It's my first time hearing about a Philips OLED in the US. First Panasonic and now Philips. It's good to see competition in the OLED space.
Just something to be aware of and I'm not sure if it applies to OLED technology so you may be ok here, but back a couple of firmware releases ago, Roku took out the option to turn OFF motion smoothing (interpolation aka soap opera effect). Just completely removed it from the options menu and it's now stuck on permanently.

Many threads on Reddit and their own Roku branded tv sets discuss this so please do your due diligence researching this issue.
Sounds like this model was announced yesterday.

Misinformation.
A firmware bug did occur on some models years ago that caused that. Roku addressed it. It is not some ongoing thing and has no longer been the case for years.

Roku TVs have the ability to turn off Motion Smoothing in the menu and always have.

Someone always randomly adds this in every Roku thread almost as if they work for a competitor looking to defame the product.

What's a funny shaped plug?
ha i don't know what it is called but it was more circular and angled to help the wire sit flat. which i am sure works fine but for my unique case of the in the wall power outlet, that plug is just a little too thick or hits the in wall power outlet and didn't allow it to plug in corectly.

my tv is hung up on an exterior wall which is supposedly a no-no for in wall power outlets but the house came like this and i am too cautious to mess with it.

the tv i tried was a Samsung SN85 i believe?

Starting 4/1, there is a 5% rewards with Discover.
Thanks. Unfortunately Discover has removed the extended warranty benefit. Other credit cards still provide it. I rarely use Discover because other cards provide better regular cash back with extra benefits. That said, an approximate $50 benefit is nice.

Good. Who doesn't like smooth motion.

I have the opposite problem with my 2022 LG OLED - I turn on Motion Clarity - Natural - and it always disables that setting every time I turn the TV off, and I have to re-enable it every time for every input.
It's a PITA. If given the option to leave it on once and for all, I'd jump on it.
I hate the soap opera effect.

I have one on order, but I'm traveling so I won't get to test it out until next weekend. But I have read reviews from other people who have received theirs already. If there is an issue, it's backed by a three-year warranty at Sam's Club.

Since the TV comes with 3 years warranty, I am not sure if credit card warranty will further extend it in this case.

That review shows some menu settings. Are either "action smoothing" or "action clarity" it?

Its action smoothing, I commented earlier and in the menu you can turn it off, or set it to low, medium, and high

Hardly misinformation and no I don't work for a competitor or am looking to "defame" a product whatever that means. Quite the opposite, I was all set on getting their own Roku 75" Pro tv a month ago until I stumbled on the issue by reading some reviews. It's all over Reddit and other places.

The good news is it sounds like this Phillips OLED has the option to turn it off. I can assure you that even on their own community forums there's a huge thread about it being an issue still

All OLED panels are made by either LG or Samsung. Philips has much longer history and experience in manufacturing TVs than Chinese companies like TCL or Hisense ( though their OLED panels are also supplied by the Koreans ) so it should be fine.

Philips sold their name rights to a different company. It's like all the other old world brands of TVs. It's made by either a Korean of Chinese company hiding behind a name people know.
