Exterior design of the Philips 55OLED706 / 12

Philips 55OLED706 / 12 design

We are given a good design that stands out mainly for its Ambilight technology

Before delving into its functions as a television, we want to talk a little about the design presented by the Philips 55OLED706 , which we find really acceptable, since it has colorful details that allow us to know that we are in front of a premium television. First, we must consider that it comes in a size of 55 inches .

Which is great for medium rooms or rooms that don’t have a lot of space for a larger model. It presents a chassis in Dark Chrome color that allows it to look with a greater presence no matter the location that is given. Likewise, the front gives us thin bezels that will generate an incredible elegance .

Another advantage of a slim frame is that the screen will have a larger usable space that will be perfect for enjoying fuller images. This is accompanied by the fabulous Ambilight technology that offers LED lights on the sides of the TV , which will change their color depending on the content we are viewing.

Connectivity

We cannot complain about the connectivity offered, since you have the essential connectors for a great experience. Here we have four HDMI inputs that are vital to connect other devices to the TV and send their signal. The interesting thing is that one of them is version 2.1 which turns out to be more efficient. Likewise, we have three USB ports and one that is 3.0 for greater speed. At the wireless level we have Wi-Fi , Bluetooth and DLNA .

Image quality and general functions of the Philips 55OLED706

It is clear that the most outstanding thing about the Philips 55OLED706 / 12 is its image, which gives us a 4K resolution, which contains four times more power than that seen in Full HD, therefore, now the details will be more visible and will have a greater realism . As if that were not enough, various technologies have been included that will improve the experience to the maximum.

Before talking about these functions we want to mention that the most powerful thing in this section will be the OLED panel that integrates this television, which gives us one of the best backlights that we can obtain today , that is, no matter what the environment is very dark or bright an impressive quality is maintained.

Only with this, the experience will be of the first level, however, as we already mentioned, different technologies have also been integrated that will provide a contribution superior to what we already have. First of all, we have ISF Color that tries to give us natural colors that are later reproduced in a more vivid and intense way.

To improve contrast, there is Micro Dimming Perfect that reproduces it more clearly so that it can be seen in greater depth. To improve the brightness we have a Light Sensor that we love because it does its job depending on the environment where the television is located. Perfect Natural Motion gives us quite fluid movements.

Sound

We will receive an acceptable audio quality for what a high-end television offers. First, we have two speakers that give us a total power of 20W. It is true that this might seem little, however, a 30W subwoofer is also offered, so, in theory we will have 50W. In addition, some quite important enhancement technologies are added such as AI Sound , Clear Dialogue , Dolby Atmos and Night Mode .

We are going to enjoy great functions through your Android TV system

We cannot forget that the Philips 55OLED706 offers us the latest version of the Android system, therefore, we are going to enjoy better optimization, which is always of high value for a better experience . As if that were not enough, it is a really intuitive platform that puts everything at hand, so anyone can use it.

By having the Play Store we will receive more than 5,000 applications to install on the TV, yes, not all of them are functional. Obviously we have the most popular options like Netflix , Prime Video , Disney + , Rakuten TV and YouTube . We also have voice assistants that are very useful such as Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.

So we will be able to control different functions in a simpler way, now let’s talk about how good this model is for gaming, and that is because it has AMD FreeSync Premium that allows us to enjoy more fluid games without practically anything of lag. Lastly, there is support for HLG , HDR10 , HDR10 +, and Dolby Vision .
