Price/quality is fine. Fantastic image: Clear, sharp, good color depth, real black black, .... . It did require a bit of tweaking and tuning to get the right settings as we prefer, but that is personal preference. I cannot judge the sound, because of the use of an external soundbar.
A downside is that the TV has a timer that cannot be turned off. After a maximum of 4 hours, the TV turns off, unless you are quick and alert enough to trigger the right button for the next block of 4 hours. I would have liked to have the option to turn this off to decide for myself when the device is turned off. The TV can also be partially controlled via voice via smarthome. When the TV is set to WIFI for streaming, the TV can be turned off via voice control, but not turned on again.
The standard volume is then not adjustable (or I did not find it) according to input channels. When switching between TV and streaming apps, the sound level changes.
The sharpness of the image was the first thing we noticed, since we traded a 47 inch for a 55 inch, where everything is magnified from our viewing position. Despite the fact that our current desktop box does not send out 4k images, only HD, the device still handles that very well.

Picture and sound are excellent and Ambilight is something only Philips has, which I think is beautiful.
