These are the characteristics that make Philips 50PUS8505 one of the most interesting proposals you can find if you have a tighter budget.

Philips 50PUS8505: THE AMBILIGHT EXPERIENCE

If you already know the Philips universe, it will not surprise you that one of its most recognizable hallmarks is light. Specifically, the LED light strips that their televisions have on the back of the equipment to create a unique experience. The magic of these lights is that they are able to follow the action that occurs on the television in real time and spread the colors towards the wall or the furniture where we have the television. By looking for a simile, the result is a feeling of warmth similar to what you can experience in front of a fireplace.

In addition, the lights do not remain in their ability to follow the action of the TV. You can also configure them to follow the sound (and liven up your living room with a light-filled party) or create a lounge atmosphere in your most intimate gatherings. TVs in the 8505 The One range feature Ambilight on three sides (top and sides).

SURROUND SOUND WITH DOLBY ATMOS

Despite being a television that lives between the input range and the mid-range, the Dutch company has not wanted to forget about the sound section. Philips 50PUS8505 televisions incorporate a double speaker system with 10W power . Although it is a step below the performance that your Philips 805 Oled can have, this system is compatible with Dolby Atmos , which means that we will enjoy a more immersive experience with the feeling that the sound really moves through space with objects in the scene.
