In testing, this works very well – we try out a Dolby Atmos test disc and the bright white intensity of the Dolby logo in the corner of the screen is dropped to a level that won’t tire the pixels so rapidly.

The other picture tech of note is an anti-burn-in logo detection feature, which recognises permanent screen logos, such as those of TV networks, and dampens their effect.

Last, but not least, is a boost for the Philips Perfect Natural Reality processing which aims to boost standard-def material so it looks more like Full HD. The big one is AI Machine Learn Sharpness, a local level picture sharpening tool that enhances the textures and patterns of specific parts of the image, rather than applying a blanket tightening up across the whole display.Īnother is AI Smart Bit Enhanced 2.0, which should remove colour banding without sacrificing detail. In terms of picture technology, the OLED935 gets one or two bumps over the soundbar-less OLED805 thanks to the improved Philips P5 processor with its AI dual picture engine. You’re better covered for sport, though, with BT Sport and Now TV both on board. Instead, your pay-as-you-go film and TV options are Rakuten and Google Play Movies & TV, neither of which is up there with the Apple TV app. For that, you’ll need to add an Amazon Fire TV Stick, Apple TV or other media streamer.
REVIEW FILM 5CM ANDROID
There’s no Apple TV or Apple Music on Android TV. During testing, we experienced a little bit of crackling through the speakers when using the Netflix app, but restarting the app sorted that out. All the UK catch-up services are present, along with Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. The benefit of the Android OS is its app offering. Other manufacturers such as Samsung and LG are slicker and more progressive on this front and while it’s just about acceptable here, we’d expect to see the company up its game on this front before it falls too far behind the promised UI advances from Google TV and LG’s webOS 6.0. Much like the Android 9.0 operating system itself, all the right options are there but they're not presented in a particularly wonderful, intuitive or user-friendly fashion. Featuresįunctionally, the remote is the same as we’ve had from Philips over the last few years. If that sounds like an appealing level of attention to detail, you’ll also be pleased with the remote control, which is backed in Muirhead leather and feels very much the part for a premium OLED TV. It’s mounted to the TV with a stiff metal plate. Made from glass fibre-reinforced polycarbonate ABS, the enclosure is braced with internal rib sections to control resonance.

There’s a micromesh to protect those drivers on the upper surface and Philips’s acoustically transparent wool blend cloth, Kvadrat, across the front of the array. The tweeters are decoupled from the main enclosure, with the centre one in a metal case of its own in B&W’s tweeter-on-top style. Also along that top edge are the two 5cm height speakers facing upwards for that Dolby Atmos effect.

There are two 5cm midrange cones plus a 19mm titanium-dome tweeter for the centre channel, one of the same cones and tweeters each for the left and right, and then a single racetrack-style 10cm x 6.5cm subwoofer unit on the top surface, ported to the rear. The soundbar houses ten separate drive units.
Next-gen HDMI features are thin on the ground, though: there's no support for (also known as HFR), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) or eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel), although standard ARC and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) do feature.Īs well as the HDMIs there’s an optical audio-out, ports for connecting headphones and an external subwoofer, plus two USB slots. On the back of the panel, you’ll find four HDMI sockets. There’s little to no bezel, just an even 2mm metal bead around the edge of the glass. The stand needs a surface that’s at least 88cm wide and 26cm deep to accommodate it and if you choose to use the bracket, it stands 15cm proud of the wall. Fortunately, the wafer-thin OLED panel is nice and light. The stand and bracket are pretty heavy and highly polished, so take care they don’t slip out of your grasp when you’re putting this together. The cable tidying system means that the join between the soundbar and the TV itself is seamless, leaving only your HDMI cables and power lines to tuck neatly away behind. It comes with a choice of two different chrome brackets in the box, one for wall-mounting and the other to use as a stand. The Philips 65OLED935 is a classy looking set.
