Is 144Hz useful for console gaming?

Only if your console or PC can output high frame rates. PS5 and Xbox Series X support up to 120Hz, so the panel covers that with headroom. PC gamers with a capable GPU get the full benefit.

Does it support Dolby Vision and Atmos?

Yes, it handles both Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos audio. Atmos from the built-in speakers is limited, so a soundbar or AV receiver gets more out of it.

Is Google TV easy to use?

Yes. Google TV puts streaming apps and recommendations on one screen, and the voice remote works with Google Assistant. Setup with a Google account is quick.

How does it compare with an OLED TV?

OLED gives deeper blacks and wider viewing angles. This QLED set is brighter in some scenes and costs less for the size, but dark-room contrast is not as good.

The TV, a voice remote, a stand and power cable. Check the listing for the exact remote and stand included.

Can I use it as a PC monitor?

Yes. The 4K resolution and 144Hz refresh with FreeSync Premium make it a good large-screen monitor for gaming, though text sharpness is below a dedicated monitor.

Our take on the Philips QLED+ 4K Ultra HD Google Smart TV 144Hz 50-inch

This is a 50-inch QLED 4K Google TV built around gaming: a 144Hz panel, AMD FreeSync Premium and Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support. Google TV with voice control covers streaming apps, and the QLED layer gives it better brightness and color than plain LED sets at the same size. It suits console and PC gamers and movie watchers who want one screen for both. Against rivals, its 144Hz and FreeSync Premium stand out at this size, though it lacks the deep blacks of OLED and the anti-glare coating of some premium LCDs.
