Add DisplaySpecifications as a preferred source on GoogleThe 2026 Philips PQL7556 4K UHD QLED+ Google TV series for the U.S. market has just been launched. This feature‑packed lineup is designed to deliver a true cinematic experience at home. With a massive matte display, advanced eye‑care technology, and a suite of smart features powered by Google TV, the series positions itself as one of the ambitious large‑format consumer TVs on the U.S. market. Currently, Philips has listed only one model from the PQL7556 QLED+ series:
At the heart of the new series is a 4K UHD matte display engineered to eliminate glare and reflections - an increasingly important feature as TVs grow larger and homes rely on mixed lighting environments. The 4K Ultra HD QLED+ panels promise rich color reproduction, improved brightness longevity thanks to heat‑resistant materials, and wide 178º viewing angles that maintain clarity from virtually anywhere in the room. Most probably, the Philips 100PQL7556/F7 uses a BOE HF100QUB-E22 display panel but that's not confirmed officially.
The TVs support a full suite of premium picture technologies, including Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HLG, and a native 144Hz refresh rate supported by AMD FreeSync Premium Pro certification. The latter is particularly notable, placing the TV among the fastest large‑format displays available and making it an appealing option for gamers and sports fans seeking ultra‑smooth motion.
Philips integrates its EyeCare suite into the series, offering flicker‑free performance and reduced blue light output. The company says this helps minimize eye strain during long viewing sessions - an increasingly relevant consideration as screen time continues to rise across households.
Running on Android 14 with Google TV, the new series provides access to more than 10,000 apps and streaming services. Personalized profiles allow each family member to receive tailored recommendations, while Google Assistant is built directly into the TV for hands‑free control. Users can search for content, adjust settings, or manage smart home devices simply by using their voice. Google Cast is also integrated, enabling seamless casting of movies, photos, and apps from mobile devices.
Philips adds several quality‑of‑life features that go beyond picture and sound:
- Anti‑bacterial remote designed to resist germs
- Find My Remote function that triggers an audible alert when the remote is misplaced
- 800+ free live TV channels accessible through the Live TV tab
A built‑in 2.1‑channel speaker system with Dolby Audio aims to deliver fuller sound without requiring an external soundbar. The TV supports a wide range of video codecs, including H.264, H.265/HEVC, MPEG2, and MPEG4, ensuring compatibility with most modern media formats.
With its combination of a massive matte display, high refresh rate, robust smart features, and thoughtful convenience additions, the Philips PQL7556 QLED+ Google TV series enters the large‑format TV market with confidence. It's clearly aimed at consumers seeking a premium home theater upgrade - one that blends performance, comfort, and modern smart‑home integration.
