Our take on the Televisor 43 Pulgadas QLED 43PQS8501/12
The Philips 43PQS8501/12 is a 43-inch 4K QLED television with three-sided Ambilight that projects the on-screen colors onto the wall behind it. It runs at a 60 Hz native refresh rate, supports HDR, and has Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth plus DVB-T/T2/C/S/S2 tuners. It suits a bedroom, small living room or secondary set where the Ambilight glow matters more than deep blacks. Against similarly sized QLED rivals, its picture is bright and colorful but its contrast and motion handling sit below sets with local dimming or 120 Hz panels.
- Three-sided Ambilight adds ambient light behind the TV
- QLED panel with 4K resolution and HDR support
- Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth built in
- DVB-T2, DVB-C and DVB-S2 tuners cover cable and satellite

Questions and answers
- What is Ambilight and does it help?
- Ambilight projects the colors on screen onto the wall behind the TV, extending the picture beyond the frame. It softens viewing in a dark room and makes the set feel larger, but it does not improve contrast or black levels.
- Is 60 Hz enough for gaming?
- It is fine for casual console play at 4K 60 fps, but the 60 Hz panel and lack of variable refresh rate make it less suited to fast competitive gaming than 120 Hz sets.
- Does it have a satellite tuner?
- Yes. It supports DVB-T, DVB-T2, DVB-C, DVB-S and DVB-S2, so it works with aerial, cable and satellite feeds without an external box.
- What mount does it need?
- It uses a VESA 200 x 100 mm wall bracket. Check that your bracket supports the TV's weight before mounting.
- How does it compare with a same-size OLED?
- The QLED panel gets brighter and avoids OLED burn-in risk, but an OLED at this size gives deeper blacks and wider viewing angles. The Philips wins mainly on Ambilight and price positioning.
