11. How much money can you spend on buying a TV? up to 2 thousand
12. It can't be on Android!
13. Must support the card for you from the cable

I browse TV up to 2 thousand and I wonder if this Philips is a good choice or maybe Samsung UE43NU7092 will be better for my needs.

The smart Saphi system in this Philips 67 is a big risk. Written by Philips, and Philips has been strongly promoting AndroidTV for 3 years.
Support for Saphi will be marginal and always second in line.

Samsung UE43NU7092 is a good lead. This series is quite successful and hard to find a good competitor in this price range.


Regarding point 13 - the fact that TV supports CI cards does not mean that it will work well with a particular card - you have to check it yourself before buying.

but not looking at the system but the picture itself, which one will be better?
How can I check before buying if it will work with my tv supplier? should I take the card to the store and check it out somehow?

In my opinion the picture is better on NU70

Some tv service providers provide a list of TVs with which their card works properly and without any comments.

I would also prefer Samsung on one side but Philips tempts me with ambilight

For the time being, Ambilight is available only at Philips, so when it is key, you have no choice

The key is not but tempts I just don't know if this Philips is a decent model
They wrote back from the cable network that he would work.

Still the basic question is whether tv 4k for cable will be worse than full hd?
Because so far it will be mainly cable TV and terrestrial, how do these 4k scale the image? the same applies to ordinary ps4 if there will be a not sharp image like ps4 only 1080p

For 3 years, 4K TVs have scaled the FHD image to 4k without any problems.
The problem is with lower resolutions - here the algorithm of miracles will not do and it starts to look boring.

I bought a Philips 43pus6703 and it doesn't go crazy, I'm not happy yet, the temptations have tempted me

Such a classic came out. You were tempted by the goodies and forgot that the main function of the TV is to display the image

I have fallen into good opinions again on stores and comparison websites, marketing works well I wonder whether to give it back.

You always have 30 days to return

I bought stationary, but already dedicated, Media Markt, fortunately, does not make refund problems. Only positively in this tv - liquids surprised me, they work well. Their new system is a terrible drama, slow and in addition to enter the image settings you have to click a little bit, and I thought that my tizen is slow but he is using a torpedo with saphi. Image settings also leave a little to be desired, the only thing that is cool is ambilight.

It may still be Philips, just a different model. Maybe 7303?

For now, I cured my TV in the bedroom, as if I was just taking some Samsung, but Tizen is very cool.
