The Ultimate Immersive Experience
Only Philips combines the two most immersive TV technologies of 2017. Here’s why
OLED is the stuff of televisual legend. Why? Because it works in a fundamentally different way to every other TV technology out there. And because of that, it’s better.
LCD and LED TVS require a backlight in order to create an image bright enough to watch across the room. With OLED, the pixels that make up the TV image create their own light, so no backlight is required – which means when one of them is off, it’s black. Not greyish, not ‘hey, that’s pretty dark’ – completely black.
Better blacks means better picture performance. Colours pop as contrast ratios spiral up towards infinity. No backlight also means less bulk, so OLED screens can be incredibly slim – often just millimetres thick.
Philips has taken the latest OLED technology and elevated it even further. Its two razor-thin OLED models, the 901F and 9002, both support HDR (High Dynamic Range) video, which means with the right content their brightness and colour performance is more realistic and lifelike than ever. Both feature the latest picture-processing technologies, and both offer Google’s Android TV OS, all wrapped up in a premium European steel and glass design. But the jewel in their crown is undoubtedly Ambilight.
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Philips’ dimension Ambilightto your technologyviewing by adds shining anotherlight from LEDS along the back edges of the TV on to the wall behind it. These lights replicate what you’re seeing on-screen in real time, creating a wash of colour that expands far beyond the TV’S bezel. It’s designed to add atmosphere to the on-screen action, inviting you into the viewing experience and making the screen appear larger than it really is. Only Philips TVS offer Ambilight, and in the 901F and 9002, the technology is combined with OLED to create a TV experience like no other. Vivid colour, both on the screen and beyond it: it’s a whole new definition of immersion.
