Philips Ambilight OLED804 from 1099 euros – up to 18 percent discount

Testers praise the sharp picture, the cinema mode and the good sound for a television. Philips relies on the so-called Ambilight for its TV sets. Some love it, others don’t like it. Ambilight is room lighting developed by Philips. It throws the colors of the TV picture onto the wall behind and to the side – which then glow green during a soccer game, for example. A nice effect that literally sucks you into the television picture.
The Philips Ambilight OLED804 also has a lot to offer technically. It supports 4K, HDR10 + and voice control via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It also runs with Android TV as a system and thus offers numerous apps for installation.

In terms of connections, the LG NANO 867NA has four HDMI inputs and three USB ports, but also an analog input, e.g. for older consoles. It also supports Bluetooth 5.0 LE and WLAN ac, Apple’s AirPlay 2 and USB playback. TV programs can be recorded, but only those that the user is watching. Because there is no second tuner.

Tips for buying a television
Anyone who wants to buy a new television is usually faced with a few questions. How big should it be, what is the best surface to access Netflix and the like and does it have to be an OLED TV?
The optimal size for the smart TV
When choosing a new television, buyers often intuitively choose the larger models. There is a guideline for the perfect screen diagonal. A smart TV shouldn’t be too big, because then you may have problems viewing the picture. If there are about two meters between the sofa and the TV, you should opt for a small TV with a screen diagonal of up to 49 inches. If, on the other hand, the seat spacing is around three meters, you can confidently choose the popular size of 50 to 65 inches. In even larger rooms at a greater distance from the sofa, there is also space for the large smart TVs from 65 inches.
LCD or OLED?
OLED televisions are often significantly more expensive than models with an LCD screen. This is due to the screen technology used. LCD TVs are usually built very flat and are therefore ideal for hanging on the wall. They are also considered to be quite durable. The disadvantage: the backlight is usually attached to the edge and is large. For this reason, individual pixels are also illuminated when they should actually remain dark. As a result, black likes to look a bit gray, the contrasts are less pronounced.
Not so with OLEDs . Here each pixel is illuminated individually. If it is switched off, it appears deeply sharp, which is how the high contrasts and rich colors come about. In the past, some users were afraid that the picture could burn in if they stood for a long time. Modern OLED TVs have been improved in such a way that this no longer happens.
The QLED technology from Samsung is a kind of intermediate. This is actually an LCD panel with extensive backlighting. However, Samsung uses a second layer with so-called quantum dots, which act as a light and color booster. This creates the high contrasts and rich colors that are reminiscent of OLEDs.
It should be 4K
Meanwhile, 4K / UHD televisions predominate on the market. They have a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels. Their price has dropped significantly, so that it is hardly worthwhile to use a television with Full HD resolution. However, buyers do not have to resort to the slowly emerging 8K resolution. There is still far too little content for this and such high-definition televisions are simply too expensive.
A smart TV should also have all the necessary connections. Therefore, check carefully which devices you want to connect before buying.
