Philips TVs have returned with a new, varied range.

The new range includes sizes going from 24-inches to 75-inches and include sFull HD TVs as well as Ultra HD 4K sets. The 4K TVs run the latest version of Android TV OS, and some of them support high dynamic range content to boot. But none will be labeled with the UHD Alliance’s new UHD Premium standard, which requires a peak brightness of 1000 nits, as they max 700 nits.

They do comply with UHD Alliance’s HDR 10 open standard and will be able to process Amazon Video’s HDR as well as upcoming Ultra HD Blu-rays. Speaking of HDR, Philips' HDR lineup is comprised of HDR Plus and HDR Premium. HDR-compatible TVs with HDR Plus offer a peak brightness of 400 nits, while HDR Premium offers a full 700 nits. There's also HDR upscaling.

HDR upscaling boosts colour, brightness, and contrast - allowing the content to be viewed in HDR. Beyond that, Philips brought back Ambilux with the 8901 series. It involves LEDs on the edges of the TV. They display the screen’s colours on your wall, making the TV’s image appear larger or like a bleeding image. The new Ambilight Projection uses nine rear projectors.

So, without further adieu, here's Philips' 2016 TV range and its availability:
