Philips' Smart TV Premium platform is still close to useless in its current form. It works and acts more like a slow website than actual apps that you know from your smartphones and tablets. A few apps are available now but Netflix, for example, will not...
Ambilight is beautiful, Great all-round picture, Sexily slim, brushed-metal design
Not as smart as some, Menus could be clearer
We're big fans of Ambilight, but there's no way we'd pay £1950 for a rubbish telly just for the accompanying light show. But the fact is that even if you took that feature away the 55PFL8008 would still be a brilliant TV, and that's why it gets a place i...
Gorgeous design and build quality, Excellent 2D and good 3D picture quality, Endless picture flexibility
Complex to calibrate, Uninspiring online service, Sluggish smart menus
Aside from not having as much online content as some rivals, the Philips 55PFL8008 is a premium TV in every way, capable of producing stellar picture quality and looking mighty fine while it's doing it.Next, read our round-up of the best 4K TVs...

One could be forgiven for thinking that the Philips 55PFL8008S/12 is simply a reskin of last year's 8007 series, given the many similarities between the two in terms of image quality down to the SD processing quirks. Nevertheless, there's at least one sub...
Detailed 2D performance, Real depth to 3D, Great contrast, Strong blacks, Smooth, natural and stable movement
Confusing menus, Smart TV functionality not as good as competitors
While the smart functionality is a bit of an Achilles' heel for the Philips, we have to say that this TV's all-round performance more than makes up for it. Stunning 2D pictures, a great 3D performance and black levels deep enough to challenge those on ...
Black levels, Excellent picture presets, Double, sided remote, Subwoofers & sound, Netflix, Blinkbox & BBC iPlayer
Peak white glare, No Lovefilm app, Viewing angle, Restricted pointer remote, No MKV streaming
Philips' top Full HD television for 2013 - with the exception of the larger Philips 55PFL8008S, perhaps - is one of the best in the business. Detail in both moving images and close-ups is excellent, blacks are profound and its Perfect Natural Motion circ...

Ambilight looks great, super sharp picture, good picture once tweaked via lots of advanced manual controls (and ISF presets), sound to rival anything in its class, 'smarter' than previous generation, thin bezel, attractive stand
Clouding can be prominent, less 'smart' than near competition, menus are slow, among priciest 55-inch in its class, Perfect Natural Motion looks over-smoothed, Ambilight isn't on bottom surface
Even if the Philips 55PFL8008S isn't as "smart" as the competition, the level of customisable picture control is smarter than much else out there that we've seen - and that's where the smart money is. All £2,500 of it. If you're a TV techie or movi...
