Philips unveils flagship OLED TVs for 2022

1 / 8

Philips has taken the wraps off its flagship OLED TV models for 2022, topped by the 4K Philips OLED+937. The new models come in 65in and 77in sizes and feature a number of new features and improvements.

Chief among these is the fact that the OLED+937 uses LGs latest OLED EX Royal panel technology, which delivers much higher peak brightness levels than traditional OLED panels. In fact, with brightness levels reaching 30% more than before, the OLED+937 comes closer than ever to matching the brightness levels of LED-based TVs reaching an astonishing maximum of 1,300nits. Moreover, Philips says image retention is much improved thanks to the introduction of a special heatsink.

Philips has also tweaked its dual-chip AI-based P5 Picture Engine system, now into its sixth generation, with an advanced tone mapping and an automatic white balance adjustment feature. The latter works a little like Apples True Tone, matching the white point on screen with the white point of the room youre watching in.

In addition to picture quality improvements, the OLED+937s integrated soundbar has been significantly upgraded for 2022. Building on the 3.1.2 channel system from 2021s OLED+936, the OLED+937 has an all-new speaker setup with a 5.1.2 channel configuration and 95W of power output.

Its still built elegantly into the TVs stand and still features Bowers & Wilkins trademark tweeter on top, but with new side-firing drivers and a 100 x 65mm woofer the soundscape should be broader and deeper than it was previously.

The OLED+937 isnt the only new flagship TV Philips is bringing to market in 2022, however. Its joined by the OLED+907, which comes in 48in, 55in and 65in screen sizes and also has a built-in Bowers & Wilkins soundbar, although this isnt quite as impressive as the OLED+937s, with only 80W of power output and no side-firing drivers.

The lineup is completed by the Mini-LED set the PML9507 which comes in 55in, 65in and 77in screen sizes. The Mini-LED set has no soundbar but a higher claimed peak brightness of 1,500nits, a 120Hz VA panel, FreeSync Premium compatibility and 4K 120VRR playback.
