Finally ambient lighting that works! I have owned the original Ambivision which stopped working, then got the Lightberry kit which took a ton of work to get it working (for advanced users for sure). I ended up having to replace the LED strips and a second video capture unit, but even then the LED’s started to flicker. This Hue Gradient strip just works and looks great! It’s not as detailed with only 7 capture zones, but in some ways it’s better and not as distracting. The Hue strip blends the onscreen colors very well. It say’s it only has 7 colors but it sure seems it has more than that. It is unfortunate that it doesn’t cover the bottom of the TV, but I added 2 light bars to the bottom, which now covers the light spread all the way around the screen. The gradient strip uses the sync app which works in tandem with the Hue app. There are 4 different intensities and also brightness control. I keep intensity level on extreme and brightness at about 75% which switches onscreen detail quickly, and produces plenty of light to cover the walls, ceiling and floor around the TV. Another great thing about the Hue products and Best Buy is you can get the protection plan in case something goes wrong which the other cheap systems don’t offer.

7 distinct lighting zones and mounts to an OLED TV without too much effort. Would be nice if it could work better independent of Sync box - it can do basic colors with Hue app, but no special effects. Expensive for an Ambilight solution but very cool effects when it's working

Note: this requires the (pricey) Sync Box, but it's worth it! I got this and the Sync box on sale as a bundle, and wow! This absolutely changes home theater! The first thing we watched was Encanto and it blows me away just how nicely the colors jump from the edge of the screen to the entirety of the back wall! I have any sync box connected to the 2nd HDMI out of my AV receiver, and my TV connected to the 1st HDMI out as eARC. Anything my TV displays, regardless of input, will light up the lights. However, every time I change inputs, I have to fiddle with the box to re-sync it. The only reason I'm doing this is because I'm paranoid the Sync box might add a few milliseconds of delay, and since I want games to go as latency free as possible, I went through the extra hassle to set this up.

Awesome experience to add to our TV, gaming and other video experiences. Music is nice but not coordinated in the same manner as video. we use this with the Phillips Hue Play Sync which is the way to go, Setting that up is tricky and took some experimentation, but we have it working with 4 devices routed through it to the TV. That would be another review though! the color rendition is exceptional and goes from brilliant to nuanced and moody. Wonderful, easy to install.

Purchase these lights and the sync box. I have a similar setup with another company and this one looks a lot smoother. It also supports 4k and has multiple hdmi port's to add other stuff. If you have any other hue lights this is a great addition you have the ability to sync everything together. The reason why im giving it 4 star's is because with the price you paid for these lights they could have covered the entire tv and not just the sides and top. Its also not that easy to install if your TV is already mounted on the wall. I really wish they would cover the bottom of the tv

it open up a whole new level of immersion. Even if your are not using a sync box you can set it to soft or natural white light in the background when watching movies. it reduce eye stain and make movie watching more fun. build quality is solid. I been using it for almost 7 months without any issues. the app is very responsive and you almost have unlimited choices of colors. even if your are not watching TV, you can turn the light on with your computer app and sync it to the music. the light change and response to every beat of the music and creates a very enjoyable atmosphere. when ever I have friends over they all love the lights.

Keep it simple. Is this product expensive? Absolutely. Does this product work? Absolutely. Is it worth YOUR money? Only you can answer that. But as far as rating this product based off what it’s supposed to do, it’s 5 star minimal. I’d give it 10 stars if there was an option.

Let's start with the obvious: This thing is expensive. Is it worth the price though? That's really up to you. If you are going to sync this with your computer or your TV (using the Sync box, which is sold separately), then I would say it absolutely is. I've watched a few movies with the lights synced and it definitely makes them feel more dynamic. Some people will say it's distracting, but if you won't pick the most extreme settings then it's generally nice and subtle.

It’s very nicely package when you receive it very easy to set up. Although the strips for the size of the tv isn’t much. I put the 75inch light strip on my 75 inch tv and it only managed to cover half my tv, mostly the top and a bit on the sides. I did expect it to go all the way around but it doesn’t cover the bottom. I also think for the price I wish I would have waited only because they are coming out with many more affordable fairly priced light strips that do the same and sync to the tv color imagines. Other then that for the most part they work very nicely with an exception of adding more lights towards the bottom.

I am using these as lumination under my couch and loveseat and the ambiance it brings to the atmosphere is amazing. The only thing that I would wish for is that I wished the design of the lights would bend better for a better fit under the couch. Outside of that they provide incredible movie magic to my living room increasing the experience to elevated levels that I was not expecting. The different levels of lighting and the seemingly endless color combinations is outstanding. I Love It!

Looks cool - adds immersion. Awesome in games as well as movies. Fairly straightforward to setup. I wish power cable was longer

As with all Hue products, a super easy install that gets you set up in no time. The vibrant colors add immersion to anything on your TV. It is so great, this is my second TV gradient strip I’ve purchased!Couldn’t recommend Philips Hue products anymore.

The finishing touch to a great movie experience. Paired with the Hue Hub, Hue Sync Box & 3 Hue Play Bars it’s definitely on the expensive $$ side but after paying a few thousand for my LG C1 77Oled .. why not. My only complaint is that it doesn’t cover the bottom of the TV, so you have to buy the Hue play bars to to fill in the bottom. At least 3 Hue Play Bars for a 77” but 4 can fit. Other than that my movies and games are more immersive.

This light strip is a uniform array of lights put onto a flexible rubber casing that allows for ease of installation and seamless light. The instructions you follow on the Hue App help with installation and give handy tips. The connection between the light strip and its local receiver/power connection could be better, but with all the 3M sticking/tacking required this shouldn't be an issue if it is all installed properly.

Works as expected; easy to set up and use. I was a bit worried using these on a curved TV, but it might actually work a bit better by projecting the side light out further. We enjoy the added inversion - now it's weird when our TV isn't backlit. Only issue so far is that the stickers on the mounting brackets don't like our TV's ribbed back surface; but that's hardly the fault of the product. Some 3M double-sided mounting tape is a simple remedy.

These lights are so awesome I actually upgraded my philips hue light bars to this one and asked family and friends if they could tell a difference with the bars vs the lights strip, They chose the light strip every time with out knowing which was wich. With that being said i really love them and if you have the extra cash why not buy these upgraded ones but if your on a budget then the light bars are definitely your best bet.

Let me start out by saying that having all these Hue lighting syncing to my tv sound like a cool idea but thats all it is, a cool idea. This light strip works and syncs very well. You must have the sync box in order to get the colorful effect. This strip can be used without the sync box but you can not the rainbow color effect, it will only be whatever one color at one time. The downside is that there was a price increase after it was sold out for weeks if not months.

Works very well with my Hue Sync Box and a couple Hue Play lights setup with the Hue Sync Box as well. I do wish the Hue Gradient was a bit more bright though. Also didn’t think about it when purchasing it, but the way it is designed, it doesn’t provide any backlighting on the bottom of the TV, which would be fine if it were on a stand, however, I have my TV wall mounted. I’ll probably just pickup another Hue Play light to shine under my TV to get the absolute full effect.

My wife wanted this and I was on the fence about it. I was wrong. This makes the new TV so much cooler, it adds to the immersion sensation when watching shows and movies. Plus it gets you in to the Philips Hue ecosystem which is pretty neat. Takes some setup to get it configured, but after it is set it works flawlessly, so cool. If you want to up your home theater game, get it.

I previously had multiple Hue Play Bars mounted behind my tv with the Hue sync box, and while it worked well, replacing those with the Gradient Lightstrip was definitely an improvement. Installation was quick and easy (I didn't even have to unmount my television from the wall). I'm very happy with this
