    I was hesitant to buy into the Philips Hue ecosystem because they’re so expensive. But thanks to a discount code and rewards points it softened that blow and I couldn’t be happier with these lights. I’ve used cheap light strips in the past which are ok, but add these with some other Hue lights and it completely transforms your room.

    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.

    great product, I have one on all 3 of my televisions, love the prism and fireplace fx and when paired with the Sync Box it’s awesome and immersive. But God forbid it stays attached to the back of the television, pops off constantly, i’m about to try gorilla super glue wish me luck. And holy cow are the power cord connection fragile, look at it wrong and it breaks. Love Best Buy for letting me swap out for a new one at no extra cost a year and a half later because of this second problem. I would still buy this product again, and obviously have already twice since the first despite those 2 glaring issues of which Philips Hue dept. have ignored.

    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.

    I cant stop using them even if the TV is off i still use it i love how bright it is and the color it puts off. It is a bit over priced but most of the Hues stuff is over priced but its kinda worth it

    Great light strip. The color is bright and really goes with whatever you’re watching on tv. I put this on an 86 inch tv and it works and looks great. No need to add additional lighting.

    One of the best investments I’ve made into my movie/tv watching experience. I absolutely love how well it enhances the experience and when I’m at a friends watching something that doesn’t have it you can instantly tell and you really miss it. Worth it completely even though you need the bridge and the sync box. So it’s definitely an investment but I feel I’ve gotten my moneys worth back and more with it.

    Honestly this thing is the light strip we deserve. I have been waiting for this for so long. A few other companies have tried this but im so pleased with this purchase. Installation was effortless and easy to set up as well. The 7 different zones is plenty of area to light up. I recommend this to anyone with the Philip's Hue Play Box. Buy this and enjoy everything about it.

    Phillips Hue Fails to Disappoint

    Purchased as a gift for my Phillips Hue obsessed partner. It worked great, but he ended up returning it as his setup with the older lightstrips, bulbs, and play bars already look great (he didn’t want to buy another sync box to hook this up with another TV in the house). He exchanged for the Phillips Hue outdoor spotlights.

    An Amazing Home Theater Experience

    These lights are amazing! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to make their home theater (or just simply tv) more immersive. I also recommend to measure twice and place once, as it becomes a challenge trying to remove the 3M double sided tape that comes attached to the prongs. But overall, an amazing product and has worked beautifully!

    Adds awesome ambience to any lighting setup. Need to use it with a Hue Sync box and a hue hub. A little pricey but works great and wows all my friends that see it. Wish it had lighting at the bottom of the TV but I supplement that with a Play Bar for full coverage.

    Hue Gradient 65"

    Simple installation and setup with amazing results. Looks great behind the TV. It takes over for 7 play bars which saves you money. Hue sync box not required if streaming from a pc (free app). Don't forget a hue bridge though. Only con for me is the individual zones are not able to be manually changed yet. Rumor is we may get a software update to change that.

    The light strips are great and work great when used with the HDMI Sync Box. That being said, I'm not sure the whole setup is worth the price for what it adds to your at home viewing experience. I think it's a little overpriced and doesn't add as much to that experience as I would have hoped. I don't think this is for everyone, especially given the high price.

    This is a nice addition to the living room. I have the gradient strip connected to my hue app and it works great with the HDMI Sync Box. It adds a unique feeling of immersion when watching movies or playing games. Even without the sync features, this is a great light to add great ambience to your wall.

    Oh yeah / pairing this up w a Hue Sync -- this brings out the immersion of movie watching. It is something else. There's a reason why these sell out so fast. The things I don't like about it is the price (its sort of expensive) and its designed for no zones to go on the bottom; which is perplexing. I guess they want us to shell out more for play bars or hue go units.

    Great Lights, a must buy for any avid entertainer. You can buy them separately, but to get the most use out of them I recommend purchasing the Phillips Hue Sync Box. Also, measure the back of the TV first, the light strip come in different sizes, don't go by your screen size alone. I have a curve TV and I could have gone with a larger size.

    Light is great but the adhesive is not the best. It started to drop after a few weeks but will start for a few days after re-pressing.
