According to our television expert
The Philips 55PUS6501 is a UHD television with a 55-inch screen size. Ambilight illuminates the wall behind the TV in the colors of the image on 2 sides. This puts less strain on your eyes when watching TV in the dark and it makes watching TV a more special experience. The 100Hz refresh rate ensures smooth display of fast-moving images, so you won't miss any of the movements on screen. Android TV provides a user-friendly way to access videos, games, and the internet. It also lets you watch missed programs.

It is a nicely designed television. It comes into its own both standing and hanging.
Image quality is simply very good, deep colors and in my opinion better image than the 55PUS7101. The screen is sensitive, ie: The first television we received all had light spots when the screen was dark. According to Philips, this was normal, but Coolblue offered us another television without any problems. The latter did have a few small spots but nothing disturbing and certainly not visible if the screen is not black.
Setting up the TV is very easy, it is very useful to have a Google account so that you can have the Android operating system connect to your account right away. Android TV takes some getting used to, anyway if you've never had an Android TV and especially if you have no experience at all with the Android system (such as a phone or tablet).
If you do have an Android phone, setting up the television is really easy since the most recent update of Android (January 2017), because the television connects to the phone during the installation process.
After installing the television itself, you still have to fill in the user settings for all apps that you want to use, such as logging in with Netflix, etc. This only needs to be done once, after which the TV remains logged in.
It is recommended to buy a USB memory stick, then you can record programs or pause television. I've just recorded 4.5 hours of HD television on a 64GB memory stick and there's about 60% space left to record for illustration purposes.
Via the Google Play Store (Apps) you can install programs such as VLC (Video) or Plex (Stream from your own server, not 4k) and Kodi (XBMC) is also available for download. Kodi works extremely well and fast on the television, I stream 4k movies from my server via WiFi without interruptions.
Digital television also works fine with the CI+ module. I myself am a member of Ziggo (ex-UPC) and with the module that can be ordered it works like clockwork. Setup is fairly easy, just follow the directions in the booklet.
I only connected a speaker to the television, as the sound from the built-in speakers is breathtakingly bad. Now the disadvantage of this is that you cannot adjust the volume of the headphone connection (where the speaker is plugged in), except in a nested menu instead of just with the volume knob. I find this very inconvenient. You can also buy a sound system with an HDMI connection and then volume control is possible with the AB.
