The marketing blurb for the Philips 43PUS8500/12 says you can get ‘4K QLED colour brilliance’, ‘cinema-like sound’ and ‘a better viewing experience’ from a television that costs way less than £400. If accurate, that would make this a fantastic budget-friendly purchase. We put it through our labyrinth of tough television tests to find out whether it lives up to the promise.
