Philips flagship OLED+ TVs dump Google TV but power up picture quality – though there’s a catch

The OLED+951 comes in two sizes – 65 and 77in – as usual for Philips’ high-end sets, but there are more options with the OLED+911

Philips TV

Philips has revealed its latest high-end OLED+ TV sets, but there’s a catch in that they won’t be available until a lot later in the year. The OLED+911 will debut in Jue, while the range-topping OLED+951 will be launched in September.

The OLED+951 comes in two sizes – 65 and 77in – as usual for Philips’ high-end sets, but there are more options with the OLED+911 which comes in 48, 55, 65 and 77in. Both now also adopt Titan OS, previously used in lower-end Philips TVs. Google TV is no longer being used, partly because of issues with the lack of support for some streaming services as well as streaming technologies such as Apple’s AirPlay 2.

TitanOS includes access to Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, YouTube and Prime Video, with Apple TV due to be available from Spring 2026. TitanOS is also compatible with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple AirPlay 2 and Control 4.

Both new sets feature a brand new 10th gen version of Philips’ P5 AI Dual Engine picture processor and have META 4.0 Primary RGB Tandem 2.0 165Hz WOLED panel from LG. The OLED+911 also has a a redesigned Bowers & Wilkins 3.1 sound system with an 81W output.

There are two different size tube-shaped sound enclosures depending on which size you buy, but the audio tech is identical. The drive units are a completely new design this year, while more work has been done to isolate the subwoofer from the rest of the TV.

The OLED+951 has a 70W 2.2 sound system but it has not been tuned or designed by Bowers & Wilkins.

I did wonder whether Bowers & Wilkins tech would be included at all this time around as with previous generations because Bowers has recently been bought by Harman, owned by Samsung and therefore a competitor to Philips TVs.

They also both support Dolby Vision 2 Max (the top spec of the standard), They have a four-sided Ambilight system as you’d expect from the top-of-the-range sets, and they’re also compatible with Philips’ new AmbiScape tech based around the Matter smart home platform.

This panel is capable of a higher peak light output of up to a huge 4500 Nits. Philips also adds that the ultra-low reflection tech here can block more than 99% of any on-screen reflections.

The sets are powered by the MediaTek Pentonic 800 platform that also enables the OLED+951 to offer four HDMI connections compatible with HDMI 2.1.
