10 best Philips TVs
The Philips concern was founded in 1891 by Gerard Philips. The company was engaged in the production of electric lamps, and already in 1925 it was engaged in the production of televisions. Now the brand is known all over the world for its home appliances, as well as equipment for medical centers.
Philips TVs are incredibly popular with customers. Among the huge assortment, it is easy to find not only compact models, but also huge TVs with a curved screen. The technique is distinguished by its wide functionality, modern design and affordable prices. We've ranked the best Philips TVs based on customer reviews and reviews, as well as the opinions of our warranty service specialists.
The best Philips TVs up to 32 ''
Small models are most often purchased for the kitchen or summer cottage. The cost of a TV depends primarily on the size of the screen, so this category of equipment belongs to the budget option. But despite the price, small TVs have a set of all the basic functions and parameters necessary for a modern person. The rating contains reviews of the three best compact Philips TVs.
3 Philips 24PHS4022
Let's open the category of the most modest and smallest Philips TV. The diagonal of the baby is only 23.6 inches (60 cm) - many computer monitors are even larger. Nevertheless, due to its small dimensions (56x34x12cm), the 24PHS4022 is perfect for an equally small kitchen - you can hang it almost anywhere without getting in the way. Hang it, because the stand is rigidly fixed to the body, which is why the display always looks up a little - you won't be able to put it on the refrigerator!
On the technical side, nothing outstanding, but the characteristics are decent. The resolution is only 1366x768 pixels, but enough for such a small diagonal. IPS matrix - viewing angles are close to maximum. From a pleasant note, we note the support of all television standards (including digital satellite TV) and the presence of a simple media player that can play videos or photos from a flash drive. Supports video recording to USB storage.
Of the minuses - an extremely mediocre sound. In reviews, users compare the quality with the sound of a smartphone.
2 Philips 32PHS4012
The silver medalist differs little from the previous participant in the technical part. The main difference is the large diagonal. But the display, which has grown to 31.5 inches (80 cm), has not changed in quality - the resolution is 1366x768 pixels. Television standards, media support, and other features are similar. Major usability changes.
First of all, we note a more comfortable stand - it is still impossible to adjust it, but at least the TV does not look into the sky with it. There are also AV-in, HDMI and USB on the side, where they are much easier to reach. There is support for MHL, with which you can display content from a smartphone or tablet.
The main difference is in the sound quality. The 32-inch model is equipped with two speakers with a total power of 16 W (versus 6 W for the previous participant). The sound is much cleaner and louder. There is even an imitation of surround sound. The acoustics are still not perfect, but enough for on-air television.
1 Philips 32PHS5813
The category leader does not visually stand out from the competitors. The frames are thick enough, the footboards are fixed - no design delights, only functionality and practicality. The port selection is also familiar. The only thing that attracts attention is the RJ45 connector for connecting to the Network. Yes, we have a TV with SmartTV in front of us. And yes, he's not perfect. There may be slight slowdowns or not always well thought out menu, but in general there is nothing to complain about - the built-in operating system performs its function.
Unfortunately, the picture quality is mediocre due to the low screen resolution - 1366x768 pixels are located at 32 inches. However, judging by the reviews, there are no complaints about color rendering, brightness and other characteristics.32PHS5813 supports all current digital, analog and satellite TV standards. Two stereo speakers with a total power of 16 watts are responsible for the sound. The volume is more than enough even for a large room. Of the pleasant features, it is worth noting the presence of a light sensor, with which the TV can adjust the brightness itself.
The best Philips TVs 40-43 inches
Philips TVs with a diagonal of 40 to 43 inches will appeal to those who do not want to overpay for technology, but are looking for a model with more features. The category provides reviews on the best devices according to the opinion of buyers and specialists.
4 Philips 43PFS4012
We open the category, it would seem, by the already familiar Philips TV. By design, it is almost a complete copy of Philips 32PHS4012. Is that the diagonal is much larger. Our hero has a 42.5-inch (108 cm) display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. Pixel density is roughly comparable to TVs in the previous category. There are no complaints about the quality - the picture is not ideal, but to watch films from an external medium or, moreover, on-air TV is enough. There is no need to worry about the support of certain standards - the TV can receive DVB-T, DVB-C and DVB-S signals.
The TV can also be used as a monitor for a PC, game console, etc. There is AV-input, audio x2, component, VGA, HDMI x3 (one of which is on the side surface for easy access) and USB. It also supports displaying images from gadgets via MHL. The sound is not bad - two speakers with a total power of 16 watts are used. There is a technology that simulates surround sound.
3 Philips 43PFS5034
Televisions have long evolved from a simple TV viewing tool to a full-fledged interior element. That is why I want its appearance to please not only when it is on. Philips 43PFS5034 does it quite well. The thinnest bezels on the sides and top, stylish minimalistic stripe on the bottom with an asymmetrically positioned logo. Yes, you can find fault with unpretentious footpegs and a utilitarian back surface, but this problem is solved by hanging it from the wall through a VESA mount with a size of 200x100 mm.
The diagonal, like all other TVs in the category, is 43 inches. FullHD resolution. Brightness of 280 cd / m2 and contrast of 5000: 1 is enough for a dim room and undemanding user. The sound is already familiar - two speakers of 8 W each. There is support for Dolby Digital. From the connectors there are only a couple of USB, HDMI x2, AV, coaxial output and 3.5 mm for connecting headphones. The model is perfect for working in conjunction with a "smart" TV-box.
2 Philips 43PFS5302
The lowest-cost Philips TV with Smart TV wins the virtual silver medal. Moreover, the 43PFS5302 model is the owner of the best price not only in the Philips TV line, but in the market as a whole. What do we get for a modest 22.5 thousand rubles? First of all, a 42.5-inch (108 cm) IPS display with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 pixels. The picture quality is excellent. Secondly, the Smart TV system. We have already described its features in the company's TVs: there are few applications, but all the most necessary ones are there; programs run for a long time, but when using "brakes" is not noticed. In general, not ideal, but you will not experience any inconvenience when using it. The only caveat is that it is inconvenient to use the browser. But the problem is solved by connecting the mouse and keyboard. Fortunately, there are enough USB connectors.
With the rest of the parameters, everything is also fine. All TV standards are supported, there is DLNA and all the necessary connectors (albeit not in excess), support for image enhancers and a light sensor for adjusting the brightness.
1 Philips 43PUS6503
The leader of the rating is the most technologically advanced TV in the category. For starters, about design - minimalism at its finest. No protruding elements, thin frames and the simplest non-adjustable footrests. The matrix is great. Pleases the resolution - 4K UltraHD on a diagonal of 42.5 inches. HDR10 standard is supported. Maximum brightness 350 cd / m2, which does not allow full HDR content. But in comparison with competitors, the picture is still head and shoulders above.
Of course, the TV is "smart". Saphi TV, already familiar from previous models, is used as an operating system. The advantages and disadvantages have already been mentioned. It remains only to note that the operating speed of this model is noticeably higher - using Smart functions is much more comfortable. In addition, there is Bluetooth, thanks to which you can connect a keyboard to the TV without taking up the USB port - this advice was shared by users in the reviews. Sound quality is good. The speaker system includes two speakers of 10 W each.
The best Philips TVs from 49 inches
Large diagonal TVs have a high resolution, and therefore a wide viewing angle. Despite their size, all Philips models are ultra-thin. Of course, the functionality of such a technique is much more diverse than that of small models. Below are three of the best Philips TVs from 49 inches.
3 Philips 55PUT6162
The third place in the rating is taken by the Philips TV with a diagonal of 55 inches. The 4K UHD screen is equipped with uniform LED backlighting, so the image is as clear and vivid as possible. The black ultra-thin case with stable legs gives the device a spectacular and stylish appearance, so the model will be an excellent complement to the modern design.
Smart TV and built-in Wi-Fi allow you to enjoy all the advantages of modern digital television in high quality. The TV does not freeze even when using multiple applications. With Time Shift, the user can always record the required video to a USB flash drive. And the presence of three USB-connectors allows you to continue saving the recording, even if the capacity on the memory card is exceeded, when with one output you have to remove and insert a new flash card.
Of the minuses, we note only the absence of Bluetooth and DVB-S - mandatory attributes of a device of this level. But there is WiDi support for transferring images from other devices wirelessly.
2 Philips 65PUS6704
The 65PUS6704 can be safely called the most progressive Philips TV at the time of this writing. Attention is immediately drawn to the large dimensions of the device - a diagonal of 64.5 ″ (164 cm!). Consider several times if you can place it in your room. The resolution is, of course, 4K UltraHD. HDR10 + is supported, which makes the picture more contrasting and "deep". Also, do not forget about Ambilight - a proprietary backlight that visually expands the already considerable screen beyond its limits, enhancing the viewing experience.
A pair of 10 W speakers is responsible for the sound. The sound is good, but you want more - we advise you to take a closer look at home theater systems. There is SmartTV. The operating system is Philips' own development. Users have a number of complaints about it, but in general it is quite comfortable to use.
The model is perfect for watching full-length films, and for TV series in an online cinema, and for comfortable playing.
1 Philips 50PUS7303
We will give the leadership in the segment of TVs with a diagonal of 49 inches to not the largest, but perfectly balanced model. The design can be called classic. A uniform narrow frame on all sides, a stylish minimalistic stand - the design elements are beautiful and at the same time do not draw attention to themselves. The 50-inch display sports 4K UltraHD resolution. The manufacturer claims support for HDR, but due to the relatively low brightness (at the peak of 272 nits), the picture is not very different from the usual one. But one cannot but praise the proprietary Ambilight lighting - judging by the reviews, this is one of the key parameters when choosing in favor of Philips.
Soundtrack is provided by a pair of speakers with a total power of 20 watts. The quality is not bad, but bass is often lacking. Android TV 8.0 is used as the SmartTV platform. Together with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of permanent memory, it is convenient to use. We also note a convenient remote control with a QWERTY-keyboard on the rear surface.
