The Philips 65PUS8601/12 has got us really excited about the potential of the company's upcoming 2016 TV models, even though the absence of local dimming and readily available HDR support prevented the display from squeezing into the top tier of 4K Ultra...
Good detail and strong contrast, Customisable sound, HDR update to come,
Lacks subtle colour and black detail, Menus are difficult to use,
Philips has put together a mightily attractive package for your £2500, with an outstanding picture and intuitive sound system.It falls just shy of its class-leading rival in terms of colour subtlety and black detail, and ease of use is still an issue, but...
Complicated to use, Contrast isn't the best, Android interface is unhelpful, HDR still months away
The design of the 55PUS8601 is a delight, especially thanks to its four-sided version of Philips' Ambilight technology and ultra-slim detachable speakers. Picture performance is mostly very good, and excellent in the case of native 4K content. The experie...

If you want a 4K TV to stand-out from the crowd then Amblight is one surefire way to do it, especially if you can wall-mount it. Plus the Philips PUS8601 does a grand job at looking elegant even when it's switched off, and it always sounds great too...
Natural and detailed images, Good colour accuracy, Attractive design, Great build quality, Excellent sound, Decent input lag, Plenty of features
Limited colour space, No 3D support, Inconsistent gamma, Calibration controls ineffective, Remote over-sensitive
In many respects the Philips 55PUS8601 is a great flat-screen Ultra HD LED LCD TV, with a lovely design, solid build quality and superior sound thanks to detachable speakers. There are plenty of connections and features, along with Hex Core processing and...
Second, in a detached configuration sound coming from the speakers can appear slightly dislocated from the pictures on the TV screen. This problem could be remedied by angling each speaker inward towards your seating position, but then the soundstage won'...

Dank Ausstattung und Funktionsumfang setzt der Panasonic TX-L65WT600 sich auf den ersten Platz in der 4K-Bestenliste. Noch einen Tick bessere Bildqualität bietet aber der Sony KD-55X8505: 4K-Material wirkt wie gedruckt, HD-Filme rechnet der Sony...
Der Ton der Philips-eigenen Lautsprecher verdient allein schon wegen der hörbar breiten Stereo-Bühne ein Lob. Je nach Raumakustik, der Positionierung des TVs und dem eigenen Gehör sollte man sich seine Lieblings-Klangeinstellung im Tonmenü einrichten...

Philips läutet mit dem 55 PUS 8601 erfolgreich seine neue TV-Generation ein. Lob verdienen die hohe Leuchtkraft, die nachrüstbare HDR-Fähigkeit und das faszinierende Vier-Seiten-Ambilight. Die kühle Farbabstimmung und das Restlicht in schwarzen Bildberei...

Ambilight, Guter Sound, Fernbedienung mit Tastatur
Mäßige Blickwinkelstabilität, Kein 3D, Kein HDR
Die abnehmbaren Lautsprecher sind das auffälligste Merkmal im Test des Philips 55PUS8601, denn diese können Sie auf Standfüße montieren, um den Klang nochmals zu verbessern. Die Bildqualität ist gut, jedoch sind die Blickwinkel aufgrund des VA-Panels ver...
