Philips unveils new 9000 series with Ultra HD
We already knew pretty much everything about the 9000 series, but today at IFA Philips has made the 9000 range official. It comes in two sizes, 65 and 84”, with 3840x2160 pixels resolution and a slim, elegant design. The 65” has a 27W sound system, and the 84” has a more capable 90W system.

The 9000 TVs will include Philips’ signature feature Ambilight. Both come with three-sided Ambilight and can also enter the Hue+Ambilight living room system. The Ultra HD panels are driven by Philips’ Ultra Pixel HD Engine that also takes care of upscaling. A Micro Dimming Pro algorithm aims to increase contrast in images, and also reacts to your viewing environments with the help of a small ambient sensor in the frame of the TV. In addition to that Philips boasts a 900 Hz PMR system, and Easy 3D (Philips’ name for passive 3D). The TVs have 5 HDMI ports, but no words from Philips regarding HDMI 2.0.
