Hello everyone,
Happy owner of a PHILIPS 55PUS6704 LED TV since 2019, I am a big fan of the Philips Ambilight system which reinforces immersion and I admit that I will now find it difficult to not have it. I am here today to have some advices to switch to an OLED TV.
My current setup :
Reason for setup:
My needs for 2022:
I am interested by the Philips 55OLED856 (version of the 55OLED806 with rotative base) which fulfills my criteria for image part and i ma thinking to the possibly to complete it with an Airplay compatible sound bar or to go directly to the Philips 55OLED+936 which offers a sound bar but not Airplay compatible itas i knowe (the price is not the same either). As a backup solution, I can always keep my current sound "setup".
My questions:
- Android TV on the TV Versus Nvidia Shield TV: my Nas is now Plex server compatible, so I can remove the Shield to simplify the setup, but is GeforceNow also available on Android TV? Is it better to remove the shield to avoid multiple image processing that will eventually distort it? The TV shield reads all formats & codecs: is this always the case on ATV?
- Philips 55OLED856 VS 936: apart from the soundbar, what are the differences between the 2 models? I read about VRR & 120hz issue but as i owned a PS5, 4K 60hz VRR will be enough for me.
- Sound bar: I don't know anything about it but I would like something decent Airplay compatible but not necessarily with too high a sound volume (I live in a 91m² apartment, and it quickly becomes complicated to watch a film when the kids are in bed). At worst I can keep my current sound build.
Do you have any advice or advice for me?
Thanks
Regards

My current setup :
- TV : LED PHILIPS 55PUS6704
- Box: Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 plex server with file hosting on a Synology DS712+ nas (2x 6 Tb Western digital Red WD60EFAX in SHR)
- Console: PS5 Standard Edition
- Sound: Harman Kardon SoundSticks III 2.1 kit wired to the TV + RCA Switch with an Apple Airport Express terminal to take advantage of the Airplay function for music
- Internet & network: Freebox Delta S 10 Gbit/s + RT-AX89X wifi router connected with SFP+ (aggregation of RJ45 links from the NAS + 10 Gbits on the wifi network)
Reason for setup:
- Nvidia Shield Pro 2019 bought because my old TV was a Sony KDL 40EX405 1080p which allowed me not to take a much more expensive Android TV in 2019 and my old QNAP TS412 NAS at the time did not support the transcoding function .
- Kit 2.1 + RCA switch + Apple Airport = cheap solution to have a better sound for TV & stream music from our iPhones via Airplay.
My needs for 2022:
- Take advantage of OLED technology
- Keep Ambilight function
- Stream music in Airplay
- TV needs: Netflix, Plex Server (mainly 4k sources, some 1080p or old 720p), Molotov for TV, Android TV.
- Games: Take advantage of 120 Hz + VRR (not yet available on PS5 for the moment)
