Philips\u00a0has recommended quality televisions, likewise, they usually offer affordable prices.\u00a0Today we bring a model within the mid-range, an interesting option in terms of features that provide a good experience.\u00a0Since everything will have its good and bad points, this is precisely what leads us to create a complete review in order to let you know if the\u00a0Philips 43PUS8057\/12\u00a0is an option that suits you or if you should look for other options, especially in such a competitive category where You can find alternatives of all kinds.<\/p>\n

Philips PUS8057 Review<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In appearance we see an interesting television that with a good placement provides a better view in general<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Philips 43PUS8057\u00a0is not really a premium model, therefore its design is not incredible, although we must admit that it has a prudent appearance, which seems to integrate well into almost any environment, especially if it is to be placed in medium-sized rooms.<\/p>\n

We recommend purchasing the VESA support that helps us to have an easier installation,\u00a0\u00a0although our recommendation is that you place it on the wall\u00a0, so we can see the front part that turns out to be the most attractive of all its appearance because it includes thin bezels.<\/p>\n

These allow the appearance of the television to be attractive because we have a full screen, in fact, the usable space reaches almost 95%, which is perfect when viewing content.\u00a0To this we must add the inclusion of Ambilight + technology that is incredible\u00a0.<\/p>\n

This technology transmits\u00a0\u00a0LED\u00a0lights \u00a0from the sides with colors that adjust to the content we are watching,\u00a0\u00a0so we have a beautiful environment\u00a0.\u00a0The rear gives us a cleaner space that eliminates bulky parts, so we enjoy a slim look.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

We have a complete connector box that has the essential ports.\u00a0Proof of this are its four\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs \u00a0, perfect for connecting external devices and sending their signal to the television.\u00a0We also have two\u00a0\u00a0USB\u00a0\u00a0to play or record content.<\/p>\n

\"PUS8057

In addition, we have other very useful physical connections such as its\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port that allows us to connect to the Internet through the network cable, although this forces us to have the television very close.\u00a0There will be other interesting physical connections that we put in the specifications table.<\/p>\n

Here we have the two most used options at the moment, which ensures a good wireless experience.\u00a0For starters, we have\u00a0\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0to use the internet from a distance.\u00a0Likewise, we have\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0to connect other types of external devices.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the Philips 43PUS8057<\/h2>\n

The image of the\u00a0Philips 43PUS8057\/12\u00a0becomes acceptable due to the optimization that it integrates, which seems sufficient to display content.\u00a0First, we find a\u00a04K\u00a0resolution \u00a0that, by offering four times more power than\u00a0\u00a0Full HD\u00a0, \u00a0delivers more realistic details.<\/p>\n

This definition is complemented by an\u00a0\u00a0LED\u00a0backlight \u00a0that from our point of view is normal,\u00a0\u00a0since it has more disadvantages than benefits\u00a0, therefore, the experience will be very limited, especially if we place the television in a very dark or bright environment.<\/p>\n

Something interesting to know is that it has a VA panel that turns out to be a subtype of VA.\u00a0This has some advantages that improve the experience a bit\u00a0.\u00a0First of all, we have a faster refresh rate that favors us when viewing content with a lot of action.<\/p>\n

The viewing angle is also very good, obviously it doesn’t have the quality of an IPS panel, but it doesn’t lose much detail either.\u00a0In addition, we noticed a significant improvement in contrast, however,\u00a0here we notice some sacrifice in brightness\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0color fidelity\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In the event that the content is being reproduced from a lower resolution source, we should not worry much, since\u00a0\u00a0Ultra Resolution\u00a0\u00a0improves the quality considerably.\u00a0We also have support for\u00a0\u00a0HDR10\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HDR10+\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HLG\u00a0, \u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

We can consider that the audio is another of the weak points of this model, and we say this because we only have two speakers that offer\u00a0\u00a020W\u00a0of power, which is normal in the mid-range, however, there will be more demanding content that could cause conflicts. .<\/p>\n

The good thing is that we have technologies like\u00a0\u00a0Clear Dialogue\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Atmos\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Bass Enhancement\u00a0for a more immersive and precise experience, especially in dialogue and ambient sound, however, for a better experience you will have to purchase an external system.<\/p>\n

Software analysis \/ Smart TV and more noteworthy features<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

It has a well-worked system that prioritizes entertainment for users<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Philips 43PUS8057\u00a0delivers Android 11, a system that we highlight for the huge catalog of applications it contains, and this is because it has the Play Store that allows us to install more than 7,000 options,\u00a0obviously the most popular platforms will be\u00a0available .<\/p>\n

We also have the possibility of downloading music, movies and games to enjoy on the television.\u00a0Another benefit is the inclusion of\u00a0\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Alexa\u00a0, two assistants that allow us to control certain functions using only our voice.\u00a0So we have better control.<\/p>\n

There will be other interesting functions that improve the user experience, likewise, it has a\u00a0\u00a0Pixel Precise Ultra HD\u00a0processor that improves fluidity when using the television in each of its sections.\u00a0To download your applications it has an internal memory of\u00a016 GB\u00a0.<\/p>\n
