Ambilight for maximum immersion

If we say that the Philips 55PUS8848 TV provides excellent immersion to its users, it is mostly because of the Ambilight technology that it is equipped with. This function, exclusive to Philips models, can present a colored halo on three sides on the back wall of the screen thanks to a system of LED bars. The projected colors adapt to the broadcast program, giving more depth to the series or film being watched. So immersion is maximized, especially if the room is plunged into darkness.

Ambilight doesn’t do everything and the screen has to be just right for the experience to be successful. Mission accomplished here with this 55-inch 4K panel framed by ultra-slim bezels. If this diagonal is enough to fully enjoy your favorite content, Ambilight will still be able to expand the user’s visual field, which does not offend us.
