Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your Philips 8001, attach the included stand or use a compatible VESA wall mount. During the initial setup, connect the TV to your Wi-Fi network to update the Titan OS firmware. Ensure that high-speed HDMI cables are used for gaming consoles to take full advantage of the HDMI 2.1 features. For care, wipe the screen gently with a dry, anti-static microfiber cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners or household detergents, as they can damage the anti-reflective coating on the display panel. Ensure there is at least 10cm of space behind the TV to allow the Ambilight LEDs to project effectively.
