Customer Ratings & Reviews

Awesome colors. Kinda difficult to setup with the Sync box but I blame the box, not the lights. After a couple of weeks the adhesive came off my TV and I haven’t figured out what I’m gonna do to fix it yet, sad.

I love this light nice to be able to do multiple colors and If you have a hue ecosystem or a sync box it’s even better a bit pricy but definitely worth it

Love it. It’s bright and colorful. Works well for my room and entertainment area. Wouldnt buy again because the price with cheaper just as good alternatives but not gonna knock the rating for that. Buy it and you wont regret it.

I already had a standard light strip behind my TV, but I barely used it for Hue Sync because a single color means that the Sync Box has to decide on one dominant color per frame. That means that if you have a relatively static scene where say an object or person walks across, the light strip will flicker as each frame has a slightly different color composition. Doesn't matter if you have surrounding Hue lights, the effect is very distracting. Not so with the gradient strip, as each zone stays relatively stable due to not having to adjust for motion outside its corresponding area. Night and day difference. My only con with this strip is that it doesn't cover the bottom of the screen (the strip is effectively an inverted "U" for the top and sides only). But that's a very small con and barely affects the overall quality.

Love it. You don’t need a Sync Box if you have certain newer model TVs like Samsung bc there is a sync app that you can purchase directly on the TV. Works perfectly with gaming consoles and streaming apps on the TV as well.

Works great with our lg c5 77in. Very easy to install on tv and with app. The colors are absolutely stunning compared to our previous hue light strips. Would hoghly recommend. Bought on sale so it was an even better buy.

I replaced 5 Hue Play light bars with this light strip. Its pricey, but couldn't be happier with the quality, what a diff it makes when watching a movie. It can be a bit tricky to wrap it around the covers, I used few command strips to hold the strip especially around the corners.

I bought a whole set up for my boyfriend for his birthday and he absolutely loves having the lights set up. The colors are great and really add to our movie nights and game play! I love them so much that I plan to get more of the strips to add to different parts of our house.

Big upgrade! Had the old light strip behind the TV and this is a big improvement with the different portions of the light changing color as opposed to the whole strip. I need the Sync box in order for this to work with all my devices, but it works great with the computer that's connected.

I was using the Play Bars for a 65 inch Sony. I had a total of 10 covering the back of the tv. With the Gradient strip, i was able to repurpose 7 of the lights to expand the light field. The strip was easy to attach to the tv and the app automatically takes care of it's positioning on the tv. This is definitely a novelty item and shouldn't be used on every movie or tv show, but it does enhance the experience when playing video games and watching action movies. You will need the Phillips Hue hub and the Sync Hub to use these light. Those 3 items alone are well over $500. There are cheaper options on the market, but none of them are as seamless and easy to use as items within the Phillips ecosystem. If you're tech savvy, i would advise you to explore the other options. If you aren't tech savvy or are already invested in the Hue ecosystem, buy this for the ease of integration and use.

This actually changes how immersive watching TV is. An amazing product yet again from philips hue. The only downside is the price but when you think about the simplicity and ease of installation combined with a simple app to control everything makes this purchase a no brainer!

They work great. Since I purchased the HDMI Sync box last year, this was the perfect addition. I had used a classic light strip wrapped in a circle around the wall mount, but that only worked for one color. Watching this strip dazzle is such a treat. Expensive to be sure, but worth it.

The lights are a natural, next step in adding to your viewing experience. They can be subtle or enveloping depending on how you integrate them. Makes your screen size seem larger and immerses you in what you’re watching. You need to have the Hue Sync box to really show them off.

This was one of my favorite purchases. If you buy the sync box it completely matches up to the colors on the screen which is great for movies and even sports. The only problem I have is that with the sync box, everything is linked up to a single hdmi even if you’re using cable and a game console, and the only way to change the inputs back and forth from console to cable is the hue sync app on your phone. Since they’re both connected to a single hdmi, you can’t change the input on your normal tv remote, so no one else can really use the TV without you being there. I think the product is great enough to disregard this issue, but moving forward hue should try to do something about not being able to use the TV remote it came with to switch inputs. Also, you can’t use the hue lights for smart tv apps. Only consoles and cable.

Excellent light strip. Best when paired with Philips Sync box for 250 million varied colors interacting with screen output. Totally pleased but be warned expensive combo and DOES NOT SYNC with smart TV (streamers) output. Does however sync perfectly if utilizing AppleTV.

Not for everybody but if you've seen videos of ambient TV backlights and like the effect, the gradient lightstrip is an excellent, though higher end system. You also need a Hue Syncbox and Hue hub to pull it all together, so altogether it's a bit pricy.

Awsome lights , pretty easy to install. My son loves them. You do have to buy the hub separately, make sure to read the box.

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

Works exactly as it should, and is brighter than I expected. I am not a huge Star Wars fan, but once you set this up that should be the first movie you watch for a test scene. Put the light settings to “Extreme” and enjoy! Once you’ve put the lights through their paces, you’ll want to put the intensity back to subtle or moderately to prevent the lights from being distracting. Until your friends come over for a demo, of course… I have some annoying issues that stem from the Sync Box itself, but that is another review for another time. If you are looking for entertainment lighting, there is no second option to the Hue ecosystem.

Bought this alongside the new sync box 8k and it works flawlessly. The only downside is that the strip doesn't cover the bottom part of the tv if you have it hung. I bought some hue play bars to fix that problem.
