Philips has unveiled a 55-inch 4K OLED TV at IFA 2016 that it has coined 901F TV, reported the Verge.
Similar to competitor LG, the Philips TV has built in high dynamic range imaging (HDR) and 4K resolution. In addition, the TV has a built-in sound bar, Android TV, and uses Philips Ambilight ambient lighting system.

The display has a 540-nit peak-light performance, and the Perfect Contrast system, which makes for improved contrast. It also employs the Philips’ Perfect Color system that includes a 17-bit color booster and intelligent color processing for deep blacks, bright whites and realistic skin tones.
The TV set also combines Philips Perfect Pixel Ultra HD Engine, which produces fluid motion that makes the TV look sharp, bright, and smooth from different viewing angles.
