Edit: have to use port 3 or 4 to get 144hz and complete vrr support.

I just received this yesterday because I bought this back when the 50" version first was posted on sd.

I've had some experiences with cheap 120hz tvs used as monitors before so I was prepared for problems with the tv and I got them.

I updated the firmware immediately when getting the tv. The panel was well protected by a thick slab of honeycombed cardboard.

The good news is there is no resolution downscaling when running at 4k 120hz like other cheap 120hz tvs have.

TV only works in 144hz mode when run on 1920x1080. At any higher resolution, it will force you to 120hz. Also, in order to enable VRR at 4k (which is disabled and not even clickable), you have to go into 1920 mode, enable vrr, apply settings, then switch back to 4k 120hz.

I tried running this at 2560x1440 and the image was messed up. https://imgur.com/a/bRiufaz . This is common on tvs because they often neglect non-tv resolutions.

Games would all cause the tv to go into 60hz mode when they ran. In order to fix this, I had to go into the nvidia control panel, change resolution, then scroll away from the "ultra hd..." section to the PC section and select 3840x2160 and 120hz. Note that 144hz is not an available option. However, doing this turned off Dynamic Refresh rate in Windows. Turning Dynamic Refresh rate back on in Windows would then switch Nvidia control panel back to 60hz for games (although it was still running at 120hz in windows). Btw, pressing the settings button on the remote twice will show you what your current refresh rate is.

I notice a fine cross hatch pattern while moving in games that is not visible while standing still. From prior experience, this means that the tv is running in hdr mode even while hdr is disabled and mapping 8bit color channels into 6bits so as to leave 2 bits of space for HDR and then using temporal color dithering to simulate the lost colors.

I also set the hdml signal mode to enhanced (aka hdmi 2.1) like Notadealio recommended but all the problems were unchanged. It was on auto before and I am using a 2.1 cable so i think it detected the correct hdmi mode to begin with.

All in all a lot of compromises with this tv but it's cheap.
Bought one on Cyber Monday.

My takeaways:

-OS was sluggish out of the box. 144hz worked fine until I did an OS update, then it disabled enhanced HDMI mode and locked it to 60hz. Re-enabling enhanced mode allowed 144hz to work again. I factory-reset the TV and the OS is MUCH faster, but on reset 144hz mode vanished and only allowed me to select 120hz mode. Re-applying OS updates enabled 144hz again.

-Response times are around 4-5ms. This is fairly acceptable for the type of panel the TV has.

-It is a VA panel, so blacks look great and colors are vibrant. It has a prominent color-shift when viewed at an angle, but I've not observed ghosting and the motion blur inherent with VA panels is palatable when gaming (also not the worst I've seen from a VA).

-Freesync works just fine with my Nvidia laptop and my AMD desktop.

-Text is clear and this would would fairly-well for a monitor connected to a PC in my opinion.

-The speakers are not particularly good, but they're serviceable.

-I rather like the remote. It has a button to enable low-latency game mode that is quite handy.

-Beware spamming buttons on the remote. The TV accepts all button presses in a que, so if you experience lag and press a button repeatedly in an attempt to get the TV to comply.. you will be waiting a moment as it cycles through all your inputs in-order. Before I reset the OS the system hanged when I was enabling game mode with the remote and in my frustration I pressed the button around seven times -I was forced to watch the TV enable and disable game mode in slow-motion several times before it would comply (this prompted my factory reset of the thing).

Overall it's stupendous for the money. I wouldn't buy it for anyone older than gen-x due to the software quirks though.

Doesn't have local dimming if that's important to you. Also HDR brightness is 320nits but HDR on PC gaming is kinda wonky.

For the size and price and features this will be a rad gaming screen for most. Just add an LED back lighting kit which can help make the black levels look a bit better. 144hz 4k free sync premium (will work on Nvidia with G-Sync too. Enable not validated as G-Sync compatible setting in the Nvidia Control Panel)

Dang, I didn't need a tv, but here I am buying one. Usually smaller sizes they'll stick to 720p or 1080p, but this is 4k 144hz, crazy. Built in Google TV with USB input will probably allow my to watch media from a USB drive. It's not terribly bright at 320 so I would probably turn off HDR. It also has free sync...

Damn I really wasn't gonna buy myself a christmas gift this year.. but I couldn't stop going back to this and looking at it. It's just sooo appealing it's got absolutely everything! Even G-sync I'm hearing that's nuts. Gonna finally upgrade from this HPx32 hopefully it's worth the upgrade. It's more advertised as a monitor it's odd never seen anything like this. Google tv is just the cherry on top!

Funai has had the licence for Philips and Magnavox TVs in North America since 2009. Funai also has the Sanyo license. In fact they are the largest Japanese manufacturer of TVs in North America. That's not saying a lot and just goes to show how much Japanese TV brands have fallen this century.

TP Vision has the Philips license for TVs for the rest of the world. They also have the global Philips' audio business under their subsidiary MMD, since previous license holder Gibson went bankrupt.

TP Vision is also the largest manufacturer of PC monitors under Philips, Envision, AOC, etc. They probably make your OEM PC monitor.

OLED is in a class of its own, especially when it comes to the darkest blacks. but for 25% of the price of the OLED this TV would give you a lot more enjoyment per dollar. 4k on a 43" is pretty much overkill for pixel density fwiw
Perhaps dumb question - would this panel be considered (or is) TN or IPS...?

All the reviews on Walmart website are paid. It says part of promotion from "influencer 'dot' com"
Never heard of them. I guess you can get a free Tv from that site.
It just came out. Like a new kid in your block that you just go "ahh. Who is this guy I wonder? Is he one of us? I shall observe/listen"

I see. Can an adaptor to either 100mm or 75mm work? do you know?

Doubtful. TPV technologies owns Philips now. Same company that makes AOC monitors. This is probably their own in house product.

I've noticed Philips units popping up in places. There's never really been a good deal on these TVs but this one actually seemingly good. Very few TVs with 120Hz at this low price.

I feel like this company is trying to make a serious entry into the TV business but expect the same kind of budget TV problems Hisense has.
TPV does not own Philips and they are not involved with Philips TVs in North America.

Had thisTV delivered last Friday and set it up. It does everything as advertised. My PS5 immediately recognized the higher HZ and set it at the PS5 max of 120HZ. Have it connected to my PC and it works great. Haven't tried any PC games yet but I would not expect to have any issues.

TV is easy to set up and the picture has been great. Thought about getting a 165HZ monitor at first, but didn't want the hassle of going out to buy speakers for both the PS5 and my PC, since very few monitors have built-in speakers. At this price this TV is literally a no-brainer.

This checks more boxes than less for $250.

Is this the obvious choice at $225 before tax (well known CB)

vs

SAMSUNG 43" Class DU7200 at $180 before tax (Sam's w/ 22% personalized CB)?
The Samsung is 60Hz and no HDMI 2.1. That is a typical television.

Are you able to test and see if it does Chroma 4:4:4 from the test link earlier in the thread? For many that's a deal breaker for using on the PC for productivity/etc. Thanks!

This is literally the only 43" lcd tv that isn't 60 hz. 42 woled will set you back approx $800 and is extremely aggressive when dimming whites.

Ill bite.
This is half the price, but there are other options out there that aren't OLED like the Sony 43" X85K.
