Hello AVForum, I purchased this model after your and other peoples review and shootout tests. I would like to point out a few faults that were present with my units and I think thay are generic design faults. 1) I had picture set to "NIGHT" mode as my room isn't very bright. 2) Sound was set to Expert mode and DTS TruVolume. Every time I turned the TV ON. I had to reselct Night mode and DTSTruVolume again. I notifed Philips of this issue and nearly 10 weeks (21st Jan 2019) later they have offered no solutuion at all. Additionally ISF Day & Night are the only picture modes look normal/natural the rest of the picture options are wast of space & time. Smooth motion definately does not work and in somecses I observed blotches when looking at fast moving objects (tried various motion smoothing combinations no joy at all). I don't belive their 4k upsaceling is working properly either as some HD programmes like "Friends on Ch-4HD came out horribly spotty. Even QVC HD had lot of picture noise present. Could I urge you to relook at this TV if you get an oppertunity but with HD broadcasts and normal programmes and look how this TV perfoms? I am highly dissapointed with Philips with their service. Love to know if other 55 inch-803 owners have noticed performance issues. May purchase Panasonic 802 instead.
I experience the smearing of images on upscaled content as well as ultra 4k netflix content like casa de papel. I played around with the mpeg reduction and motion style but the smearing is still noticeable. Are there soecial settings to prohibit smearing on the 803Oled? It occurs only with fast moving objects and fast scenes indeed, like the p5 processor is having troubled to keep up?
Actually the 803 DOES support Dolby Atmos from Maxdome, and it can support Atmos on other Streaming Services, because it can process and passthrough DD+
Great review One question : can i use the picture settings you recommended for Philips 55POS9002 or it is not the same? If not, could you please post a review with recommended picture setting for this set (ISF day, night and hdr) please? Thanks :)
Philips 803 and 903 are the best image of 2018. The first years after the TPV deal, Philips products went down in quality. A lot has changed the last years and starting with POS 9673 and then 873 and 803. I both C8 and 803 and the 803 sharpness leaves you in awe. Not for serious gaming though, c8 has a much lower input lag. Another drawback is the player built in, not very good for 4k, best to use an external one.
Do any of you experience judder on the 803 oled? How can this be fixed or what are the optimal settings for ultra fluid motion? When watching casa de papel fi the red suits contours on a lighter grey background create a judder effect, like it smears the images around the contour of bodies. Can anyone relate?

you do not own an oled you only have a perception of what it is from forums and videos. Brightness is plenty that I actually have to use half brightness and whites are perfectly fine, on rare occasions people get bad units. burn-in is very hard to get, actually takes effort to achieve.
Why would they ditch on Ambilux technology which is premium then Ambilght on their high end TVs. Here in US these TVs are craze. But they don’t sell them here. I want to order and ship it. Any help in this matter from anyone or Philips?
I had back to back Phillips TVs since 2009 to 2016 and although I love ambilight I was put if by the dirty marks effect while watching sport. Maybe that's improved now under oled but I'm wary to return
i guarantee that first it will be expensive when it is out and then once it is out then there will be problems with the panel for first 2 model revisions.
won’t be out for several more years, won’t be affordable for several years after that and if you think MicroLEd is going to be perfect at launch then you are a fool as no technology is perfect at launch and certainly perfect period. So you are looking at least 3 - 6 years before its affordable and most of the issues are taken care of and you think Oled won’t improve before then?
My parents had a high end phillips led lcd which lasted for 7 years until killed by a lightning bolt hitting the house. I guess it depends from product to product...

philips used lg oled panel
@@СНСАЛЕКСАНДАРВУЧИЋ as did all the other brands in their oled TVs. Not sure what you want to say with that.
@@barygol is gaming really Bad on the 803 compared to the c8 i read some Like the 803 more even with the higher Input lag 39 vs 20? Ms
@@barygol you own also an LG c8 ?

Every OLED review the lack of brightness and lack of true white (blue-ish) strike me. Add the risk of burn in and I'm glad I bought a QLED Q9.
yeah cuz the Q9 is the best led tv... NOT. Should have gone with the ZF9

says a samsung fanboy who posts the same drivel in nearly every damn tv related video.
@@zafert85 Z9 blacks are less black and as with all Sony's colors and highlights are always washed out and overblown
@@ThePhoenixib Really, I've got 8 years of OLED experience. You?
Why would they ditch on Ambilux technology which is premium then Ambilght on their high end TVs. Here in US these TVs are craze. But they don’t sell them here. I want to order and ship it. Any help in this matter from anyone or Philips?
so i should get the older model which is cheaper?
But i can outout any hdr content i want to it from another display right from my pc?
looks beautiful. wish it was in the us.
How is brightnes of oled compared to lcd. Is it much darker (1000 nits)?
yes
I had back to back Phillips TVs since 2009 to 2016 and although I love ambilight I was put if by the dirty marks effect while watching sport. Maybe that's improved now under oled but I'm wary to return
Put off
hello, what format for the removable disc to be able to copy files of more than 4go ?
Why you guys never include gaming tests in your reviews? Console Gaming is very important for most people these days.
Happy 2019
Can you do the Philips 8503 55" and Philips 8303 65"?, Please? :D
The colors dont look realistic
How i control my hz
oled screens do not suffer from screen burning?
They do.
Samsung claims their QLED (note Q not O) don't burn
@@MaximusDerpynes bcs qled is not oled
LG C8 is £1185 Philips 803 is £1299. Is the Philips worth the extra cash?
If it was us, we would go with the C8 as it has better SmartTV and app support, slightly better picture quality and a nice design.
@@avforums okay thanks for the reply
Nice review!
One to avoid then. Clearly no investment on software on current TV. What happens in two years from now?
Isn’t this the 903?
No, it's the 803. The 903 has the B&W soundbar.
Does the 903 have a better picture quality?
Not jjudder setup... Very minus
No for OLED only micro LED!
i guarantee that first it will be expensive when it is out and then once it is out then there will be problems with the panel for first 2 model revisions.

Philips simply years behind haha
We would disagree and you should really try and see one of their OLED TVs.
Oled? No thx these the type of tvs you have to baby sit due to burn in..
Bullshit!
baby sit what? just watch tv like normal and try to avoid not watching too much news(shouldn't be hard to do)
Every philips product i've ever bought has failed within 3 years.
So I can expect 75+“ in 2021... excellent!

Every Philips product I've ever bought has never failed. Now what?
My 2014 Lg 4k tv fucked out after a bit more than 3 years..
I still have a philips 9731 more than 10 years old and the only problem is that half of the ambilight stopped working!
Lost me at android.
