    Great if using a PC, probably not worth it for TV

    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 The box needed to use dynamic lights does not support 4K at 120hz, so it is expensive and outdated.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.

    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.

    When you also consider the cost of the Hue Sync Box (along the with Hue Bridge) to have this work with any HDMI device, this can end up being a pretty pricey ecosystem. If you're already intertwined in the Hue ecosystem though, you can get away with just purchasing this lightstrip and hooking it up with a computer (Windows or Mac) and using the Hue app to get the same experience. The original lightstrip I got from Best Buy was unfortunately broken out of the box (part of the lightstrip wasn't showing the right colors) and I had to go through Hue to get a replacement.

    The hue play hub currently is required if you want to turn an HDMI signal into RGBCT goodness via this Hue Strip. BUT if you already have a PC you can simply download the Hue app, and use your PC’s resources to make this Hue Strip react to both on screen colors or audio with low latency. Regardless of using this for it’s intended purpose, I would have boughten this Hue Strip even without the live color changing features. It is incredibly bright and primarily turned on behind my TV displaying just solid colors.

    Easily installed behind our 4K tv. The hardest part was hiding the power on the recessed power outlet, but once that was worked out, this looked wonderful. Much easier to install and use than regular light strips because it is fitted to the size of the tv formed corners but still flexible to place exactly as needed. I’m combination with the hue sync box, these lights synced to movies or music really add to the entertainment experience. Not cheap, but if you don’t mind the price these are great when used size matched to your screen.

    Great product. It pairs to the hue bridge and Hue HDMI Synch box flawlessly. The effects are obviously eye catching. Everyone who has seen my set up is impressed and I only have this gradient light strip and two hue bulbs in two lamps next to the couch. Movie watching is stunning and playing XBOX games are fun. The Philips Hue eco system is pricy but I have no regrets. I also didn’t buy all the products at once. Either pace yourself and pick up one item each month or save up to make the big purchase. Either way I enjoy the effects these hue products have.

    The price is steep so if your looking for a good discount go open box. The lights are great although be aware theres no coverage of the bottom. So I added a lightbar to my tv stand and the back of my tv.
