Today it is difficult to choose a decent TV from a huge number of equipment. Many people prefer the technique of brands. My eyes fell on the Philips 65PUS6412 with a 65-inch diagonal, Smart TV, 4K resolution. Its price is 65,500 rubles.
This model participates in rating of the best TVs 58-65 inches and in Best 4K UHD TVs.
Screen
Ultra-slim LED-backlit TV with 3-sided Ambilight. The technology visually expands the boundaries of the screen, enhances the viewing experience by projecting a halo of light on three sides, and increases the brightness and saturation of colors. Diagonal - 65 inches, resolution - 4K Ultra HD (3840 × 2160 pixels). Viewing angle - 178º. HDR enhances contrast, color reproduction for greater detail across the entire image. The screen feels impressive, suitable for watching movies, playing games on a console. Image on a solid "four". The backlight looks amazing in the evening.
This model has an advanced VA matrix on par with Samsung and LG. Highlights are minimal. The color on the screen looks less bright, contrasting and oversaturated than the Samsung UE58NU7100 or at LG 60UK6200from which the eyes get tired.
Appearance
Dimensions - 1462 × 854 × 87 mm. The screen looks fragile. The diagonal is 65 inches. The small TV frames are made of plastic. A neat, comfortable stand, included is a wall hanging - VESA 200 × 200 mm. The connectors on the rear panel are slightly recessed; in the suspended position, there may be problems with connecting devices. You need to connect cables to the connectors in advance.
Connectors
Many TVs are losing ground on connectors. Manufacturers keep them to a minimum. Plasma Philips 65PUS6412 has a component input, 4 HDMI connectors on the back panel and one on the front, MHL, 2 USB on the back and one on the front, Ethernet (RJ-45), optical output. It is possible to connect a large number of peripheral devices.
Sound
The TV has two built-in speakers with a total power of 20 W (2 x 10 W) with surround sound. But the sound is very quiet: it feels like it's from a dictaphone. The sound of the TV loses much to the Chinese TV Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 65, where manufacturers have provided and equipped additional acoustics, and the price of the model is 3 thousand rubles less. Sound from speakers without add-ons - 4 points out of 5.
Functions
4-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor, 2 GB RAM, runs on Android. Built-in memory - 16 GB. But Smart TV on such a platform may not satisfy everyone: the uncomfortable Android TV interface sometimes slows down video playback. Among the functions - TimeShift (you can pause any of the TV programs available to you and start later to continue watching), DLNA (a set of standards that allow compatible devices to transmit and receive media content over a home network, display it in real time), can record video to USB-storage, child protection, built-in Wi-Fi receiver, Bluetooth. Easily stream videos from any device. The set comes with a remote control with a Russian keyboard.
Advantages
- large diagonal - 65 inches;
- modern matrix;
- Ambilight technology;
- good image quality;
- TimeShift, DNLA functions;
- a large number of connectors;
- operating system Android;
- Beautiful design;
- Russian keyboard.
disadvantages
- insufficient sound quality;
- unfinished Android;
- recessed rear panel connectors.
Verdict
A very controversial model: beautiful picture, but the sound leaves much to be desired; convenient functionality, but unfinished Android platform. When choosing a plasma, you will have to make a decision, which you are willing to sacrifice, but this is a problem of many models from a relatively budget segment. The perfect technique is hard to find. Have Samsung UE58NU7100 too oversaturated colors, which cause tired eyes, LG 60UK6200 few connectors, low-quality plastic, and in Xiaomi Mi TV 4A 65 language differences may arise. But if you have additional acoustics or you are going to buy a home theater, and you consider the shortcomings of Smart TV a minor disadvantage, then you can buy the Philips 65PUS6412.
