Seriously improved Philips P5 image processor

Last year's flagship Philips OLED TVs were impressive in terms of brightness and detail. The second technological leap in 2 years is too much, so in 2020 the company's engineers focused on improving what is already there. Namely, the refinement of the Philips P5 processor, which is responsible for numerous software image enhancements, automatic brightness-contrast adjustment and other features that distinguish a top-end TV from just a good panel. Phillips says they trained the neural network on millions of different images and taught it much better to classify content on the screen (for example, nature, people, cars, etc.), adjusting the image based on the classification.

Dynamic Scene Index 5700 PPI

As with last year's OLED panels from the company, the TV really shines when you turn on HDR10+ or Dolby Vision. The image is very bright and colorful, the black colour is really black, and neighboring elements of the image can seriously contrast with each other. The index of dynamic scenes, which is achieved through Picture Performance Index technology, is also impressive. The image on the screen looks amazing, although without proper calibration it can go into acid shades. So we advise you to spend time adjusting the picture. Moreover, Phillips itself has equipped the TV with a “before and after” comparison mode, thanks to which you can evaluate the quality of processing and understand whether it has become better. In addition, there is a "director's mode", which disables any processing showing exactly the picture that the director intended. What's happening on the screen is emphasized by Ambilight's signature background lighting, which adjusts the colour of the external lighting on the wall to match what's happening on the screen.

Only 60Hz in 4K resolution

On other fronts, the Philips 65OLED805 doesn't surprise, but it doesn't disappoint either. 50-watt acoustics sound more interesting than a year ago, thanks to the changed direction of the speakers, the bass is more distinct and weighty. The only pity is that they did not add support for HDMI 2.1, which is why at 4K resolution the TV is not able to display a scan above 60 Hz. Plus, due to the amount of information being processed, the video signal output delay can reach 30ms or even higher, so playing dynamic games even at lower resolutions on 65OLED805 is not very comfortable.
