Philips 65OLED801 OLED TV discounted by 8 thousand. Get a free monitor with it

Black Friday is traditionally a good time to buy a new TV, and this promotion adds a gift to the discount that won’t go to waste at home. The 65-inch Philips 65OLED801 OLED TV from this year’s lineup now costs 31,990 CZK, and you get a 27-inch Philips gaming monitor with 144 Hz with it. With one purchase, you can furnish not only your living room but also your study or children’s room.

Quick summary:
✅ Makes sense if you want a large OLED TV for movies and consoles and could use a second screen for your computer.
⚠️ Consider that the TV does not run on Google TV, but on the Titan OS system with a smaller selection of applications.
💡 For 31,990 CZK you get a 65″ OLED with Ambilight, four HDMI 2.1 ports, plus a monitor worth 2,490 CZK.

You also receive a gaming monitor with the TV

Alza includes a free 27″ Philips 27M2N3200NF/00 monitor with the TV, which itself costs 2,490 CZK. It is primarily aimed at video game players – it has an IPS panel with Full HD resolution, a 144 Hz refresh rate, and a 0.5 ms response time in MBR mode. The manufacturer also states compatibility with NVIDIA G-SYNC and HDR10 support. You can connect it to a computer via DisplayPort 1.4 or HDMI 1.4 and mount it on a wall or arm thanks to VESA 100 × 100 mm mounting.

Practically, this means the TV goes to the living room and the monitor, for example, to a gaming computer in a child’s room, or to a laptop for home office use. Additionally, Alza offers free TV wall mounting as part of the promotion, and you don’t pay for shipping either.

OLED panel, 120 Hz, and four HDMI 2.1 ports

The TV features a 65-inch OLED panel with 4K resolution and native 120 Hz. Self-illuminating pixels can achieve perfect black, which you’ll especially appreciate in movies with dark scenes. The image is processed by the P5 AI Perfect Picture Engine, and it supports Dolby Vision, HDR10+ Adaptive, and HLG. Alza states a maximum panel brightness of 1,000 nits.

Gamers will appreciate the four HDMI 2.1 ports, so you can have PlayStation 5, Xbox, and a gaming PC connected simultaneously without any losing 120 Hz. It supports VRR, ALLM, AMD FreeSync Premium, and NVIDIA G-SYNC, with gaming settings found in the Gamebar 2.0. HDMI 2 port supports eARC for a soundbar.

Also included is three-sided Ambilight, which are LED strips on the back that project colors from the screen onto the wall. This is Philips’ proprietary technology, which optically enlarges the image in a dark room.

Titan OS runs here instead of Google TV

Here, attention is needed, especially if you have an Android phone. This year, Philips abandoned Google TV for its new televisions and implemented its own Titan OS system. It does not have the Google Play Store, so you can only install applications from its own offering. According to the German website HIFI.DE, Android phone owners must also use a separate application to cast content to the TV. With an iPhone, it’s simpler, as the TV supports Apple AirPlay.

However, the basics are covered. According to Alza, Titan OS includes YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, and Amazon Prime Video, and from Czech services, Oneplay, Prima+, Skylink Live TV, or LepšíTV.

The second reservation concerns sound. Two speakers with a total output of 20 W with Dolby Atmos are sufficient for casual viewing, but an image of such quality deserves more. Those who want fuller sound can opt for a cheap Philips soundbar, which we wrote about in October. Also, note the energy class F.

Who will benefit from the promotion

For 31,990 CZK, this is a reasonable choice for those who want a large OLED TV for movies and series and also play on a console. The promotion will be most beneficial for households that also need a monitor – for example, for a child building their first gaming PC, or for a laptop for working from home.

If, on the other hand, you are used to Google TV, frequently cast content from an Android phone to your TV, or use less common applications, first verify that Titan OS offers them. And for those who won’t use the monitor, they are essentially just paying for the one-fifth discount itself. The TV with a free monitor costs 31,990 CZK at the time of writing.

Would you trade Google TV for an OLED with Ambilight and an extra monitor?
