Philips PUS8555 review 2020

The Philips PUS8555 (PUS8505) is a 2020 high-mid-range TV. This 4K resolution TV has significant differences, both in design and image, between the different screen sizes available. The panel is 10-bit direct LED but VA in 50 and 70 inches and IPS in the rest of the available sizes? The Smart platform is Android, which is doing well but is a step behind Samsung and LG. The connectors are fine, but like almost all 2020 TVs it doesn't include HDMI 2.1. The design includes the 3-sided Ambilight that some love and others may be a bit annoying.

• The Best: Attractive design with Ambilight
• The worst: Possible movement problems, Doesn't include HDMI 2.1

Our Veredict Philips PUS8555:

Our opinion on the Philips PUS8555 is quite good as it combines price and performance with a stylish design. It has similar specifications to other LED TVs in the same price range with good compatibility, a good Android TV operating system, the Google Assistant, full HDR support and the P5 image processor that offers bright and bright images allowing better HDR content. The audio is not up to the image, if you are looking for sound quality we recommend buying an external audio bar or looking for the higher model Philips PUS9435.
