Pros and cons

According to our television expert

Thanks to the QLED technology, the screen is bright and colorful.
Thanks to the 3-sided Ambilight, the wall becomes the same color as the on-screen action.
Via the Titan OS smart platform, you have access to the most popular apps and streaming services.
Due to the 50Hz refresh rate, fast actions don't always look smooth on the screen.

Description

With the Philips Ambilight 43 inches PUS8500 QLED 4K (2025), you can watch sharp and colorful images. This TV has a 4K resolution. That way, you see more details of your favorite TV programs, movies, and series. The tiny Quantum Dots behind the screen work as a color filter and make your viewing experience more realistic. Thanks to this QLED technology, you see every shade of green in an open field and the TV is brighter. The 43PUS8500 has 3-sided Ambilight, so the wall behind the TV becomes the same color as the screen. This lighting is comfortable for your eyes and makes your viewing experience more realistic. Thanks to the wall lighting, the TV seems larger than it actually is. Via the Titan OS smart platform, you can stream all your favorite movies and series. You have access to popular apps like Netflix and YouTube.

It's a bummer that apps can't be downloaded

Nice clear image
Ambilight
do not download apps

Nice TV, only extremely disappointing that no apps can be downloaded because this TV runs on the Linux platform.
