Philips brings with the TV model PUS7502 the loudspeakers from their hiding place. What this brings and what the TV otherwise draufhat, betrays the test.
Test Conclusion: You must know
The Philips PUS7502 stands out with its Ambilight out of the mass of the TV: this illuminates the wall behind the device in accordance with the current picture. Also the other equipment with recording function and Android operating system including huge app selection liked in the test. In addition, a very sharp picture, the Philips is already conventional TV broadcasts very well on its ultra-HD resolution high.
D ost hide their TV speakers, so the sound reaches only in a roundabout way the spectators. Philips, on the other hand, gives the PUS7502 a directly forward-facing loudspeaker bar under the screen. That sounds good - and the TV still looks great. This is also the Philips Ambilight's share, it lights up to match the running picture the wall behind the TV. Three LED strips on the right, left and on the top of the TV rear are responsible for this. The clear aluminum look and the heavy metal base also contribute to a good appearance.
Philips PUS7502: sharp and colorful with UHD and HDR
For good picture quality, Philips is also powerful, the PUS7502 is the first and the most affordable TV from the 2017 program with its own P5 processor. It takes care of image scaling, motion smoothing, noise filtering and much more, so that everything from TV broadcasts to films with extrascharfer Ultra-HD resolution looks perfect - with success! In the test, the Philips was among the models with the sharpest and most detailed picture.
Smearings at HDR
Even TV broadcasts looked very sharp, without the TV even fine textures. In the image setting "ISF Tag" the Philips colors are quite natural, but the larger range of HDR films can not be displayed. The dominate first expensive HDR TV. As a maximum brightness, Philips gives 400 candelas per square meter (Nits), but the PUS7502 achieves only with too cool color representation. In the recommended mode "ISF Tag" it comes to usually sufficient 287 Candela. That the television also HDR films processed is nice, brings in this class but little profit. For this, the screen would have to be lighter and more powerful. Important: If the TV detects HDR material, it switches the picture mode automatically. The first time the user has to change to "HDR ISF Tag", so that the HDR colors are correct. Good is the "HDR Upscaling" option for conventional material. This looks radiantly bright, without dark parts becoming gray. Thanks to the 100-Hertz screen, the high image quality is also retained in movements. They run smoothly and with little interference on the screen ("evenly" when the movement is set).
Android with good app selection
With four HDMI connectors plus an analog input for older devices, the back is well-stocked, two USB ports are available for media playback and for TV recordings on external hard disks. Recordings from private HD stations are only possible for a limited time as usual. The TV reception works by antenna, cable and satellite also throughout HD, by satellite even in Ultra-HD. The user has to get used to the operation via the Android operating system (version 6.01). For this, the Philips reacts quickly to commands of the remote control. To switch from the current TV program to Netflix and continue a series, the TV took about 6 seconds - that's fine. Over some quirks of the Android system one must ignore. Thus the TV expects a speech input after a click on the search field, but neither TV nor remote have a microphone for it. Text input is only possible with a further click. The hits after the search are limited to just a few services such as YouTube, as is the case with Android TVs, a search around in the TV program preview is not possible. At the time of testing the Amazon Instant video app was missing, otherwise the selection is very good.
