Philips 55PUS6262 is a TV in the middle price segment. Its price is about 49 thousand rubles. For this amount, a full-fledged multimedia center with a 4K screen resolution is offered. The highlight of the device is the use of Ambilight technology, but is it worth paying more for it? After analyzing the market, I chose 2 TV models that, in my opinion, can compete with the Philips 55PUS6262. It is cheaper Samsung UE55NU7300U and Xiaomi Mi TV 4 55, which costs a thousand rubles more. Which of these three I prefer, you will find out at the end of the review, but for now, in detail about all the characteristics.
This model participates in ranking of the best Smart TV TVs.
Screen
The Philips 55PUS6262 screen is a 55-inch LED matrix with 4K Ultra HD resolution and anti-glare coating. The aspect ratio is 16: 9. Brightness - 350 cd / m22... Pixel Plus HD, Micro Dimming image enhancement technologies are used. Ambilight technology, patented by the company back in 2004, creates dynamically changing or static background lighting on both sides of the TV. Subjectively, it affects the quality perception of the device design, rather than the image quality of the matrix. There are no complaints about the matrix itself: it produces stunningly bright colors, perfect black, although it has LED backlighting - after all, the technologies for improving the picture quality work perfectly.
If we talk about competitors, then they have something to show. Have Samsung UE55NU7300U the matrix is curved, which creates an immersive effect when viewed, and Xiaomi Mi TV 4 55 - a representative of inexpensive frameless TVs. In both cases, the picture is juicy and in no way inferior to the one produced by Philips 55PUS6262. It is difficult to draw conclusions about the advantages of any model, it is rather a matter of taste: someone likes Ambilight, someone loves curved displays, and someone loves to immerse themselves in the boundless image space without frames.
Appearance
Philips 55PUS6262 is made in a classic black color from medium quality plastic. The set includes a stand, also made of plastic. Wall mountable (VESA 300 × 200). At first glance, it is unremarkable. But here Ambilight technology enters the arena, with which the manufacturer kills two birds with one stone - raises the TV to a qualitatively new level in terms of design evaluation and creates a subjective effect of image improvement. I would argue about its effect on image quality, but the fact that a TV with it looks more expensive is a fact. Pleasantly deceptive feeling that in front of you is a top-end TV for only 49 thousand rubles.
The design features of competitors are the quality of the matrix. Here everyone chooses for himself. In my subjective opinion, this round has a slight advantage for Samsung UE55NU7300U, and Philips 55PUS6262 is a bit simpler, it is saved by Ambilight.
Connectors
Philips 55PUS6262 is equipped with the following connectors: antenna, IEC75, satellite box connector, CI + common interface, digital audio signal output (optical), Ethernet-LAN RJ-45, audio input - left / right, headphone output, HDMI (3 pcs.), USB (x2) component input (YPbPr). Supports wireless protocols: Wi-Fi 802.11n 2 × 2, Wi-Fi Direct, Wi-Fi Miracast. The set is decent, but I would like to see Bluetooth on the TV for 49 thousand rubles. But competitors do not have it either, but Samsung UE55NU7300U also lacks a headphone output.
Sound
Philips 55PUS6262 has 2 built-in speakers with a total power of 20 watts. Incredible Surround, Clear Sound, Auto Volume Control, Smart Sound function are used. The Philips 55PUS6262 sound really great.At a certain moment, the illusion is created that the sound is pouring not from the built-in speakers, but from the space around, an immersive effect is created. Philips 55PUS6262 beats the competition when it is planned to be used as a home theater.
Functions
Philips 55PUS6262 has built-in DVB-T / T2 / T2-HD / C / S / S2 receivers, allowing you to enjoy watching your favorite TV channels without additional equipment. The presence of all modern connectors makes it possible to connect third-party equipment, external storage media to the TV. You can watch videos in the highest 4K resolution, photos from your family archive, listen to your favorite music, play games, view content on the Internet, record videos on a USB flash drive. All these functions are based on the Philips proprietary operating system. Installed by default: online video stores, internet browser, Social TV, TV on demand, Youtube. There are functions: teletext, TV guide, parental control, off timer.
I can't say that the operating system from Philips is bad, but for me, like most users of "smart" TVs, Android TV is closer and more familiar to me - a familiar interface, regular updates, a wider selection of applications. It's a matter of habit. Works smartly, without any special lags. If this topic is very important, it is worth overpaying a thousand rubles and buying Xiaomi Mi TV 4 55... It is also interesting in the ability to control voice from a smartphone.
Benefits
- Proprietary image and sound enhancement technologies;
- Ambilight lighting technology;
- universal remote control.
disadvantages
- Doesn't read legacy DTS and AC-3 audio codecs;
- does not play mp4;
- small selection of both built-in and third-party applications;
- there is no possibility of control from a smartphone;
- sometimes freezes while surfing the Internet and playing high-definition video.
Verdict
Philips 55PUS6262 cannot be called ideal, it has significant drawbacks, but for a TV set for 49 thousand rubles it is good already because it has built-in technologies to improve the quality of the image and sound, giving an excellent result.
Overpay 1 thousand for Xiaomi Mi TV 4 55 you can and should: for 50 thousand you will get a full-fledged Smart TV based on Android.
Purchase Samsung UE55NU7300U also justified, given its curved screen zest.
As a result, I cannot name the best of the 3 presented models - everything is subjective here. But the reviewed Philips 55PUS6262 more than justifies its price.
