Philips\u00a0\u00a0brings new televisions for this year, which since its announcement have generated interest because they promise to be better alternatives and compete in different categories.\u00a0Today we analyze what the\u00a0Philips 43PUS8507\/12\u00a0offers , a model that at first glance seems common, but as we delve into the technical section we notice certain valuable details, although for obvious reasons there will be not so positive points, therefore, we invite you to continue reading this article to know in detail what this model offers.<\/p>\n

Philips 43PUS8507\/12 exterior design<\/h2>\n
\"Philips<\/a>
Philips PUS8507 is an attractive TV<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We have a physically attractive TV that shows nice details on a general level<\/p>\n

Aesthetically, the\u00a0Philips 43PUS8507\u00a0does not present many changes compared to previously seen versions.\u00a0It might seem like something negative, but we are talking about an aspect that has aged in a good way and it seems acceptable to us that they continue to use it to maintain a nice line.<\/p>\n

Mention that it has total dimensions of\u00a0558.2 x 962.8 x 77.1 mm\u00a0for a\u00a0\u00a043-inch\u00a0TV .\u00a0These data indicate that it will be a good option if you have a room or room both medium and smaller.\u00a0In both cases it integrates correctly and gives a better view.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that if we acquire the VESA support and place it with the television, the depth increases, but the space we require does not change much.\u00a0As for the weight, we find 10.8 kilograms,\u00a0thus being a light equipment\u00a0, but it does require extra help.<\/p>\n

Being a mid-range model, the construction materials are of a regular quality, that is, it is not bad, but it is not the best either, therefore, we must be careful when trying to move the television.\u00a0It has a black chassis that usually integrates well with the environment\u00a0.<\/p>\n

We would have preferred to have a variety of colors, but for now this is only available for the 8507 series. Reviewing in detail, we define that the front has the most attractive in terms of aesthetics due to its\u00a0thin bezels\u00a0capable of generating a better presence and elegance.<\/p>\n

Likewise, having a thin frame allows the useful space on the screen to be greater.\u00a0The rear part is nice as it does not have such a large bulky space\u00a0, so we have an overall slim TV that has better integration in any environment.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

We have a complete connector box that has the essential ports.\u00a0Proof of this are its four\u00a0HDMI 2.0\u00a0inputs \u00a0, perfect for connecting external devices and sending their signal to the TV.\u00a0We also have two\u00a0\u00a0USB\u00a0, one in version 3.0 that we can use to play or record content.<\/p>\n

In addition, we have other very useful physical connections such as its\u00a0Ethernet\u00a0port that allows us to connect to the Internet through the network cable, although this forces us to have the television very close.\u00a0We observe interesting options that also fulfill a specific function.<\/p>\n

Here we have the two most used options of the moment, which ensures a good wireless experience.\u00a0For starters, we have\u00a0\u00a0Wi-Fi Direct\u00a0to use the internet from a distance.\u00a0In addition, we have\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0that allows us to connect external devices.<\/p>\n

At the level of tuners, we have a wide variety for a very complete channel scan. You can check the ones included in the specifications table.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the Philips 43PUS8507<\/h2>\n

We arrive at the most important aspect, the image that the\u00a0Philips 43PUS8507\/12\u00a0contains , which we must say we find regular for reasons that we will mention.\u00a0First of all, we have a 4K resolution that by power seeks to give visual details with a certain realism.<\/p>\n

The downside ends up being the inclusion of a\u00a0\u00a0Direct LED\u00a0backlight that sadly lacks local dimming, which these days seems sorely needed for a pleasing viewing experience.\u00a0The lack of such technology makes the TV have problems.<\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that it has a\u00a0\u00a0VA\u00a0panel , which provides some advantages regarding the image.\u00a0Among the most striking we have better levels in terms of contrast and brightness, so that the blacks and whites are slightly deep.\u00a0Also, there will be no obvious light leaks.<\/p>\n

However, we found colors to be displayed less faithfully and accurately.\u00a0Another detail to keep in mind is that the viewing angles are not the best, but thanks to the integration of certain technologies, the final result improves a bit and we see a better image.<\/p>\n

These functions focus your work on essential parameters such as color, contrast, brightness and even saturation.\u00a0The change will not be incredible, but we did notice a slight difference that turns out to be positive.\u00a0Also comment that it has compatibility with\u00a0\u00a0HDR10 +\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HLG\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

The power in the speakers does not seem to be adequate due to the fact that it only includes 20W,\u00a0\u00a0which is still normal in the mid-range\u00a0, however, we note that most current content requires a higher quality so that we can at least hear with clarity and precision. .<\/p>\n

What saves the sound is the inclusion of several technologies that provide an immersive\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0precise\u00a0experience , especially in the dialogues and the ambient sound that, as a rule, is what most affects this category due to the little audio available.\u00a0Therefore, it is not a negative thing.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h2>\n

It offers Android TV, a system that stands out for the variety of features it offers<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Philips 43PUS8507\u00a0\u00a0includes\u00a0Android 11\u00a0, a system that we stand out for the huge catalog of applications it contains, and this is because it has the Play Store that allows us to install more than 7,000 options,\u00a0\u00a0obviously the most popular platforms will be\u00a0available .<\/p>\n

We also have the ability to download music, movies and games to enjoy on the TV.\u00a0Another benefit is the inclusion of\u00a0\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Alexa\u00a0, two assistants that allow us to control certain functions using only the voice.\u00a0Thus we enjoy a better order of certain characteristics.<\/p>\n

There will be other interesting functions that improve the user experience, likewise, it has a\u00a0\u00a0P5 Perfect Picture Engine\u00a0processor that improves fluidity when using the television.\u00a0To download your applications it has an internal memory of 16 GB.\u00a0Finally, mention that it offers\u00a0Ambilight\u00a0technology .<\/p>\n
