been known for offering good performance regardless of the range.\u00a0This time we want to focus on the average, since we have found the\u00a0Philips 55PUS7906 \/ 12\u00a0an option that seems well equipped, in addition, it offers a cost that in our point of view is acceptable compared to the features it integrates.\u00a0Without further\u00a0ado\u00a0, we are going to know in detail everything that the\u00a0Philips 55PUS7906 offers us.<\/p>\n<h2>Exterior design of the Philips 55PUS7906 \/ 12<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-80632 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"Its design does not convince us too much, since it shows parts with a more exposed thickness\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P2-2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-80632\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Its design does not convince us too much, since it shows parts with a more exposed thickness<\/p>\n<p>Normally this firm does not usually work much on the appearance of its most basic models, and that can be a small problem for those users who pay more attention to these details.\u00a0However,\u00a0in our opinion, an aesthetic is added according to the rest of the aspects that this model offers\u00a0.\u00a0For starters, it is an acceptable size.<\/p>\n<p>Which will be well received by rooms or medium-sized rooms where it will fit much better.\u00a0Something that we must highlight is that its front has relatively thin bezels that will give it a more elegant appearance, therefore,\u00a0we think it is an excellent recommendation to place this TV directly on the wall so that it looks more\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-134033\"

the reproduction of content, since the useful space will be much better and what we see should not present obstacles.\u00a0What we liked the least was the back,\u00a0since it has a fairly exposed thickness that detracts from the beauty of the TV\u00a0, in addition, we can say that its construction materials are weak.<\/p>\n<h3>Connectivity<\/h3>\n<p>We are going to receive good connectivity that adds the essential connectors, for example, we receive four\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs\u00a0to connect external devices, likewise, we have two\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0with its dual function of playing and recording content.\u00a0Extra options that we find are its satellite input, its audio output and its antenna.\u00a0Let&#8217;s move on to the wireless where we will be quite equipped with its\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0,\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0and\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h2>Image quality and general functions of the Philips 55PUS7906<\/h2>\n<p>The\u00a0Philips 55PUS7906 \/ 12\u00a0does not present the best image quality, however, it will be acceptable for almost any content, and that is because we have a 4K resolution that gives us four times more power than Full HD, therefore we must receive better details,\u00a0which in theory should be shown in a more realistic\u00a0and\u00a0deeper state\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>In this case we are going to receive an\u00a0Edge LED\u00a0backlight\u00a0that will not be the best experience we are going to have, especially if we place the TV in a very dark or bright area, therefore,\u00a0the placement will be something that can become more relevant\u00a0.\u00a0Although we should not worry too much about this issue, since enhancement technologies are added.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-134034\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/Pasted-15.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"840\" height=\"480\"

sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>They will not be too many as we have seen in more advanced televisions, however, the ones that are integrated do a good job and they will allow us to enjoy a much better experience.\u00a0In this case we have\u00a0Pixel Precise Ultra HD\u00a0that greatly improves color reproduction, since it can be seen in a more natural and vivid way.<\/p>\n<p>Likewise, we will see an interesting improvement in parameters such as contrast and brightness thanks to the\u00a0Light Sensor\u00a0that seeks to regulate the exposure of both so that we receive greater sharpness and depth.\u00a0Thanks to\u00a0Ultra Resolution\u00a0, the highest possible quality will be maintained even in content with a lower definition.\u00a0It also works with\u00a0HDR\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound<\/h3>\n<p>We cannot expect great things from audio, in fact, we consider it to be one of its weakest points, since its power is not enough when listening to more demanding content.\u00a0In this case we only have two speakers that offer 20W of total power, so it is best to purchase an external sound bar for higher quality, although we have important enhancement technologies for more immersive audio such as\u00a0AI Sound\u00a0,\u00a0Clear Dialogue\u00a0,\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0and\u00a0DTS HD\u00a0.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart TV \/ software review and more highlights<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-80633 size-full lazyloaded\" title=\"Enjoy a large catalog of applications thanks to the Android system\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/P3-2.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-80633\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enjoy a large catalog of applications thanks to the Android system<\/p>\n<p>The most interesting thing about the\u00a0Philips 55PUS7906\u00a0is that it offers Android as its system, which is always a positive thing, since it offers us a large number of functions.\u00a0First of all,\u00a0we must accept that it is a fluid platform with good optimization\u00a0, likewise, it offers the largest catalog of applications with more than 5,000 options to install.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously not all of them will be functional and that is why we must be careful not to have garbage on the TV.\u00a0Another thing to note is that it will have compatibility for\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0and\u00a0Alexa,\u00a0two really useful assistants that will allow us to control certain functions using only the voice, so we enjoy a better order.<\/p>\n<p>By including this system, we are offered\u00a0Chromecast\u00a0which is a really incredible option, since it allows us to transmit content such as movies, music and videos in general from different devices.\u00a0Finally, we must know that the\u00a0Ambilight\u00a0technology is equipped\u00a0that offers us LED lights around the TV for a better experience.<\/p>\n<h2>Philips PUS7906
