Conclusion
Available in 55 and 65 inches, Philips OLED805 replaces last year's 8 series OLED804. It also exists in OLED855 and OLED865 design variants with different stand solutions (i.e. swivel). It comes with Android 9.0 pre-installed but there is not much new to report. Android offers a rich selection of apps, built-in Chromecast, Assistant, and more, but the user interface can still be rough around the edges. The MediaTek SoC powering the TV does not match Nvidia Shield, and Android TV gaming remains an elusive field due to multiple factors.
In, and even above, its price segment, OLED805 delivers excellent picture quality as we have come to expect from OLED TVs. Inky blacks, accurate colors, very fast response time, and just as important all of its picture parameters are consistent, not reliant on various boost or dynamic systems. OLED805 also delivers some of the best HDR picture quality on the market. With up to 800-900 nits peak brightness, it even comes close to our reference TV, Panasonic GZ2000, which is a more expensive TV.
An area where OLED805 does not excel is in gaming. It lacks HDMI 2.1 ports, VRR, and other features, which means that it will not be able to deliver the full 4K120 gaming experience with some next-gen games on consoles like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Its input lag is 33 ms, which is also higher than TVs from competing brands. With that being said, it is still a perfectly good TV for casual gaming on current-gen consoles.
There is a new leather-bound remote control and of course Philips' signature feature Ambilight (3-sided) that has, over the years, been expanded to include Hue integration, a bias lighting option, and more. The built-in speakers are surprisingly punchy for such a slim TV and above average for TVs, although not on par with the B&W systems in higher-end Philips TVs.
OLED805 can perhaps best be summed up as a refined Philips TV. Its Achilles' heel is gaming but if you can accept that OLED805/OLED855/OLED865 is one of the best TVs in its class. This TV deserves our Highly Recommended Award.
