The best TV ingredients, made compact
If you want an OLED TV (and why wouldn’t you with its renowned picture quality) but need something smaller, Philips have the answer. The Philips 42OLED809 combines a compact OLED screen with the latest Ambilight Intelligence V3 for a crisp, immersive picture. Ideal for smaller rooms or even as a luxury desktop TV, this Philips delivers all that’s best about the OLED format, just on a smaller scale.

Ambilight Intelligence V3 for the smartest backlighting
Philips unique Ambilight technology is now better than ever. The latest Ambilight Intelligence V3 uses a light senor to adapt the ambient lighting to best suit the room, helping HDR images hit harder in brighter rooms. With lighting around three sides of this Philips 42 inch TV, colour from the picture is cast into the room – in real time. Colour, vibrancy and excitement move beyond the screen and into your living room, bringing you a viewing experience beyond the ordinary.

Enhanced processing via Philips’s latest P5 AI Gen 8 processor
Philips’s latest P5 Gen 8 processor works hard in the background to deliver the most lifelike images – whatever the content. Using deep-learning AI algorithms, it processes images that appear the most natural to the human eye. It also monitors light levels in the room and adjusts the TV’s brightness, gamma and colour, in real time, to further optimise the image.

Made for the movie buff
Nothing beats the big screen thrill of IMAX and now, thanks to IMAX enhanced, you can enjoy the power of IMAX on your TV, too. Used with IMAX certified 4K HDR content, IMAX Enhanced uses their proprietary digital remastering technology (DMR) to deliver ultra-vivid images. Designed in collaboration with filmmakers and studios, Filmmaker Mode lets you experience the cinematic vision, exactly as the director intended. Overriding the TV’s own motion and picture processing, Filmmaker Mode presents the correct aspect ratio, colour and frame rate – just as the filmmakers intended.

Multi-format HDR support, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+
As well as IMAX Enhanced, the Philips 42OLED809 also offers Dolby Vision and multi-format HDR, including HDR10+. Along with Dolby Vision, 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.

The best features for gaming
Although this a native 120Hz TV, the Philips 42OLED809 supports the increasingly popular 4K/144Hz gaming option. Other highlights include Dolby Vision gaming, bringing a truly cinematic feel to your gameplay. It’s also compatible with VRR (Variable refresh Rate), AMD FreeSync and Nvidia G-Sync systems, giving you super-smooth gameplay on a wide range of consoles and PCs. Unique to Philips, Ambilight’s gaming mode brings another dimension of immersion. A new Game Bar lets you customise and enhance your gaming experience via onscreen menu settings.

Google TV
Using Google’s world-class interface, Google TV makes accessing this Philips TV’s smart features a breeze. Providing access to over 700,000 movies and TV episodes and over 10,000 apps and games, Google TV covers all the Smart entertainment you need. With access to Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Apple TV and Disney+, all your favourite streaming services are covered. Customise your home screen with the apps you use the most, enjoy recommendations, curate your movie nights and even add to your watch list via your smartphone – Google TV makes sense of Smart TV.

Compatible with DTS Play-Fi Home Theatre
The Philips 42OLED809 is compatible with the innovative DTS Play-Fi Home Theatre system. When using the DTS Play-Fi app, this lets you integrate the TV into a home cinema speaker system, using the TV as the centre channel should you wish. Wireless surround sound doesn’t get much easier or more flexible than this.

Voice control with built-in Google Assistant and works with Alexa
Working via the built-in Google TV system, Google Assistant helps you find content, apps and even controls compatible smart home devices, such as the Philips Hue lighting system. All this is available by simple voice command. Alternatively, connect your Amazon Echo or similar Alexa device and use voice commands via Alexa (Works with Alexa).

Super-sleek design
Encircled by an ultra-slim metal bezel, this Philips TV looks sleek and unobtrusive. The satin chrome swivel stand not only completes the classic style but also proves practical too, letting you turn the TV for the best viewing angle.

Experience the brilliance of OLED, from a smaller TV, with the Philips 42OLED809.
