Product Information

When it comes to TVs, there are many brands to choose from. The Philips 50PUS8507/12 competes with brands like Samsung, LG, and Sony. While each brand has strengths, the Philips 50PUS8507/12 offers excellent value for money and a range of features. Value for Money

Bluetooth is a great feature for a smart TV, as it allows you to connect wireless audio devices; like speakers, headphones, hearing aids, or other peripheral devices like keyboards. Can I pair my phone to my smart TV?

The ergonomics of the PUS8506 are in keeping with the 2020 PUS8545 – similar type of stand and similar silver bezel that frames the screen. The bezel is slimmer than the PUS8545’s, which not only gives more acreage to the screen but looks better. The stand is different too, not so Mad Max shiny and chrome, but still up to a standard that asserts the PUS8506’s premium aspirations. Some models also offer additional features, such as Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio connections, and smartphone and tablet connections.

The Philips 50PUS8507/12 50-Inch 4K LED TV is an excellent choice for gamers, thanks to its fast 60Hz refresh rate and low input lag. This means games feel responsive and smooth, with minimal lag or stuttering. The TV also supports AMD FreeSync technology, which helps to reduce screen tearing and stuttering. Viewing AngleThe PUS8506’s interface is a combination of Philips’ and Android TV 10. Throw in Freeview Play and all the UK catch-up apps are catered for. While Sony has graduated from Android to the new Google TV interface, it seems Philips is taking a wait-and-see approach. Smart TVs of all sizes will transform your viewing experience, but what size is right for you will depend on your living space. A 50-inch TV ( wall-mounted or not) will look best from a distance of around 2.5 – 3.5 metres. Any closer and you risk the image looking pixelated, further away and you’ll miss the details. Don’t worry if this means you have to consider a more compact 32-inch TV or larger 65-inch screen option – we’ve rounded up the best of those for you elsewhere. Content is arranged in customisable carousels, with your list of apps along the top and then “channels” for each app underneath it, such as Netflix or Prime Video. In these carousels you’ll find suggested content for you to dive into straight from the home screen. I’m not convinced the recommendations are as personalised to your viewing habits as you’ll find on something like Samsung’s interface, but that’s really our only niggle. The Philips 50PUS8507/12 comes with a two-year warranty covering any defects in materials or workmanship. This warranty ensures that you can enjoy your TV without worrying about any issues that may arise. VS Other Brands
