<\/a><\/p>\nThe VESA 200 x 200 wall mount required to mount the Philips 55PUS8007 TV on the wall is not included.\u00a0All TV connectors go sideways or down.\u00a0It is convenient for wall mounting.\u00a0But only with this option, it should be taken into account that the device is rather thick (8 cm), and the Ambilight backlight works only from three sides.<\/p>\n
Image quality<\/h3>\n
In principle, the Philips 55PUS8007 \/ 12 TV provides an adequate image for its money.\u00a0It does not claim to compete with OLED or premium LCD models.\u00a0Its task is to form a nice-looking picture with minimal hardware costs.\u00a0Yes, it doesn’t have 10-bit color, it doesn’t have a wide color gamut, and its 60Hz IPS panel\u00a0doesn’t have the contrast margin that\u00a0VA panels do.<\/p>\n
But overall, the colors look nice, the panel is bright enough, and the clarity is just as good. With Full HD and 4K content, the affordable PUS8007 series is ideal for big screen viewing. And we note that the Philips PUS8007 TV supports all formats of extended dynamic range, including Dolby Vision.<\/p>\n
For an optimal combination of color saturation and realism, the Dolby Vision Vivid picture style is best suited.\u00a0However, the Dolby Vision Dark style does not provide a convincing HDR effect, since the TV panel has a modest brightness.\u00a0With the settings adjusted to your preference, the Philips 8007 is a pleasure to look at.<\/p>\n
However, you can notice a certain loss of detail in the shadows, and more specifically in the darkest parts of the scene, and even in the brightest.\u00a0Plus, sometimes there is a loss of clarity in dark scenes.\u00a0Here, of course, one cannot do without a kind word for OLED TVs, the same Philips\u00a0OLED807\u00a0, for example.<\/p>\n
Of course, one of the determining factors when choosing a Philips PUS8007 \/ 12 TV will be the presence of Ambilight backlight.\u00a0LED indicators on the edges of the TV light up and change color in perfect sync with the colors of what is happening on the screen or music.\u00a0Moreover, even rapidly changing visual effects on the screen do not interfere with Embilight, and it changes quite quickly.\u00a0There is an option to turn it off.<\/p>\n

Smart TV<\/h3>\n
In 2022, only two Philips TVs use the Pixel Precise Ultra HD processing engine, the PUS8007 and PUS7607.\u00a0Of these, only the 8007 is based on the Android TV 11 user interface, which is designated R in alphabetical order. The interface is very clear and easy to navigate.<\/p>\n
Android 11 OS has a wide range of streaming apps, as well as support for Google Assistant, making it much easier to communicate with the Philips 55PUS8007\/12 TV.\u00a0In the Google Play Movies & TV store, you can view or even purchase movies and TV shows for a fee.\u00a0The model has 16 GB of internal memory, which is quite good, much better than ultra-cheap competitors, which usually have 8 GB.<\/p>\n
Android TV comes standard with a Google Cast player.\u00a0If the application installed on your smartphone or tablet supports the Google Cast function, you can cast content from the application to the Philips 55PUS8007 TV screen.\u00a0But there is no way to record TV shows on a USB drive.\u00a0The black remote control has not changed.\u00a0It is the same as PUS7906.<\/p>\n
Game Mode<\/h3>\n
The TV also has some gaming features.\u00a0First, HDMI ports 1 and 2 support VRR 46\u202660Hz.\u00a0The low latency display mode is automatically enabled when you switch to the set-top box port.\u00a0HDMI 2.1 ports can handle 4K@120 content.\u00a0But 4K60 image will be transmitted to the panel due to the limitations of the panel.\u00a0The main innovation of the PUS8007 is the new Game Bar, which displays the frame rate and some other gaming parameters.<\/p>\n
Sound quality<\/h3>\n
The audio section of the 55PUS8007\/12 TV is typical for models of this class.\u00a0These are 2 x 10W speakers which is a 2.0 channel sound scheme.\u00a0It has Dolby Atmos, but unlike its Philips PUS8517 sibling, this model lacks AI EQ, AI Sound, and other more sophisticated smart features.\u00a0In both cases, the sound quality doesn’t match the picture quality and immersion they offer.\u00a0We recommend getting a soundbar with a separate subwoofer, if you like to watch movies or series, it’s worth it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Connections<\/h3>\n
The list of switching capabilities of the Philips 8007 is both extensive and quite standard.\u00a0There are 4 HDMI connectors on board: 2 version 2.0 (one of them supports ARC), 2 – version 2.1.\u00a0USB connectors – 2, and both versions 2.0.\u00a0There are two antenna jacks for terrestrial and satellite dishes, a digital optical audio output, a common interface slot, a LAN port, and a headphone minijack.\u00a0There is dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0.<\/p>\n
Conclusion<\/h3>\n
This is a fairly cheap model for what it offers.\u00a0Its strengths are good 4K picture quality with Dolby Atmos\/Vision and HDR10+.\u00a0Ambilight is a technology you either love or hate.\u00a0The manufacturer has also improved its OS by switching from Saphi to Android, which we think is excellent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Philips PUS8007 is a simplified adaptation of The One 2022 TVs.\u00a0The line was launched three years ago and is a strong all-rounder in terms of features and performance.\u00a0The PUS8007 is not the most entry-level TV, as it has Ambilight in a three-sided version. In this way, it provides additional immersion, unlike the similar TV Philips\u00a0PUS7607\u00a0without […] More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10402,"featured_media":148567,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[641],"tags":[778],"class_list":["post-148553","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-reviews"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148553","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10402"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=148553"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/148553\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/148567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=148553"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=148553"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=148553"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
