Philips 50' Dumb tv...so bad – Oh boy, how to review the absolute worst tv i've ever owned...and i've owned a b&w tv in my povo youth, so yeah... I researched this tv prior to purchase. The price had dropped considerably (all retailers) & that appeared to be primarily due to poor software & internet connectivity. No big deal, i thought, in 2020 i was in a real hurry for a… Read more
good cheap picture for the footy, the rest was less of a concern...
...i should have paid closer attention.
Pos: + good picture + menu's are mostly logical & user-friendly
Neg: - switches off randomly, confuses function buttons - randomly switches back on after you switch it off - "smart" functions are useless; acts like it's all available but actually won't connect to anything & therefore won't update itself. (I have it hard-wired to nbn router, same as my gaming pc, but no dice) - the absolute worst tv speakers i've ever heard - from a decades long speaker manufacturer. It's like they just threw in '90's walkman headphone speakers figuring buyers would opt to buy a soundbar. Screeching highs, no mid, no bass. (I recommend Edifier S350DB 2.1 setup for small-mid size room music & movies) - has an infuriating "did you know.. " insert in my channel faves, that randomly moves as I scroll (it cannot be deleted & often screws up program recording as I try to set it).
I don't know how this thing passed QC, but clearly beta testing is not Philips idea of ensuring new models function as intended. Clearly no longer a new model, and a lemon from the start, if this türd is still on the market in 2025 just opt for anything else.
Not enough apps – It’s disappointing that there is no googLe pLay store & you can’t mirror your phone. There are so many other apps out there just as good as netfLix but you can’t downLoad them on this tv.. might be time for a new tv, might use this for gaming Show details
One major downfall – Generally I'm happy with the tv. It does take longer from the time you press ON for it to show the picture compared to TV's of friends (no big deal) and I can't seem to be able to use kayo sporting app through it but I'll survive. The actual main issue is that on channels abc, sbs and viceland it narrates so much it is very annoying. I respect… Read more
that the function has a purpose for people who need it but when following instructions and literally turning the function off by clicking on it and the dot appearing in the circle of "off", it still narrates. Very dissapointed.
Excellent tv however almost useless – Bought a smart tv and was very happy with the picture quality. Sound wasn't great but I bought a sound bar and the HDMI arc works a treat. Very clear, very brilliant and the tv looks fresh and modern. The massive downside is that there is no Google Play store. Phillips have added their own app store which has a bunch of unknown random apps. We… Read more
can't download Disney Plus, Stan or anything of the like.
You get Netflix, YouTube and Prime pre installed and that's it.
So as a smart tv it's not very smart. You can't download APK files and install anything via USB because the tv won't recognise APK files.
You can't download a file manager because the Phillips app store doesn't have any.
Miracast doesn't work on it even though the option is there.
Really nice tv but you can't watch all your subscriptions on it. Kinda pointless right? That's like buying a microwave that only allows you to make popcorn, reheat pizza and leftover chicken, nothing else!
Do not buy – Horrible tv. No Australian apps on it. No Stan, Netflix etc. Turns on and off by itself. Slow, freezes. Should not be sold in Australia. Should have returned it in the first week. Show details

both dying after 11 months – Purchased 2 from Aldi, one for Elderly Parents. Won't turn on intermittently and picture disappears. Going through hoops to get repair, time on phone, have to send emails, and then have to take them to repair shop. Phillips should just replace them, not good enough Show details

Don't purchase – Was excited to have purchased my first smart tv, only to be very disappointed, it is not compatible with Stan, when watching a series the system would jam, it was not the internet connection as I tried different programs and they worked fine. I have to unplug the power weekly as the whole system gets stuck, it is temperamental when you can choose… Read more
to view iview channels, the picture quality can range from very good to very poor. All up disappointed in the product.

Awesome – Good picture quality.. best priced. Netflix youtube and all. Good for my family use. Enough HDMI Ports and Usb ports. Wireless connectivity was good sometimes it takes longer to connect. Show details · 1
Great TV, but incompetent support – While unpacking the TV, I discovered 2 screws missing from the back. I contacted Philips support and after going through numerous hoops to prove ownership and explaining exactly which screws were missing, I was told “they could not help me and that my only recourse was to return the TV”. Furthermore, the manual states that there is a Philips… Read more
IPhone app that is available to control the TV. I downloaded the app, but this cannot find the TV even though a third app had no trouble doing so. After reporting this to Philips support, I was told again that nothing could be done to resolve this issue. So, after this experience, I have to say that I am grossly dissappointed in Philips. How could they let the brand be so tarnished by such incompetance from their support? The Philips brand used to stand for high quality, but from my experience, those days are over. I will certainly not be considering Philips for any future purchases.

thisis a dumb tv not a smart tv should Never have been sold retail in Australia – this tv only has a couple of smart options be careful buying should never have been sold here I sent them a message and this is what I got back Thank you for your feedback on Philips Smart TV. You can find all information on your 6100 series TV on Philips.com.au. I assume you have a 6103 model in particular as this is one of the popular… Read more
models. For your interest, the TV brochure attached to this email.
The apps available are those already preinstall on the TV set such as Netflix, Youtube, Prime video, etc. Additional apps can be found from the Philips apps gallery under the Home menu. However, the apps available were not all optimized for the ANZ region.
Not all of the Philips models that come with Android TV systems which offer you greater ability with apps and features. If you felt that this Saphi smart model did not suit for purpose, I would recommend contacting the place you bought it from for return or exchange.

Fair performance for a fair price – Had this TV had cost more money, then yes maybe I would have given a lower rating. but it's priced fairly, it doesn't over promise and under deliver. It delivers expectations in line with it's price tag. Fair enough. Overall picture is good and if you're not a big stickler for the software side this will play also digital channels and free to air just fine. Show details · 1

Ads on main menu – Phillips has updated their TV software and apparently they think they have a right to ad space on the TV you bought. They have introduced ads onto the main menu of the TV with their updated software. Show details

Great TV for simple use – This Philips TV is far from perfect, but it does the job if you casually watch television. At first glance, it seems perfect, but after a while, you begin to notice the little problems. They don't completely make TV impossible to watch but they are annoying if you are a picky individual. To start this mini-rant I would like to mention the… Read more · 1
brightness of the TV, it is just a little too dark for me when watching something like a movie or a show it can be hard to make out what an object in a dark scene is. This may not bother you much when you first receive the TV but after you realize it's there it begins to get more and more noticeable. In my experience of using this TV, I have found this effect is downgraded when in a dark room, the darkness of the TV really stands out in a bright room.
To follow up on what I said before, the picture of this TV is VERY clear. Personally I watch a lot of ambiances, my favorite is a fireplace, which with this TV I can very easily see every little flame without a struggle. In my opinion, the clearness of this device is my favorite feature and is one of the main reasons I recommend this TV to others.
In total, this is something I recommend to people who want value for their money, but if you have a more flexible budget I recommend the next-gen up to this but nevertheless this is a great TV that you might have to fiddle around with now and again but I am very glad that this is something I own.
Love it – Perfect colours quality. The remote was easy to use and the set up was very easy. Had no problem connecting to the internet. Easy to attach Apple TV and all items Show details · 1
Can not download Apps! Do not waste your money – Waste of money as you can not download your own apps only watch what is installed. Ensure you check what operating system Phillips is using before you purchase, I need to buy a setbox so I can now have access to all my favourite apps. DO NOT BUY PHILLIPS, other TV's out their cheaper and have access to all apps Show details

Awesome TV – Phillips TV is known as one of the best brands in Europe. Why made in China only? Phillips TV features are smart TV options that allow you to watch TV, online videos and channels. Show details
Great TV...would buy again! – The title says it all...and I 'did' buy the same model again. The next week in fact! Now when viewing in the lounge room or family room you don't need to fumble with the remote and hope you don't select the wrong button. In saying that, the remote control has a hollow sound, but it works OK, not sure if this would stop anyone buying this model.… Read more
Picture quality is clear and one TV connects via WiFi while the other via Cat6 cable, both are the same quality, already had the cable setup with a previous TV, but next time wouldn't bother as it doesn't make any difference. Bluetooth speakers improve audio quality, but depends what you are watching as several audio options available in settings menu.
Great for watching YouTube tutorials when too much sport on FTA TV. Pleased with the TV and no real complaints. Hope this helps?
Bought this as a present – I bought this as a birthday present for my father and he absolutely loves this television. He said he finds it easy to use and the quality of the screen is good. Show details · 1
No Apps to install like Skype, Yupp TV – Hi This is Kalki Chaitanya and purchased this TV 50 inches 6100 series on Dec 2018. Very limited apps to browse and unable to install Skype to do video calling to home & Yupp TV app where you can watch regional channels from India. Other TVs like Samsung has these abilities and not much happy until I can install YUPP TV && SKYPE apps in my smart TV. Waste of money if PHILIPS didn’t provide solution to this Thank you

Very solid TV – This TV does everything I need from it. Smart TV functions are functional and work smoothly. Very happy with the colour quality, as well as the resolution of the 4K TV. I especially like the elegant look and styling of the TV. Not aware of any structural problems with my unit. Show details

Very Fragile – I have dealt with a lot of technology, but never experienced a product this fragile. I ordered one of these TVs for our school. The first product was dead on arrival with a broken screen. The replacement unit arrived. The screen broke with the slightest of touch. Whilst I know, screens are not meant to be touched - the fragility of the screen… Read more
meant it was unlikely to withstand a gentle dusting or someone inadvertently brushing against it.
I can not recommend this product - as it appears nor be designed for the real world.
