    Fantastic addition to TV

    Used to use 3 play bars on my TV then ai upgraded to this. If you have a TV that's smaller than 55", stick to play bars but this upgrade was totally worth it. You can also use the play bars to cover the bottom of the TV to round out the full experience.

    Great for gaming and as a backlight for movies

    I like using the color changing entertainment zone feature for gaming only, its too distracting with shows/movies IMO - but this makes a great 6500k backlight (controllable through all your Hue methods) for shows/movies so no regrets

    While expensive, this is one of their best products. Most other behind the TV strips just don’t compare. The need for the expensive Hue Play box is a turnoff when you want the content to change the backlighting.

    The colors are bright and really enjoying the progressive color change instead of only being able to have one color at a time.

    Pricey, but is it worth it?

    It is worth the purchase atm, but make sure you get the hue play sync box or you’re only going to get regular lightstrip features. Definitely way better quality than the normal lightstrips from hue though! I’ll rate again in 2 years.

    [Employee of bestbuy] A bit complicated but pairs well with my OLED TV, does reduce eye strain. Turns out we are not supposed to watch tv in absolute darkness.

    Sticky mounting strips don’t affix very well. The thing falls off my tv despite following the instructions. Gravity is the pits sometimes :( The lights are great, but the proprietary ac adaptor can be difficult to mix n match even with other hue light strips.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This light strip is gorgeous. The distribution is even, the clips are fool proof and I absolutely love the synchronization. Just remember: YOU NEED THE HUB AND SYNCH BOX. If you do not have the hub, the light will remain at warm bright setting.

    Good light strip. Does what is expected. Note, the 3m tape kept falling. Had to buy my own double tape so that it stays on the tv.

    Work as intended, adds light to the TV. Sticker doesn't hold for too long but you can purchase the 3rd party ones to glue it through

    Immersive viewing experience when paired with the Hue Sync Box! Had been debating this purchase for a while as I had a pretty nice setup using just play bars. No regrets. Looks fantastic. Really adds a new level to watching content.

    The build quality is great, and the lightstrip is very responsive and bright. However, I wish there were more options to paint the lightstrip sections when it isn't being used by the sync box. Otherwise this is a great product.

    awesome light strip. Each small section can display a wide variety of colors. Watch a video of how it works. Then you'll buy it.. Oh Yes, Please read how to install it before you put I on your tv. Its hard to fix once it is up.

    Worth the cost if you have a full hue house! Definitely not a starter light as you need all the other lights to go with it.
