Philips offers up to four different OLED models, and after the second highest (907), the cheaper model numbered 807 has made its way to us. However, to avoid repeating the same test over and over again, this time we’ll also focus on DTS Play-Fi technology, using the TAW6205 wireless speaker. Thanks to its WiFi connection, it has several advantages over conventional speakers. This will be discussed as well.
Operational power draw
We measure the power draw using a UNI-T UT71E multimeter, similar to the monitor methodology. For TVs, we will focus primarily on power draw for HDR content, for which we have selected a trio of videos: Costa Rica, 2020 LG OLED and Dolby Vision Demo. The videos offer a variety of content that will test the power requirements for both saturated colors and black images.
Thanks to the measurements from the previous TCL C935 test, we can compare the measured values and see the abysmal difference between the power draw of the tested OLED with the compared miniLED TV. OLED has significantly lower power draw and peak values, but this is understandable given the lower brightness. On the other hand, OLED has perfect blacks and although it doesn’t have as high brightness, the image depth and contrast is better than on the compared miniLED. We will continue this test next time and it will be interesting to see how the different panel types will affect power draw.
