The emotion of design We don’t just watch.

We experience.

We don’t just hear.

We feel.

6

From the shivers down your spine to the breath you didn’t realize you were holding. Every moment, every movement, has the power to take us beyond. Into a world where emotion comes alive, and tech is more than just tech.

Philips TV & Audio products are designed to bring you closer to the thrill of great sound and vision. From the materials to the performance, everything is meticulously crafted to awaken your senses.

Because we don’t just make. We create.

Every detail matters: every scene, every note, every angle.

A screen is a doorway to a new world. A speaker is the key to a journey.

Let’s go there. Together.

I have found imagination to be one of the most important qualities for success in life. It is based on avoiding routine, on continually asking: can this be done better?

When you love what you watch, you don’t just watch it. You escape into it. With new levels of nuance and detail, Bowers & Wilkins sound, and up-to-the-minute smart functionality, this is more than OLED. It’s OLED+.

Sound is the other picture.

When you show people a rough cut without the sound mix they are often really surprised. Sound creates a completely new world.

Sound and vision, beautifully matched OLED+ 984

16

What happens when you combine the breathtaking picture quality of a Philips flagship OLED+ TV with the sound it deserves?

Clean lines of polished aluminum. Acoustically transparent wool-blend speaker fabric.

A speaker enclosure that seems to float in light.

This extraordinary television will satisfy the audiophile in you.

17

The thrill of sound What if your TV could replace your sound system?

Pristine dialogue and bone-shaking effects are only half the story. The speakers in the Philips OLED+ 984 have been conceived and configured according to Bowers & Wilkins design principles.

The result: incredibly powerful, detailed bass, lush midrange, and crystal-clear high frequencies. A soundstage so open and dynamic, you can hear the quietest whisper in the midst of the action. Or, if you’re watching a live concert stream, the precise location of every cymbal in the midst of a thunderous drum solo.

This is not just a TV to watch. It’s a TV to listen to.

18

19

No one else does emotion like this With Philips’ unique 4-sided Ambilight, every moment feels closer. Intelligent LEDs frame the four edges of the TV and cast on-screen colors onto the wall—in real time. Drama feels deeper.

Action feels bigger. Playlists weave lightshows, and the thrill of every game leaps right into the room.

Whatever you love: you’ll love it more.

Perfection is a calling Sound by Bowers & Wilkins The sound in a Philips OLED+ television is designed and tuned by legendary audio engineers Bowers & Wilkins.

When the picture’s this good, only sound from the masters is good enough to match it.

22

23

The quest for True Sound John Bowers founded Bowers & Wilkins in 1966.

A passionate music fan, John was on a mission to create the perfect loudspeaker. A speaker capable of recreating the experience of live music, breath for breath and note for note. His spirit of innovation remains at the heart of everything Bowers & Wilkins does today.

24

“The best loudspeaker isn’t the one that gives the most: it’s the one that loses the least.”

John Bowers, founder of Bowers & Wilkins

25

The magic of partnerships Philips TV and Abbey Road Studios The partnership between audio excellence and unmatched picture quality lies at the heart of Philips OLED+ design. It is therefore fitting that legendary recording studio Abbey Road should choose Philips as its official TV partner.

Abbey Road Studios has played host to some of the greatest partnerships in the history of music: John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Agnetha, Benny, Bjorn, and Anni-Frid. Not to mention Bowers & Wilkins, our collaborators on the sound of our own OLED+ TVs. Philips TVs are the preferred choice for Abbey Road Studios’ world-famous live rooms, control rooms, and public spaces. Beyond the screens, we will also be working with Abbey Road Studios to develop unique content and events.

What inspires me is creating designs that make people excited, that excite their passion.

The challenge was to bring together the big flagship picture of Philips TV and the big premium sound of Bowers & Wilkins. In a way that blends beautifully with the living space.

Rod White, Global Head of Design, Philips TV & Audio

True Sound is simple to explain. Our loudspeakers should not change, color, or in any way obstruct the intent of the original performance.

Doing that in a Philips TV, matching that incredible picture—that was our mission.

I think we succeeded.

Andy Kerr, Director of Product Marketing, Bowers & Wilkins

The glory of cinema OLED+ 934 Stories have the power to move us. When they look and sound this real, they have the power to change us.

Extraordinary Bowers & Wilkins sound. Dolby Atmos. A picture so real you could step right into it.

This OLED+ TV is for the cinephiles.

I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated.

The art of listening

36

The screen goes black. The first stab of music sends a shiver down your spine.

Overhead, the sound of engines. A rumble, at first, but then it’s a growl, and finally an all-encompassing thunder that shakes you to your core.

You grip the arm of your chair. You take a deep breath. The Imperial Star Destroyer cruises into view…

The Philips OLED+ 934 boasts a Bowers & Wilkins soundbar that’s been specifically designed to make the most of Dolby Atmos. Up-firing speakers project elements of the mix over and around you, creating an incredibly realistic sound in which effects seem to come from specific points in space.

From lasers blasting all around you to Darth Vader’s breath on the back of your neck: you’ll be immersed.

True immersion “Immersive.”

It’s a word that gets overused. All too often, it can mean a picture that’s too bright.

Not when we say it.

When you watch a Philips television, our P5 engine with Perfect Natural Reality processing delivers a picture so real it feels like you could step right into it.

Shadows are perfectly dark, but you’ll still see what’s lurking in them.

A sunlit sky is rich and blue: and yet the faintest wisp of cloud is clearly visible. Snow sparkles on the mountains.

And motion? The P5 always keeps up. No matter how blistering the play, you’ll never lose sight of the ball. Or the puck. The mysteries of the Kung Fu masters? No longer a blur.

Even a midrange Philips TV brings you picture quality that effortlessly draws you in. So effortlessly, in fact, you might even forget the movie is make-believe.

Beautifully simple. Simply beautiful.

Clean lines of polished aluminum turn a Philips OLED+ TV into a statement piece. Kvadrat speaker fabric brings warmth to the geometry of a soundbar, and allows the extraordinary sound of B&W-tuned speakers to flow unimpeded into the room.

Beauty flows in lines When legendary Danish silversmith Georg Jensen died in 1935, the New York Herald Tribune hailed him as “the greatest silversmith of the last 300 years.” Today, Georg Jensen’s name lives on in the company he founded. Every piece bears the unmistakable mark of his passion for flowing lines and superb craftsmanship.

“Silver has this wonderful shine like moonlight...a light taken straight from a Danish summer’s night.”

A meeting of minds Rod White (Global Head of Design, Philips TV & Audio) and Nicholas Manville (Chief Creative Officer, Georg Jensen) in conversation

“It all starts with inspiration… the interplay of light with the material…”

Rod White 58

“Inspiration for me has to do with changing your scenery, absorbing new things wherever you are.�

Nicholas Manville 59

“If you’re up on a ridge in Scotland…

the combination of colors that you see up on the hill and the rawness of nature…

60

that brings together elements and colors that are an inspiration‌�

Rod White 61

“I have always lived by the ocean so in Denmark, it’s always comforting for me to be near water… the blues of water… the endless landscape and the colors…

62

the tensions and creativity that come together in a place like Skagen create some of the most interesting designs that we see.�

Why just listen, when you could embody your passion?

Why just stream music, when your speaker could be a conversation piece?

Because music and style should go together.
