Premium quality, 55 inch TV
With its impressive selection of picture enhancements, including the brilliant OLED Micro Lens Array and Ambilight, the Philips 55OLED908 is a strong contender for the best TV in its class. As a 55 inch model, it won’t dominate your room, either, making this an ideal choice for a more discreet TV. Sound by Bowers & Wilkins and the latest Google TV make this Philips 55 inch TV hard to resist.
Micro Lens Array (MLA) technology for incredible picture brightness
Featuring MLA (Micro Lens Array) technology, the Philips 55OLED908 delivers sensational picture brightness. MLA uses a layer of tiny lenses to improve the screen’s focus. Enhanced brightness brings images to life, with more realistic and natural colour. Brighter screens also perform better in daytime lighting, letting you see more detail then you otherwise would with a conventional OLED screen. A further bonus is the wider viewing angle, giving everyone in the room a more natural picture.
Enhanced by Ambilight
With such intense colour and brightness, Philips’s unique multi-mode Ambilight technology takes full advantage of the MLA OLED screen. Using intelligent LEDs around the sides and top of the 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.
Embedded sound by Bowers & Wilkins
With sound by Bowers & Wilkins, you can be assured of a top-class audio performance. Bowers & Wilkins are a premium brand, making some of the finest at home and in-car hi-fi speakers. Discreetly placed beneath the screen and behind a classy, Kvadrat fabric grille, the speaker array projects the sound deep into your room. A dedicated centre channel makes sense of dialogue, while the built-in subwoofer delivers the punch. Dolby Atmos processing makes the most of your compatible movies.
Compatible with DTS Play-Fi Home Theatre – just add wireless speakers for surround sound
For added versatility, the Philips 55OLED908 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 wireless home cinema speaker system, using the TV as the centre channel. Wireless surround sound doesn’t get much easier or more flexible than this.
Optimised processing, with Philips’s 7th Gen P5 AI
Philips’s latest P5 processor works in tandem with the Google TV Smart TV operating system and uses AI to optimise the picture quality from all sources. It monitors light levels in the room and adjusts the TV’s brightness, gamma and colour, in real time, to optimise the image. The processor also offers Eye Care, Dark Detail Optimisation and Colour Temperature Optimisation modes, for a bespoke viewing experience.
IMAX Enhanced and Filmmaker Mode for a cinematic performance
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+ for a stunning picture from all sources
As well as IMAX Enhanced, the Philips 55OLED908 also offers Dolby Vison 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.
Incredible gaming features, including Dolby Vision Gaming
As one of the first TVs to feature the innovative MediaTek Pentonic 1000 chipset, this Philips TV is incredible with gaming. Highlights include Dolby Vision gaming at up to 4k/120Hz, 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.

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.

Stylish, flexible design
With its ultra-slim bezel and Danish fabric speaker grille, the Philips 55OLED908 has a subtle, classic design that will stand the test of time. Thanks to its compact centre stand, it’s also highly practical – fitting on furniture that’s much narrower than the TV itself. The latest remote control is slimmer and simpler to use than before and now features USB recharging.
