Pros and cons

According to our television expert

With this TV and soundbar, you can create a real home cinema with realistic images and a powerful sound.
Thanks to the OLED screen of this TV, you can view images with a high contrast and true-to-life colors.
The deep bass of the subwoofer provides a room-filling sound.
If you place the TV and soundbar on a TV cabinet, the soundbar blocks a small part of the screen.

Description

With the Philips 55OLED705 - Ambilight (2021) and Philips TAB7305 Soundbar + HDMI Cable, you can enjoy your very own home cinema with realistic images and a powerful sound. The screen of this 4K OLED television consists of pixels that light up or produce colors individually. As a result, black parts of the screen are truly black and you watch images with a strong contrast. The TV also has HDR support, so you can see subtle color tones in things like shadows or the sea. At the same time, the smart P5 processor improves the image you're watching with a database of other images. This way, you can watch your favorite movie in even more detail. Finally, Ambilight provides an extra atmospheric viewing experience. This technology lights up the wall behind the TV in the colors of the images you're watching. With the Philips TAB7305, you experience a 2.1 sound setup. That means you can enjoy a deep bass and a stereo sound by placing the speakers to your left and right. Combined with the Philips TV, this allows you to create a real home cinema with a room-filling sound. If you connect the soundbar to the TV via the included HDMI cable, you can operate the soundbar with your TV remote.

Richly equipped OLED TV with top image and sound; recommende

Image is razor sharp and black is deep black
Sound is fine and can be set to your own taste with equalizer
Ambilight enhances the viewing experience, especially with the Vivid profile
All connections are there, but not with the latest standards (no HDMI 2.1 or Bluetooth 4.1); can be a deal breaker for some buyers

After previous good experiences with the Philips 55OLED804 from 2019, I can say that this model is also downright great! In fact, the only reason why this device was put in the Philips 700 line is probably because it had to make way for the 805 with expensive-sounding AI technology. I doubt whether the image could be much better, what a sensation! Razor-sharp lines, smooth transitions, high contrast, perfect colors and everything can be set to your own taste. The sound is fine in my opinion. Not tinny and can be adjusted to your own taste with the equalizer in the menu. I don't agree with reviews that say there's too little bass in it. The ratio between low and high is well balanced. If you want a cinema experience with bass that you feel in your stomach, then a separate amplifier is recommended (or a cinema ticket).

Initially I had gone for a cheaper Philips 43PUS8835 LED TV, but it soon became clear to me that LED TV, at least at Philips, is an afterthought. Poor viewing angles and dark spots in the corners, moderate contrast; simply disappointing and for me the confirmation that LED is mainly marketed as 'the cheap alternative'. That unit was returned the next day. Even with the competing brands, I didn't see anything striking, unless you spent 2-3x as much money for QLED or NanoCell or Full Array. But why should I pay 800-1200 euros for an LED TV when I can buy an OLED for EUR 999? Ultimately a no-brainer for me that I don't regret for a second.

Because this device should have been released in 2020, it may not have the very latest Android version or HDMI and Bluetooth standards, but I think you buy a lot of value for money. And oh well, even those very latest standards will be obsolete next year. Are you still in doubt between LED or OLED? Then spend a little more money and choose OLED, even if it is not specifically this device. If you're even a little critical of image and sound, you won't regret it.

Great value for money but not suitable for every situation

beautiful image
Fairly cheap for OLED
Ambilight
No room for soundbar

Prior to I've had the TV for 2 days now, so I can only give my first impressions. In addition, I have little comparison material and I cannot really substantiate the whole technically. So this is not a good review if you want to know what the peak brightness, color deviation and input lag is.

unboxing I bought the TV as a second chance at coolblue. There may have been things missing without my noticing. The TV comes in a gigantic box, until you realize that the TV is just big (I had a 42" TV). Next to the TV there is a manual and remote control in the box. No cables or other accessories.

design The design can be described as minimalist. The bezels are quite thin and the TV stands on 2 thin metal feet. I was afraid beforehand that the TV would not be very stable, but this turns out to be no problem and the TV is firmly in place.

There are 2 drawbacks here. If the TV is on its feet, there is no room to place a soundbar. I can barely stick my fingers under the TV. You can solve this by hanging the TV on the wall, but you will notice that the TV has no ambilight at the bottom.

Connections This is one of the areas where more expensive TVs stand out and this TV is not completely up to date. For example, the HDMI ports are only version 2.0b and you have to do without 4k@120Hz. For the (console) gamer a considerable disadvantage and for others a great place to economize.

I think the amount of connections is fine: Including 4 HDMI, 3 USB, a network port and a slot for your CI+ module. On the side are 3 HDMI, 2 USB and 1 headphone port. At the bottom is 1 HDMI, 1 USB, 1 COAX, 1 SAT, 1 Optical out and 1 network port. It may be that the power plug is on the other side and points backwards. If you place the TV on a piece of furniture, this will not be a problem, but when you hang it up, this creates extra space between the wall and TV.

to install As soon as you turn on the TV for the first time, a short installation wizard starts. The whole thing runs on Android TV and is, at least for me as an Android user, easy and user-friendly. It's 2021 so things like setting up the network connection go smoothly. Because I have a CI+ module in combination with. Ziggo use, the channels also had to be picked up. Click next 2x and 10 seconds later all channels were set. It can't get much easier.

Image What's the first thing you do after your new TV is plugged in? Correct! Set up a nature documentary and admire the image quality. For this I started Our Planet (4K and Dolby Vision/HDR) in Netflix. By default, the colors were set rather 'neon': green was exaggerated green, blue exaggerated blue and gray quickly turned black. I myself prefer more natural colors and luckily that can all be set in dozens of settings

There are sometimes some artifacts in the image, probably due to the smoothing I set to medium. Of course, just like other video and audio 'optimisations', this can be turned off.

The brightness is good enough for me (have it set to 70%) but it's not terribly bright. My living room is quite bright and as soon as the sun shines on the TV you see that it reflects enormously. If you have something like curtains or blinds (most will have this), that shouldn't be a problem. However, do not expect to be blinded by the TV, but because of the good contrast you do not have to stare at the TV in dark scenes. Just fine.

Sound With my previous TV I used a 5.1 set with 1.5 meter high columns. As expected, the sound can't match that and especially the low tones are missing. It also sounds fine and clear. Separate speakers are recommended if you like to watch action movies. The built-in speakers are fine for documentaries or for bridging purposes.

Ambilight Besides the price, ambilight is the main reason for me to buy this TV. The TV stands in front of a dark green wall and in the evening the contrast between the wall and the TV is therefore extra large. The ambilight lighting is fairly subtle, not a "Gamer RGB disco", but it does make it easier on the eyes. If you already have a well-lit wall, I don't think it adds much.

Speed I don't mind the speed with which you navigate between channels and apps. Previously I used a Xiaomi Mi Box from 2016 and this TV is about as fast. Not fast compared to a new phone, but not so slow as to be frustrating. I use a CI+ module from Ziggo and zapping between channels is also fine.

Conclusion For €999 a very good TV. Do you want to hang up the TV, place a soundbar in front of it or play games with 120FPS? Then this is not the best choice. Do you want a good and affordable OLED TV to watch series and movies? Then I would definitely consider this TV.
