The months of March and April are usually the ones that TV manufacturers normally choose to show and start selling their new ranges. Philips is one of them and among all your televisions for this 2021 The inclusion of more OED models stands out, the first with Mini LED technology and its main asset: Ambilight.
The new Philips Smart TVs for 2021
As with other manufacturers, the new range of Philips televisions for this 2021 offers proposals of all kinds. There are high-end screens that bet on OLED technology with the aim of offering the highest possible image quality. While there are also cheaper models with which to attract those who do not want to invest a lot, but who are looking for some differentiated elements such as the Ambilight system.
Undoubtedly, Ambilight it is and will continue to be for a long time one of the great claims of the manufacturer. And that today with LED strips and even with the Philips Hue Sync Box you can also have it on any screen.
However, this new range of Philips televisions for 2021 also come with other elements that add value. And we are not just referring to improvements in technical issues such as the type of panel, resolution, lighting system in LED-based solutions or the adoption of Mini LED technology. The continued commitment to Android TV as an operating system and the work with Bowers & Wilkins for audio issues in high-end models is a point that adds positively.
So, if you are interested in the brand's televisions, these are all the new models coming to the 2021 catalog.
Philips TVs with OLED technology
We start with televisions with OLED technology, which almost represent the best of the brand in terms of screens. Here we will find when models arrive in different screen diagonals and all with 4K resolution.
As Philips has already commented on occasion or other, although they may already have an 8K screen, it is not their intention to launch it until the market and the content are really ready.
Philips OLED 856
This is one of the highest-end models for this 2021, an OLED television and 4K resolution that offers support for high dynamic range content (HGL, HDR10, HDR10 + and Dolby Vision), HDMI 2.1 connection, Android TV and a processor of improved image.
With a design according to the type of television that is quite attractive and its base may be one of the elements that certain users like the most, although for stability it is not as optimal as two side legs that even allow the screen to be glued even more to the surface where it is placed.
- OLED panel with 4K resolution at 120 Hz
- Available in 55 and 65 inches
Philips OLED 806
This Philips OLED 806 is basically the same TV as before, a model with an OLED screen, 4K resolution, HDMI 2.1, Android TV and the rest of the features that are expected of a high-end model.
The difference is really in the design that can more or less convince depending on what type of user and their own personal preferences. Although if you are looking for an OLED screen with a smaller diagonal or even larger, it is the option.
- OLED panel with 4K 120 Hz resolution
- Available in 48, 55, 65 and 77 inches
Philips OLED 706
Moving on to more affordable ranges, we find the Philips OLED 706. This screen with 4K resolution and basically the same features as higher models are offered at a lower price so that those looking for OLED quality have alternatives.
- 4K 120Hz OLED panel
- Available in 55 and 65 inches
Philips OLED 705
The most economical proposal and has an explanation. Although some sections have been updated, basically on a technical level it is one of the OLED televisions from last year, so there are details that will not improve compared to the other current models.
Even so, it is the accessible way to have a screen with very good image quality and other extras such as the use of Android TV as the operating system for access to streaming platforms, etc.
- 4K OLED panel
- Available in 55 and 65 inches
Philips and its commitment to LED and Mini LED
If OLED technology is important for the brand, so are LED and the newly released Mini LED. With both they want to reach that audience that cannot opt ​​for an OLED proposal due to price or directly does not want to do so because of the type of use it will give the television. In the latter case, Mini LED technology is also focused, which provides advantages and a quality close to OLED.
Philips PML9506
With a panel available in two sizes and 4K resolution, the highlight of this mode is the use of Mini LED technology for all that is the panel's backlight system. Thus, together with Android TV, HDMI 2.1 and support for HDR images, it is postulated as a great alternative for those who are not interested in OLED technology for some reason.
- Mini LED panel with 4K resolution at 120 Hz
- Screens available in 65 and 75 inches
Phillips PUS9206
A step below by doing without this new Mini LED backlight technology, the Philips PSU 9206 is an interesting proposal with Ambilight as its main claim. In addition, the HDMI 2.1 connection, HDR support and Android TV.
- LED panel with 4K resolution at 120 Hz
- Available in 55 and 65 inches
Phillips PUS8506
It is possibly one of the models with the highest rotation in the catalogue, in part thanks to this greater variety in terms of screen sizes. The Philips PUS8506 is a screen that bets on different design options and that is why it is going to be known as The One.
- 4K LED technology
- Available in 43, 50, 58, 65, 70, and 75 inches
Philips PUS 7906
A range below is the Philips PUS 7906, a screen with a varied number of options in terms of panel diagonal and with 4K LCD technology. It is an interesting bet for price, for having Android TV and for the Ambiglith system.
- LCD panel 4K HDR
- Available in 43, 50, 55, 65, 70, and 75 inches
Philips PUS 7506
The most basic option of all the Philips proposals for this 2021 and with an important lack compared to the rest of the models: it no longer makes use of Android TV. It is true that it has applications that guarantee access to streaming applications, but losing the potential of Google's system for televisions makes it less attractive.
- LCD screen with 4K resolution
- Available in four screen sizes: 43, 50, 55 and 65 inches
Ambilight as a big claim
There is no doubt that is Ambilight the great claim of Philips and one of the aspects that contribute the most value to the user experience. It may not be essential for some yet, it really is not, but it is very enjoyable when the image around the television is perfectly synchronized in color and intensity with what is shown on the screen.
In addition, another of the advantages of Ambilight is that it helps with that feeling of having a higher contrast on the screen while not tiring the eyes so much when we look at the edges of it. Hence, the company continues to bet on it and, despite having similar alternatives or options through the use of other types of accompanying lights, nothing like the system that can then be synchronized with Philips Hue smart bulbs.
