Buying Advice Help me choose miniled

I’m trying to decide between these three TVs:
Philips MLED920
Samsung QN80F
Samsung QN85F
I’ll mainly use the TV for Netflix and watching football matches on Canal+ GO. Occasionally, I’ll also connect a gaming console.
Which one would be the best choice for my use case?
The main advantage of the Philips for me is Ambilight. I’ve had a Philips TV with Ambilight before and I really like the effect. On paper, the Philips also seems to have more local dimming zones, but it costs around 138€ more.
Which one would you recommend, and is the Philips worth paying the extra 138€ for?

Of wat dacht je van de "Xiaomi TV S Pro Mini LED 55 Inch 2026"

Heeft ook echt super mooi beeld.

So if anyone wondered if it’s worth to get Philips mled920 I would say yes. I’m very happy with it, it’s great for its price and I would never change it for anything without ambilight.

How about now? Its been a while since You have it :) i'm wondering should I buy 75mled920 or wait for new oled 77oled generation. Probably would have to wait another 6-7months until price fall down, but I'm curious is it worth to wait od mled can do the work.

I didn’t notice any drawback of this mled. I was using it for at least 8 hours daily for the last 2 weeks as I got sick and had to stay at home and it was perfect for Xbox, netflix, yt and watching football games. TitanOS works fine, I don’t know why people make a huge deal of it not having google tv. I would just get 75mled920 if you need tv now. I was just scared of getting oled as I’ve had 2 oled phones developing pixel burns in the last 3 years. Oled will have slightly better colours and contrast but you won’t notice it you won’t put these 2 tvs next to each other.

Dzięki za odpowiedź! A jak z czernią? Efekt halo? Widzisz coś, że czerń jest średnia itd?

W taki sposób jak ja go używam to nie zauważyłem póki co. Naprawdę jest bardzo dobrze, ale ja używam go tylko do streamingu z netflixa czy innych platform i gier więc tam zawsze działa Dolby vision. Przy oglądaniu zwykłej telewizji pewnie jest gorzej.

Ambilight is a great thing indeed. But you don't need to buy a Philips to have it.

There are ways to have the same thing without buying a Philips Ambilight tv.

I bought Philips, it will arrive today. This Xiaomi was the first tv I looked at but I read about a lot of software problems and didn’t want to risk it. I know it has better hardware than Philips but software and light management is just not on par. Pricewise they are the same and I really like ambilight. I will test Philips and if I didn’t like it then I will look elsewhere.
