For the rest, there is a 10-bit 120 Hz LCD panel, combined with a Direct LED Global Dimming backlighting system for a light peak of 500 nits. HDR Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR HLG compatibility is required. At the heart of these televisions beats the P5 Gen7 processor in its version specifically adapted to LCD technology.

Precision, in addition to the already mentioned DTS:X, a Dolby Atmos decoder is of course present.

Similarly, Philips PUS8808 TVs can act as the center channel in a multi-channel setup.

Philips PUS8808, Ambilight 3

The Philips PUS8808 series benefits from Ambilight 3 (active on the top, right and left sides of the screen), always able to adapt to the color of the back wall, and the Ambilight + Hue function (click to learn more about this great option!) to combine the Ambilight effect of the TV with the Philips Hue bulbs in the room, directly from the screen and no longer from a tablet or smartphone. Not to mention Ambilight Gaming Mode with extremely low latency, active with all games (via console/PC, Google Play, Cloud Gaming, etc.) to fully immerse the player in the action, and Ambilight Music (with Spotify for example ) to enjoy a nightclub atmosphere. Precision, this last mode can be active even when the TV is off. Finally, the new Ambilight Aurora gallery feature, rich in numerous embedded images and videos, allows as many exclusive artistic atmospheres in your living room.

Philips PUS8808, Smart Google TV 12.0

Always present, the UPnP multimedia gateway (DLNA) via the Ethernet port or Wi-Fi ac compatibility, and a Quad Core processor. These allow you to enjoy audio, video and music content stored on a Mac/PC computer or a Nas hard drive through the home network; to connect to the internet (the television then transforming into a computer monitor) via a USB keyboard and mouse; control the screen using a free iOS and Android app; finally, to program the recording on a USB key or an external hard drive of their favorite shows.

The Android 11 Smart TV function of the Philips PUS8807 TVs therefore gives way to Google TV 12.0 for more intuitive ergonomics. Content and applications are grouped together on a single page, navigation is smoother and faster and the customization of settings allows for an appropriate user experience. Of course, VP9 compatibility and the integrated ChromeCast functionality to view content from a smartphone/tablet on the big screen via a compatible application are still in order. Finally, Google Assistant is in the game with even the possibility of controlling various connected objects certified “Works with Google Assistant” (Philips Hue lamps, Nest thermostat, etc.). Similarly, it will be possible to directly access a specific series on Netflix or a video / music on Youtube, vocally. To access Google's voice assistant, simply press the dedicated button on the TV remote control and speak. The "Works with Alexa" certification requires the use of an Amazon Echo Dot type speaker.

Also integrated, the Miracast functionality (Wi-Fi Direct + mirroring to share on the TV screen the interface of a smartphone, tablet or PC). Likewise for HBBTV compatibility. MP3, WMA, AAC, Mpeg2, Mpeg4, WMV, VC-1, AVC/H.264 and Jpeg compatibility is ensured via, among other things, AVI and MKV containers. and Game Bar

The connectors of these TVs have two HDMI 2.1 inputs and two HDMI 2.0 compatible with eARC, VRR (from 48 Hz to 120 Hz as a reminder), ALLM and FreeSync Premium. Note also an extremely low Input Lag, 17 ms at 60 Hz and 11 ms at 120 Hz. In short, perfect features to satisfy video game enthusiasts. There is also an optical output, a headphone output with independent volume and two USB ports. For its part, connectivity is associated with Wi-Fi ac Dual Band compatibility and Bluetooth 5.0.

The Game Bar that appeared last year is still available on the PUS8808. This allows users to quickly access game-related settings, changing them on the fly without wasting time (see photos above and below).
