    Looks great behind the tv but all I can use it for is a light right now because I will not be buying the tv sync box until it supports HDMI 2.1 or eARC for light sync because I do 4k 120hz on my xbox where I watch movies from so it only supporting 2.0 is a deal breaker and it is ungodly expensive for just a addressable RGB strip and all of hue power strips should have this gradient and be addressable

    If you want to buy the Hue Play Sync Box, this is the lighting source you want. The seven zones really allow the syncing to match the scenes. It would be helpful if it could use all seven without the syncing, but that is not an option at this time. Be aware that some TVs make this awkward to attach to the back. Look at the layout of how it is to be installed and make sure your TV will allow for it.

    This product is amazing and such a next generation addition to any home theater set up… except for one fatal flaw. What’s not made clear when first purchasing is that you need the Phillips sync box and the Phillips hue bridge as well. What starts with a $200+ purchase, turns into a $500+ investment that nobody signed up for! This product works and sync amazing but since it’s so misleading I dropped a star!

    I love this item. It has really enhance my living room and entertainment set up. It is quite pricey, but I think it is worth every dime. My biggest issue is the set up, but it is still a very excellent condition to my entertainment center. It does nicely sync with what you are watching on TV which, again enhances your living room

    Love the way the light comes off of this around my TV. I had regular strips up before and it was all one color. However, I bought the 55" for my 60" TV because it said it was good up to 65" and I have found it to be too small. I could move the strip in more, but I am afraid the adhesive won't work if I take it off and move it. Also, I have trouble getting the strip to stay in the clips. But once I get it in there, it's good.

    Please make sure when you get what you ordered. I ordered a 65in online and when i got to the store for a pickup i was told that they sent me a 55. This was after i removed my tv from the wall and mount. So i went with the 55 because i already removed the TV. Im 50 percent happy with the light. I light was much smaller so i had to move the strip inward.

    The lights are BRIGHT! Currently using it with the Sync Box and the colors are lovely! It’s definitely priced as a luxury but you really do get what you pay for and more! I compared it to a friend’s Govee set up and Hue is just superior.

    I've been waiting for the gradient strip for a long time, when I was finally able to get one I know why the wait was so long. This product is amazing and so worth the wait. I see why it wasn't in stock for the longest time. Very sought after and it adds that much more ambiance to your tv viewing. Whether its movies or gaming, this light strip makes the experience really pop.

    Bought the gradient lightstrip along with the hue sync box. If you don’t have the hue sync box, the standard hue lightstrips will probably work fine for you. That said, Philips just released an update for the gradient lightstrip that allows you to manually control the different light zones. Personally I would have been fine with the standard hue lightstrip.

    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.

    It works really well the app and connection can be quite buggy at time s but other than that it’s great, would be nice if there was more information to recommend to get the sync box as well and wish it wasn’t another 250 but it does work really well

    Great quality strip. Really captures a lot of of the TV colors. I only wish that it was longer so that way you could get the bottom of the screen.
