Philips 6700 is a very simple entry-level TV with a surprise. Despite being restrained in almost all its aspects, it turns out to be a smart TV that includes Android version 10, even having a voice assistant to give you orders.<\/p>\n

Design and connectivity<\/h3>\n

The chosen model is, in terms of aesthetics,\u00a0totally basic\u00a0.\u00a0It stands out for being compact as well as light.\u00a0It is\u00a0entirely polished black with medium-thickness frames and a support consisting of two legs\u00a0placed quite a bit towards the edge to gain stability.\u00a0These share color with the panel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is appreciated that it is a very compact television<\/p>\n

The Philips 39PHS6707\/12 measures\u00a0539.6 x 890.9 x 191 mm\u00a0.\u00a0In addition, it weighs only\u00a05.2 kilos\u00a0.\u00a0And this with your stand.\u00a0If we remove it, it will weigh only 5 kilos and will measure 517.1 x 890.9 x\u00a075.3 mm\u00a0;\u00a0we found that its profile is quite thick.\u00a0In any case, it is totally valid to be placed on the wall by using a\u00a0simple 200 x 200 mm VESA\u00a0.<\/p>\n

For the rest, the model has nothing out of the ordinary beyond being a bit rough, something that always sins in the simplest and most economical models.<\/p>\n

Connectivity and tuning<\/h3>\n

A picture is worth a thousand words.\u00a0And in this one, Philips draws all the connectors that you will find when you turn around the TV.\u00a0These are the\u00a0CI+ slot, Ethernet LAN on RJ-45, 3.5mm headphone jack, digital audio output, two USB, antenna and satellite jacks and three HDMI 2.0 inputs\u00a0with CEC, ARC and HDCP 2.3.<\/p>\n

Philips has\u00a0EasyLink\u00a0for us , a way to facilitate the connection with the control, offering a standby mode, one-touch playback or audio control.<\/p>\n

Philips 39PHS6707 connectors<\/p>\n

On the other hand we have tuning.\u00a0This includes an\u00a0analog PAL\/SECAM\u00a0.\u00a0We also find\u00a0HbbTV, CI+ v1.4.\u00a0DVB-C, DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-T2 HD, DVB-S and DVB-S2\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Wireless connectivity for a\u00a0WiFI dual band\u00a0and, attention.\u00a0Bluetooth in v.5.0\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality and general functions<\/h3>\n

This model has a\u00a039-inch LED LCD panel whose resolution is HD (1366 x 768 pixels)\u00a0.\u00a0The “good” thing about this is that, as it is a small diagonal, the density of pixels per cm2 is not low, which allows better details to be drawn than if the television were, for example, 55 inches.\u00a0It has a frequency of\u00a060 Hz\u00a0and a typical aspect resolution of 16:9.\u00a0Its matrix is \u200b\u200b24 bits and its color depth is 8.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The TV offers a simple image<\/p>\n

The good thing about this model is that, despite being basic, it has support for\u00a0HDR content in HDR HLG and HDR 10\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Philips 39PH6707\/12 plays audiovisuals in AVI, MKV, AV1, VP9, \u200b\u200bH264\/MPEG-4 AVC, MPEG-1, MPEG-2 MPEG-4HEVC (H.265).\u00a0For images, it offers support for JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and HEIF.<\/p>\n

Philips 6707 Audio<\/h3>\n

The\u00a012 W\u00a0that we have with the two speakers of this TV model falls short, although it is a common figure in the entry range.\u00a0If you fall short you can always link a sound bar.<\/p>\n

It reproduces, yes, content even in\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0, so the quality that you are going to find is quite good;\u00a0in addition, a\u00a0Dolby bass enhancement\u00a0system is included .\u00a0It also has easy\u00a0clear dialog technology and an automatic volume leveler\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The audio formats that you can play on this TV will be AAC, MP3, WAV, WMA (v2 up to v9.2) and WMA-PRO (v9 and v10).<\/p>\n

Software analysis\/SmartTV<\/h3>\n

This TV has a quad core processor called Pixel Plus HD, already used in other years in a number of low and mid-range models.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0provide basic options such\u00a0as 1000-page hypertext, eco mode, image mute to consume less just by listening, an eight-day programming guide or Time Shift.<\/p>\n

It also offers us smart functions, its own, coming, on this occasion, with\u00a0Android TV 10\u00a0.\u00a0I really find this version more than acceptable, because let’s remember that the TV is very simple in all other aspects;\u00a0I was expecting something more basic.<\/p>\n

Its home screen is customizable\u00a0, allowing us to place on it the apps that we want to have most at hand, with the continuous playback function (from where you left it the last time).<\/p>\n

As standard, the device comes with\u00a0YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Disney +, BBC iplayer and Netflix\u00a0.\u00a0Obviously, you can go to the app store and download as many as you want.<\/p>\n

It is important to know that this model is\u00a0compatible with Google Assistant\u00a0.\u00a0This means that, despite its simplicity, it is capable of working through the commands that, ordered by you, the assistant executes.\u00a0This, in addition, can also answer all kinds of questions, related or not to the content or to the world of the television;\u00a0It will tell you the temperature tomorrow in Beijing, it will give you a tutorial to do anything, it will tell you a joke, it will create a shopping list or it will open the app that you ask for.<\/p>\n
