According to our television expert
With the Philips 55OLED855, you're assured of a sharp image with a lifelike contrast and realistic colors. This TV has an OLED screen, which means the pixels individually light up and produce colors. This makes images that are supposed to be black, really black. Together with the 10-bit panel and the HDR support, this ensures a realistic color representation. Thanks to the smart P5 processor, every image looks sharp and realistic. This processor improves the image from any source, so you can always view the best image quality. Your viewing experience takes on a new dimension with Ambilight. This technique shines light on the wall behind the TV in the colors of the screen. This stylish OLED TV has a pivotable stand

When I watch movies, I think it's important that the images look realistic. The OLED screen does not disappoint, of course, and the contrast is superb. Black is really black on the screen. Especially when I view HDR images, I find that everything looks really detailed and colorful. The TV is also fairly bright for an OLED. As a result, I can still see everything well in a lit room and the contrast does not really deteriorate. I do have a bit of trouble with reflections on the screen in the bright room.
Ambilight I notice that the lighting behind the TV reacts quickly and accurately to what is happening in the image. This is especially useful if the room is darkened. The colors of the picture shine on the wall behind the TV. The Ambilight is a bit too bright for me in normal mode, but luckily I can adjust that in the settings.
Swivel shiny base What immediately stands out about the design is the shiny metal base that is attached in the middle under the TV. Its installation is quite easy, and the TV stands firmly on the furniture. I think it's an advantage that the TV can rotate on the foot. Unfortunately, the beautiful and sleek design of the foot has a disadvantage: the image reflects on the shiny foot. This is especially noticeable when you watch a movie in the dark.
Clear bass thanks to subwoofer In terms of sound, the OLED855 has a big advantage. There is a subwoofer on the back of the TV, so deep bass sounds can be heard clearly. Because of this, I think the TV also sounds good when I listen to music or watch an action movie. Thanks to that deeper bass, you get closer to a real cinema experience.
Pleasant and extensive smart menu The Android smart platform offers many possibilities. The apps I use the most are right at the top of the menu, such as Netflix, YouTube, and Disney+. The menu is also easy to navigate. I really like that the remote has a QWERTY keyboard on the back. Normally I cast videos on YouTube with my smartphone, but the keyboard makes it just as easy to search for videos via the TV. This is really a plus for me.
