Being able to deliver more native brightness means, too, that there’s a wider range of natural looking tones in the brightest parts of HDR images, as well as reducing the potential for clipping (lost shading) in peak light areas. Details are still thin on the ground, but we look forward to testing the system later in the year. Any improvement on this already-excellent feature is surely welcome.

Pretty much the only other negatives we can point out are that the new Ambient modes tend to leave the picture too dark (so should be turned off), and that the overall excellent noise reduction system Philips deploys with most of its out of the box presets can smooth filmic grain away. So with Ambilight out of the way, the 55OLED807 becomes a slightly more straightforward, like-for-like rival to all the price-comparable alternatives around. Mind you, its compatibility with every worthwhile HDR standard, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+, marks it out as the product of a company who puts the consumer, rather than industry politics, first. The set also carries a Dolby Vision Game mode (though this only supports DV up to 60Hz, not 120Hz like LG's OLEDs), and provided you select its Monitor setting the OLED807 can deliver 4K 120Hz without suffering the half vertical resolution issue that has affected some premium Philips TVs. We’d also recommend slightly reining in the sharpness and colour slightly with the Crystal Clear preset, while adding a touch more punch to the HDR Personal preset. Percentage Luminance drop at 35 degree horizontal angle from the centre of the screen with 50% white outputThe OLED807 models take Philips’ expertise with gaming to an even higher level. Game Bar lets you adjust the picture settings whilst gaming is in progress. Picture presets optimise the settings for different game genres – such as Shooter and Role Play. With support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) and ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), you get a great gaming experience with exceptionally low input lag. Unique to Philips, Ambilight’s gaming mode brings another dimension of immersion. Inevitably the 55OLED907’s rear has to accommodate a more substantial section containing connections, processing, speakers and the Ambilight LEDs over the central portion of its bottom half, but you need to be looking at the TV from a pretty severe angle before this bulkier bit becomes visible past the ultra-skinny edges. The 5527 seems to be 32-inch version of the 5537 (above). The spec sheet points to one slight difference when it comes to audio output: a 10W mono speaker versus 6W stereo speakers. As with the product it replaces, the 55OLED807 has a 2.1-channel audio system – some of which is visible on the TV’s rear panel. There’s an all-in total of 70 watts of power, driving four high/mid drivers and a subwoofer.

Panel aside, the 9507's feature set looks to be almost identical to that of the OLED807: four-sided Ambilight, 70W 2.1 speaker system, Android TV 11 and full support for HDR (including Dolby Vision, HDR 10+ and IMAX Enhanced). You also get the top-of-the-line gaming features, including HDMI 2.1, VRR and auto low latency.

However, please note that the 48-inch OLED807 won't be able to match the same highs as this, because the panel can't get as bright at this size (it's the same for all 48-inch OLEDs) – this brightness applies to the 55-inch, 65-inch and 77-inch models. The Philips 807 makes for an excellent gaming TV thanks to its support for 4K/120Hz high frame rate, ALLM and VRR – including Nvidia G-Sync and AMD FreeSync Premium – although, as mentioned earlier, there are only two HDMI 2.1 inputs. Multi-format HDR support, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for a stunning picture from all sources This television contains lead only in certain parts or components where no technology alternatives exist in accordance with existing exemption clauses under the RoHS Directive.

The process of justifying the 55OLED907’s price is also bolstered by its use of an unusually powerful integrated audio system designed by renowned hi-fi brand Bowers & Wilkins, and a premium version of Philips’ spectacular Ambilight design feature. In its Game mode the 55OLED907 takes just under 20ms to render its images. That’s slightly higher than the 55OLED807, oddly, but slightly less than the OLED937. It’s also around double the number we’re getting now from some TVs, including LG’s OLEDs, but in truth only the most serious gamers will feel that this has a significant impact on their gaming skills.Approximate width of the display. If the manufacturer does not provide such information, the width is calculated from the diagonal and the aspect ratio. The most widely used panels are those with 6, 8, and 10 bits for each of the RGB components of the pixel. They provide 18-, 24-, and 30-bit color, respectively. First off, the TV's Eco mode features and new Ambient AI features - at least the Eye Care and Dark Scene Optimisation elements - are best turned off. Even though, tediously, this has to be done separately for each picture preset. The problem is that these features can lead to some heavy handed reduction in the subtle detailing you can see in dark parts of the picture, sometimes leaving such areas feeling unnaturally hollow and empty.
