the wait is considerably over, when major marques’ 2024 miniLED range is launched over the past few weeks. most of the brands have their highest end makes that would hit pass or close to $5k price tag for a 75inch models. however, out of all these brands, PHILIPS gives the most surprise as their “highest end” is priced to draw attentions that falls between Chinese “Mid-Highs” and Japanese “Mid-Highs”… with SHARP yet to push out their 2024 model that set to be priced around SONY’s 75XR70 range.
here’s the proof of surprise…
…where u could see that the Chinese marques are “priced higher” in consideration to the range where they belong.
in few months time, there would be some price cuts to PHILIPS, but on Chinese marques, the cuts will not be prominent… an observation i see over the last 2yrs.
all 3 models are packed with Quantum Dot layer, and natively 120hz panel.
warranties are 3yrs full/complete.
…they better priced strategically then to able to achieve some sales and market penetration, as Philips, together with TCL and HiSense had score a “sharp” piercing headstart already.
PHILIPS mid-end 8000 series miniLED is now available to acquire from big retailers such as Courts and Harvey. expect other giant retailers to follow soon.
on general specs, these 2 PML8669 sized low tier models sports native 60Hz panels. together with Dolby Atmos Virtualization thru the in-built 2.0ch speaker system. GoogleTV OS with 32GB on board capacity.
most mainstream marques have pushed out their miniLED TVs in different range and different pricing segments for consumers acquisition. now left the “supermarket level” marques to make their entry to feed budget hunters’ demands.
however, we have not seen any move from AiWa, CHiQ as well as KONKA, even though the latter 2 had well established their brand support foundation outside SG market.
the brand AiWa had been bought over by a lesser known ODM known as NPC- Guangzhou Xianyou Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd, and their product development had been very slow, in consideration that the only better known brand that they slapped onto a product for sale in international market limits to only AiWa.
the latest development from NPC is miniLED TV that comes in 2 refresh rates, base on native 60Hz and 120Hz panels, currently seems to come in 55" and 65" option. no signs of bigger sized models.
this is a “AiWa” badged miniLED that is recently launched in China domestic market.
aside from the difference on the panel refresh rate, the rest, including aesthetics would seems to be the same. it would be confusing to buyers if VVDigital, local distributor of AiWa TV choses to bring in both refresh rate models and it’s size variants for distribution and sales.
get ready for the influx of budget friendly miniLEDs that would rock the market!
from XiaoMi! 2 models had been assessed by NEA’s Energy Efficiency department and had scored 4 ticks each, on 55" and 75" assessment sets sent in. once these models are assessed and scored, in 2mths time, the stocks could be ready to be introduced into the market.
hmm… with high-refresh panel spec, i wonder… how will the 75" be priced?

a new size introduced to the 2024 PHILIPS Premium miniLED 9109 range!
a look onto the specs, dimming zones number is not stated as sizes may affect thee numbers, the only difference i can see, is the physical speakers side, 10watts of power against the other smaller “siblings”, that makes me wonder, will this xtra 10watts be the in-built subwoofer?
pity… this new size doesn’t seems to be planned for local market, as local PHILIPS marketing team is generally, very conservative.
the new 85" is currently on sales in Taiwan.
