​Philips 901F OLED 4K TV
T3 Magazine|May 2017

The First 4K Flatscreen To Combine Oled Panel Technology With Ambilight Is A Solid Gold Wow.

​Philips 901F OLED 4K TV

Philips is the latest TV manufacturer to join the world of OLED. Its 55-inch 9000 series 901F (or 55POS901F/12 if you want to be formal) joins OLED offerings from Panasonic, Sony and LG at the highend of the 4K UHD panel market.

What sets this screen apart from those models is Ambilight, Philips mood-lighting technology. We’ve long been enthusiastic admirers of Ambilight, in all its various guises, but here partnered with OLED, it really has unique appeal.

DESIGN AND FEATURES

Build quality is gorgeous. The 901F boasts an ultra-thin chrome bezel and shiny feet; the rear panel is an elegant gloss grey with a hairline finish. Inputs hide behind a neat pop-off panel.

All four HDMI inputs support 4K HDCP 2.2 sources. You’ll need this for next-gen set-top boxes, UHD Blu-ray players or media streamers.

There’s also a trio of USBs (one suitable for time shifting onto a USB hard drive), a digital optical audio output, headphone jack and Ethernet. The TV supports dual-band Wi-Fi.

Two remote controls are in the box. One is a standard IR unit, while the other a Bluetooth remote with built-in microphone and QWERTY keypad on the rear.

The Ambilight implementation is three-sided, casting a familiar halo around the set. You can set it to follow video, reflecting onscreen hues with great washes of colour, or have it follow music, colours pulsating in rhythm.
