To recap

You’ll know if you think Ambilight is gimmicky or not and that, realistically, is likely to dictate whether this TV is for you. When we buy that (imaginary) arty chateau in the hills we’d be tempted to opt for this talking point TV beyond some of its peers, because it’s a design delight that, finally, shows Philips has caught up with where it needs to be in terms of 4K.
