  1. I've moved to the Apple Mouse (the wireless one) - and on Safari, the mouse jitters or inadvertently zooms in and out - has anyone else had this issue? It's a 2019 iMac.

  2. Went with the Philips one.
  3. That TV lasted long. Getting a replacement model next week.
  4. Wajoo what happened?

    Considering an Ambilight as well, did you like it?
  5. The picture quality was awful in dark scenes. It really struggled and looked pixelated. It happened on everything I was using. Netflix, the PS5, SKY etc. I showed pictures to the shop and they said straight away it looks like a faulty unit but Google suggests that all Philips TV panels are poor. They're sending me a replacement model next week and if I still have the same issue then they said I change brand.



    The Ambilight however is absolutely brilliant and I can't say enough about it. It definitely is the biggest selling point of Philips TVs. It might appear a novelty but it genuinely adds to your experience so much. I watched the 360 Blu Ray the other day and Ultra Violet genuinely blew me away with the colours coming from the TV. I can't upload videos here which is a shame but it is definitely worth it.

    The picture of UV doesn't do it justice.



  6. Uitra Violet looks amazing like that!

    I didn't know that feature, this Ambilight thing looks awesome What a bummer about the dark scenes though, that's awful quality. I wonder how they can get away with selling that!
  8. My replacement model arrived yesterday and it had the same issue. Apparently it effects all LCDs made by Philips. From reading some forums I've worked out it's actually a HDR issue. Turn that off and it does look better, but still not the same as the other TV's in the house. Philips have emailed me some instructions to try.
  9. I tried the instructions and sent Philips the results. After a month or so of me asking if there was any updates and receiving the same answer of "we're still investigating" they emailed me to say as a gesture of good will they will be exchanging my current model for an OLED.

    The model they were offering retails for £1,500 however I noticed their top of the range OLED had a built in Bowers and Wilkins soundbar. I tried my luck and asked if I could receive that model instead. This one retails for £2000 and they said yes! It arrived today and I set it up earlier. I'm really happy with it and I can finally watch dark lit scenes in good quality now! Originally I bought a £400 LCD model but ended up with a 2 grand OLED model just because I complained to Customer Support .

  10. Result!
  11. Yea so that’s win. Well done.

    Haha great stuff, congrats! I had something similar with a laptop a few years ago, ASUS gave me a top laptop and even let me keep the faulty one (which was pretty much usable anyway)
