It's a shame that Philips doesn't sell its displays here in the U.S. because its 2025 TV lineup (available in Europe) is looking like its prettiest offering yet. Going hand in hand with its Hue lighting range, Philips' newest TVs sport sophisticated backlighting with colors that sync with whatever is on the screen. It's as mesmerizing as it is ingenious, and I wish more TV brands would offer features like this.
These design changes, though incredibly simple, speak to the fact that TVs are going stale. Sure, we're seeing some exciting internal tech upgrades, like LG's four-stack OLED panel and the new ThermalFlow cooling found on Panasonic's 2025 TV lineup, but do these major advancements offer that much excitement to the general consumer? I'm led to believe they don't.
