Philips AmbiLux Halo 5 at Harrods Footage taken at the Harrods press launch of the new 65-inch Ambilight TV from Philips. The AmbiLux uses rear-mounted projectors to throw lighting effects that copy or compliment the image on the screen.
The Philips AmbiLux television was officially launched as a Harrods exclusive last night at the Knightsbridge store.
An extremely small group of tech journalists were treated to experience what Philips is calling “the ultimate immersive viewing experience”.
The new 65-inch 4K Ultra HD AmbiLux TV, or Philips 65PUS8901 to give it its Sunday name, is a Harrods exclusive when it goes on sale this spring.
AmbiLux represents a new level for the existing award-winning Philips Ambilight system which uses LEDs on the rear of the TV to create a coloured halo of light on the wall behind.
The continually changing colours precisely match the on-screen content to create the impression of a much larger image and to provide a more enjoyable viewing experience.
The new AmbiLux technology takes this concept even further, with actual on-screen images now also displayed – and extended up to three meters – behind the set by using nine pico-projectors, each precisely positioned on the rear of the AmbiLux TV.
Add to that the AmbiLux’s 4K Ultra HD chops, which has four times the resolution of a conventional Full HD TV, partnered with the unique Ultra Resolution upscaling technology, you get pin sharp images with stunning colour.
The Philips AmbiLux TV is powered by Android TV TM and certified by Google, giving access to all TV orientated apps, services, and content in the Google Play Store while also complementing the existing Philips Smart TV offering.
Under the hood is a Hex Core processor which, when paired with the advanced remote control with QWERTY keyboard, swipe pad and speech recognition technology, you get seamlessly smooth and swift navigation through all the menus and channels.
Even with the projectors in the back, the AmbiLux has been beautifully engineered to maintain a razor-slim, elegant form.
European design and premium materials ensure a high quality finish with the ultra-narrow bezel achieving a seamless connection to the Ambilight halo. I really like the the polished chrome Bladewire stand which manages to create the effect that the telly is almost floating.
Whilst at the launch the Harrods team had an Xbox One hooked to the AmbiLux which gave us a great excuse to test out the 8901’s dedicated game mode.

OLED
With deeper, richer colors and stunning contrast, LG CURVED OLED TV is unlike any television you've ever seen. It uses breakthrough technology to deliver a picture that exceeds your wildest imagination, in a bold new hardware design. LG Smart TV with Wi-Fi is built-in too, for endless premium content and an acclaimed user interface made possible by the LG Magic Remote.
Presented at CEDIA on September 26th, 2013, LG is proud to announce the 55EA9800 Curved OLED has won the CE Pro BEST award in the Flat Panel TV/Ultra HD Category! It joins an exclusive group of products deemed the most noteworthy in the consumer electronics industry.
VIVID COLOR
LG’s 4 Color Pixel technology adds a white sub-pixel to the conventional 3 color red, green and blue that enhances both color range and accuracy. This considerably improves the OLED pixels’ ability to express the realistic colors and represents a giant step ahead of conventional displays. The 4 Color Pixel is LG’s unique innovation for the next generation OLED TV.
FULLER COLOR GAMUT
As the first display technology that allows self-lighting pixels to switch on and off individually, OLED offers the first "Infinite" contrast ratio. Contrast ratio measures the range from the brightest whites on the screen to the darkest blacks. Higher is better, and "Infinite" has been impossible...until now. The deep blacks will seem to melt away, for a greater sense of realism and depth on all content.
STUNNINGLY CURVED
LG's remarkably thin CURVED OLED TV opens up a whole new possibility of style and design with a depth of only 4.5mm thick at its thinnest point. The brilliant technology of OLED enables a simpler internal structure than conventional displays. With just two layers, the LG CURVED OLED TV is unbelievably lightweight and wafer-thin.
