Ambilight technology looks great, super sharp picture, lots of advanced manual control settings including ISF presets and intricate adjustments across the board, picture quality is good (especially after tinkering with settings), thin bezel, great sound c...
Picture uniformity won't match 9000 series due to some light peaks from edgeLED lights which is a shame, it's pricey for a 46incher, lacks Netflix and a variety of other apps in the Smart TV, occasional online timeouts can't be exited easily, Perfect Natu...

When Philips announced around a year ago that its future TVs were going to be manufactured by Chinese company TPV Technology , alarm bells started ringing. Regardless of the spin, it sounded very much like the Dutch company was selling off its TV busines...
