The Philips Elevation is an HDTV with an interesting set of features and a very different TV remote from others. The television offers a backlighting ability that can change colors of LEDs facing the wall to match the colors on the TV screen. The Elevation can control numerous LEDs within close range, too, such as lamps and such. It leaves an interesting effect in a room for those watching TV, but may not be desired by all HDTV enthusiasts.
The remote looks like a standard remote control, but it offers a hidden keypad on the back. This keypad can be used with the Smart TV and Internet browsing capabilities. However, it seems a little like overkill, and the buttons are crowded together. The mouse can also be used as a pointer. The TV is very slim, with an equally slim bezel. Devices using the same Wi-Fi connection can have their screens mirrored for easy video viewing.
Pros:
- Ultra slim model
- Clear stand
- Control the TV with an app
- Excellent picture quality
- Cast picture from devices to screen
- 900Hz motion rate for excellent motion sharpness
- Remote with many features
Cons:
- Price is still a little high at $5,000
- Features are little like overkill
- The lighting feature may annoy some customers
Bottom Line:
This is a great TV with excellent features for the money. Many of the features are only offered on this TV and not on others. The Elevation offers a full range of Smart TV apps easily accessible with the pointer remote. Skype is also a native program on the TV, with the remote’s keyboard being handy for chatting.
