You can set up Ambilight as simple bias lighting if you want. There are quite a lot of options for what you want it to do, one of which is just having it display a static colour (the brightness can also be adjusted). It's the best solution there is for providing some bias lighting to make blacks look deeper in a dark room. It's not going to perform miracles on a budget LCD, but I was generally pretty impressed when I had the 2017 model of this TV (which was essentially identical).

Honestly, the picture is going to be better displaying SDR. The TV has no local dimming whatsoever and no wide colour gamut, which means you're essentially losing any and all benefit of HDR, since the TV just isn't capable of producing specular highlights or 'deep' colour. These sort of TVs try to fake some sort of HDR effect by cranking up the brightness and colour saturation, but they just don't have the hardware inside to do it any kind of justice. If you're shopping in this price range, I'd just consider what you're getting as a TV that will display an excellent SDR image and forget that it's even capable of parsing an HDR signal. If you want any sort of real HDR effect, stepping up to a TV with even basic column-based local dimming and a wide colour gamut is a requirement. (edited)

Wish my tv was broken

My two kids can help you with that!

Paid £480, 8 months ago for this model and dont have one single regret, the amb is amazing. the picture is top notch, it does show some reds more orangish then other 4K Tvs in comparison side by side but dont let that put u off as its just slight colour thing, Game mode is excellent for the Xbox One, the speakers are very decent for an LED, the software which runs is fine as the internet option works a treat, nothing fancy as for apps, works netflix excellent though,

At that price point you will not get a descent TV for proper movie viewing

To be honest, this is nonsense. I totally accept that this is clearly your personal view but then you make it into a broad statement that people looking for a new TV will actually read and potentially act upon. I feel it belittles those who can’t afford what you regard as appropriate. At least if you entered the discussion with some meaningful alternatives or reasoning then it would have some actual value. What is ‘proper movie viewing’. You are saying that in order to watch a movie ‘properly’ you need to buy something a lot more expensive? Like what? And that is before you even start on the other things you need to watch a movie ‘properly’ such as a THX certified Atmos setup (because I am sure you have one of these), BluRay HD (because streaming 4K sucks doesn’t it) a comfy chair and popcorn at just the right temperature etc...

The truth is this is a TV that is a good deal and has been reasonably well reviewed. It represents good value for money and at its current discount, is a hot deal (or not if you think the TV is trash).

Happy Easter.

I would say this is hot

This is just an Amazon price match! from the still live Ebay deals hotukdeals.com/dea…980 nice tv

Love the ambilight effect but my screen has ghosting, artefacts and a defect whereby during sweeping motion on light screens there are patches on the screen visibly differently lit to others. Very little support from Philips. The software is pretty slow and VERY buggy for catch up apps but I've figured out a tedious workaround that works most of the time.

I bought the android version in hopes of sending the other back but it was dire. Terrible to use with no catch up download options at all. "Sideloading" the catchup apps ended up with portrait 4od app and the sideloaded app to rotate it only worked ocassionally. Ended up sending back the android one and now just put up with the original.

Also why can’t you wall mount ?

Ambilight feature is grand! I thought it might be a bit of a gimmick but it works very well.

I love ambilight TVs. I've had mine 2.5 years and the light really makes a difference.

Is the 4:3 aspect ratio not an issue? Thought 16:9 was a must?

The TV is 16:9. 4:3 ratio hasn't been used on TV's for years.

Will Richer Sounds do any sort of price match with this?

The 50inch version has a slight better panal I've been told then the 55, I was told when I got mine, but have no regrets on the 55, the ambi colour extends what's on the screen colour so it helps with your eyes, Mrs use to get headaches with our old led and this one has helped her. Also my autisic son loves it.

Why is this deal so hot for a 10% saving?

Why is this deal so hot for a 10% saving?

Because 10% of £449 is not an insignificant saving! It's a bloody good deal! I wish I'd got mine for this price from Richer Sounds (edited)

It's a shame when Amazon copy a genuine deal and get lots more heat (and orders).

Anyone had any luck with Richersounds price matching ?
thanks

I have a Phillips ambilght tv and it’s been immense. The picture is more crisp than walkers. Honestly, you won’t regret buying one of these

Richer sounds wouldn’t match because of the warranty, you were right, but knocked it down a bit to £425, so we decided to go for that as my husband wanted the 6 years, gets delivered Wednesday x

Really good use of a TV. Makes my idea of putting on in the hall way for watching while i put my shoes on seem a bit frivolous.

Heat added.

How does this compare with the LG SK8500? Got that reserved for collection tomorrow but unsure if this would be just as good for £300 less

I've always been curious about this too. Is the ambilight basically useless if the TV isn't wall mounted or not in a corner?

Funny how Amazon copy the 10% off the Phillips TVs posted from eBay deals the last few days! Better late than never

Anyone know how this tv compares with other TVs on the market for this price range? Are there any better TVs for under £400?
