Philips - Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip 55" - Multi

I was a little hesitant because of the price, but after installing it, I can honestly say it transformed my TV setup. The colors are incredibly vibrant, and the way the lights match what’s happening on the screen makes movies and sports much more immersive. Installation took a little patience, but once everything was set up, it worked flawlessly. Keep in mind you’ll need the Hue Bridge and Sync Box to get the full experience, but if you’re already in the Hue ecosystem, it’s absolutely worth it. The quality is top-notch, and it gives my room a clean, premium look. I have no regrets purchasing it and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade their entertainment setup.

Quite honestly the best purchase I’ve made for my home entertainment! It is a pricey investment, especially when you factor in that you will also have to purchase the Bridge and Sync Box and/or the app. Please be aware that you will need these to make the entire thing work which becomes a $500+ investment. If you have it, it is worth every penny! The lights are powerful without being overwhelming, and seamlessly transition to whatever you’re watching. Complex colors are matched and makes your entire wall blend with the screen while making the image on the screen just pop. Setup is quick and easy (and I’m a clumsy oaf) and troubleshooting rare issues is intuitive. PLEASE BE WARNED: a 2022 TV IS required. Otherwise you will be limited to the Hue lights only syncing to your entertainment accessories (Blu-ray player, video game system, AppleTV, etc.). Also everything is controlled via local Wi-Fi + Bluetooth. If you do not have Wi-Fi + Bluetooth this product is not for you.

Super easy to install just stick mount sync and enjoy. I’ve had the smart lights for years, but this definitely takes it to the next level of immersive entertainment.

Bought this to go behind my 65” OLED TV, and man - it works great! I bought it used - excellent condition, and the only complaint is that some of the adhesive was already used, but it was easy to just buy some cheap 3M adhesive foam to replace the factory Philips stuff. One recommendation to have this working perfectly: I highly recommend installing your Hue Bridge as close as possible to your “Hue Play Entertainment Area” it makes a colossal difference.

[Employee of bestbuy] I previously used a standard Philips Hue light strip behind my TV and was initially hesitant to upgrade to the Gradient Lightstrip due to the higher price. But after installing it, I was instantly impressed — the difference is night and day. Watching TV and movies now feels far more immersive, with the dynamic color transitions adding a whole new level of atmosphere. Even when the TV is off, setting a lighting scene transforms the room with smooth, flowing colors. If you're on the fence, I highly recommend making the switch — it’s absolutely worth it!
