Between the 7625 and the 70PUD7406, which is better? what are the differences?
Thank for this great review!
Hello. Which HDMI ports have VRR on this TV? How do I change MOTION STYLE Off and have it be recorded in all settings? (always returns to Standard ). How do I change the video settings for HDMI input independently and have them be recorded? Thank you
Absolutely love the ambilight feature .. I have an older model but watching without ambilight is getting difficult now 😊
THE BEST IS SAMSUNG NEOQLED ULTRA DURABLE
@@jameshopkins3541 yup because Samsung TVs come with Ambilight built in 😂
my friend great work can you help about image settings what i have to do to be the picture live and bright for ps5 and movies; what is the best calibration if you can help....thank you
Great video mate, super helpful! :)
Thx for the video. I was thinking of buying this model today. Do you think it´s still a good purchase today? I am also looking at the TLC-brand.
Thank You Sir for an Excellent review. Kindest Regards, All The Best.
Great, got the one without ambilight as a welcome gift from my new ISP.
Awesome bro thank you for this comparison😃
Brooo
This is the best review with beautiful video content, editing, quality and mehn I dunno anymore
Do you know where i can find recommended tv settings or calibration for my model Philips PUS7607 4K UHD LED Smart TV 2022?
Thanks for the video, greetings from Turkey 👋🏻
There is a way to synchronize ambilight +hue on this TV?
I read philips remove this option on 7906 models
According to the manual VRR should work with Nvidia GPUs. And why didnt you research and mention the IPS Panel? 💙
Hi I’m wondering if you can help me I have purchased the 55 inch 8106 And purchased the Philips hue bridge and the Philips light bar but I am struggling to link the lights to the amber light TV could you give me any information on this please
Thanks for this review - 7406 I opted for and hope it works for good time
Hello there. I want to buy the pus7906 tv but i need to know how to connect Phillips hue lights with the tv. I saw on the internet that the 7906 model doesnt support hue bridge. If someone knows any way to connect hue lights with this tv please reply. Thanks!
Can you screen share from iPhone? assuming not since it’s an android tv?
Any idea how the newer versions of these models (7408 & 7908) compare to the older ones reviewed here (7406 & 7906)?
I have the 7906 model and im trying to look for a tv mount/bracket for it.
Could you tell me the VESA size of this model? As i cant seem to find it online.
Or is this TV not bracket compatible? Thanks
Hello i know its been 2 years but my father just bought 7906 model and i surf alot and only reliable video was of yours thanks to you i came to know about this tv and if you got my message please do tell after 2 years how the condition of your tv 😊😊😊
what about the 43PUS8536 ? it is the better than 43PUS7906 or 43PUS8007 wich is better and why ?
Can the 7906 be linked to my hue bridge to extend the ambilight? Thanks
please make a comparison of the 7906 to the Sony 65X85K
Great review. In your opinion, ¿what tv is better between this Philips 7406 (7906) or the TCL C725?. Thanks for your attention ;)
Go with te TLC. a honest Chinese product for a better price and not a sham Philips owned 100% by the Chinese and sold off as "Philips" for a higher price.
Which picture settings do you use?
Love this review
Hi I have the Philips 65PUT7906, can you please tell me how to turn the ambilight off. Thanks
is plex present in the store for that tv ?
Hi, Is the 70" PUS7906 IPS or VA pannel? Also is it Direct LED or Edge LED backlight? Thank you very much.
It’s have Va panel but it’s better because of the contrast
Lots of info, but no mention of how terrestrial Tv functions or how speedy the OS is. Had a few of these they always seem laggy and the experience of the Tv guide and live tv can be frustrating
What about chroma subsampling on PC input? Is the desktop picture clear?
have you experienced any remote input responsiveness or lagging as described by several users?
Yes, remote is laggy and you have to point it at the TV under a certain angle. But then, my experience is that all remotes with slanted top share the same problem - you have to point it at a certain angle toward the TV.
Nail biting expecting next friday to arrive my brand new 65PUS7906/12 😬. Thanks for the review dude.
How have you found it so far? Recommend?
@@rockhardsolid3394 Yes, I have it connected to a htpc and a receiver by optical cable when seeing series and movies. The ordinary tv set sound is not bad. But the point that scores the balance is the ambilight. This plays in a higher league. I've read that xioami is going to implement rear leds too but philips panels are better than xiaomi's I think.
Great explanation on Philips TV. Wanna ask which electrical store that have a wide range of Philips TV. Most of the big retailers only have Samsung or LG.
Currys have a good deal on the Phillips 7906 right now
Richer sounds have the 7906 for £299 with 6 years warranty. Really good deal, I’m picking one up today.
Philips make QLED with Ambilight and make them globally available please!
how we find and enable Allm at 7906?
What size are the TV's? Also, what panel do they have VA or IPS? (2 big omissions)
Va
I'm having trouble finding a proper vesa mount for this TV. I never had a vesa mounted tv before, and this one says it needs a 200x300 one, but I can only find symmetrical mounts: 200x200, 300x300, 400x400. Would a 300x300 work? I'm kinda lost here, I'd appreciate the help.
Have you found correct bracket? I'm looking too
@@roxon8803 I bought a "universal" one ranging from 200x200 to 400x400, turns out they're compatible. Not sure if one specifically made for 300x300 would work.
Guys i wanna buy the 7406 is it worth it or not? If not what else should i look into
does anybody know hot to install favorites channels list on this TV?
Is Philips 75PUT7908 a good tv ?
does they have a browser??
can i get plex on the 7406 ?
This model have AmbiLight music mode?
HEEEELP, PLEASE HELP. CAN SOMEONE RECOMMEND ME IF I SHOULD BUY THIS PHILIP 70’’ WITH AMBILIGHT OR THE SAMSUNG BU8000 65’’? i like samsung because it has xbox app but i think that i can download xbox in philips too
Hi Brother. Thanks for you video. Can you tell me which one is better Philips 7406 or MI P1 TV or Haier 4k dled tv for watching movies? Second can they connect with my Bluetooth ear buds. Please help me choose. Thank you

Hi, I have a question, does the 7906 have the Netflix certificate for 4K? Thanks in advance.
I can confirm it does.
@@themistheodoratos225 thanks, mate.
AWESOME review. Question: between the 7906 and a TCL QLED C715, what would you buy?
Te recomiendo el 7406/7906 mucho mejor que el MI P1. Acá en Sudamérica - en especial Argentina y Brasil - se vende estos modelos que viene compatibles con GSYNC Y AMD FREESYNC PREMIUM. Hay un youtuber Brasileño que explica mucho mejor estos dos modelos - mostrando como funciona con PS5, una Xbox series s y una laptop gamer. Son las mejores opciones en tv 4k 60hz. Todas sus entradas de HDMI soportan ALLM/VRR. Saludos
Me referia el TCL QLED C715

Question.. Can you find Google Chromecast on the 7906 4K Smart TV? Thanks!
It is mentioned on the website
nice review, just got mine
Reviewers will generally show in their presentations showroom TV screens which rarely bear any connection to an actual (live) TV picture and mislead the customers. Just as in this case.
Pliz make a videos to activate dolby sound in 7406 tv
Bit confusing that it has no VRR, some retailers say it does, others don't and if you Google it, one of the first documents you come across is a specs document that says it does. Think I'll be getting the Samsung au9000 to be safe.
Bought the pus7906 one week ago, I use it to play on my PS5 and VRR is working well, was confused too
@@Neva0510 do you think it's better than the Samsung AU8000 ?
@@wassimmhd tbh idk but it's a very good tv and the ambilight is a plus
@@Neva0510 Is it good for gaming on PS5 how is the picture quality ? Would you have bought some other TV in retrospect ?
@@red6309 No at this price I think it's still the best 4k 60hz tv you can find on ps5 it's good native 4k or dynamic 4k with upscaling is top, there is no latence in gaming mode and for the price the hdr is nice on gow ragnarok, marvel's spider man, tlou part 2...
how much gb ram has?
just bought this TV and wow this TV is good
People said there are problems with the panel and Phillips do not make the panels themselves
@@andrewhammett4805 Most TV Manufacturers don't make their own panels. Most but not all TV's use either Sony or LG panels.
How's the experience with it been?
Hi, Philips 7906 panel technology is IPS, ADS or VA?
Both IPS and va. 55 has IPS, that for sure
does this tv have vrr for ps5?
Hello. For black better 43pus7406 or 43pus7906?
I think 8516 is even better
Hello bro, I would like to know that 7906 support Ambilight+ hue option?

Big thanks 👍
Do you have comments on the backlight bleeding of this TV?
We bought this TV and have the blacks looking insanely milky :(
Same here.
@@aldinhasanovic2680 You may have the IPS Panel model. Although VA Is supposed to have better blacks than IPS Which is known to have greyish blacks but my current LG TV has a VA Panel and blacks are very grey with it.
Greyish blacks are common with TV's and computer monitors with an IPS Panel
Which one is better the pus7906 or 8507 ? I really need an answer to this 😭
Avoid 7906
@@MilkyWay428 why?
I have a dillema; Philips 50PUS8517 (The One 2022, 50-60 Hz refresh rate, 560-610 €) or Sony 50X89J (675€, 2021, 120 Hz).

same situation which one did you buy ?
@@rahil186 I went for the BU8000. The Phillips looked and felt a bit flimsy in person
@@mil.m thanks for the reply i am also thinking about going with samsung..if you dnt mind plz share your experience
hey if I get bored from the lights can ı close is there any options lıke that
Yes the Ambilights can be disabled
7906 or 8057 subbed nice video :)
Wich HDMI ports do have VRR?
2.1
How can i deactivate HDR? Everything on Prime Video is too dark because of it
I've had that same problem with my current LG , My Previous LG and the PHilips TV I had. For some reason their HDR implementation is horrible
I'd tried looking online so much, literally spent hours, and I still can't find any information about the LCDs nits.
if anyone happens to know, I'd appreciate it, looking at the 65"
706 produces 900 nits which is very sound for an OLED tv.
@@themistheodoratos225 yeah the OLED would produce a decent amount of nits but the LCD is what I can’t gather information about, even in electronic stores they don’t know
But thanks for the response.
@@xehP Ah my bad mate. I thought this TV only comes out as OLED.
Generally speaking though, LCDs are producing way less and the top I have seen is around 500
The 70" has 300 nits
I don't know about the 70" but from what I've read the 50" outputs 255 nits.
que relacion de contraste tiene? y cuanto valor de brillo?
Contraste 100
Brillo 60
Do you recomend this or tcl c715?
p} 0ppp
I was told by a company I want to buy the 7906, that it was hdmi 2.1 is this not true?
Same here mine says HDCP 2.3
Hey Late respond i know but iam looking to buy one for the main reason that i read everywhere it has got hdmi 2.1.
So what did you find out?
@@ducodumay4154 I have the Philips 43PUS7906 and can confirm it has 2.1, but it’s not really ever used as the TV doesn’t have 120hz. Regardless, the 2.1 works with my Series X plugged in.
@@courtney4680 HDCP Is not the same as HDMI. HDCP Is copyright protection technology built into HDMI
thanks
Great video btw! Does this tv have a Philips Settings menu or can you only tweak settings via the Android menu?
Thanks
Philips settings menu, but certain Android features can be tweaked too. But, why would you want to do that? You can't tweak anything out of this crap TV, Android or not. It's just horrible.
what are the main difference between the 7906 and the 8556 ?
Dram and memory
@@roxon8803 storage = memory
Well done
Xioami pi or Philips ?
Alexa is going to work with that TV ?
I'm also want to know it !!
I'm in the process of buying a new TV and I came across the phillips hue leds where the leds match the content on the TV.
My question is, does the phillips ambilight tvs give the same lighting effects and performance than buying a different manufacturer TV and installing the phillips hue syncbox and lighting strips.
I ask this because the phillips hue syncbox and gradient strip is about £400 just for the kit or i can pick up a phillips ambi light TV for about £500 . So wondering if this is the same lighting kit already built in.
Thank you in advance
I want to know the same thing, someone please answer
The biggest problem with doing it that way is the full light kit costs the same as this TV , the kit will not follow any apps on the TV itself , you will need to use an external source for streaming apps. When you use the AMBI Light kit and use an app in the TV's Operating system the kit will not follow whats on the TV.
I bought the Philips 55PDU6794/44 manufactured February 2020 made in China and my experience was HORRIBLE! It never connected to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 properly, at the beginning it works "so-so" connecting to my Note10 but now, even when both devices recognize each other, the Phillips TV disconnect the phone immediately it is connected. On the other hand, when you navigate for some hours on TH-cam (my main use) it freezes and it's necessary to reset everything in order to have TH-cam back functional again AND the same happen with Netflix, the navigation is quite slow and interrupted until it freezes... . The connection with my Bose Home Theater is intermittent, sometime, if you have luck, it works, mostly, it's not. So, the only feature works is the ambilight, but the other features are HORRIBLE!!! I'm not sure to try Phillips products again...
I have the same problem with TH-cam but not with Netflix just with TH-cam it’s so lagy and horrible on TH-cam 4K and sometimes it freeze and it comes to the home menu 😢
I DON'T USE TH-cam DIRECTLY NEVER FLINEX WHO I HATE TO DEATH SO YOU GO TO THE PC OPEN FIREFOX GET A POPUP BLOCKER AND OPEN UTUBE APPS AND BRUTU GOT TO FAIL EVEN IN SAMSUG MY TV IS 65"
At least your TV is still working. I had a 58PUS8535 and I had problems with it too. But I never had lag with it.
First I had AV Sync problems. When I switched HDMI source the AV Synce witld be massively off. I laways had to go into AV Sync settings to go from av sync adjust on then off for it to fix but even at that there was a very slight delay in the sound.
Philips eventually put a passthrough mode for av sync which only worked as long as you stay on the same input source. If I changed HDMI Source AV Sync would go way off again. I had to change from passthrough to av sync option back to passthrough.
Then there was the GAMMA problem. Sometimes I would be watching something and there would be picture Banding all over the screen. To fix that I had to go into picture settings and adjust gamma down one notch and back to where it was for the picture to go back to normal.
Other than those two issues I had the TV had a fantastic picture (a million times better than the LG TV I'm using for now) , Great sound and ARC Audio out sounded great on the TV.
But the TV just quit working on me after 13 months.
Philips 43PUS7906
But it has hdmi 2.1?
It does have it. Yes
@@KowalDWR i have the one without the back lights but it doesn't have HDmi 2.1!!

Phillips 7906 o Samsung au 7000?
Phillips 7906. It has a voice controlled Android Certifications
Same to me, im still confused which to buy
What panel VA or IPS?
55" comes with ips panel
The 70" comes with VA panel
The 50" has a VA Panel
does it support 120hz on 1080p ??
NOT , XD
Compré el 7906 de 70" ayer, y estoy arrepentido. La imagen me parece pesima, no tiene contraste al ser panel ips
Is the 7906 an oled panel?
Ofc not. There is no oled for that price.
@@Jubitu9 had to ask as it’s listed as an oled panel on Amazon
Philips are so good TV's! but i didn't waste extra money for the lights, i just added separate neat lights and connect them via usb and its still look like it have ambilights.
The USB Lights isn't the same. I have a backlight kit on my TV at the moment. I had a PHILIPS Ambilight TV and I only had to put my HDMI into the tv and the lights followed everything on the TV. With the KIT I have I have to use an HDMI Switch to an android box and into my sattelite box to do the same thing.
Also you're not really saving money by doing it this way. the extra lights aren't free
I see some people thrashing on this TV because of greyish blacks but thats what you get with the majority of TV's with an IPS panel.Even the LG 50UQ70006 that I have which has a VA pannel has absolutely awful blacks on the screen. Theyre not even dark grey , theyre light grey on my current TV.
I have the 50PUS7906 ordered and on a courrier van on its way. Its due tomorrow and if the blacks are even 1% darker than my current TV I will be happy with it once it works properly.
On top of getting the TV way cheaper than anywhere else with the store I bought it from here in Ireland I also received a six year waranty from that store for free.
Impressions?
@@shad3d127 I already posted my impressions two days ago.
@@shad3d127 After using this TV for a few days I'm even more confident that this isn't a midrange TV.
I'm getting stuttering in videos while Using apps like netflix , discovery+ , Disney+ etc.
4ak videos on TH-cam causes a lot of stuttering and lag.
I've had the TV lockup and freeze in apps for up to 30 seconds a few times.
When I turn on the TV first thing in the morning brightness on full blast and I have to go in to reduce brightness every time.
When you use an app on the TV android os you get basic settings for picture and sound. When you use an external source you get a popup with various boxes for various settings for the TV. At the home screen you get a different menu system for everything on the TV.
If you can wait and save a bit more money I would suggest buy a different Philips TV in the 8*** series instead.
This TV has a fantastic picture but they seem to have scraped the bottom of the Harrell with the CPU and/ GPU and the menu system is all over the place with it as well as modding some sound and picture settings.
Plus there's no seperate menu system for the TV itself. The picture and sound menus are baked into the android options menu.
You do get a good few options to change colour and gamma settings but it's missing other options for HDR I can't remember the options I had with the 58pus8535) and other picture settings and sound settings.
I got the TV trying to avoid using an external android box but with this thing being so underpowered I'm going to have to use my Homatics Box R 4K which doesn't support Dolby vision or Dolby Atmos
I finally got the PHILIPS 50PUS7906 today. I can tell you with full confidence this is not a mid range TV.
Don't get me wrong the model I got has a VA panel and the picture is really really good on it. The blacks are very dark. Not quite OLED black but they're fat fat darker than IPS black which is grey.
Colours are very vibrant but not over saturated.
In fact it has much better picture than the PHILIPS 58PUS8535 I had which cost €250 more than this
Now I say it's not a mid range TV because it's missing picture features settings.
There's no smooth motion setting. There's various HDR settings missing. The settings for audio and picture are very basic.
Without disabling some system apps that are completely in necessary for Google TV , and a few other tweaks the TV can be very laggy. I now have it fat less laggy but it still lags a bit.
If you get the 7906 TV that has a VA panel then I would class it as a higher level low end TV.
I got the TV for €460 with a 6year warranty here on Ireland but it usually costs just over €500
After using this TV for a few days I'm even more confident that this isn't a midrange TV.
I'm getting stuttering in videos while Using apps like netflix , discovery+ , Disney+ etc.
4ak videos on TH-cam causes a lot of stuttering and lag.
