Philips FidelioSkyQuake soundbar speaker

Good value for money, works well, good connection options, and great picture

[Employee of philipsglobal] such a w product, very cool, i am typing from freds dungeon. send help

Good solid monitor, great high adjustable option and screen size for working from home desk.

I needed a monitor that has all of the inputs DisplayPort, DVI, HDMI, VGA and this is one of the few I could find that does have all 4 inputs on the same monitor. I use this on our tech bench where we frequently hook and unhook up devices to it. The brightness and screen quality is really good. However, the problem is this monitor will auto switch inputs when it looses signal. So when I restart a computer, the monitor will auto switch to a different computer. This makes it impossible to see the bootup of the computer I restarted. I already asked support and support said there is no way to turn this off. Support suggested we plug the computer into a different monitor during the reboot and then plug it back into this monitor after it boots. TKT124731

The monitor quality is excellent. Color and sound above average. The issue is how difficult to find customer support. Once I did, my issue was taken care of immediately. Lack of phone support or even easy contact by email was frustrating to find on the website.

The overall experience was great with this bar. HDMI and 4K pass through are cool features and the sound quality is good. Atmos effect is a little soft but considering that its a single bar doing it all for you i would discount it. Bluetooth playback from various music streaming Apps is great. Plays Flac files flawlessly with rich immersive sound. Keep the Bass a little low for crisp music. Overall a good buy for any home who would want to get rid of the clutter and keep the sound system configuration simple.

Attractive soundbar capable of dynamic sound. Glitchy hdmi arc connection which works with my Philip's tv as and when it wants at times. Punch and timing of sound could be tighter. Subwoofer is bigger than it needs to be. Software fixes required to address hdmi arc issue reliability.

I'm the happy owner of a fidelio b5, Philips have done a great job with this sound bar and when I sore the b8 coming out I had to buy one to see if it matched up to the b5, I'm sad to say that the reproduction of sound was no where near as good as the b5, I must stress that when I tried the b8 it was playing through atoms as there is no available content yet, I have now sent back the b8 , I will stick to the b5
