Philips unveils powerful OLED TV with 4500 nits and world's largest Ambilight at IFA 2026
TV division continues to expand in various fields
Philips continues to steadily innovate its Ambilight TVs. In preparation for 2027, the Dutch company used the Berlin event to showcase its entire new TV lineup this year. The Series 9 was selected, ranging from the well-known flagship OLED+ model (equipped with high-quality integrated sound) to the brand's first RGB Mini-LED technology challenge, and even ultra-large format QLED models.
The new premium lineup has something in common: AmbiScape technology applied to the perimeter lighting system Ambilight (compatible with up to 4 smart lights), support for the new Dolby Vision 2 / Dolby Vision 2 Max standard on some models, and a maximum refresh rate of 165 Hz including VRR.
Philips OLED+951 and OLED+911: Reaching the pinnacle with META 4.0 Tandem WOLED panels and Bowers & Wilkins sound
This year's flagship is… yes, the Philips OLED+951 (available in 65 and 77 inches), which has already been confirmed and known this year. This TV boasts top-of-the-line specifications: a META 4.0 Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 panel and the company's proprietary P5 Gen10 AI Dual Engine processor.
Thanks to this dual emission layer Tandem panel, the TV achieves an astonishing peak brightness of 4500 nits (brand measurement standard, estimated based on Vivid mode and 1% window), a top-of-the-line anti-reflection filter, and new AI tone mapping. It includes 4-sided Ambilight, four full-spec HDMI 2.1 ports, and a 70W 2.2 channel sound system.
Meanwhile, the Philips OLED+911 (available in 48, 55, 65, and 77 inches) retains the same META 4.0 Tandem 2.0 panel and 10th generation P5 AI processor but introduces changes in design and especially sound. It features a Bowers & Wilkins 3.1 channel 81W front sound system with a dedicated rear section for bass.
Philips OLED811 and OLED761: Democratized video file performance
Moving down a step in the OLED lineup, you'll encounter two models that were unveiled together last March: the OLED811 series (available from 42 inches to 77 inches) and the OLED761. The first model, the OLED811, features an OLED EX panel powered by the 10th generation P5 AI engine for sizes 55 inches and above, supports Dolby Vision 2 Max, offers a 165 Hz VRR, and includes a rotating stand up to 65 inches.
And on the other hand, there is Philips' most basic OLED this year, the OLED761. This model uses an OLED SE panel, resulting in a noticeable decrease in brightness compared to the higher lineup. The processor has also been lowered to the 7th generation P5 AI, but HDR10+ Gaming, G-Sync, and FreeSync Premium support are still provided.
MLED981 and PQS9001 TV• Philips' entry into RGB MiniLED and the arrival of 100-inch Ambilight
One of the biggest technological surprises at this event was the unveiling of the 85-inch MLED981 model, Philips' first RGB MiniLED TV. According to the manufacturer, the backlight system consists of 11,520 independent RGB local dimming zones, providing a peak brightness of 2500 nits and 97% BT.2020 color space coverage while minimizing blooming (light bleed).
Finally, a new member has been added to the popular "The One" family - the new 100-inch PQS9001 QLED model. Officially the world's largest Ambilight Smart TV, it takes cinematic immersion to a new level through its ultra-large format.
It is unclear whether most of these models are already released during the year, or if this announcement at IFA 2026 means that they will continue into 2027. We'll have to wait until CES for more news.
