Who wins on what

Ranked by what users actually praise

Overall Impression

Ambilight and picture quality win over early adopters. Owners who installed the OLED807 report fantastic picture and sound quality, calling it a worthy upgrade after previous Ambilight TVs. Fans of the four-sided Ambilight implementation appreciate the added immersion compared to earlier three-sided designs, and Dolby Vision gaming support paired with Ambilight is called out as a standout feature. A detachable mains power lead and a backlit remote control round out small but appreciated convenience touches that reviewers noticed during hands-on testing of the set.

The stand design draws consistent criticism. Multiple commenters single out the stand as the TV's weakest point, describing it as a fingerprint magnet, 'dumb', and 'hideous', with one saying they skipped buying the 48-inch model because the stand felt oversized for the screen. Others ask about the stand's exact width for furniture fitting or whether VESA holes allow swapping in a different table stand, and one questions whether the rear-mounted speaker complicates wall mounting entirely.

Gaming and HDMI 2.1 support remain a point of confusion. Prospective buyers repeatedly ask whether the OLED807 truly supports native 4K/120Hz with ALLM, VRR and Dolby Vision gaming outside Monitor mode, referencing past mediatek chip eARC problems and accusing Philips of 'false lies' about HDMI 2.1 and Calman calibration. Others question whether every size actually ships with the OLED EX panel given the pricier 707 comparison and 48-inch doubts, and one notes the bezels look thicker than a competing LG panel despite sharing the same EVO panel.
