THE home cinema TV: 65 inch Philips OLED TV with Ambilight brings the cinema feeling into your home and is cheaper than ever

Last week we showed you a cheap and practical alternative to Philips’ popular Ambilight technology. With smart LEDs on the back of the television, Ambilight creates an incomparable lighting atmosphere and makes the image appear larger. While there are some retrofit alternatives, a Philips TV with built-in Ambilight is still the best solution.

High-end Ambilight TV for an attractive best price

Last Friday, MediaMarkt launched the latest mega sale: the Super Spar sale has exciting TV offers in the lineup. Including the Philips 65OLED837/12, which the 43 percent cheaper and therefore at the lowest price.

Beautiful and smart – the technology of the Philips OLED convinces

When it comes to image quality, the OLED 837 is in the top class and holds up well against main competition from LG and Sony. The image of the Philips TV is even brighter than many other OLED TVs and is therefore particularly suitable for living rooms with a lot of daylight. Only a few top models achieve a higher peak brightness, at a significantly higher price.

The HDR technologies Dolby Vision and HDR10+ further optimize the image by expanding the color spectrum and contrast. Unlike LG and Sony (Dolby Vision only) and Samsung (HDR10+ only), the Philips OLED supports both formats. This way you always get an excellent image, regardless of which streaming provider you enjoy your films or series with.

Philips also convinces in the field of Smart TV. The OLED 837 runs Android TV, which comes with a huge range of streaming apps. In addition, the remote control listens to Alexa and the Google Assistant. Only the nested menus are not an ideal solution – other manufacturers can do better.

In terms of sound, the Philips cuts a fine figure – not self-evident with integrated TV speakers. A built-in bass speaker on the back provides balanced and full bass, while the other speakers can achieve precise highs.

For best results, the sound should be individually adjusted using the sound adjustments. With a microphone in the remote control, you can analyze the room in which the television is located and have the sound settings adjusted automatically.
