    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.

    Hue light strip adds depth to my home theater

    A very high quality light strip. It provides diffuse light with multiple zones of gradient light. Some of the fasteners that are used for installation had detached from the tv. So that was a little negative issue. I had bought some fasteners at Amazon.

    It's wonderful streaming and playing video games in a dark room with this. I find myself not wanting to do either until after sundown. Major improvement over the bars. It was expensive at $200 and it's ridiculously expensive after Philips increased the price to $230. It's also very surprising that we can't program zones via the Hue app.

    Works great. Easy to set up. There is another app you have to download to control it with the tv to sync the light but it can also be used with the regular hue app and bridge as a normal light so it’s on when the “living room” lights are on and then switches to mirror the TV when I turn it on. Worth it!

    Ya it's expensive, but you already knew that...this thing is completely unnecessary, BUT also a must-have for anyone looking for the next level movie night or video gaming experiences. The colors are bright and the transition speeds are near perfect. Bite the bullet and buy it. You will not regret it!

    I bought the Philips hue bridge with the philips sync box and 65" lights. The set up for the lights was easy. My hue bridge found the lights no problem. If you have $600 to blow for some lights, bridge, and sync box and wanna make family movie night the best experience than yeah go for it. I wouldn't really it to a friend because they cant afford it.

    Got a defective batch of refurbished but have on other tv, works great. I currently have several which can be fun if spaced out enough...the strip on the back of the tv is easy to install, just be sure to leave at least a foot on each side for lites. The connectors seem never be secure, plugs out etc...

    Bought this for my Samsung QN95B, only reason I’m giving it 4/5 stars is the adhesive on the clips do not stick very well to the textured backing of the TV. Ended up having to order 3rd party ones of eBay to get them to stick.

    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.

    Bought this for movies and gaming and it doesn’t disappoint. The hue sync app or device is a must and is required for this product to work as intended with your movies and games. Either download the hue sync app for free on your PC or purchase the sync device for $229. I docked 1 star off because of the high price.

    This light strip will not work with apple tv or other gaming console unless connected to hue hdmi hub, connecting this with sync app in computer (pc or mac) will only make this work for audio / video from the computer. I now have to wait to buy hdmi sync hub to work with apple tv & console, till then this is a expensive night lamp

    I bought these to use with a Hue Sync Box, these lights are very responsive and seem to be able to create more colors than your usual unbranded strips. I have a little issue with the clips that hold it up on the TV. The strip itself is so hefty and heavy that it will fall off the clip sometimes.

    Add this to the sync box for your TV and get ready for a whole new experience when watching media. This set up was easy to install on the tv and has been very reliable over the last year.

    Sync up with your movies and music, work very nice and easy to set up; don’t stick it too close to the edge of your tv; the cable core is not that long so plan which side you want to put it, Philips do have an extension core for extra $ I paired up with my light bars in my room and don’t need any other lights

    This is amazing! I bought this to go on my 65" TV so I can put it right on the edge and it works great! I needed this in case I upgrade my television in the future. You don't event need the Hue Play SyncBox, as long as you run the app from a PC/Mac - works just as good!

    I love and enjoy the light. My advice to buyers, review the install instructions in the hue app. It is much better than the "picture" instructions. It suggests have a friend help which is great advice. I've had them a few months and they are still working well.

    I had installed three separate hue strips on my 77" LG OLED before...this is much easier, more zones, one plug, and better at throwing light up and out on the walls. It doesn't look quite as nice on the back of the TV as flat strips do..but also has a better mounting system vs having sticky tape everywhere.

    A nice sturdy piece. Get ready to take the tv off of the wall and I cant stress this enough, make sure that you are aware of the amount of lights that you are dedicating to this project and the space that you are using. The lights will take over the entire room and it will drive you up a tree if youre not ready for all that action
