We were already fans of Ambilight, so we bought it again. Beautiful screen colors.

Crystal clear like you've never seen before

Crystal clear image
Easy to connect to other devices
The TV is super light in weight
The remote control takes some figuring out how it works

The Philips Ambilight PUS8500 QLED 4K is very user-friendly to install and the TV is already equipped with the best settings. It has rich colors thanks to the 'Crystal Clear' mode. Black is truly black, and green is greener than green. I tried various films, programs, and apps to compare this. A Blu-ray movie is truly clear in picture and sound, and even clips I'd never been able to see clearly before are clearly visible. It's easy to connect to media boxes and a home theater system. Be careful when using the remote control. It takes some getting used to at first. There are no numbers on the remote control; they appear when you press the '123' button. The remote control also illuminates when you use it. The three-way Ambilight can be adjusted to your preference. Personally, I think the cinema version is the best.
