Manual of product 55PFL4901
Editorial note
The Philips 55PFL4901 television offers an immersive visual experience thanks to its 55-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) screen, ideal for enjoying movies and series. Its PMR (Perfect Motion Rate) technology of 120 Hz ensures optimal image fluidity, particularly appreciated for fast-moving content such as sports events. Additionally, the high contrast ratio of 1200:1 enriches colors and enhances display quality. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to streaming applications and the Internet, which can restrict the user experience. Furthermore, the Full HD resolution may seem insufficient in light of the rise of 4K models on the market. The audio power of 20 W may not be enough for larger rooms, potentially requiring the addition of external speakers. Regarding connectivity, the Philips 55PFL4901 has 3 HDMI ports and 1 USB port, facilitating the integration of various multimedia devices. However, the absence of USB 3.0 ports limits data transfer speeds, which can be a disadvantage for some users. Finally, the modern design of the television fits well into any environment, but its weight of about 16.7 kg with the stand can make installation more difficult, requiring the assistance of several people. In summary, the Philips 55PFL4901 is a good choice for a quality visual and audio experience, but it is important to consider its limitations in terms of connected features and sound power.Score details
