- Only one triple tuner
- Sound volume could be better
The 55-inch OLED TV Philips 55OLED806 pleases with its very good picture quality. Its wide colour gamut and high peak brightness bring out HDR images impressively. The sound lacks a little volume despite the separate bass. Using a special app, its sound profile can be adjusted to your own hearing ability. With four-sided Ambilight, the boundaries of the screen become blurred.

Very good98/100
The Philips 55OLED806 is a slim 4K/HDR TV with a 55-inch diagonal and a confidence-inspiring weight of 19.4 kilograms. Two feet in different colours (chrome, matt black) allow for an even more homogeneous integration into the living room ambience. The set-up is very easy, as the installation menu guides you step by step through the configuration...
Very good88/100
Whether almost classic Philips extras like Ambilight or new additions like the Mimi app: The Philips 55OLED806 shone in the test with its numerous and useful extra functions. Using all of them requires some practice, and the remote control also takes some getting used to. However, the Philips OLED806 rewards the effort with clear sound and a great picture in currently unbeatable quality.
