With this OLED TV, Philips is eyeing gamers thanks to reduced display delay and HDMI 2.1 connectivity. However, it does not forget the cinephile public and delivers an irreproachable image quality.
With its 55OLED856, Philips delivers an almost perfect television that only misses the fifth star because of its somewhat set back audio system. The image quality is excellent, whether in SDR or HDR. This year, Philips has particularly worked on reducing display lag and integrating HDMI 2.1, which make this television a versatile model that is suitable for both film and TV series enthusiasts and video game enthusiasts. . For originality, the Ambilight system remains just as impressive and above all exclusive to Philips models.

NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
The Samsung Neo Qled QE55QN95A — the 55-inch (140 cm) version of the Samsung QE65QN95A we tested — is an excellent LCD TV. The use of a Mini-Led backlighting system makes it possible to obtain a very high peak of luminosity without causing an explosion in consumption and while limiting the effect of blooming (bright halo around bright objects). The icing on the cake, the image quality is simply perfect. If we add to that the new remote control with its small solar panel and the One Connect box, it’s almost faultless for this first Samsung Ultra HD Mini-Led TV.
