An excellent image performance and a wallet-friendly price make the 55OLED808 the OLED TV to beat in the competitive mid-range market. Building on the success of the brand’s previous 8 series models, this new set showcases improvements to Philips’ P5 processing engine, Ambilight system, user interface and more. It’s a sublime performer with 4K HDR content, benefiting from superior light control and contrast, plus skilful tone-mapping, while HD material is effectively upscaled. As expected from a Philips screen, there’s a wealth of picture adjustments on offer to tune the 55OLED808’s images, plus well-judged presets for ease of use. Google TV smarts, HDMI 2.1 connectivity and a punchy integrated sound system complete a winning proposition.
