Philips OLED811 55" Ambilight (55OLED811) review

Full review

Philips' OLED811 is the most complete mid-range OLED on paper. TP Vision says the 55-inch uses an OLED EX panel with a claimed 2,500-nit peak, runs at up to 165Hz and has four HDMI 2.1 inputs, so it matches the LG C6 for gaming. It also supports every major HDR format, including Dolby Vision 2 Max and HDR10+, something neither LG nor Samsung can say.

The headline feature is Ambilight: LEDs on three sides of the TV project colours from the picture onto your wall. It makes the screen feel bigger and reduces eye strain in a dark room. AmbiScape can also sync up to four smart lights.

The 70W 2.2-channel speaker system is more powerful than most rivals at this size. The weak point is the software. TitanOS covers the main streaming apps, but its app store is smaller than Google TV's, so check your must-have services before buying, or plan to add a streaming stick.

The 55-inch was the first OLED811 size to launch, in June 2026. Coolblue lists it at 14.9kg without the stand and 39mm deep.
