New line has models for all categories from the 3000 series which includes a few base LED Tv sets , 4000 series which introduces Smart TV and continue with 6000 ,7000 ,8000 and 9000 Series where we have 3D TV,Internet with premium apps and ambilight illumination .

Today we will present the model PFL7008 from Philips ,a 3D Smart Tv that could be one of best choices in 2013.


Design

Design has been completely changed : a very thin bezel falling within the screen and a TV stand that is very sleek ,bringing a new format with a single point of support . The bottom of the Smart TV Philips PFL7008 has an integrated webcam and microphone designed specifically for Skype.

This year Philips brings a new remote control with innovative functions.

The remote control has unique features and very useful for a smart TV .
It has a classical side, and on the other side a QWERTY keyboard, which allows you to enter text very quickly and easily in smart applications or browsing the Internet.
The Remote Control has a pointer ,accessing various applications of the TV is very slight (more easily than with a mouse for example) simply by directing TV remote control,using a method similar to the controller to the console Wii.

Picture and ambilight

TV picture is very good,contrast is much better ,and the colors, as well as the level of black/white are comparative series with 7000 or 8000 Series from Samsung.
The Philips PFL7008 has a refresh rate of 800 HZ ,sport or very rapid movement are played very well,and processing has fewer artifacts than the previous series where there were certain areas with faults.
In addition to this ,Philips PFL 7008 has included the Ambilight 3 feature ,Which amplify the cinema,or 3D movies effects.
On the wall at the back of the TV will display same color tones that are present and on the screen.
You can imagine that you take a look at a 3D movie, and within an explosion ,fire spread all over the wall or sunrise in a documentary , cast ray of light all over the room.
In addition to fascinating effects,Philips PFL 7008 may use ambilight to create an ambient light in the room after our condition and preferences, in the same way that may recreate various picture effects+sound+ambilight : an aquarium,a fireplace,etc.

3D Quality and technology:

The 7008 TVs offer passive 3D.
Altough this type of 3D view had many flaws in the past,Philips PFL 7008 passive glasses delivers a 3D image very good which together with Ambilight creates an experience cinema at its best.
It also can convert the signal 2d in 3D ,as well as the rest traditional conversions (parallel, horizontally, etc).
Smart Tv Philips 7008 is included and a media player, and can play on external memory: photos, music, or movies in various formats including MKV,or 3D MKV.
Unfortunately sound to your movies MKV still remains a problem on Philips TVS,and sometimes codec is not recognized.
We found that in some movies Stereoscopic 3D, the conversion may not be carried out correctly ,but this problem will be solved once the tv software updates itself.

Smart Tv Options.

Looking at the Smart apps, this TV doesn’t disappoint either.
We can connect to the Internet by cable, or Wireless,we have a impressive suite of free or premium apps,online TV channels and play games.

Another feature is the Multi-room function. Multi-room allows you to stream TV channels and recordings to other Philips TVs in your home .
Also,it can stream TV channels to smartphones and tablets on the same network using the Philips MyRemote app – for Android and iOS.This being said ,this Tv set made by Philips ( owned by Funai these days ) could stand against the Samsung new F series presented here.

Final opinion is that : Philips 7008 is worth buying ,delivering good 3D cinematic experience and a great Smart Tv platform.
