With Philips Ambilight, movies and games feel
m
ore immersive. Music gets a light show. And
your screen will feel bigger than it is. Intelligent
LEDs around the edges of the TV cast onscreen colours onto the walls and into the
room, in real time. You get perfectly tuned
ambient lighting. And one more reason to love
your TV.
Wide Colour Gamut
Wide Colour Gamut increases the standard
colo
ur gamut from 72% to 90%–99%, resulting
in more vivid and brilliant colours. The
greenest green, the bluest blue and the reddest
red, the expanded colour reproduction
abilities of a 4K Ultra HD TV are closer than
ever to what we see in a digital cinema.
IPS Nano Color
From movie night to the big match or gaming,
IPS Nano
Color technology delivers vibrant
colour and a wide viewing angle. Uniform,
nanometre-sized particles absorb any excess
light created by the screen. Reds stay red,
green grass looks green, and blue is always
blue. Even if you're facing the TV at an angle of
up to 60 degrees.
P5 Perfect Picture Engine
The Philips P5 Perfect Picture Engine delivers
an
image as brilliant as the content you love.
Details have noticeably more depth. Colours
are vivid, while skin tones look natural.
Contrast is so crisp you'll feel every detail. And
motion is so smooth that you'll never lose sight
of the ball, no matter how fast the play.
High Dynamic Range Premium
High Dynamic Range Premium is a new video
standar
d. It redefines in-home entertainment
through advances in our application of contrast
and colour. Enjoy a sensory experience that
captures the original richness and liveliness, yet
accurately reflects the director's intent. The
end result? Highlights with excellent
brightness, richer contrast and colour and vivid
details like you've never seen before.
TV Content
Go beyond traditional TV programming with
G
oogle Play Store and Philips App Gallery.
Experience endless movies, TV, music, apps
and games online. More to love.
Google Assistant built in

voice. Wan
