Philips has finally released its new televisions, which have generated interest since their introduction, as they seem to be better options for all available categories. On this occasion we want to talk about the Philips PUS8887, a television that at first glance does not seem to have many new features, but when we go into the features section we notice valuable details, although for obvious reasons there will be negative points, therefore, we invite you to continue reading this article to know in detail what this equipment offers.<\/p>\n

Aesthetically we have a nice TV that has good details in its design in general<\/p>\n

The aesthetics provided by the\u00a0Philips 65PUS8887\u00a0seems acceptable to us, yes, we notice that it does not present many changes compared to previously seen versions.\u00a0This detail could seem somewhat negative, but we are talking about an aspect that has aged in a good way and seems appropriate to us.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that its dimensions are\u00a0842.2 x 1450.5 x 170 mm\u00a0for a\u00a065-inch\u00a0TV .\u00a0These data indicate that it will be a good option if you have large rooms or halls.\u00a0We noticed that it integrates correctly and gives a better view regardless of the angle from which it is viewed.<\/p>\n

We think it is a good idea to acquire the VESA support, a tool that increases the depth of the television, but does not change much the space we need.\u00a0As for the weight, we find 24.5 kilograms,\u00a0thus being a somewhat heavy equipment\u00a0, therefore, extra help is required for its placement.<\/p>\n

Being a mid-range model, the construction materials are of a regular quality, that is, it is not bad, but it is not the best either, therefore, we must be careful when trying to move the television.\u00a0It has a black chassis that usually integrates well with the environment\u00a0.<\/p>\n

We would have preferred to have a variety of colors, but for now this is only available for the 8887 series. Reviewing in detail, we define that the front has the most attractive in terms of aesthetics due to its\u00a0\u00a0thin bezels\u00a0\u00a0capable of generating elegance from any angle.<\/p>\n

In addition, having a thin frame allows the useful space on the screen to be greater. The rear part is nice as it does not have such a large bulky space , so we have an overall slim TV that has better integration in any environment.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

Surely it is the most interesting section, which does not turn out to be anything common.\u00a0At least not for the mid-range that has almost always handled simple connectivity\u00a0.\u00a0But in this television we find connectors that greatly improve the experience when using them.<\/p>\n

The first thing to note is that it has four\u00a0\u00a0HDMI\u00a0inputs \u00a0that most possibly know their functions, but if this is not the case, it allows us to connect external devices such as consoles, computers, laptops and players to transmit their signal directly to the television.<\/p>\n

The most interesting thing is that two entries have version 2.1 that improves performance by providing a better experience in terms of quality.\u00a0In addition, we can make use of two\u00a0USB\u00a0ports ,\u00a0\u00a0but as in the previous case, one is version 3.0, generating other types of qualities\u00a0.<\/p>\n

The difference from the previous version is that the data transmission feels smooth, which helps a lot regarding the functions that can be used through these ports.\u00a0For example, we can connect compatible units and play photos, videos and even music.<\/p>\n

However,\u00a0the biggest attraction seems to us the possibility of recording content\u00a0, which can be viewed at any time, although a unit of at least 80GB will be necessary.\u00a0We found more interesting physical connections that you can see in the specifications table.<\/p>\n

Right there you can check the compatible tuners.\u00a0Now let’s talk about the wireless issue that is not far behind in terms of redeeming itself because it offers\u00a0\u00a0dual-band\u00a0\u00a0Wi\u00a0\u00a0-Fi\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0, two options that improve the experience by avoiding the use of many cables.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the Philips 65PUS8887<\/h2>\n

It seems to us that the most important aspect is found in the image offered by the Philips 65PUS8887\/12, which we must find regular for reasons that we will mention.\u00a0First of all, we have a 4K resolution that by power seeks to give visual details with a certain realism.<\/p>\n

The bad thing ends up being the inclusion of a\u00a0\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0backlight that unfortunately does not have local dimming, which these days seems very necessary for a deeper visual experience.\u00a0The lack of such technology makes the TV struggle.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that it has a\u00a0\u00a0VA\u00a0panel , which provides some advantages regarding the image.\u00a0Among the most striking we have better levels in terms of contrast and brightness, so that the blacks and whites are slightly deep.\u00a0Also, there will be no obvious light leaks.<\/p>\n

However, we found colors to be displayed less faithfully and accurately.\u00a0Another detail to keep in mind is that the viewing angles are not the best, but thanks to the integration of certain technologies, the final result improves a bit and we see a better image.<\/p>\n

These functions focus your work on essential parameters such as color, contrast, brightness and even saturation.\u00a0The change will not be incredible, but we did notice a slight difference that turns out to be positive.\u00a0Also comment that it has compatibility with\u00a0\u00a0HDR10 +\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HLG\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

The power in the speakers does not seem to be adequate because it only includes 20W,\u00a0\u00a0which is still normal in the mid-range\u00a0, however, we note that most current content requires higher quality so that we can at least hear clearly and accurately. .<\/p>\n

What saves the sound is the inclusion of several technologies that provide an immersive\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0precise\u00a0experience , especially in the dialogues and the ambient sound that, as a rule, is what most affects this category due to the little audio available.\u00a0Therefore, it does not become negative.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

It has the most recent version of Android, a system that is considered among the best for its features<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Philips 65PUS8887\u00a0\u00a0looks like a well-equipped television, obviously its operating system is not far behind and we have\u00a0Android TV\u00a0in version 11 that stands out for many reasons.\u00a0The main one is that it offers the\u00a0Play Store\u00a0\u00a0with more than 7,000 applications that are constantly updated.<\/p>\n

In addition to that, we can download music, games and rent movies to enjoy on the TV without much complication.\u00a0It offers compatibility with\u00a0\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Alexa\u00a0, two assistants that stand out for facilitating certain actions, and this is because we can control them using only our voice.<\/p>\n

It includes an internal memory of\u00a016 GB\u00a0so you can install a good number of applications without complications.\u00a0This model turns out to be an attractive option to play thanks to its frequency rate at\u00a0\u00a0120 Hz\u00a0, likewise, it offers\u00a0AMD FreeSync Premium\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Auto Game Mode\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Auto Latency Mode\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Finally, mention that it includes\u00a0Ambilight\u00a0technology \u00a0that offers us a different experience when viewing content, since it is a function that transmits LED lights on the sides depending on the content we see, so the content is better integrated.<\/p>\n
