The 9206 is armed with a 100Hz VA panel for wide viewing angles. It features Philips’ Micro Dimming Pro system, but we’d expect the performance is less impactful than the Mini LEDs. That’ll likely be true of the picture engine too, which loses the AI processing and the ability to upscale SDR images to HDR. The TV supports both HDMI VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and AMD FreeSync Premium (not Pro) but not Nvidia G-Sync although they claim to be working on adding this also. Keep in mind that VRR in the OLED 806 works on the 48 to 120Hz range which means any signal outside these numbers and the TV is not capable at enabling VRR at all. When the time comes for getting a new TV the big three, Samsung, LG and Sony that is, are the ones that come first in people’s preferences. But these are not the only ones and Philips is another company that may not be among the first choices but surely has created some very good performing models the last few years. Today in our Philips OLED 806 review we will be looking at the manufacturer’s latest mid-tier OLED offering which really managed to create some positive impressions when it was released in the second half of 2021. The new Fast Motion Clarity feature has only been announced for the OLED 800 series, but it serves to avoid the motion blurring effect for a gradual transition from one image to the next. Anti burn-in solution on more OLEDs Sitting below ‘The One’ is the 7906. The AmbiSleep/Sunrise feature where the TV can emit a warm glow and sounds in the morning/night is left out. The picture processor drops to the Pixel Plus Ultra HD, and motion interpolation is only available on the 70- and 75-inch models.
Information about the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. A higher resolution allows the display of a more detailed and of higher quality image. Philips’ first Mini LED TV is the 9635. Like the OLED+ series it gets an integrated 3.1.2 B&W Atmos sound system. DTS Play-Fi covers Hi-Res audio support and multi-room capabilities. The OLED807’s smart features are provided by Android TV - the 11th generation of Android TV to be precise. This version of Android TV is far superior to any previous version in its presentation, stability and features, displaying a much greater understanding of how to deliver an interface that’s suited to TVs rather than personal smart devices. It’s still a little dictatorial and low on customisation options, but at least it no longer feels like it was designed to actively put you off using it. The 5th Gen P5 AI engine powers the show and includes the Film Detection feature, as well as working with the set’s light sensor to tweak images depending on room brightness. In terms of gaming, this Mini LED is up to date with the latest trends and adds AMD’s FreeSync Premium Pro for reducing tearing and stutter. The Auto Game Mode should help reduce latency compared to the 2020 TVs. The pixel pitch shows the distance from the centers of two neighboring pixels. In displays, which have a native resolution (the TFT ones, for example), the pixel pitch depends on the resolution and the size of the screen.Anyone worried about the (decreasing) issue of screen burn with OLED TVs should note that the latest P5 processor includes an element that analyses 800 different zones of the picture in search of static image elements, subtly nudging down the brightness of any such elements it finds.
This is basically the same technology used for the first time in their last year’s OLED 935 and have now passed to their mid tier offering. This way the OLED 806 manages to maintain a brighter image even with static logos on screen without the risk of damaging the panel. This is a great technology and we surely would like to see a similar implementation being added to the other OLEDs from LG and Sony. It makes you work harder to get the best out of it than it should, but the effort is more than worth it. There’s not a better TV available at its price. Another great feature of the 55OLED806 is its support for all four of the key high dynamic range (HDR) formats: HDR10, HLG, HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. In fact, the 55OLED806 even includes the HDR10+ Adaptive or Dolby Vision IQ extensions of the so-called active HDR formats, whereby they can adjust their workings to suit different ambient light levels. Some of the Philips 55OLED806’s connections There’s greater dynamics and punch to the Philips’s sound, and a crispness and clarity that ensures you miss little. The Sony A8’s actuator arrangement ensures that audio and video are better spatially linked, but the OLED805 sounds better than most. Verdict The 43- to 65-inch models get a T-bar stand for support, with the sizes up to 58-inches getting swivel action. The biggest models in the range switch to feet at either side that can adjusted to narrow or wide configurations.A quad-core ARM Cortex-A73 with 3 GB of RAM and the Mali G52 GPU are responsible for handling all things about the UI and this is probably the reason for such a smooth experience we had.
Great Deal
