PRODUCT: 65in 4K OLED TV with Atmos and Ambilight
POSITION: The 65OLED935 is Philips’ current flagship OLED TV
PEERS: LG OLED65CX; Sony KD-65A8
PHILIPS HAS LONG understood the importance of video processing to TV performance, and the addition of OLED to its portfolio has seen processing prowess come into its own like never before. Why? Because with practically every OLED TV from every brand built around the same core panel, image quality differences are hugely dependent on brand-specific tuning. And no OLED TV I’ve seen before makes this more apparent than Philips' 65OLED935.
This is the high-end model in Philips’ 2020 OLED range, something obvious from its slinky, metallic design, four-sided Ambilight system, and chunky external 3.1.2-channel sound ‘enclosure’ that also doubles as the screen’s desktop stand. If you opt for an on-wall installation, a separate bracket – included in the package – lets you keep the speaker in place just below the screen.
Describing the soundbar/stand as chunky does it a disservice. The front edge sports an attractive grey Kvadrat cloth finish, and its angular sculpting is much easier on the eye than most TV 'stands’. The metallic top edge is broken at its centre by a top-mounted tweeter, an attractive and bold reminder that the OLED935 is the latest collaboration between Philips and Bowers & Wilkins, which pioneered the tweeter-on-top concept.
