i recorded to watch at a later date.
    Other problems was with freeview not working and having to reinstall the tv get it back. Philips will not help with the tv guide problem as they claim its third party software and nothing to do with them even tho they have put it on the tv, cheap price for what you think your going to get for your money, and thats exactly how i was duped into getting mine, so think really hard if you want one and also check into customer reviews thoroughly before the purchase

    Thanks for your comment, I feel it's generalising somewhat when simply referencing 55inch Ambilight TVs and may not be reflective of this post. There are many 55inch Ambilight TVs sold under the Philips brand from budget sets to high spec OLED sets.

    What model did you have? When did you buy it?

    Best regards (edited)

    Annoying that the newer Philips TVs are not running Google TV. Last 2 TVs have been Philips and I love the Ambilight, but also come to love the Android/Google TV OS and the ease of sideloading APKs directly to the TV. Buying a TV without Google TV will almost definitely mean also buying a Shield TV or Fire TV Stick or something alike - at least for my use case.

    Looks a great price.
    How does this compare to the Hisense 65E7KQTUK for watching tv/film?
    thanks (edited)

    Only 2 year guarantee, I thought Richard sounds offer 5 years guarantee on all TVs!

    You have to join their VIP club. It's free.
  9. Paul_Biggs's avatar
    Thanks. I went for it. Joined the VIP club for an extra £10 off. I couldn't find many reviews for this exact model, lots seem to be for the 65PUS8007 not the 8008, which seemed to have fairly mixed reviews. Also I thought I'd have to collect in store but was offered free delivery. (edited)

    I am very tempted by this or should I wait till black Friday?
  11. duncanhh's avatar
    The only problem with these low end TV’s is the HDR. They use old 8 bit + 2 panels and not full 10 bit ones. Makes a massive difference in dark and bright scenes.
  12. btm's avatar
    Was just about to post this! Another £100 off, great price.
  13. MrAkagi's avatar
    Seems quite tempting, 65" with VRR at that price is quite good.
  14. KitKat23's avatar
    Tempting but the two year warranty has put me off. My last 55" Ambilight developed a halo effect in the middle of the screen after about 26 months. Very frustrating.
    Fastpotato's avatar
    If you join their free VIP club you get 5 years.
  15. hotukbeard's avatar
    I paid this for the 58PUS6505 4 years ago now, more than happy with it. Certainly would buy another Philips.

    Do all models remotes go through batteries like crazy? I've had to get rechargeable batteries but they last a week to 10 days, I don't use voice control or anything
    _hukdealer_'s avatar
    Doesn't sound right to me. If your batteries hold charge in other equipment well, I'd consider contacting CS.
  17. Wendy_Woo's avatar
    Can I connect this to my aerial or does it have to be via wifi?
  18. XtremeDJW's avatar
    I wish I had space for a 65.
  19. Krzysztof_Pick's avatar
    Is it worth spending extra £150 and get 65PUS8108?
    JaYy_dOg's avatar
    I was wondering the same thing. I think 6 year warranty instead of 2 years is worth the price difference. But im still waiting for black friday

    Shown as £599 now.
