French Days – The Philips 55OLED936 “5-star” TV at €1,799.00 (-22%)

The Philips 55OLED936 TV uses the excellent Oled panel, the fourth generation Philips P5 processor and the four-sided Ambilight system of the Philips 55OLE806. It is also equipped with a much more efficient audio system signed Bowers & Wilkins.

The Philips 55OLED936 is an excellent television. It offers a perfectly calibrated image, a high peak of brightness which translates into very good dynamics in HDR and has HDMI 2.1 for perfect compatibility with the latest generation game consoles. To top it all off, it features an audio system worthy of the name and the Ambilight ambient lighting system, which still has its little effect. This TV is suitable for movie buffs and TV series fans as well as video game enthusiasts.

Alternatively

The LG 55C2 – 55-inch (140 cm) version of the LG 65C2 that we tested – remains one of the benchmarks on the television market, offering a perfectly calibrated image and a very high quality HDR experience. LG even offers itself the luxury of reducing the consumption of its Oled TV and improving the system’s responsiveness while increasing functionality. On the video processing side, LG no longer has much to prove, both in terms of upscaling and motion compensation. If we add to this an undisguised ease in video games, the LG 55C2 television is a model of versatility that is suitable for everyone: from movie buffs to video game enthusiasts through sports or documentary enthusiasts. It’s hard to be disappointed with the LG C2.
