Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the brightness and ease of use of the Geek Squad Certified Refurbished Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip 55", finding it enhances movie watching and gaming experiences, especially when combined with the HDMI sync box. However, some customers found issues with the mounting process and reported quality control problems with the lights themselves and the included adhesive. The lightstrip's condition upon arrival was a mixed bag, with some receiving it in like-new condition.

    The best TV backlight you can get. With streaming apps you can have active lighting to extend your screen colors onto the wall. Easy to attach, great lighting option.

    Lights are great and work properly, mounting however was not checked by them and all mounting stuff did not work... had to go and buy new mounting stuff and in the end didnt really save any money compared to purchasing new. Sucked because it meant we also couldnt set them up on Christmas day. The product overall is good, but honestly just spend a bit extra and buy them new or be prepared to run into problems.

    Poor quality control from Geek Squad

    I went to the store to order the 75" light strip and the sales rep ordered me a refurbished one by mistake. When I received it, I thought I would give the so called "Geek Squad Certified Refurbished" a shot to be a quality product and work like as new. Upon opening box, there were multiple issues with this certified refurb. The corner holding brackets were broken in half, the tape was used on the back of the brackets so not sticky, and only a quarter of the lights worked which constantly flickered. If this is the quality that is certified geek squad refurbished, I will never buy a refurb product from geek squad. Spend the extra $30 and purchase the new product which is great.

    Excellent condition for Geek Squad Refurb. Love the ambiance and atmosphere these lights create. I would definitely recommend for movies that have a large color spectrum, like Home, Croods, and Zack Snyder's Justice League.
