Editorial note

The Philips 43PUS8518 is a television that stands out for several notable advantages. Its Philips P5 Perfect Picture Engine image processing offers exceptional visual quality, enhanced by HDR Dolby Vision and HDR10+ technology, ensuring images with rich contrasts and vibrant colors. Additionally, the Game mode optimizes performance for gaming sessions, while the built-in teletext with 1000 pages of information enriches the viewing experience. The ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the screen brightness, improving visual comfort. However, this model also has drawbacks. The lack of Smart TV features limits access to apps and streaming services, which may disappoint modern users. Furthermore, its energy efficiency class F for SDR and G for HDR indicates relatively high energy consumption compared to current standards, potentially leading to additional costs. The absence of AMD FreeSync technology may also detract from the gaming experience, and the unspecified brightness could pose issues in very bright environments. Finally, the depth and weight of the television may make installation and transport more difficult. In terms of score, the user experience is rated positively overall, although the limitation in smart features is a weak point. Performance is rated highly due to image quality and gaming options. The design receives a satisfactory evaluation, but maneuverability is an aspect to consider. Features and support are well-rated, with comprehensive documentation that facilitates product handling. In summary, the Philips 43PUS8518 is a good choice for image quality enthusiasts, but it may not be suitable for users looking for modern features and better energy efficiency.
