Philips OLED+936 Review: Highest Full-Screen OLED HDR Brightness + Best-in-Class Sound.
936 worse for the 4k/120 issue than the 806.. Can only laugh. Mine will be going straight back..
No tv is perfect. If gaming is your priority, perhaps an LG is a better choice. Dual chip design means higher input lag, due to 30-40% more image processing. You are getting, however, the highest HDR brightness and the best sharpening algorithm on the market with this tv and the sound isn't too shabby either.
In answer to your question, as with our competitors who use the Mediatek chipset, Philips TV does halve the resolution in VRR 4K 120Hz mode. However, unlike our competitors, Philips TV is able to offer full vertical resolution at fixed frame rates at 4K 120Hz via the sets monitor setting.
Panasonic has a different SOC mediatek than Sony and Philips. Your PS5 does not have VRR like the xbox X. Also, Sony OLED TVs do not have VRR and they promise to add with firmware. Your PS5 won't be able to play at 4K 120, at best it's 4K 60. At worst, 4K 30 ... Old games, or games with downscaled graphics will be able to play at 4k 120. But is it worth it?
4k 60 VRR is enough!
In "monitor" mode, Philips oled can correctly (!!!) display 4K 120! But without VRR.
In the "game" mode, when freesynnc equipment is detected, the TV turns on VRR
These restrictions are due to soc mt 5895. Panasonic has another SOC mediatek. And it's even worse than Sony or Phillips
Unfortunately non of the factory resets fixed it, however I've today installed new f/w version 001.001.233.026 and the issue has gone away (no changelog avail yet). It looks like f/w 233.022 was the cause.Sounds like it is set on custom colour
If not...
Try a reboot in andriod settings
Last resort...
Factory reset
But this will set TV settings and everything back to day it came out the box
Thank you for letting us know.[...] however I've today installed new f/w version 001.001.233.026 [...]
they have a different mediatek! As far as I read, Panasonic was able to do this in some kind of "bypass" mode that does not use image processing.This isn’t correct at all, Vincent’s review clearly says the 936 cannot even achieve 4K/120 in monitor mode without VRR.
You say Panasonic has a ‘worse’ Mediatek SOC than Philips and Sony yet they’ve solved all issues with 4K/120/VRR?
You should find that settings in (Personel Picture Modes) will retain settings for each input source etc.A bit frustrating that I seem to have to keep turning some settings off on every Input instead of centrally though (The light sensor!)
Happy enough with the soundbar with it cranked up a bit, can immediately notice the difference enabling Atmos on some of my favourite movies on Plex. I’ll probably add a wired sub though if I do keep the TV.
The support page hasn't updated to show any new f/w since the. 12 version.Is it just me or is there no more link to the firmware on their support page?
That's not what I meant. I don't see any Firmware info/page/download there at all.The support page hasn't updated to show any new f/w since the. 12 version.
Does anyone know what type of Ethernet port the 65OLED936/12 has? eg 10 or 100 or 1Gb (2.5GB dreaming obv...)
and how does it compare to the WiFI ac (throughput speeds wise) ?
