If the user also has Android installed in his smartphone, then you can \u201cfeel at home\u201d.\u00a0In this case, it will not be difficult to immediately find everything you need.<\/p>\n<p>The operating system on your Philips TV responds quickly and works flawlessly.\u00a0Unlike other TV operating systems, Android offers one of the most comprehensive suite of applications out there.\u00a0Major streaming apps like Amazon Prime Video,\u00a0Netflix\u00a0, Disney +, and YouTube are pre-installed from the factory.<\/p>\n<p>The controls are pretty much intuitive.\u00a0You can control your TV with either the supplied remote control or voice commands via Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid having to enter letters using the onscreen keyboard when using streaming services, you can use a Bluetooth wireless keyboard with touchpad.\u00a0However, you will have to buy it for extra money.<\/p>\n<p>Philips TV receives TV programs via satellite, cable or DVB-T2 antenna.\u00a0The tuner is fast and takes 1-2 seconds to change the program.\u00a0Philips also has PVR and Time Shift (TV program pause) functions.\u00a0All that is needed to record programs is a suitable USB stick or USB external hard drive.<\/p>\n<h3>Sound quality<\/h3>\n<p>Like most flat screen TVs, the 50PUS9006 also has regular audio with clear dialogues but subtle bass.\u00a0The device is equipped with two full-range speakers that output sound through the bottom of the cabinet.\u00a0Each speaker has a power of 10 watts.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds good, but home theater ambience is not to be expected.\u00a0So, music lovers and connoisseurs of sound effects should consider an additional soundbar when watching a movie.\u00a0For example, the Philips B7305 \/ 10 soundbar with 2.1ch sound and 300W output power can make things better.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoreviewer.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/153_techweek.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Image quality<\/h3>\n<p>The 50PUS9006 TV, like the entire PUS9006 series, is equipped with a 4K Ultra HD display with a resolution of 3840 x 2160 pixels.\u00a0All of these models feature Direct LED\u00a0backlighting\u00a0with local dimming.\u00a0The PUS9006 series is equipped with the P5 Perfect Picture Engine with AI (artificial intelligence), which is also used in high-end OLED models.<\/p>\n<p>All three models in the PUS9006 series use the\u00a0VA matrix\u00a0, which has an excellent contrast ratio.\u00a0In addition, the TV has local dimming.\u00a0Therefore, the TV has almost no problems such as poor uniformity or black distortion.\u00a0When viewed in a dark room, the TV displays the ideal picture in terms of color rendition.<\/p>\n<p>However, this panel does not have as wide viewing angles as the IPS panel.\u00a0Colors may fade when viewed from a wide angle, as opposed to perpendicular.\u00a0Like the vast majority of 2021 Philips TVs, the PUS9006 is equipped with all HDR standards from HLG (TV programming) and HDR10 to HGiG (games) and\u00a0HDR10 +\u00a0and Dolby Vision\u00a0dynamic formats\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p>When watching blockbusters in HDR10 or Dolby Vision, the PUS9006 TVs deliver impressive picture quality with vivid colors, high contrast and reasonably good black levels.\u00a0When watching HDR content, the DCI-P3 color gamut is increased from 84% to 94%.<\/p>\n<p>In the series, thanks to the P5 Perfect Picture Engine, the Philips TV PUS9006 uses artificial intelligence.\u00a0The P5 analyzes and optimizes the image in real time.\u00a0Subjects, landscapes and faces are automatically detected and reproduced with optimal color temperature and sharpness.<\/p>\n<p>Faces are given a natural skin tone, but at the same time, without an excessive reddish tint.\u00a0The football field looks luscious green.\u00a0In addition, the image looks sharp even in fast scenes.\u00a0And this is despite the fact that the Philips TV 50PUS9006 has a refresh rate of 50 Hz.<\/p>\n<h3>Ambilight from 4 sides<\/h3>\n<p>The so-called Ambilight is only available from Philips.\u00a0These are hidden LED strips on the back that glow with the colors of the edge pixels.\u00a0Ambilight looks 10-20 inches bigger Ambilight can even be transferred to all lighting with optional Philips\u00a0HUE\u00a0lamps\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-10095\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoreviewer.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/154_techweek.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>Connections<\/h3>\n<p>The patch panel has a very rich assortment of connections.\u00a04 HDMI 2.0 inputs are available for external playback devices such as Blu-Ray players or Sony\u00a0PlayStation 5\u00a0.\u00a0There are also two USB ports, an optical digital output, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the device has an Ethernet-LAN \u200b\u200bRJ-45 line input for connecting to the Internet, as well as antenna outputs and a common CI + interface for pay TV channels.\u00a0As for wireless connections, they can be carried out via Bluetooth 5.0 or Wi-Fi systems.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Philips PUS9006 is equipped with the Android TV 10 operating system, local dimming and Multi-HDR. The TV impresses with its incredibly clear picture quality for both 4K HDR movies and regular TV programs.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is not intended for collective viewing as its viewing angles are not very wide.\u00a0The frame refresh rate is 50 Hz.\u00a0Therefore, Philips PUS9006 is not recommended for gamers playing 4K @ 120Hz games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Philips will re-launch its popular 4K Ambilight TVs in 2021.\u00a0The Philips 50PUS9006 \/ 12 TV series is equipped with a local dimming UHD display, an intelligent Android 10 operating system with voice control and a triple tuner with PVR and time shift.
