Affordable and eco-friendly
The 2023 Philips Series 7 is a 43-inch entry-level TV. The model fits easily into any interior and is positioned as an eco-solution: its packaging is made from recycled cardboard.
High detail and contrast
Philips 43PUS7608 will please viewers with a clear picture, because it has a resolution of 3840x2160 pixels, and the Pixel Precise Ultra HD processor scales content with less detail. An important advantage of the image is a good level of contrast, which leaves a more pleasant impression of the video sequence, especially useful when viewing dark scenes.
The model also supports HDR10+ and Dolby Vision formats, but this is not a very significant advantage due to the modest brightness reserve, which is insufficient for displaying rich HDR content.
Gaming Monitor Replacement
The TV matrix has a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz, which is too low for demanding gamers. However, the TV is definitely suitable for casual games, as it has HDMI 2.1 ports with support for iconic profile functions. For example, ALLM automatically activates the game mode, and VRR adjusts the frame rate, providing comfortable gameplay without jerks and freezes.
Smart features
The operating platform is the Philips Smart TV shell based on Linux. It works correctly and quickly, supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice assistants, but the included remote control does not have a microphone, so voice commands require an intermediary - an application on a smartphone or a smart speaker. Popular multimedia services (YouTube, Netflix, etc.) are pre-installed on the TV, but the choice of applications for downloading is quite modest.
The TV's downside is the lack of Bluetooth, and its downsides include the not-so-up-to-date 4th-generation Wi-Fi module. Its bandwidth is often insufficient for stable 4K content broadcasts. Otherwise, the Philips 43PUS7608 is a decent option for watching movies and playing casual games.
