Philips Ambilight PUS8108 43 inch Smart 4K LED TV | UHD & HDR10+ | 60Hz | P5 Perfect Picture Engine | SAPHI | Dolby Atmos | 20W Speakers | Google Assistant & Alexa Compatible [Energy Class F]

This TV has genuinely exceeded my expectations—it's a fantastic piece of tech. One of the standout features for me is the Ambilight technology. It adds an incredible immersive touch, especially in my RGB-themed gaming room, syncing beautifully with the overall aesthetic and creating a more engaging atmosphere while gaming or watching content.Even when used as a PC monitor, this TV performs exceptionally well. Despite running at 4K 60Hz, the image quality is crisp, the colors are vibrant, and the overall experience is smooth and satisfying. For general use and gaming, it's more than adequate.What excites me even more is the potential for future upgradability to 4K at 120Hz via HDMI 2.1. Knowing that the hardware supports this kind of performance down the line is really reassuring—especially for anyone planning to pair it with next-gen consoles or high-end PCs. It adds a layer of future-proofing that makes this TV an even smarter investment.As for the built-in apps, I haven’t paid much attention to them since I primarily use external devices or a PC, but I assume they function well enough for most users. Since I haven’t encountered any issues or faults so far, I’m completely satisfied with this purchase.Overall, this TV is an excellent addition to any gaming or entertainment setup. Highly recommended. 👍

This is my first review on Amazon and feel like writing one. So after researching for upgrade on tv, in this price range, I eventually went for this Philips tv with Dolby Atmos and Vision with ambilight.I didn’t want to spend too much on a Oled tv but wanted to have Dolby etc. let me just say it’s very good tv, the sound from it alone is good, that good I had soundbar and sold it on. Yes a tv with good sound. Ok not real basey but enough for me. Once all setting for vision and sound set up, the vision side of it is good yes even black is black if set up right. Hooked up to a 4k stream box currently Apple TV box, it very sharp picture. Do,some test vids on you tube with 4k hdr and see what mean. I don’t use the tv apps or any thing else as tvs smart apps can be but slow to respond with remote so don’t use that and same on other tvs as well.The ambilight is brilliant one main reason went for this tv as some thing different to experience instead of generic tv. So it works with what ever watching and scene. For example if dark scene on screen and some shines a light and moves around so does the led lights at back of tv move in accordance to where light shines on screen ie left or upper left then the led lights light up in that area adding some immersion and experience which I enjoyed. I first thought might be gimmick but it’s enjoyable.So overall great tv from good brand and the features = happyValue = 9/10Sound =7/10Visual =9/10User experience = 8/9Connectivity =8/10Overall immersive experience = 9/10

I've had this tv just over a year, and it's time to write a full on review.I got it because it was well priced for a large screen, and I thought the ambilight would be cool. Which is definitely is. When you watch a show or movie, it paints the wall behind the screen with light, so it feels like the action is spilling out.Unfortunately, that's about all that's good about it.It runs android, like many smart TV's but is slow as tar rolling uphill. The apps frequently crash or not respond at all. There seems to be only a tiny amount of space, so updating the software is sometimes limited to having to delete apps.I don't even have any obscure apps, it's basic things like Netflix or Amazon Prime. Disney + didn't work at all. It just lagged and the screen froze all the time (and yes, my internet connection is fine).On a few instances the TV has stopped responding altogether and I've had to uninstall latest updates to go back to factory settings, or do that on individual apps for it to work again.Also, it randomly turns off every now and then, for no reason at all.Terribly disappointed, won't ever buy a Phillips TV again.

I bought the model 65PUS8109/12.My first week with this TV has been amazing.The ambient lights make a huge difference, it’s unbelievable nice watching movies with this feature on.The OS is faster than my previous TV Samsung 2021, doesn’t crash or get stuck, so having read reviews complaining about the new Philips OS performance, I wouldn’t agree with them, however as people's expectations aren’t all the same, I can understand their point of view, as it’s not very very fast, but still far better than my previous Samsung 2021 TV.The images quality is very good compared to how much I spent (£599 of offer).The sound is great and intense.I just found a little scratch on the front, which was coming from the factory, as there was the film protection on top, but it didn’t bother me too much.One thing a noticed on the Amazon advert is that the controller doesn’t have the Disney+ button, as one of the images shows, so check the Philips website to see the actual controller this TV has.I can’t say anything about longevity of this TV, I’ll update my review if anything of relevance comes out.

Being always used to buy Samsung, I decided to give this one a try because of the Ambilight. What can I say, the tv is pretty decent, specially considering the price range. Image is sharp and sound is just as expected, nothing out of the ordinary. Ambilight although is not necessary, I have found a great extra to have for inmersion. Black is not quite as dark as with the OLED but that is expected as well. Software is not so good, unresponsive or slow response sometimes, all menus are quite slow including the volume control. It has frustrated me several times. Connection with google home is good and a nice extra as well. All around, good choice, I mostly use it for Netflix, Disney plus and a little gaming. It works well for me, but of course it depends on how important the software is for you.
