The Philips OLED910 is (almost) the highest representative of TVs from this brand in the offering for 2025, and at the same time, the cheapest model featuring the revolutionary Tandem OLED panel. This type of panel can be found in constructions such as LG G5, Panasonic Z95B, and – in the largest size of 83 inches – Samsung S95F. The panel itself is considered revolutionary, mainly due to its unprecedented brightness in the world of organic TVs. Philips claims that the OLED910 can fully utilize its potential. How does this perform in practice? What sets it apart from the aforementioned competition, and is it worth choosing this model? You will find out in our review.
PHILIPS OLED910 - Our verdict
8.5
Overall rating
The Philips OLED910 is one of the contenders for the title of TV of the Year 2025 – and we say this with full conviction. Thanks to the META panel used, more specifically the Tandem OLED produced by LG Display, we get top-tier, unprecedented brightness in WOLED televisions. Combined with perfect contrast, this provides unmatched experiences for evening viewing that are hard to find elsewhere. And if we add to this the four-sided Ambilight system, evening screenings can look better than on any other television. The OLED910 is not just a screen for movies, but also a great choice for gamers. The fast 144 Hz panel, paired with a suite of features for gamers, does the job and gives the impression that this equipment is designed with modern gaming in mind. The sound also deserves special attention – in our opinion, this is the best built-in speaker system we've encountered in a television so far. The soundbar created in collaboration with Bowers & Wilkins shows that one can do without an external setup, and if someone wishes, they can always add a subwoofer and elevate to the level of a full-fledged home theater. Of course, this is not the cheapest model, and compared to its competitors, it requires digging deeper into your pockets. But it also has a few aces up its sleeve that make the extra cost seem justified. The question is: are you ready to spend more to have Ambilight, the Bowers & Wilkins soundbar, and the Tandem OLED panel? That’s something each person must assess for themselves. We can say one thing – by choosing the OLED910, you are buying one of the most interesting televisions of 2025.

The Philips OLED910 is a high-end television, and it's clear that the manufacturer has paid attention to detail. The first thing that catches the eye is, of course, Ambilight. But this time we don't have the classic three-sided setup, but a full, four-sided system that illuminates the entire wall behind the screen. That's why the OLED910 practically begs to be hung on the wall. The television itself isn't the thinnest, but that makes sense because the proper distance from the Ambilight LEDs delivers the best results here. Another strong feature is the built-in soundbar, developed in collaboration with Bowers & Wilkins. It looks elegant, finished in a gray fabric that matches the whole design and gives the equipment a truly prestigious look. At the back, we also find a solid low-frequency speaker setup. The overall design is minimalist yet very refined, and it’s hard to shake the impression that the OLED910 is a showcase of Philips' strength.

Visibility of details in the lights:
As is fitting for an OLED television, the Philips OLED910 also offers absolute black levels and remarkable contrast. This is a natural advantage of organic technology – each pixel is controlled independently, so when it needs to be black, it simply turns off. The image gains depth that even the best Mini-LED televisions cannot reproduce, where there is always the risk of slight "blooming" or halo effects around bright elements. There is no such issue with the OLED910 – dark scenes are fully credible, and at the same time, the television can render details in bright areas with great precision, maintaining their natural texture. In everyday viewing, this translates to an exceptional sense of realism and cinematic character. In this category, the OLED910 undoubtedly deserves the highest ratings.

OLED910 is simply an absurdly bright television for an OLED. All thanks to the new panel from LG Display, the Tandem RGB OLED, which Philips has dubbed its "META OLED." It is this panel that allows for over 2000 nits of brightness in films, which was previously completely unattainable in OLEDs. The way the television handles full-screen scenes drenched in bright light is also commendable. Usually, in OLEDs, brightness drops significantly, but here it remains at an excellent level - around 1400 nits. These are almost reference values, and combined with the great color gamut reproduction at 99% DCI P3 and 82% BT.2020, it gives us an HDR effect that can confidently be called one of the best in the world.
Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)
Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)
In movie scenes, the OLED910 looks simply fantastic. Thanks to its absurdly high brightness and excellent color reproduction, even the most challenging segments, such as "Pan" or "Billy Lynn," look almost identical to those on reference studio monitors. You can minimally notice a slightly cooler color tone, but that's a detail that doesn't detract from the great viewing experience in practice. The OLED910 handles these demanding scenes so effortlessly that it's hard not to feel like it's doing it "with a finger in its pocket."

The OLED910 is such a bright television that in most cases, standard HDR10 is more than enough. The image still looks great, full of contrast and detail. However, in very extreme scenes, when strong light (e.g., snowy shots) mixes with deep black on the screen, it's clear that Dolby Vision can improve things further and add some details that could be lost in static HDR. Fortunately, Philips doesn't compromise, and the OLED910 supports all popular formats. It has Dolby Vision, it has HDR10+, so regardless of whether you're watching Netflix, Apple TV+, or Prime Video, you can be sure that the television will show you the image in the best possible version.

Factory color reproduction
5.5/10
Unfortunately, when it comes to color reproduction right out of the box, the Filmmaker mode on the OLED910 performs poorly. The television overly emphasizes the color blue, and at times it almost looks like a store mode. It gives the impression that the manufacturer hasn't quite calibrated the device properly. The result is that colors look unnatural, and the overall effect resembles a somewhat exaggerated display from a market showcase. HDR content looks much better, where aside from a slight loss of detail in blacks, it's hard to find fault with anything. The problem is that in everyday viewing, it is the SDR materials that matter the most – and on the OLED910, they simply look bad and are far from what we would expect from a television of this class.
Color reproduction after calibration
9.4/10
Fortunately, it quickly turned out that it was not the panel that was responsible for the issues, but rather the way Philips had calibrated the OLED910 from the factory. After calibration, the television displayed its full potential, and only then could we see what the new panels produced by LG Display were truly capable of. We primarily corrected the white balance and brightness characteristics, which allowed us to tame the excessive blue and give the image a natural look. The final effect can be described as excellent. Errors on the Color Checker palette rarely exceeded a value of 3, which in practice means an image close to perfection and colors presented in accordance with the creators' intentions. In SDR content, the effect was remarkable, and in HDR, the improvement was even more noticeable – gradients became cleaner, and colors fuller and more believable. After calibration, the OLED910 transformed from a disappointing television into equipment that can easily be called reference-level in terms of color reproduction.
PHILIPS OLED910 - Smoothness of tonal transitions
7.5/10
When it comes to color combinations, the OLED910 performs quite well. In bright scenes, especially where strong bright colors dominate, it's hard to spot serious problems and the image looks very clear. It looks worse in darker segments, closer to the gray palette – there, you can notice characteristic banding that may start to irritate more discerning viewers after prolonged viewing. Overall, however, it's a decent level and in most movies or series, the effect shouldn't be particularly bothersome.
Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions
7/10
Smooth transition function
Image without overscan on the SD signal
The previously visible color artifacts can largely be eliminated thanks to a feature called "distortion reduction." Similar to the OLED820, it's best to set it to a medium level, as it then produces quite decent results – smoothing out unwanted tonal transitions while not taking away too many details from the image. Although there may be times when the effect is a bit too aggressive, it can generally be considered a useful feature for everyday viewing.
As for image scaling, the OLED910 performs really well. The test material with the model had a characteristic soft look typical of Philips – at times even too soft – but the sharpness slider can be adjusted at any moment to tailor the image to personal preferences. It's also worth noting that the TV has no issues with overscan, which still occurs in some competing models. It's a small detail, but it's pleasing because it means that all content, even the oldest, is displayed as it should be.
PHILIPS OLED910 - Blur and motion smoothness
8.5/10
Maximum refresh rate of the panel: 144Hz
Film motion smoothing option: Yes
Blur reduction option: Yes
BFI function 60Hz: No
BFI function 120Hz: No
The OLED910 is a television with a refresh rate of 144 Hz. It's a bit disappointing that Philips didn't choose 165 Hz, because we know that the panel used in it is capable of that. On the other hand, such a bonus would mainly benefit PC gamers, as in everyday use, the most important refresh rate is 120 Hz, which is fully sufficient. Combined with the advantages of an OLED panel – lightning-fast pixel response time and no motion blur, the image is impeccably sharp and fast, even in dynamic action scenes. Kudos also goes to Philips' traditional motion smoother called "Motion Style." We can easily adjust it to our preferences: the "Smoothness" slider is for movies and allows you to choose between a more "frame-like," cinematic character and a smooth, theatrical image. Meanwhile, the "Blur Reduction" slider is for sports; it is worth setting it to the maximum value here to ensure that the image is clear and distinct during very fast shots.

Smużenie (4K@144Hz):
The OLED910 handles motion blur perfectly, just like every OLED. The pixel response time is practically instantaneous, so the image remains sharp even during very fast camera movements. There is no stretching effect or "ghosting" behind objects, which can be a drawback of LCD TVs. One might consider even sharper images with the BFI feature, but we won't find it in this model. However, that's no loss because, in practice, BFI often brings more problems than benefits, causing flickering, double outlines, and a significant drop in brightness. The OLED910, without any additional tricks, still offers razor-sharp motion!

The OLED910 is excellent for gaming. It supports 144 Hz, so if someone has a powerful PC, they can easily take advantage of that potential. On consoles, 120 Hz is the most important, and everything works perfectly here. There is VRR, an automatic game mode, and even Dolby Vision in games along with an HGiG mode, so we actually get a full package of gaming features. Philips also added a Game Bar, which is a quick menu that shows basic information and allows you to enable a few useful things. It may not look as modern as the competition, but it works and serves its purpose. The only downside is the number of HDMI 2.1 ports. There are only two, which can be somewhat disappointing for a TV in this class. If someone is connecting two consoles and something additional to eARC - like a soundbar (which doesn't make much sense in this model, but we'll discuss that in the sound section), they'll need to figure things out a bit more. Other than that, the OLED910 has everything we expect from a gaming TV.
PHILIPS OLED910 - Input lag
10/10
In terms of input lag, the OLED910 has nothing to be ashamed of. In 120 Hz mode, the delay is about 5 ms, which is a benchmark result and ensures instant response. For 60 Hz content, the values rise to around 13 ms, but that is still a very good result, fully sufficient even for demanding gamers. Importantly, even in Dolby Vision, the input lag remains low, so one can enjoy both great picture quality and full responsiveness.

The OLED910 connected to a computer performs excellently in games. It has a 144 Hz refresh rate, very low input lag, and supports G-Sync, so everything runs smoothly and without delays. It's really hard to find anything to complain about for gaming. It gets worse if someone wants to use it for text work. Regular black-and-white fonts look fine, but the problem starts when colorful elements appear in the document. The lack of full chroma 4:4:4 support makes such text slightly blurry. It's an average solution for everyday office work.
PHILIPS OLED910 - Viewing angles
7.6/10
Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 28%
In this regard, the OLED910 performs very well. The new Tandem OLED RGB panel means that we no longer have the advantage that older MLA panels were able to achieve against QD-OLEDs. Here, instead of an "outstanding" level, we simply have "very good." Brightness decreases slightly when viewed at an angle, but color saturation is maintained, and even with a greater deviation, the image looks attractive. It will be hard to find a situation where the viewing angles in this model will actually bother someone.

Google TV and Smart Features
The OLED910 runs on the Google TV system, and this is definitely its strong point. We have access to a huge library of apps, from popular streaming platforms to niche programs. Additionally, there is voice search and Google Assistant, which works really smoothly and understands even less obvious commands like "check the weather" or "give me a horror movie suggestion for tonight." There is also support for AirPlay, which makes it easier to work with Apple devices. Unfortunately, classic screen mirroring simply did not work in our tests, so we cannot consider this feature a plus.
Classic Features
As for more traditional solutions, the OLED910 does not offer anything special. It has a rarely seen mini-jack headphone jack, which may be useful for seniors or people using older speakers. The remote control has backlit buttons, which is convenient, but it works via infrared, so you need to aim at the screen, which seems anachronistic in 2025. While you can use headphones and TV speakers simultaneously, unfortunately only via wired connection – it doesn't work wirelessly, which is a slight inconvenience since who would want to use wired headphones today. The PiP feature and USB recording capabilities are also missing.
4-Sided Ambilight System
And of course, Ambilight. The OLED910 has a full four-sided system. This is what makes the TV appear larger, and the content being watched gains additional depth and a more spectacular character. The impression is really strong, especially when the TV is hanging on the wall and the light fills the entire environment. It's one of those additions that are hard to give up once you've tried them.

This is one of the best-performing TVs we have had the opportunity to test in the editorial office. The built-in soundbar does all the work here, and you can confidently say that it can replace basic external audio systems. The sound is deep, clear, and really pleasant, and the collaboration with Bowers & Wilkins proves to be not just a marketing gimmick but a real enhancement of sound quality. If someone would like to take it a step further, Philips offers the option to connect an external subwoofer thanks to the dedicated pre-out connection. Then such a setup enters a level that is hard to find in TVs – and you can confidently talk about a truly cinematic experience.
