Usually, all smart TVs come with higher-resolution displays. A higher resolution produces the content sharper and clearer with utmost quality, whereas a lower resolution displays the content with lower quality. The older Philips smart TVs had 640*480p (1 million pixels) which was gradually developed and converted into 7680*4320p (8 million pixels). If you use a lower-quality source resolution, you can change it to a better one with the help of Settings on your Philips smart TV.
