    Haven’t gotten a the sync box yet but even having just the lights on the back of the tv are a game changer. Installation is easy and pairs easily with the rest of your hue lights. Looks awesome!

    I wish this would have been available when i set up the first light strip around my other TV system. It’s a lot easier to set up and it’s ability to provide multiple colors in one light strip is awesome. Only drawback is the cost.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Bright and fast response , not having to have a ugly camera popping out the top or bottom of the tv like other brands was key. Works perfect on my 85” Samsung Frame recommend installing 6” deep from tv border and the best part of all was that I didnt need the outdated picture quality killing hue sync box just downloaded app on tv and Boom works every single time just like everything else from Hue!

    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.

    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.

    It’s a good light strip don’t get me wrong, but for the price I’m not sure it’s worth it. You need an additional $300 Phillips hue sync box to use any of the cool features of the strip. I bought mine open box from bestbuy for $99 which was a good price but the corner pieces that the strip is supposed clip into were both broken so I had to use double sided tape instead.
