Editorial note

The Philips 55PFL5601 is a television that offers impressive picture quality thanks to its 4K Ultra HD resolution, ensuring an immersive viewing experience. Its high contrast ratio of 1200:1, combined with a viewing angle of 178°, allows for vibrant colors and optimal image clarity from different angles. Additionally, the PMR (Perfect Motion Rate) technology of 120 Hz enhances the fluidity of images, making action scenes sharper. However, several drawbacks should be considered. This model lacks Smart TV features, thus limiting access to streaming apps and the Internet, which may seem outdated compared to other modern televisions. Furthermore, although the response time of 16 ms is reasonable, it may not satisfy users sensitive to performance for video games or fast-paced content. The audio power of 20 W may also be insufficient for immersive sound experiences in larger spaces. In terms of connectivity, the absence of DVI ports may restrict options for some users wishing to connect specific equipment. The weight of 15 kg (without the stand) may also complicate transport and installation, especially for one person. Despite these drawbacks, the Philips 55PFL5601 is a good choice for those seeking a quality visual experience, with good value for money. The audio equalizer feature with 5 bands also allows for sound adjustment according to personal preferences, while the provided documentation makes it easy to set up and use the product.
