Overall rating

Philips OLED769 is the entry-level OLED model from the Dutch manufacturer for 2024, but don’t let that mislead you. OLED769 surprises with its image quality and several interesting features. Thanks to OLED technology, the colours are truly vivid, and the contrast is very good – deep blacks and bright highlights displayed on this screen make a difference, especially when watching evening series. When it comes to motion fluidity, OLED769 performs really well. The 120 Hz panel handles dynamic scenes excellently, whether it's sports or games. When it comes to gaming on consoles, the television does not disappoint either – 4 HDMI 2.1 ports support VRR and ALLM, and the fast response time ensures smooth and responsive gameplay. And what about Ambilight? It’s a classic Philips feature and one of those functions that either you love or hate. In this model, it works very well – the backlighting responds to the content on the screen and adds atmosphere, particularly in a dark room. It’s not something that everyone will consider essential, but it does make an impression in the evenings – at least on us. As for the new operating system TitanOS, it leaves us with mixed feelings. It operates quickly, but some popular applications are missing. For more demanding users, it might lack the flexibility that earlier Philips systems (GoogleTV) offered. Philips OLED769 is a good choice for those looking for a television with beautiful image quality and the exceptional addition of Ambilight. The image quality and motion fluidity will satisfy most users, and the minor limitations of the operating system will not be a hindrance if you prioritise basic applications. It’s a solid option for both watching films and gaming.

Visibility of details in the lights:

Philips OLED769 impresses with its black levels and contrast. Thanks to OLED technology, each pixel in this television is self-illuminating, allowing for the complete shutdown of individual pixels. This means that black areas of the image are pitch black, and the contrast is infinite. The effect is incredibly realistic, with excellent clarity and detail in dark scenes. The OLED panel used in Philips OLED769 is produced by LG, known as WOLED, ensuring the highest quality in black reproduction. As a result, the television offers a contrast that is unattainable for traditional LCD televisions - even the best ones on the market.

Philips OLED769 performs quite well, particularly in film scenes with small points of light. The television surprises with its brightness, reaching around 800 nits, which is an impressive result. As a result, fine sources of light, such as street lamps at night or stars in the sky, are sharp and full of detail. However, the biggest challenge for this model is the scene with a full-screen burst of sunlight. In such moments, the brightness drops to about 250 nits, which is not very impressive. This is a typical problem for cheaper OLED displays, which struggle to maintain high brightness across the entire screen surface.

Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)

Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)

Let's take a look at how the Philips OLED769 television performs in exceptionally difficult film scenes. In the first scene from the film "Pan", the overall scenery looks good, but there is a certain problem. The high light effects, such as the sun in the distance, blend into one spot, making it difficult to see the various shades of the sun. A similar situation occurs in the film "Billy Lynn". At first glance, one might say that the television performs excellently due to its good rendering of high light effects, such as fireworks. However, the background actor is lacking detail in dark areas. Due to a lack of response to metadata, the device attempts to maintain relatively high brightness at the expense of detail.

HDR luminance chart:

Philips OLED769 has been equipped with all available HDR formats on the market, which is a significant plus. However, it is worth noting how different film scenes are rendered using various metadata. In the case of static HDR10, it is hard to talk about positive experiences. The entire screen merges into a single plane, and the television does not adapt to properly render the scene. The situation changes dramatically when dynamic metadata come into play. Although it still cannot be said that the image rendering is reference quality, it is significantly better compared to static HDR. Dynamic HDR, such as HDR10+ and Dolby Vision, significantly improve the quality of the displayed image, providing more detail and better adaptation to different film scenes. As a result, viewers can enjoy more realistic and vivid visual effects.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

5.9/10

The gradation in Philips OLED769 unfortunately proves problematic in almost every scene from the test sequence. Particular difficulties arise in dark colours and around black. In these areas, in addition to the posterisation effect, the image is enhanced by a solid dose of noise. The problem with tonal transitions is not limited to dark hues – it can also be seen in lighter elements, such as in a scene from the film "Kingsman," where clear colour banding is visible around the sun. This phenomenon can significantly affect the visual perception, especially in scenes where black and dark shades play a key role. It's hard not to notice these imperfections, which can disrupt the viewing experience, particularly for viewers who value excellent image quality.

When it comes to lower quality materials, the distortion reduction in the Philips OLED769 handles tonal transitions well, especially at the minimum setting. It is worth noting that at this setting, film grain is not blurred, which is a pleasant surprise, as such negative phenomena often occur with other manufacturers. Overall, it is quite a decent solution. However, it should be pointed out that this setting does not work in HDR mode, where gradation issues are much more pronounced. In HDR mode, the television struggles with smoothing tonal transitions and may present more noticeable distortions and noise, reducing picture quality in dynamic scenes.

Regarding digital processing, the Philips OLED769 performs well. The model in the photo is not overly jagged, and the branches in the background lack the characteristic jagged edges. The television achieves this effect thanks to the absence of artificial sharpness, which may be an advantage for some users. Others, however, may find this less attractive, as they prefer a more vibrant, sharper image instead of a subtle effect. This effect can be mitigated by using a higher setting for the "Sharpness" parameter.

Philips OLED769 features a multi-stage motion smoother called "Motion Style", which will satisfy users who appreciate the ability to customise the fluidity of motion in films. With this function, you can set the image to be more frame-like or smooth, resembling a theatrical effect. This is a great solution for those who want to adapt the displayed content to their visual preferences. Gamers will also not be disappointed, as the television, like most OLEDs, is equipped with a 120Hz panel. This provides exceptional fluidity and dynamism of the image. Unfortunately, Philips OLED769 does not have the BFI (Black Frame Insertion) feature, which could further improve motion fluidity and sharpness. Despite this limitation, the television still offers excellent visual experiences for both cinema lovers and gamers. This is definitely one of its strong points.

Philips OLED769 has been designed with gamers in mind, offering full compatibility with consoles and the highest quality of gameplay. The television received the maximum rating in this category, providing everything that the heart desires. With HDMI 2.1 ports fully supporting ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), the television ensures smooth and hassle-free gaming. ALLM automatically switches the television to low latency mode, while VRR eliminates stuttering and screen tearing, resulting in fluidity and stability in gaming. The Dolby Vision gaming feature is another advantage, although it only works at a frequency of 60 Hz. Most casual gamers will likely not feel the lack of a higher frequency; however, more demanding users may have some reservations. This allows for enjoyment of a dynamic range of tones and realistic images, enhancing the gaming experience. PC gamers will also not be disappointed, as Philips OLED769 offers full compatibility with Nvidia graphics cards, thanks to support for G-Sync. This technology synchronises the refresh rate of the television with the graphics card, eliminating tearing and stuttering, resulting in excellent image fluidity.

Philips OLED769 is a television that perfectly meets the needs of gamers, offering a wide range of advanced features and technologies that significantly enhance gameplay quality and user comfort.

Input lag

9.8/10

The input lag on the Philips OLED769 is truly impressively low. At a frequency of 120Hz, values hovering around 5 ms make a huge impression, and for a frequency of 60Hz, 13 ms is also an excellent result. Such low latencies ensure a quick response to player movements, which is crucial for smooth and responsive gameplay. The only thing that can be criticised is the lack of support for Dolby Vision at materials/games with a refresh rate of 120Hz. Nevertheless, the television still offers incredible visual experiences and excellent specifications that will satisfy any gamer.

OLED769 performs excellently in collaboration with PCs. The rating in this category is very good, primarily due to the great readability of fonts, regardless of the background colour. The support for chroma 4:4:4 further enhances image quality, ensuring clear and sharp details. The low response time is another advantage of this model, which translates into smoothness and responsiveness during work and gaming. All of this makes the Philips OLED769 an ideal choice for PC users seeking a large screen with high image quality and excellent parameters.

Viewing angles

7.5/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 29%

When it comes to viewing angles, Philips OLED769 performs excellently, as is the case with all OLED televisions. The image remains clear and does not lose quality regardless of the viewing angle. This means you can enjoy exceptional picture quality even when watching from the side or from more unusual locations in the room. The only televisions that offer even better viewing angles are those equipped with QD-OLED and OLED MLA panels. These technologies can provide even greater stability and image clarity from various angles. However, compared to standard LCD televisions, Philips OLED769 still offers significantly better viewing angles, making it a great choice for large rooms and family movie nights.

TV efficiency during daytime

4.6/10

Matrix coating: Satin

Reflection suppression: Average

Black levels during daytime: Very Good

The performance of the television Philips OLED769 during the day leaves something to be desired. The screen, although satin, moderately suppresses reflections, which can be noticeable in bright rooms. The low rating is primarily due to the rather average brightness of the television—250 nits is not impressive and may not be sufficient to ensure proper image quality in strong daylight. This makes viewing on sunny days potentially less comfortable, and the image details may be harder to discern.

The greatest asset of the Philips OLED769 television is undoubtedly the three-sided Ambilight system. This technology truly makes a difference by extending the screen onto the walls around the television, creating the illusion of a larger screen. It not only enhances the visual experience but also adds a unique atmosphere, whether we are watching a film, playing games, or using other multimedia.

An interesting feature is the new remote control included with televisions operating on the TitanOS system. Its backlighting makes it very convenient to use, although its wireless functionality leaves something to be desired. Its hybrid design sometimes requires you to aim at the television screen, while at other times you do not, depending on which button you are using, which can be somewhat annoying.

In the context of the operating system, Philips has introduced a new strategy this year by replacing the previous open GoogleTV system with its own proprietary TitanOS. As is often the case with new technologies, TitanOS has its growing pains. At the moment, it only offers a few basic applications, and the app store does not impress with its variety. This may disappoint some users who expect a wide range of available applications. Additionally, the lack of support for AirPlay features and the ability to record onto USB are further limitations that could be problematic.
