Expert review of the Philips OLED807 (2022)

When I first look at the Philips OLED807, I notice the great, modern stand right away. The long stand with the sleek design fits in well with a modern interior. The bezel around the screen is very thin, so it seems like I'm seeing the image only. The television includes a gray remote.

I notice the vibrant colors right away when I watch a nature documentary. The green grass is really green, just like the bright blue water. The 10-bit color panel and the HDR support make the image look really lifelike. I recognize different tones of green in the lawn and I can distinguish various details in the clouds.

OLED televisions display a strong contrast. I notice this right away when I watch an image of the universe. The colorful globe stands out against the pitch-black universe. The OLED screen has pixels that light up or dim individually. Thanks to this, the pixels can turn themselves off. As a result, the universe is really dark. In combination with the natural and bright colors of the TV, this provides a strong contrast.

The Philips OLED807 has a good viewing angle, just like most OLED televisions. When I look at the screen from an angle, the image stays clearly visible. I do notice reflections of light from this angle. I'd recommend you to put the TV in a spot without light coming right at it to avoid bothering reflections.

The Philips OLED807 has a good audio system. The TV has 2 speakers and a built-in subwoofer. Thanks to this, you can enjoy the low bass too while you watch movies, series, or concerts. The bass guitar will come out better during a concert compared to without a subwoofer. This TV also supports the Dolby Atmos technique. This technique reflects the sound to your listening position via the ceiling. Thanks to this, you'll hear the plane flying across the screen fly over your head. For a really immersive listening experience, you should buy an external soundbar with subwoofer.

The smart menu of the Philips OLED807 is very clear thanks to the screen-filling design. All apps that I like to use are displayed on top. Suggested movies or series from apps like Netflix are listed on my main screen, which makes it easy to navigate through my favorite content.

The included Philips remote is of good quality. The remote feels comfortable in my hand and feels sturdy. The layout of the remote is quite busy in my opinion. The buttons are very close to each other, which is why I often push the wrong button. I do like the buttons specially for Netflix and Amazon Prime on the remote. These allow you to navigate to content of these apps very quickly.
