Refurbished model did not work. Tried troubleshooting for hours then decided to return and buy a brand new one. Worked just fine after.

Picture cuts in and out. Tried to exchange but was past the return window by one day so Best Buy wouldn't accept it. Don't buy Geek Squad refurbished products, it will just break and you'll be stuck with it.

Can’t even test or use it because the refurbished item didn’t include the power supply. Disappointed. Will wait to order new from Philips direct.

Turns off randomly

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
The entire system works barely. And its very mediocre. But the hue sync box will randomly turn off the tv, which will proceed to turn off everything else. The only "fix" was turn off HEC through the app so the stupid box wouldn't turn off everything. Overall, the system costs hundreds and is very buggy. Be weary.

Didn't get too much out of the Play experience as I was hoping for, for how much it costs. Returning.
