Upcoming Philips 65PFL9708: EUROPEAN ULTRA HD TV 2013-2014
The EISA Jury appointed the Philips 65PFL9708 as EUROPEAN ULTRA HD TV 2013-2014. The 165cm (65”) Philips UHD TV that will become available at a significantly lower price point than seen before for Ultra HD TVs, continues the Philips 9000 series’ track record having received an EISA award ten years in a row now.

The EISA Jury said: “With Ultra HD content the Philips 65PFL9708 offers astonishing depth and clarity and its upscaling talents improve the quality of Blu-ray, DVD and direct broadcast sources. Passive 3D images on this 65-inch TV also look razor-sharp thanks to the screen’s greater resolution. Other picture quality highlights include a robust edge LED system and superb brightness, contrast and motion performance, while Ambilight XL illumination makes the whole experience more immersive.”

“We see an increasing demand from both retail and consumers for top UHD TVs displaying crisp and sharp images from any source at an affordable price point. Therefore we incorporated all of our skills in picture quality to make our Philips UHD TV a good choice for a broad audience,” said Maarten de Vries, CEO TP Vision.

More details on the award-winning Philips 65PFL9708 such as official price and availability will be announced during the IFA press conference September 5th.

Philips TVs were awarded the EISA Green Award for the fourth year in a row. Commenting on the award the Jury said: “In a market of ever-increasing screen sizes, Philips continues to maintain its standing as an environmentally friendly brand. The Philips 50PFL5008 carries on this ethos, outperforming the competition with reduced energy consumption and efficient use of environmentally relevant materials in its printed circuit boards. The Philips brand extends its winning streak by earning the EISA Green Award again this year. “

“These awards are an endorsement of our efforts to deliver innovative and sustainable TVs, featuring the renowned Philips picture quality,” said Maarten de Vries, CEO TP Vision. “For TP Vision, sustainability is a clear competitive factor.
