    Awesome product. Must have product for any household already using the Hue system. I originally purchased multiple Hue Play bar lights for behind my TV/stand. When paired with the Hue Play Sync box the lights provided the desired effect, the Gradient Lightstrip is a game changer. I moved the other lights around the room to create an immersive experience and it is awesome! This product was out of stock for quite some time. I set an alert on Best Buy and jumped at the opportunity to purchase when it was back in stock. My only comment is with regard to the plug adaptor that connects the lightstrip to the power. Be sure to connect the correct plugs because there are a few wires that look similar but have specific plugs that need to be connected.

    Too Small for LG OLEDs

    Decent product. It’s not as great as Philips would have you believe. Perhaps if you lived in an Ikea ad with pure white furniture against pure white satin sheen walls with nothing hanging on the walls or sitting anywhere near your tv, the dynamic impact would be better, but if you don’t live in an all-white sterile environment, the effect is not very noticeable at all. There are two big problems with this product: 1. It does not illuminate below the bottom of the screen at all. This leaves out roughly ⅓ of the screen’s perimeter and makes the 3-sides only effect uneven and wonky. 2. The sizes listed on the light strip aren’t sized properly for most modern screens. We have a 65” LG CX OLED which should have been an easier fit than most TVs of the same screen size as these LGs, as with most other OLEDs, have nearly zero bezel or frame surrounding the screen. Philips’ installation instructions state that the light strip should run the full perimeter of the left, right, and top sides, and that it should be positioned between 5 & 10 cm from the outside edge of the TV (so, roughly 2-4” from the outside edge at most). Instead, the 65” light strip only covers a portion of the 65” OLED’s screen. We had to pull off and reattach the adhesive holders several times to stretch things as much as we could, but in the end, we only managed to get each side to extend down to about 8 inches from the bottom and to get this much of the sides covered, had to move the light strip inward to around 10 inches from the outer edge and even then had to go with a very large radius curve away from the corners to have enough slack to at least make it functional. This means the light strip sits around 4-5 times further from the outer edge of the TV than it is designed to do. This drastically reduces the outward spread of the illumination and in turn causes the colors to blend together. For the VERY expensive price tag, Phillips needs to address both the bottom and sizing issues. In the meantime, if you have a 65 inch OLED, buy the 75 inch light strip.

    Just got it in and with a little measuring and spacing was pretty easy. Im so far happy with it and fits on my Sony A9G Oled TV great. I just wish it had a about 6 more inches.

    The Philips Hue Strip Light is a game-changer for ambiance. It's easy to install, thanks to the adhesive backing, and the range of colors and brightness levels is impressive. The app control is seamless, allowing you to set the perfect mood or adjust lighting remotely. While a bit pricey, the quality and versatility make it a worthwhile investment for transforming any space into a vibrant and dynamic environment.

    I had only 2 Hue color light bulbs in my living room that I used to set the mood with a "Hue Scene". I knew that I could do better with the ambience of the living room so I decided to buy the Hue Gradient Strip for my TV and now it's just WOW!! With the Hue Gradient Strip the color ambient lightning in my living room has all the colors I needed for the whole room to expolde with color. Guests are amazed. Remember, you can never have too many colored lights. People make the mistake of only going with a couple of lights, when in fact you need a whole set of them to really bring out the best in any room.

    Wonderful, if you can invest in the HDMI Sync Box

    It’s a fantastic set of lights that pair well with movies, tv shows, and games. Unfortunately it’s useless otherwise without that feature, but youll need to invest in the HDMI Sync Box to get the best use out of it, but if you can afford it, its worth doing. Setup can take roughly five minutes or so depending on how accessible the back of your TV is at any given time.

    Awesome for large PC monitors, though I’m not sure it’s worth it for a television unless you’re hooked up to a PC. The box needed to use dynamic lights does not support 4K at 120hz, so it is expensive and outdated. Without the box, this is just another hue light strip, so keep that in mind. I use it in my LG C48 OLED which I use as a PC monitor and this thing is great. Very reactive to what’s onscreen using just the Hue sync app.

    This is actually our second gradient lightstrip. We purchased the 65" for another TV first and then bought this one for our newer 75". The only "trouble" is getting it properly spaced/mounted to the back of the TV, particularly if you're as OCD as me. But once that is complete, the light is nothing but a joy and adds to every TV-watching experience, whether movie, TV, or video game. Our house was already Hue-integrated, so the addition of the lightstrip is seamless. Yes, it may be pricey compared to many, but that's like saying a Mac is pricier than a Dell -- the user experience and quality in design is worth it.
