Customers are saying

Customers have good things to say about the product's adjustable brightness, overall performance, and ease of use, noting its quick installation. Many appreciate how it enhances immersion and changes the room's ambiance, with the sync box working flawlessly. However, some find the product to be pricey and mention that the adhesive may not last long. Additionally, there are concerns regarding the sync box's HDMI 2.0 limitation and lack of compatibility with next-gen consoles.

    These lights are so much fun. I have a slew of hue bulbs in my living room I have used to sync to the TV. I thought this would be a minor improvement, but wow, these really added to the experience. So much so, if I were in a smaller space, I could see getting away with just this strip, the hub, and the HDMI sync. Installation is easy. I put them on a 77in tv and just had to eye ball what worked best. The tape on the mounts isn’t overly aggressive and allows for a couple attempts at getting the placement right.

    Disappointing Design

    I was so excited when i saw this in store at Best Buy. And for the 5-6 days it stayed attached to the TV, it was great. Love the ambience it adds (although I’m not sure it really works better than the standalone Hue lights I already had behind the TV. But the adhesive is simply not strong enough to hold the strip in place around the back of the TV against the force being exerted by the bent light strip that does not want to be held in a frame position. I was on a Teams meeting earlier today when i heard a loud snap and discovered all four of the corner adhesive “holders” had snapped off (presumably one started it and pulled the others along). To be fair the TV back is not entirely smooth - it’s a 65” Sony Bravia with a criss cross plastic back so you’re losing just a little bit of surface area for adhesion where the pattern is. But there’s no workaround for this. I was also surprised that the strip is just slightly too large for a 65” TV - the ends of the strips were hanging down at the bottom of the TV. I’m going to have to take this back to Best Buy and see if i can get any kind of refund without the original packaging that went into recycling a week or so ago. This wasn’t ready for market - a rare miss for Hue with me.

    This product may seem silly/excessive at first gosnce but it truly changes the entire viewing experience for the better. It never loses its wow factor and doubles as a nice backlight at night. For gaming, its even more immersive. One if the better purchases I have made. Worth every penny.

    Kind of a pain to set up considering you need 2 additional products to use these lights to go with the electronic you’re using. Theyre nice once you get them going but to spend like $500+ total on all 3 things just to have these lights work? Meh. Im only keeping everything cause my girls are obsessed

    After a few years of wanting to do this to my TV, I finally invested in one. These light strips are incredible and completely change the way your home theater or gaming room feels! Highly recommend it for anybody who's been on the fence about this. Pair it with the HDMI Sync box to automatically sync the colors up with what's on the screen, which makes it even better! Plus, it works with your smart home (for me, Apple Homekit) through the use of the Hue Bridge. The three together can be pricey, but definitely worth it for me! The only struggle I had with this was the mounting brackets for the back of the TV. I have an LG TV and the back is rounded slightly. The straight mounts for the top center and sides work fine, but the corner mounts don't stick very well. I'd rather there be 4 more straight mounts and I just round the lightstrip myself. It's definitely designed for a completely flat TV, but I got it to work for me. It's not that big of an issue though, honestly.

    This is a great product! I got the 75 inch for my 75 inch tv and it is amazing! I paired this with sync box, bridge, and hue bulbs in the ceiling can lights and it makes the whole room come alive when watching tv. The lights are controlled by an app and can either be synced, (if you buy the sync box and a bridge), to the colors on the tv or made to stay any color you choose. I really enjoy just watching the lights change with the colors on the tv.

    THE best thing you can add to your TV experience. Most importantly, it makes it so much easier to watch TV/movies in the dark. Secondly, it adds a whole new dimension to movies and games.

    Beautiful, Flexible, Seamless Light Array

    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.

    The whole Hue Lightstrip + Sync Box setup is expensive for what it does, but it really is worth it. The light strip is easy to install and works incredibly well. The good: -Stunning lighting effect that really does sync up with the content displayed on your TV -Easy to install -Unobtrusive The bad: -Requires a very expensive setup just to use -Sync box cant display 4K at over 60 FPS which makes it not ideal for next gen gaming (though the lightstrip works fabulously)

    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.
