    Thanks.. but Oh so close.
    When will they drop a 3 sided ambilight on offer like that, it's always the two sided ones.
    Have a 6 year old two sided and a 11 year 3 sided and the 3 sided effect is soooo much better. Want to replace both!

    Say that again.
    What is this about 2 sided and 3 sided?

    I haven't bought it myself yet, perhaps that code has expired
    It was fine this morning

    Edit - still working for me.
    Maybe you have used too many codes

    Say that again.
    What is this about 2 sided and 3 sided?

    Ambilight light comes in several flavours, two side, three side, four sided, they even have a one with projector at the back for projecting the colours on your wall (only on the highest end version). The three side means you get a light bar on the top as well as the sides. Having seen them all on demo I got the three-sided one years ago and a two side one a few years later. IMO, The three sides is just as good as the four or projector but the two-sided one is lacking.


    Here's a vid to show the difference between 2,3 and 4 sided Ambilight and the high-end AmbiLux :

    Big price drop on this 55 inch just now. Free delivery in the UK. How much would it cost to get this to Ireland via PW or any similar site?

    Anyone used Addresspal for something like this? https://addresspal.anpost.ie/pricing-sizing

    Thanks, was going to pull the trigger until I saw this. Will keep an eye out for a bargain on the three sides one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,546 ✭✭✭✭colm_mcm


    Have they still persisted with this businessnof turning the tv on with the CH +/- buttons? Phillips TVs just remind me of hotel rooms.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,840 ✭✭✭irishproduce


    Wow the ambilux thing looks great

    I have the 3 sided one, definitely worth holding out for. It also syncs with any Hue lights that you have, great job for matches, movies and gaming.

    Bought 2 of these in Argos last November for €520 each.
    Great Tv for the price,very good 4k and HD picture.
    Have had no problems with them.
    Ambilight looks great at night time.

    Does the background wall matter ie dark wallpaper?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 108 ✭✭NellyMcD


    It works better with a more reflective surface. Black probably wouldn't be great?

    Not sure about the native media player but you can download MX player (or VLC) from the playstore and toggle subs on and off from there.

    Having looked at the 3 sided and 4 sided ones over last few days, it is highly unlikely they will come down by much as the draw of their light options is what would make someone pay higher? LIke I suppose the 2 sided one would be bought on impulse so is more likely to be found reduced

    Yep. Every time I see Philips tv on offer it's ambilight being talked about but more often than not its the two sided ones. Don't think we will be seeing 3 or 4 sides any time soon. Also shocking price difference for only an extra light bar...

    Last time I had to use richershounds to get a better deal but I don't think they have that brand anymore.
    I felt bad recommending ambilight to friends when most people got 2 sided one and then tell me how crap it looked compared to the three or four... But that's a matter of opinion I suppose

    I ordered the phillips tv,tbh i never had an ambilight one,but i dont think it would bother me if i had it turned on or off,the specs and price attracted me to it,€ 485 delivered was a great price.i have never had a phillips tv before but the reviews of this one were mostly positive,anyway i will know myself next monday when its delivered :)

    I had the TV from this bargain, but just sold it to a friend. I really want to replace it with a bigger model that also has ambilight. If anyone has any advice!
