Philips 7900 Ambilight Ultra-HD LED Android TV specifications and features

The standout feature of the new Philips 7900 series is the three-sided Ambilight system of LEDs, located behind the TV screen. Based on the content and colours displayed near the edges of the screen when something is displayed on screen, the Ambilight system shines similar coloured light right behind the TV.

This is similar to the effect achieved by aftermarket rear lights from brands such as Govee and Philips itself, but the lighting system on the Ambilight TV is integrated straight out-of-the-box, and requires no additional setup. The lights can be customised and controlled directly using the remote of the TV, and even switched off as needed.

In addition to this, the Philips 7900 Ambilight LED TV series supports high dynamic range content in all the major formats, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. The television also supports Dolby Atmos sound, with the 55-inch TV featuring a 20W speaker system. The Ultra-HD screen has a refresh rate of up to 60Hz, and the television has dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 connectivity.

The television runs Android TV software, with the new stock Android TV user interface, and access to major apps and streaming services through the Google Play Store. There is also Google Assistant support through the remote, as well as built-in Google Chromecast.
