Product Information
Covering every base, the Philips 50PUS8897 is ‘the one’ TV that excels with whatever you watch.
Unique 3-sided Ambilight for expansive viewing
With increased colour accuracy and detail, Philips’ unique Ambilight system is more impressive than ever. The 3-sided Ambilight uses intelligent LEDs around the top and sides the TV, casting colour from the picture into the room – in real time. Colour, vibrancy and excitement move beyond the screen and into your living room to bring you a viewing experience beyond the ordinary, with this extraordinary Philips 50 inch TV.
Philips P5 Perfect Picture Engine delivers stunning image quality
With punchy processing power, the Philips P5 (Gen 5) Engine delivers the ideal picture – whatever the source. Enjoy deep blacks, bright whites, the most vivid, brilliant colours and natural, lifelike skin tones. You also get Philips’ most fluid, razor sharp pictures with incredible detail and depth, in sport, movie, or any other genres - every time and from any source.
Multi-format HDR support, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+ for a stunning picture from all sources
For wide-ranging picture enhancement, the Philips 50PUS8897 offers Dolby Vison and multi-format HDR support. This includes the sophisticated HDR10+. HDR10+ offers scene-by-scene HDR mastering for the truest, most accurate HDR picture technology. Each scene is optimised, meaning the maximum amount of detail is shown – even in the brightest or darkest moments.
Gaming made better
The 50PUS8897 models take Philips’ expertise with gaming to an even higher level. Game Bar lets you adjust the picture settings whilst gaming is in progress. With support for VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and 4K@120Hz refresh rate, you get a great gaming experience with exceptionally low input lag. Unique to Philips, Ambilight’s gaming mode brings another dimension of immersion.
Dolby Atmos compatible sound
