A wide and varied selection of games
Philips Android TVs already deliver an always-on and fluid gaming experience without the need for a separate gaming console thanks to the inclusion of powerful multi-core chipsets and they offer an extensive choice of games via the Google Play store™ and the Philips App Gallery.
For maximum flexibility, games can be controlled via both the TV remote and up to four Bluetooth game controllers connected to the TV.
Available for Q1 2016 for all 2014, 2015 and 2016 Philips Android TVs the new partnerships will add some of the most popular games including: Grid racing, Batman Lego, MotoGP and Dirt from Gamefly; Asphalt 8: Airborne and GT Racing 2 from Gameloft and Feed me Oil 2 from Chillingo - plus many more.
In addition, the Philips Smart TV platform will also offer a new subscription games service, Gametree TV Gold from TransGaming, which will offer the ever popular games Rummikub®, Tetris® and WPT® and more!
Ambilight creates a unique gaming experience
Philips TVs also offer a truly unique and totally immersive, extended and enhanced, gaming experience thanks to Ambilight technology – with its dedicated super-dynamic gaming mode – creating a halo of light and changing colours, to precisely match the on-screen action, on the wall behind the set. And in its new and ultimate incarnation AmbiLux, the picture is enlarged and taken beyond the boundaries of the ultra slim-line design set by the nine pico-projectors mounted in the rear of the TV.
