Outdated Product
A confident mid-range smart TV with a twist in the form of the proprietary Ambilight intelligent backlighting system. It creates the effect of the image extending beyond the 55-inch 4K screen, thereby increasing the fascination of watching broadcasts. LEDs along the three rear edges of the TV body illuminate the wall in those tones of the color palette that predominate in the corresponding areas of the display. The model’s screen also has support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision. The colorful image on the Philips 55PUS8518 display is supported by the surround sound of a 20-watt speaker system with Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. The TV runs under the Google TV operating system and provides content recommendations right on the start screen. In this case, data is transfe...rred to the desktop from all installed applications overnight. As a bonus, users get the opportunity to use the built-in Chromecast and Google Assistant voice assistant. At the back of the TV panel there are mounting holes for a VESA-compatible 200x300 mm bracket for wall mounting of the device.

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Philips 43PUS8518 43" TV offers excellent picture quality and fast performance, making it a great choice for watching movies and gaming with consoles like the PS5 or Nintendo Switch. The standout feature is the Ambilight technology, which enhances the viewing experience significantly. However, it operates at only 60 Hz, which might be a limitation for some users. Additionally, there is a bright light that remains on when the TV is off, which could be bothersome. While the TV has a user-friendly interface, there are concerns about its reliability, as one user reported a significant issue with the screen after just over two years, requiring a costly matrix replacement. Despite these concerns, the TV's features like Chromecast, voice control, and support for HDR10+ and Dolby Vision make it a compelling option for those seeking a feature-rich television.
Pros

Cons

A great TV for watching movies and using with consoles.

The TV is worth attention, used in conjunction with ps5 or nintendo switch
Excellent picture quality, fast performance. The Ambilight technology is simply out of this world, I am now considering only Philips TVs for purchase.
only 60 Hz, but there are TVs in the lineup with this parameter
another downside is the overly bright light that shines when the TV is off, I don’t see any more drawbacks
Mariya Kostenkouse Philips 55PUS8518 more than year
I do not recommend

Do not buy Philips, they are unreliable
Image, user-friendly interface
Purchased the 55PUS85 in December 2021, in March 2024 (2 years and 3 months). 2/3 of the screen lost its image, the service said that a matrix replacement is needed, which costs as much as the TV. And the warranty is only for 2 years. So the TV lasts for 2 years.
