Philips TV QLED 4K Ambilight 55PQS8631/12 55 inches

The 55-inch (139 cm) Philips 55PQS8631 TV combines 4K QLED technology with the unique immersion of Ambilight. Its LEDs built into three sides project a halo of coloured light that changes in real time with the scene, extending the picture beyond the screen. Films, sport, music videos and video games plunge you into the heart of the action. With AmbiScape, the experience extends to the whole room by synchronising your smart bulbs with what is happening on screen.

The 3840 x 2160 4K Ultra HD panel benefits from Quantum Dot colours for brilliant images and exceptionally sharp scenes. The P5 Perfect Picture Engine processor refines every image: deeper details, vivid colours, natural skin tones and smooth motion. Compatible with HDR10+, HDR10 and HLG, this TV adapts to your various HDR formats, whether you are streaming a film or watching from an external source. Micro Dimming technology optimises contrast, and Calman AutoCal calibration is supported for the most demanding viewers.

On the sound side, the IntelliSound engine uses artificial intelligence to automatically adjust settings according to the content, whether it is a film, a series, music or a news programme. You can also choose preset sound styles or customise the sound yourself. Compatible with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, the TV delivers 20 W of power through its two 10 W full-range speakers, with voice enhancement and night mode.

The Titan operating system gives quick access to your favourite content and the main streaming apps, subject to availability. The TV works with Google Home, is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Apple Home, and integrates into your smart home network thanks to Matter compatibility. With the microphone-equipped remote, a simple voice command is all it takes to control your devices. The all-in-one remote also controls your soundbar, headphones and Philips external set-top boxes.

For gaming, the HDMI 2.1 features VRR and ALLM ensure a smooth and responsive experience, complemented by Game Bar 2.0 and a dedicated Ambilight mode. Connectivity includes 3 HDMI inputs, one of which supports eARC, 2 USB ports, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, a network port, a digital audio output, a headphone output and a DVB-T/T2/C/S/S2 tuner.

Its ultra-slim design with a matte black frame rests on satin chrome V-shaped feet. Without the stand, it measures 122.6 x 70.5 x 5.5 cm and weighs 12.31 kg, and it is compatible with VESA 300 x 300 wall mounting. Designed according to European eco-design principles, it comes with a remote made from recycled plastic, FSC-certified packaging and manuals printed on recycled paper, while Eco mode and the light sensor reduce energy consumption.
