Picked up a 3 side ambilight after Christmas & have to say I’m delighted with it. The internet browser part’s pretty poor, but picture & ambilight more than compensate! (least I think so)
(There’s old threads on this telly on boards)

shoxter · 26-05-2018 7:25pm

I have the 48" of this tv, cant fault it. The ambilights a nice feature, can be switched off if you want but i have become used to it especially for movies and sport.

Did you ever work out what the best settings were? I could never find a website that gave the settings and the numbers.

A Law · 26-05-2018 9:59pm

Think it was darko calibration on you tube for the settings.

Tried it just now, but could not find it for Philips 50PUS6272/05

Tried a random similar sounding philips tv but the settings they suggest look bad on it, so guessing that's not what they really mean for mine.

brendan86 · 26-05-2018 11:48pm

I got this tv also recently so if anyone could point me in right directions for settings would appreciate it ðŸ‘

Lu Tze · 27-05-2018 11:06am

While having a few drinks watching the final last night I reserved this in arklow (nearest place with stock) and was going to spin down today. Have been informed we will need new furniture/TV unit to accommodate this, by she who must be obey, so I'm going to give it a miss. If anybody is thinking about it, the stock should show up again in arklow on Tuesday. Or PM me and I'll send on the code

I'm not that clued in with TVs, so, is this a good TV at a good price?

Sorry - Never did find “recommended” settings - the list of options is baffling within the TV menus! (Still delighted with the telly though in fairness)

cefh17 · 27-05-2018 2:38pm

Got this tv for I think e520 on Amazon, never managed to get it for the price in Argos as even with a reserve code they said it was oos. But 480 is a great price. As people said the calibration settings are nowhere to be found online but when it's wall mounted is when the Ambilight really shines.

Testament1 · 27-05-2018 6:31pm

Showing as Out of Stock for Galway and the three Limerick stores.

sylwunia · 27-05-2018 11:02pm

If anyone wants to buy this TV in Argos I have it reserved in Carlow store until the end of business day tomorrow.Just found a receipt with extended warranty on the the TV that broke down so I am not buying it anymore. Pm me for reservation code

Coill1 · 28-05-2018 10:42am

The 55” PUS6272 is down to €609 in Argos as of this morning (according to PriceSpy)

For anyone who has this TV, did ye have any issues connecting it to a WIFI network?

I went through the set up yesterday and it would scan for available wifi networks and located them. But when I selected my VM network nothing happened, but when i selected the neighbours older UPC wifi it went to the next screen where I am requested to input the network key.

I had to create a guest wifi on my network with no password and it then worked.

Ideally , i would like the TV to be on the same network as my Hue bridge as I am also having issues connecting to it.

I've had issues with wifi on my PUS6262. Flaky at best. I hard wired the TV to the router

Basq · 28-05-2018 2:48pm

I've a valid code til 6pm this evening in Sligo if someone wants it.

WellyJ · 28-05-2018 3:17pm

Code for Swords here valid til 1830 today if anyone wants. Having thought about it all weekend I don't think I can justify it haha.

The only thing stopping me on this is the measly 3 HDMI sockets Though, I suppose I could just get a HDMI switch - but, I've yet to find a decent one that works will with HDMI-CEC

Even my parents' 9 year old Samsung did work fine with HDMI-CEC and rPi and MiBox...

Maybe it is your receiver that is dodgy?

kaltz · 28-05-2018 4:13pm

Code for Athlone if anyone wants it

Had the same issue. Took about 4 attempts but it finally worked. Just turning off the TV and restarting the whole process sorted it (Eventually). The software is the only drawback of this telly, but once you've everything configured its a gem

Can someone please tell me more about this €10 voucher mentioned in the title?

There is some very limited stock in Dublin area and I reserved one to pick up today or tomorrow.

If you buy anything in Argos over €100, you get a €10 voucher for another purchase. If you spend €50, you get a €5 voucher. So you could in theory if you needed another thing in argos over €100 you could buy it in a separate transaction then buy the tv and use the €10 voucher making it cheaper.

Have a reservation for the TV in Blanch Shopping centre valid till end of the day (Friday) that I won't be using. PM me if interested!

absolutegroove · 01-06-2018 6:01pm

In case anyone missed this deal and want this specific tv then DID Electical have it on sale for €499.99 for the Bank Holiday Weekend.

freebee23 · 03-06-2018 12:02pm

Just had a look online at the DID TV and it is the older 6262 model. The one in Argos is the newer 6272 model. I have a reservation for one in Argos in Blanchardstown to be collected by close of business tomorrow 4th June if anyone wants it.
Cheers,

i seen the one in DID today, caught my eye. is there much of a difference between the 2 models????

looks to be a good quality/size tv for the price

i was close to taking the plunge today in DID but decided to research some reviews when i got a chance and then came across this post in bargain alerts
