About this deal

Most of Philips' 2022 OLED and MiniLED TVs feature a new and improved four-sided Ambilight system that promises "increased colour detail and accuracy for a totally immersive viewing experience". Value for money: LG slightly increased its prices this year and, given the marginal upgrades for the C3, that seemed like a bad deal next to the C2. The C3 has been heavily discounted, though, and is now exceptional value for what is really a very premium TV. As ever with an OLED TV, every pixel in the OLED807’s screen can produce its own light, delivering massive local contrast benefits over even the best LCD TVs. The OLED panel in the OLED807, though, builds on this by being one of the latest so-called OLED EX displays, meaning that it has the potential to produce as much as 30% more brightness than many previous OLED TVs. It's a big deal in these days where HDR video is so widely available.

So punchy is this extra localised intensity that we’d almost say you haven’t seen a starfield or fairground at night until you’ve seen it in HDR on an OLED807. This serves as a perfect reminder, too, of the fact that true HDR is as much about the depths of the dark end of the light spectrum as it is about extended brightness. DTS Play-Fi rear speaker with AmbilightFor some time, Sony OLED TVs have offered a function to let the userPhilips has launched a new gallery function this year called Aurora. It is an app containing various wallpapers – both static and moving wallpapers – combined with Ambilight mood lighting. At launch, it is not possible to use your own photos but the company is looking into possibly enabling it, they told us earlier this year but stressed that they cannot promise anything. Aurora is not a screensaver or "off function" meaning that you must enable it manually unlike the gallery function found in Samsung The Frame and 2022 LG OLED TVs. It is instead more similar to the gallery function you find in slightly older LG TVs or Samsung "QLED" LCD models. Rising energy costs in Europe may make Aurora seem less attractive at this time and compared to Samsung's version in The Frame Aurora it seems less polished. Information about the maximum horizontal viewing angle, within which the image on the screen is of acceptable quality. Philips created 'The One' TV in 2019, pitching it as a mid-range model for mainstream TV buyers who want a decent, future-proof set at an affordable price.

There's also IMAX Enhanced compatibility now, alongside HDR10+ and Dolby Vision support, which can help you get the most of the movies released in the bigger IMAX format, which are just starting to appear (including on some movies on Disney+). This television contains lead only in certain parts or components where no technology alternatives exist in accordance with existing exemption clauses under the RoHS Directive. Details are still thin on the ground, but we look forward to testing the system later in the year. Any improvement on this already-excellent feature is surely welcome. Android TV 11 and DTS Play-Fi How big it is: Size really does matter with TVs. Are you looking for a cinema-like experience in your lounge? Then you need to get the biggest OLED TV you can afford. If your budget is limited, it might even be worth sacrificing a little bit of picture quality and some next-gen features for a few extra inches of screen real estate.

HDR Results

The storage altitude shows the maximum possible altitude for secure storing of the display. Storing it above this limit may result in damaging the display. The OLED807 retains Philips’ long-running reputation for sharpness, too. Its pictures look emphatically 4K with the set’s Ultra Resolution feature in play – and this feature now seems to cause no significant unwanted side effects, so we see no reason not to use it (we recommended avoiding it in the past). The OLED807’s extra brightness also brings out more shadow detail in dark areas than we got with the OLED806, and HD sources are upscaled with more sharpness and detail than you get from most rivals. The storage temperature shows the range from a minimum to a maximum temperature, within which storing of the display is considered to be safe.
