Philips' 2026 OLED and Mini-LED TVs will support Dolby Vision 2

Philips has revealed the names of its first 2026 TV models, confirming that it’ll launch OLED951, OLED911 and OLED811 televisions later this year with support for Dolby Vision 2.

The announcement means Philips becomes the third major TV brand to announce it’s getting onboard with the revamped HDR experience, confirming what Dolby said earlier this week. At CES 2026, Dolby Laboratories showcased Dolby Vision 2 on a real TV screen and named Philips as a launch partner alongside TCL and Hisense, and that seems to have prompted Philips’ owner TP Vision to deliver its own announcement teasing the new TVs.

The new TVs are set to replace last year’s Philips OLED810, OLED+910 and OLED+950 models, and they’ll be joined by a new Mini-LED television called the PUS9001 DLED, along with further “premium Mini LED products later in the year.”

Philips will almost certainly be using the MediaTek Pentonic 800 chipset in all of the above TVs, as it’s the only publicly-announced chip that currently supports Dolby Vision 2. TP Vision said it will be paired with Philips’ own P5 AI Processing chip. The company added that Dolby Vision 2 will be made available “across two product tiers,” which we assume means both OLED and Mini-LED.

The Philips PUS9001 DLED series will be the first to launch, followed by the OLED811 series. Whether or not they’ll hit the market before Hisense’s RGB MiniLED range and TCL’s SQD-mini-LED TVs remains to be seen, but there is a chance they could be the first in the world to offer Dolby Vision 2. The Philips OLED951 and OLED911 will likely launch in the latter half of the year.

You can learn more about Dolby Vision 2 in Vincent Teoh’s video below, where he discusses new features such as “Precision Black” that helps to better outline details in dark scenes and “Light Sense 2”, which improves ambient light detection to help the TV better optimise HDR images.

"Philips TV has had a long and very successful track record of collaboration with Dolby and we are very proud to bring the ultimate reference for TV picture quality to our latest televisions by combining Dolby technology with the power of our unique P5 AI processing engine,” said TP Vision’s head of marketing Annette Van Dijk. “We are delighted that Philips TV is the first TV brand to announce the availability of Dolby Vision 2 on OLED TVs and that the combination of our technologies will continue our work by taking PQ performance to new, previously unavailable, levels.”

As for the actual TVs themselves, Philips offered no details at all, so we can’t say what new features they’re going to bring to the table. Typically, TP Vision tends to reveal its new TVs after CES at its own media event, usually in late January or early February.
