The 2026 range at a glance

Philips organises its 2026 range into two families. The OLED, for perfect blacks and cinema, and the LCD (QLED and RGB Mini LED), for large sizes and tighter budgets. Almost all models have theAmbilight, and all run under Titan OS, except the OLED901 in 42 and 48 inches, which stayed on Google TV.

Clément's tip

In this range, two series stand out from the crowd. TheOLED811 (or the 851) for picture and gaming: it's the best value-for-money Philips. And The One PQS9001 for a large family screen at a sensible price. Between a PQS8601 in 75 inches and a PQS9001 in 65 inches at the same price, I'd choose the PQS9001 if you game: 144 Hz and Dolby Vision on top.

Decoding a Philips model number

Example: 55OLED851/12.

  • 55 : the screen size in inches.
  • OLED : the technology. PQS = QLED (the Q for quantum dots), MLED = Mini LED. The former prefixes were PUS (4K LED), PFS (Full HD), PHS (HD) and PML (Mini LED 2024).
  • 8 : the series (9 = top of the range, 8 = upper mid-range, 7 = entry-level 4K, 6 = Full HD and small formats).
  • 5 : the variant. 811, 821 and 851 share the same electronics; only the design or the stand changes.
  • 1 : the year. 1 = 2026, 0 = 2025, 9 = 2024.
  • /12 : the version for continental Europe.

Good news: in France and Belgium, Philips uses exactly the same model numbers, with the same specifications on philips.fr and philips.be. No naming traps like with some other brands.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between the OLED811 and the OLED851?

None for picture, sound or gaming: same panel, same processor, same 70 W sound. The OLED851 only has a central stand in dark grey 'Gun Metal' and only comes in 55 and 65 inches.

Is the Philips The One PQS9001 a Mini LED?

No. It's a QLED LCD screen with a conventional LED backlight and a software contrast adjustment called Micro Dimming. The only Philips Mini LED model in 2026 is the 85MLED981, in RGB Mini LED.

Is the OLED+911 worth the price gap over the OLED811?

Yes, if you want a brighter picture, Ambilight on all four sides and genuinely good sound without a soundbar, thanks to the Bowers & Wilkins system. If you already have a soundbar, the OLED811 offers the best value for money.

What does the /12 at the end of Philips model numbers mean?

This is the version for continental Europe. Models sold in France and Belgium carry the same reference with /12, with the same specifications.

Is the PQS8601 suitable for a PS5?

It works, of course, but only at 60 Hz. To make the most of the PS5's 120 Hz, choose the PQS9001 The One or an OLED811.
