The best Philips TVs up to 32 ''

Philips 24PHT4031

Rating: 4.8

A discreet 24-inch TV designed to be installed in a children's room or anywhere in the kitchen. In such conditions, the screen resolution, which is 1366 x 768 pixels, will hardly bother you. Much more important will seem the fact that the device turned out to be very thin. Also, the product does not require connecting a set-top box if you want to watch terrestrial or even cable digital TV. This model does not support only the DVB-S2 standard, which is satellite. But who will connect a satellite dish to such a small TV?

The device does not include Smart TV. However, you can use it not only for watching different TV channels. External devices are connected to two HDMI sockets and one VGA connector. Also on the case, you can find one USB port to which you can connect an external drive with movies, music and photos. The headphone jack, which comes to the rescue in those moments when you do not want to wake up the child or wife, can also please. The rest of the time, the sound is output to the simplest acoustics, consisting of two speakers with a power of 3 W each.

Advantages

• Weight does not exceed 3.2 kg;

• There is a headphone output;

• Not a bad, albeit not very loud sound;

• TimeShift and sleep timer included;

• DVB-T2 and DVB-C standards are supported;

• Great for small spaces;

• The optimal set of connectors for this size.

disadvantages

• Low display resolution;

• Not very wide viewing angles;

• Smart TV is missing.

The best Philips TVs with a diagonal of 40-43 inches

Philips 43PUT6162

Rating: 4.7

One of the most affordable 4K TVs. For this model, equipped with a 108-centimeter IPS-display, they ask about 38 thousand rubles. But the TV got into our rating not only due to the adequate price tag, but also due to certain features. For example, the product has a built-in FM tuner at its disposal, which makes it possible to abandon the use of a separate radio receiver in the room. The aforementioned screen is also pleasantly surprised. It has realistic color reproduction and maximum viewing angles. At the same time, 4K-resolution is supplemented here with support for the HDR effect.

The TV is not huge. In this regard, you should not find fault with the speaker system, which here consists of two speakers with a power of 10 watts. The device also includes Smart TV, a function that allows you to watch content online. The connection to the router is carried out either using a cable or via Wi-Fi 802.11n (the first option will provide higher bandwidth). External equipment is connected via three HDMI sockets, and two USB ports are intended for connecting flash drives.

Otherwise, this is a traditional LCD TV that sells for relatively little money. There is only one TV tuner here. The device does not understand satellite TV – the 'dish' will have to be connected to the receiver, and from it the cable must be pulled to the TV. There is also Bluetooth missing here. In a word, this is a very good option for buying, but with tangible limitations.

Advantages

• Good screen with maximum viewing angles;

• Includes 4K resolution and HDR support;

• Smart TV is present;

• Not the worst acoustics;

• There is an FM radio;

• A large number of connectors including a headphone jack.

disadvantages

• The screen refresh rate is 60 Hz;

• No support for DVB-S2 standard;

• Only one TV tuner is built in;

• Smart TV is clearly lacking in performance.

Philips 43PFT5301

Rating: 4.6

The diagonal of the screen of this TV has been brought to 43 inches (109 cm). However, the device cannot boast of 4K resolution, the manufacturer in this case relied on Full HD. That is why a TV set costs no more than 28 thousand rubles. It is supposed to be bought for use in a relatively small room, as the second TV in the family.

Many other characteristics of the device are also slightly truncated. For example, only one TV tuner is used here, and support for the satellite DVB-S2 standard is completely absent. However, most buyers will use this device to watch only terrestrial and cable television (DVB-T2 and DVB-C, respectively), and their support is still present here. You can also connect external electronic equipment to the TV – a game console, Blu-ray player or something else. For this purpose, two HDMI sockets and the same number of USB ports are used. Material from a flash drive is readable without any problems. And if there is such a desire, then you can use the Smart TV function by connecting to the Internet via Wi-Fi.

It remains to add that the sound is output here using two speakers, the total power of which is 16 watts. The result is a decent TV for, say, elderly people. That is, it was clearly not created for those who expect maximum opportunities from such a device.

Advantages

• A relatively low price tag for such a diagonal;

• Smart TV is present;

• Decent set of connectors;

• Headphone jack not forgotten;

• Light sensor built in;

• TV is not heavy.

disadvantages

• Not the highest resolution;

• Smart TV is buggy, forcing you to purchase a set-top box;

• There is no support for satellite TV;

• The remote control seems uncomfortable to many.

The best Philips TVs from 49 inches

Philips 65PUS6412

Rating: 4.9

This TV has a very thin silver painted bezel. But the main feature of the device is still not a modern design, but Ambilight lighting. This is a proprietary technology that is regularly found in the most expensive Philips TVs. It consists in highlighting the area behind the TV in the colors of what is happening on the screen. This visually increases the size of the picture.

The diagonal of the display used here is 64.5 inches (164 cm). The screen was created using IPS technology, which indicates the maximum viewing angles and realistic color reproduction. Of course, such a large display is capable of boasting 4K resolution and HDR support. The content can be played back, for example, through various applications. The operating system is installed here Android, so the buyer can easily find a large number of suitable programs. If you want to watch television, then you will certainly appreciate the support of all digital TV standards – from terrestrial to satellite. Finally, it is also possible to connect external electronics here – four HDMI sockets and some other connectors are intended for this purpose. An external hard drive and regular flash drives are connected to two USB ports.

Philips brand owners regularly incorporate FM radio into their creations. This model is no exception to the rule. They also endowed the TV with 16 GB of built-in memory and a light sensor. We warn you, this device weighs 24.5 kg, it will be extremely difficult to cope with its installation alone.

Advantages

• Built-in two TV tuners;

• A large number of connectors (not forgotten and headphone output);

• There is an Ambilight backlight;

• There is Bluetooth and light sensor;

• The display has 4K resolution and HDR support;

• There is an FM radio;

• All digital TV standards are supported;

• Smart TV is present.

disadvantages

• Low speed Wi-Fi is used;

• Standard refresh rate;

• Conventional speaker system;

• Not everyone can afford it.

Philips 55PUS6412

Rating: 4.8

Another Ambilight TV in our ranking. The screen size of this model is 54.6 inches (139 cm). Such a device costs about 65-67 thousand rubles, and this is quite an adequate price tag. As expected, the display of the device pleases with 4K resolution. The detailed picture is clearly visible from any angle, because the screen was created using IPS technology. If the refresh rate were also high, there would be no limit to the happiness of the buyer! However, this is not the right price segment to wait for 100 or even more so 120 Hz.

Philips TVs often get an operating system Android. This model is no exception to the rule. The operating system works without any serious problems, especially if you install the recommended applications. Unfortunately, it also uses a Wi-Fi 802.11n module, which in some cases does not have enough bandwidth. Fortunately, you can always connect your TV to your router using a network cable.

If we talk about connectors, there are a lot of them on the back wall. There are only four HDMI sockets here! Even the headphone jack has not been forgotten, which is gradually disappearing from competitors' TVs. Nobody forbids connecting a wireless headset – Bluetooth is also present here.

In this case, the sound is output using two speakers. The power of each of them is 10 watts. This is a typical solution for a mid-budget LCD TV. By the way, FM-radio can also be connected to acoustics.

Advantages

• There are a large number of connectors;

• There are two TV tuners;

• Built-in light sensor and Bluetooth;

• There is Ambilight lighting;

• All digital TV standards are supported;

• There is an FM radio;

• The screen has maximum viewing angles;

• There is Smart TV;

• There is 4K resolution and HDR support.

disadvantages

• Standard refresh rate;

• Low connection speed over Wi-Fi;

• Not the most convenient remote control.

Philips 49PFT5301

Rating: 4.7

This TV is unfortunately not backlit. But on the other hand, for this model in Russian retail they ask no more than 37 thousand rubles. Can you find another TV for this price that also has a 123 cm screen? It is clear that in order to achieve such a price tag, the manufacturer had to abandon the 4K resolution in favor of the standard one Full HD. But then nothing bad can be said about the viewing angles, which are maximum here. The manufacturer also tried to achieve a smooth picture. However, the actual refresh rate of the screen is not mentioned anywhere, so you should not hope for perfect results.

Like any other TV, which costs more than 20 thousand rubles, Philips 49PFT5301 is endowed with the Smart TV function. This means that you can connect to the Internet, and then proceed to online viewing of content using certain applications for this. The wireless Wi-Fi module uses not the fastest 802.11n standard here. But in this case, this is not a problem, since you will not be able to watch 4K movies, which are famous for high bitrates. It is also pleasantly pleasing that there are two USB ports for connecting external drives. Believe me, many inexpensive TVs have only one connector, and this is clearly not enough by modern standards. The manufacturer also credits the presence of a light sensor – it allows the system to automatically adjust the brightness of the backlight. If the result is not satisfactory, then auto-tuning can always be disabled.

The rest of the TV's specs are not impressive. Only one TV tuner is installed here, and the possibility of connecting a satellite dish is completely absent. The acoustics consists of two speakers, and their total power does not exceed 16 W. Also there is no Bluetooth – you will have to use either wired headphones or wireless ones, but with a special docking station.

Advantages

• Smart TV is present;

• The display boasts maximum viewing angles;

• There are two USB ports;

• There is a light sensor;

• Headphone jack is not forgotten;

• The price tag cannot be called high.

disadvantages

• To some, two HDMI-jacks seem a little;

• Screen resolution – only 1920 x 1080 pixels;

• There is no support for satellite TV.

Conclusion

This is a list of the best Philips TVs available to the consumer. Each of the considered models is obliged to please any buyer, providing a high-quality picture, good sound and moderately wide functionality. Now all that remains is to decide on the screen size and the amount you are willing to spend.
