Right now I have a Philips with Google TV, but the software simply sucks. Half the times I can't control the volume because... oh lord, I don't know why.
By the way, I'm so silly that, after this horrible experience, I want to replace my TV with another Philips TV just because I really like ambilight.
I was wondering if someone had some experience with the Android TV bundled with the 6000 and/or 7000 series. Consider that I have a SHIELD so I just need that the software doesn't get in the way, doesn't restart randomly, allows me to use 4k@60fps (my current tv will show a green stripe on one of the edges if I try) and allows me to change the volume consistently...
Thank you!
NOOOOOOOO don't do it! Any other TV is vastly better.
As bad as your old Philips TV is, the 6000/7000 are 1000 times worse! I've spent 8 months trying to get them to buy back my 65PUS7120, which is a hulking, 3000€ shitstain on my living room wall. The dancing lights are nice but seriously this is the only redeeming feature of these pieces of utter Chinese-made shit.
Do you want a TV that shows Netflix in only a quarter of the screen? Or that just turns black at random several times a day, requiring you to pull the plug from the wall? Or that has a remote that only 15% of the keypresses actually work? Or that locks up constantly, like two or three times during a single movie, requiring you to pull the plug from the wall? Or that randomly resets all the picture settings to default, with all the virtual motion and extra contrast turned up to maximum? That has quarterly software updates that only update the channel logos in the guide and do fuck-all else? I didn't think so.

If you are happy with the picture quality and Ambilight, I think you should do what I did: give up on the software in the TV and buy an Nvidia Shield. I just leave mine on HDMI1 and control it from the shield's remote with CEC. I get a perfect Android TV experience that never has issues, is muuuuch faster than the Philips POS, and it cost me 199€.
Otherwise, say goodbye to Ambilight because it really isn't worth it.
