Philips 55PUS7657 55 " (8718863034699)

If you're looking for an economical option for a large screen TV, the Philips 55PUS7657 is worth a look, which offers a number of attractive features.

Large 4K panel

The TV is equipped with a 55-inch 4K screen, providing a wide color range and natural color reproduction. There are some compromises to be made when it comes to HDR content, however: although the device supports HDR10 and Dolby Vision, its maximum brightness is limited to around 300 nits, which doesn't allow for full HDR capabilities.

Stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos

The picture is complemented by sound from stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos support. Despite clear sound and good speech intelligibility, the TV's acoustics are limited in the high and low frequencies. If necessary, you can connect an external soundbar or audio system via optical output or HDMI with eARC. The TV has a total of three HDMI ports that support VRR and ALLM, which will be of interest to console players.

Smart system SAPHI

The TV uses its own smart system SAPHI, developed based on Linux. The system is fast and stable, although the number of compatible applications is less than with more common systems such as Android TV, Tizen or webOS. However, the Philips 55PUS7657 remains an attractive TV option in its price range.
