A longtime staple in the UK TV market, the Philips Ambilight TV is finally coming to the US thanks to a new partnership with Roku.

The new TVs run on Roku OS and are equipped with Philips Ambilight technology, which is a special lighting attached to the back of the TV that elevates the entertainment by syncing its back LEDs' colors with the on-screen content.

Featuring a stunning array of lights that immerse you in the on-screen content, Philips' Ambilight TVs are among the sleekest sets on the international market — and now you can finally buy one in the US.

Here's a breakdown of sizes and prices for the Philips Roku Ambilight TVs:

  • 43" - $229
  • 50" - $259
  • 55" - $329
  • 65 - $389

Mirroring some of the best Roku TVs, the new Ambilight range will also come equipped with incredible Roku features. These include access to Backdrops, which is similar to Samsung's Art Store, offering a versatile tapestry of artworks and photos to use as screensavers.

You'll also be able to seamlessly connect with other Roku devices, including soundbars, subwoofers, and wireless speakers. Unfortunately, the Philips Roku Ambilight TVs only have HDR10 support, which means no HDR10+ or Dolby Vision.

It's also a shame you won't be able to buy the TV in sizes higher than 65 inches. That's a major letdown for buyers with a hankering for big-screen value, but at least US customers will finally get the chance to buy into the Ambilight ecosystem.
