True to its simplification strategy, Philips is updating its best-selling model with the PQS9001 series. Still branded "The One," this 2026 version significantly ups the ante with the adoption of QD (Quantum Dot) LCD panels, the upgrade to Dolby Vision 2 HDR, and a giant 100-inch screen size.
The Philips PQS9001 series comprises seven models: the Philips 43PQS9001 (43", 109 cm), Philips 50PQS9001 (50", 127 cm), Philips 55PQS9001 (55", 140 cm), Philips 65PQS9001 (65", 165 cm), Philips 75PQS9001 (75", 191 cm), Philips 85PQS9001 (85", 216 cm), and Philips 100PQS9001 (100", 254 cm). The One concept remains unchanged: to offer a complete, high-performing, and affordable television without requiring the user to decipher complex technical specifications. However, under the hood of the new Philips PQS9001, the technology takes a leap forward. The One Philips PQS9001 TV: QD WCG panel and 144 Hz. The major innovation of this model year lies in the use of a QD WCG (Quantum Dot Wide Color Gamut) LCD panel. This technology significantly expands the color gamut while offering increased brightness. Natively clocked at 144 Hz, the series ensures exemplary fluidity for sports and movies. The One Philips PQS9001 TV: P5 Gen 7 processor and Dolby Vision 2. To orchestrate everything, Philips integrates the seventh generation of its P5 processor. While OLED series benefit from the Gen 10 version, this P5 Gen 7 already offers top-notch image processing, notably with the implementation of the new Dolby Vision 2 HDR standard (see our IFA 25 news > Dolby Vision 2 HDR, everything you need to know about this new quality standard!). The processing adapts more precisely to the room's brightness to bring out details in blacks and enhance highlights without distorting the original image. The Philips PQS9001 The One TV: Gaming Capabilities, HDMI 2.1 and DLG 240 Hz. The manufacturer hasn't forgotten gamers. Thanks to the new MediaTek Pentonic 800 chipset, the PQS9001 series now offers four HDMI 2.1 ports with extended bandwidth. In addition to supporting HDR10+ Gaming and FreeSync Premium, the TV introduces the DLG (Dual Line Gate) function. This allows for a 240Hz refresh rate (except on the 43" model), ideal for optimal responsiveness on consoles and PCs. Philips The One PQS9001 TV: Intellisound audio and refined design. Philips has also undergone a dramatic slimming down. By using more compact speakers, the maximum chassis depth has shrunk from 79.9mm to just 53mm. The sound system, powered by the Intellisound engine, varies depending on the screen size: 20W (2.0) on the 43", 40W (4.0) on the 50", 55", and 65" models, and 50W (2.1) on the 75", 85", and 100" models. Philips The One PQS9001 TV: Design and Smart TV. In terms of looks, The One 2026 TV series boasts an ultra-thin 8.7mm bezel and a very elegant Gun Metal finish. The smaller sizes benefit from "floating" feet, while the XXL versions (75" to 100") rest on reinforced metal feet. The Titan OS platform includes Netflix, HBO Max, YouTube, Prime Video, and Disney+ (Apple TV is expected this spring). Philips' DNA is clearly present with three-sided Ambilight, now enhanced with the AmbiScape feature. As a reminder, this technology allows you to synchronize the TV with up to four third-party light sources in the room (smart lamps from different brands) to extend the visual ambiance far beyond the screen (see our Philips AmbiScape news article: switch to Ambilight for total immersion). Also worth noting is the compatibility with AirPlay 2, Google Assistant, and Works with Alexa for seamless Smart Home integration. Availability is planned in several stages: the 43" to 75" models first, followed by the 85" versions and the impressive 100" model. Pricing is still unknown.
