Hello guys,
I have recently purchased an 854 55" and i would like to give some feedback. I moved from Philips 7303 led, so the difference is very obvious
. The TV is only used for streaming: Netflix, Youtube, Prime etc
First I would like to point out the "bad", it is just my opinion after 2 weeks of usage.
- first of all and the most annoying thing is the ABL - way to aggressive in SDR content - you instantly lose a lot of details in bright scenes. I hope philips will rethink and find a way to better manage this. In HDR10 and Dolby is much better, but also the content is very limited.
- pixel shift + ambilight: kind of fail. In a dark room with ambilight on, the pixel shift will ruin the experience. You will always have a thicker edge( up to 1 cm) and it is a shame because otherwise the edges are very thin. You have to turn off the tv to reset the pixel shift but will not last, in 5 minutes will start over. I understand the need of shifting but this doesn't change the fact that ... is not ok for the experience.
- remote control looks cheaper
- compared to 7303.
The Good:
Great picture, great blacks;
HDR content looks very good;
Same for Dolby Vision;
Good uniformity, no visible dirty screen effect;
It is possible that the "bad" that a i pointed, not to be an issue for you. As i said, it is just my opinion after 2 weeks of usage.
