• A:Answer I know one of the features if the 7 color zones. depending on what is showing on the TV, the strip can show 7 different colors at once to match whats is on the screen. This light strip is more for people who have the Philip Hue sync box already.

• A:Answer You can, but it will only appear in app as ONE solid color/light. Philips has stated they are looking into future app and firmware updates that will allow us to control the different color zones of the strip independently.

Q: QuestionCan this be used just out of the box, like without the sync box? And it will just connect and show the colors as on the TV? These are so confusing!

Asked 5 years ago by Anonymous.

• A:Answer It will work as a standard lightstrip when connected to only a hue bridge. But if you want the gradation effect synced with your tv you need the sync hue play box which is another 230.00 dollars. You can also use the hue sync pc app if you are using it around a computer monitor. I mean it’s incredible when you have both... but is a 500 dollar investment.

Q: QuestionWill this work without the HDMI box just using the Sync app on PC and Hue Bridge?

Asked 5 years ago by Paul.

• A:Answer This will work without the sync box. All you have to do is download the Philips Hue Sync app to your computer. If you have a PC connected to your TV, and you are streaming your videos through the PC, the box is totally unnecessary.

Q: QuestionAnyone actually tried to install the 75" strip on 65" TV? My concern is that, 75” strip overhang the two sides of 65" tv, which will cause color not match or line up. I want 75" coz I may upgrade my TV in near future. Thank you in advance.

Asked 5 years ago by oldcotton.

• A:Answer Unfortunately that’s exactly what will happen. People have tried to get the next size up (usually to make up for the fact that it doesn’t cover the bottom side) and the colors end up being ever so slightly but sufficiently noticeably misaligned. I suggest wait until you’ve commit to upgrading your tv, otherwise go ahead and get a 65 for now if you think you can sell it when you do decide to upgrade. Hope this helps!

Q: QuestionWould the 65 work on a 55? I'm potentially upgrading my TV at some point but not sure when yet.

Asked 5 years ago by Scotsman.

• A:Answer I believe it would. I have a 65 in tv and the 65 gradient strip. There is room around the TV for a larger strip. I would think the 55 tv would be ok with the 65 gradient strip.
