MagyarNew Philips OLED and LCD TVs to come with Bowers & Wilkins audio technology during extended partnership
It appears the idea of combining the visual expertise of Philips with the audio expertise of Bowers & Wilkins has been fruitful for the two companies, as they have decided to extend their partnership for the future and plan to release more devices in the next few months. The already released Philips 65OLED+984 and 65OLED+934 televisions incorporated sound equipment from Bowers & Wilkins and have been highly praised by reviewers.
According to the press release, fans of the companies can expect new Philips/Bowers & Wilkins products during the second half of 2020. These products include some more OLED+ models and apparently some LCD televisions that will offer a range of smaller sizes for customers to choose from. But those interested in buying one of these dual-effort OLED+ devices better be ready for an expensive purchase.
Even with it boasting a 4K OLED screen, HDR10+ support, smart TV functions, 4x HDMI, 3 x 20 W speakers, Dolby Atmos support, and all the Philips Ambilight features for enhanced viewing and better gaming experiences, the 65OLED984 still costs a pretty penny. The 65-inch television had a price tag of £4,499 (US$5,648) when tested by What Hi-Fi, although it did receive considerable praise for both its picture and sound.
