It’s no one’s idea of a bargain, but nevertheless the 55OLED907 will be money well spent for even mild telly addicts. For once, here’s a TV with audio quality that truly matches its image quality – and be in no doubt, the image quality available here is very impressive indeed. The Ambilight illuminations are as slick as ever too. Resign yourself to a long stint sorting out the initial setup (as is always the way with Philips) and you’ll never look back.

TIPS & TRICKS

Google Assistant wakes with a press of the remote; Alexa users can use a linked smart speaker. The picture menus are extensive, but well worth a visit to rein in the motion control and noise reduction. Only two of the HDMI ports are at

2.1 standard, so check before plugging in your games console.

Sony XR-55A95K £2199 / go.stuff.tv/a95k

Samsung developed QD-OLED to address the one shortcoming of OLED – a relative lack of brightness – yet it’s Sony that leads the pack now. This QD-OLED set doesn’t come cheap, but its performance makes the price look fair enough. In every respect – colour balance, motion control, detail – it performs impeccably. It’s a brilliantly naturalistic and lifelike watch, with the deep, varied black tones that are one of the real OLED trademarks.

Philips 55OLED807 £1399 / go.stuff.tv/oled807

Despite its affordability, the 55OLED807 is a nicely designed, well turned-out television that shows no signs of having been built down to a price. Most importantly of all, it offers great picture quality in almost every circumstance, while the four-sided Ambilight integrated into the rear works an absolute treat – whatever you’re watching looks larger and more immersive, and eye-strain is reduced too. The only thing we don’t like is Philips’ obsession with over-complicated setup menus. Stuff says ★★★★★

This is Philips throwing the mid-range OLED gauntlet down
