Perfect Pixel Ultra HD
Perfect Pixel Ultra HD

Building on our award winning UHD Picture Quality heritage, we've elevated high-definition Picture Quality to a whole new level. The picture processing algorithms of our Perfect Pixel Ultra HD engine convert any input picture into crisp 4K Ultra HD resolution on your screen. The result? You'll enjoy our deepest blacks and brightest whites, the most vivid colours and natural skin tones, and our most fluid, razor sharp image — every time and from any source.

4K Ultra HD
4K Ultra HD

Ultra HD TV has 4 times the resolution of a conventional Full HD TV. With over 8 million pixels and our unique Ultra Resolution upscaling technology, you'll experience improved images regardless of the original content. Enjoy improved sharpness, increased depth perception, superior contrast, smooth natural motion and flawless details.

Advanced DNR
Advanced DNR

Your TV is an incredible machine…but it's possible that the source you view your content from isn't. Advanced DNR analyses content for imperfections and directs the incoming picture in one of two directions. Images from a good quality source are optimised to the highest level of sharpness and detail imaginable. And those from a poor quality source? They're cleaned of imperfections before being boosted to the quality level of their high-quality counterparts.

Hex Core + Android
Hex Core + Android

The power of Android combined with our Hex Core processing makes streaming Ultra HD films on YouTube effortless and fun. And with Android on your TV, you'll navigate, launch apps and play videos in a way that is super fast, super intuitive and super fun.

TV Content

The Google Play store and Philips app gallery go beyond traditional TV programming to bring you a big online collection of films, TV, music, apps and games. 16 GB of expandable memory means there's plenty of room to store all your favourite content and to install more apps.

Smart Interaction

We've made our new remote controls as fun to use as the Android TVs that they're paired with. Enter text using Google voice* or a full QWERTY keyboard. Say: 'Open YouTube' to launch the app. Swipe through your family photos on our touch-sensitive swipe pad. Or simply use it as a classic remote.

Detachable Speakers
Detachable Speakers

Our detachable sound sticks have a seamless metal body with a polished, dark chrome finish. Ultra-slim and incredibly sleek, the innovative design is unique to Philips: they can be placed to the left and right of the TV screen, or on optional stands to create a wireless sound system.

18 speaker 50 W Sound system

Surround yourself in beautiful sound. The new 8600 series combines the power of two speakers at the back of the TV with 16 microdrivers (in the left and right detachable speakers) to deliver a broad, rich sound spectrum. We crafted the subwoofers from Neodymium, a premium material that creates more volume, better bass response and pure, balanced sound quality.

DTS Premium Sound
DTS Premium Sound

Great TV speakers demand a powerful processing engine that preserves the purity of the original audio content. DTS Premium Suite is designed to deliver the experience consumers have come to expect from high-end sound processing: immersive surround with deep, rich bass and crystal-clear dialogue that's delivered at maximum volume levels and without any fluctuations, clipping or distortion.

Ambilight 4-sided
Ambilight 4-sided

You've created a home that's more than just a house, so why not choose a TV that is warm and inviting too? Our most amazing Ambilight experience ever emits an extra-wide glow around all four sides of your TV onto the surrounding wall. Your screen seems much wider, your experience more enhanced…and your TV appears to float on air. Colour, vibrancy and excitement move beyond the screen and into your living room to bring you a viewing experience beyond the ordinary.

Philips is about to unleash its biggest UK TV range in years – and the 55PUS8601 is a great statement for the brand to lead off with.Its design instantly sets it apart as one of the most glamorous-looking TVs I've seen. It's one of the slimmest around in...
