When it comes tothe best OLED TVs, I’m a big fan of TP Vision-owned Philips TVs and theirAmbilight technology- which illuminates beyond the screen’s edges onto surrounding walls in real-time - such as the top-of-the-lineOLED+937model and its huge built-in soundsystem.
While that model isn’t getting knocked off its top spot this year (I’m predicting a replacement model in a 2024 update), the also-excellentOLED+908 with its built-in Bowers & Wilkins soundsystemandLG G3-rivalling Micro Lens Array (MLA) panel, plus the step-down OLED+808 models have just had their UK pricing revealed.
The OLED+808 series had been announced earlier but had been delayed from its original August 2023 release date owed to a pending agreement to have Freeview Play on theGoogleTV platform. With that absent for the new launch date, which is now set for October, there will be a future update to follow. The OLED+909 series, meanwhile, will launch in the same month of October - the assumption being just weeks apart - also on the Google TV platform.

Above I’ve listed the Philips OLED+808 and OLED+908 sizes and retail prices for their respective launch dates in the UK. Do note, however, that TP Vision has a strong history of discounting its sets forthe best Black Friday sales, so you may contemplate biding your time, adding four to six weeks onto your purchase plan and hoping that there’s a welcome discount come mid-to-late November.
Waiting might be a great shout, too, as the OLED+908 sounds like it’s in the run for being one ofthe best TVs of 2023(and 2024, really) given that MLA panel. I’ve already reviewed thePanasonic MZ2000, for example, which is a clear contender at this price, but that lacks the unique prospect of Ambilight which makes the Philips proposition all the more dynamic and fun.
