That's interesting. A friend had told me that Philips TVs had become just another licensing badge for cheap products (a bit like Polaroid). But after doing a bit of Googling, it looks like they still have a good reputation, in spite of being sold to a Chinese firm. Are they a similar level to HiSense or better? The info out there is a bit confusing because Philips TVs sold in North America are made by a completely different firm.

Apparently Vestel in Turkey have been making low and mid range Panasonic TVs for a while and now the high end stuff is being made for them by TCL in China.

Ooooh, I wonder how you use these:
I had all of them.
Samsung gets my vote, closely followed by sony.
In the old days Philips was unbeatable for picture quality, not anymore.

Years ago I worked for Currys, their own brand at the time was Matsui, not sure if anyone on here remembers it? A fair share of Matsui stuff was pants, however some stuff (I remember one particular VCR) had quite a few decent quality main components inside from well known brands, however the product was cheaper than anything of the same spec.

£129 for an nvidia shield from amazon to make your TV like new again in the apps department? I still use a panasonic plasma. I want to upgrade but only for the energy saving. I would go for an LG OLED C1 or C2 and still use the nvidia shield!

Go over to the AVforums where the bods know their stuff. Just have a budget in mind.
