Philips Ambilight TVs have always been incredibly eye-catching.
As TVs in general continue to progress and evolve, Ambilight itself has done the same.

Theres even an option to follow audio if youre streaming music through the TV as well.
For others, its a gimmick which thankfully can be turned off.
If Im completely honest, I was very on the fence with it.

It was an intriguing feature, but one that didnt affect my opinion of the TV itself.
I recently got to review the mid-priced Philips AmbilightOLEDTV from its 2023 lineup, the OLED808.
As I set up and tested the TV, I was suitably impressed with its overall quality.

Then I came to the Ambilight.
Again, I watched different TV shows and movie scenes and thought, Hey, this is pretty neat.
Lightsabers in particular are an excellent test for color (and they look cool).
Another movie that Ambilight gave an extra layer to wasGodzilla vs Kong.
Where does the OLED808 stand?
But the C3 doesnt have Ambilight.
Another OLED808 rival is theSamsung S90C, which we recently named ourTV of the year.
But the S90C doesnt have Ambilight.
Are you starting to see a theme here?
But, you guessed it, the A80L doesnt have Ambilight.
It really needs to be seen to be believed.
You may not be the kid at Christmas like I was, but I can guarantee youll have fun.
