    Love mostly all Philips Hue products! The Play Lightstrips are spendy but worth it. Putting regular lightstrips on the back of a TV is a lot of work and very tedious and time consuming. It's defintiely worth the money and takes less than 5 minutes to install.

    the lights are very heavy and I dont feel the brackets are strong enough to hold it, I had to order 2 more tru some guy on ebay and after several triesm velcro and then strong double sided sticky tape, they are staying on, this is pricey over 500.00 for the whole system

    The instructions were not completely clear that you need to start in the one corner. I set it up on the other corner based on my outlets. The clips do not fully hold the light strip completely. However, this does have great color and looks amazing watching those high color movies.

    Have one of these around my OLED TV and it's got to be one of the best experience boosters I've ever purchased. Really expands the picture to fill the room you're watching in. It's expensive and doesn't work on its own, so you'll have to put quite a bit of money down to enjoy it fully.

    Got these after seeing them all over Tik Tok and its unfortunate but you need to also buy 2 more Philip's pieces separately to get them to work properly which was a little annoying but these lights really create the perfect set up and with staying home more nowadays these are needed!

    Big upgrade! Had the old light strip behind the TV and this is a big improvement with the different portions of the light changing color as opposed to the whole strip. I need the Sync box in order for this to work with all my devices, but it works great with the computer that's connected.

    Love this light strip. In combination with the sync and hub, it gives a much improved experience to anything you play. Sure with the price, it’s a premium addition to the TV, receiver and surround sound. But if you can afford, you won’t be disappointed.

    I don't want to watch TV without using these lights, along with the Play bars and Hue Floor lamps and other bulbs in my entertainment system with the Hue Play Sync Box. You don't know what your missing you got to get this, well worth the investment.

    If youre gwtting this to just have expensive lights behind your tv then perfect its wonderful. If you qant it to synch and change colors qith what youre watching well that is where the problem is. Every 5 minutes it will cut sound out of whatever youre watching or playing. Ive gone through tech support ive recieved different of all the things i even purchased brand new cords nothing works. Waste of money and time. Also phillips has no idea what the problem is they say its my tv which is brand new then they said my sound bar which is also brand new. Extremely frustrating. Also check reddit its a known problem.

    Best brand of smart lights. Bright and very responsive. Changes instantly with screen color. Makes gaming and watching movies and TV awesome! You need the Hue Sync Box if you use it for TV use. It will also work without but you will need to use the app and change manually.

    Thicker than my TV

    I have to be honest, I did like these lights but the only issue I have is on how thick the cable got. It’s thicker than my new TV and it sticks out. Other than that the price is way overpriced. As far as for the specs, it’s like having 3 original light strips in one. So you are saving space only.
