    Adds more a immersive feel to certain movies. It’s not too distracting and great for movies with thunder or marvel films. Adding a hue sync makes it even better it’s def a must have

    We were excited when these lights were finally available for our 85” Sony. Since getting them they have fell off the back of the tv 3-4 times weekly! This whole Philips Hue experience is too expensive to not hold properly! When they r on and sticking, the experience is awesome but I am seriously thinking about returning! What a headache!

    These light strips can provide an insane ambient color scape for your home. Online posts of what people can achieve is what made me want to grab one this year.

    DON’T TRUST BEST BUY, ORDER SOMEWHERE ELSE! I got shipped the wrong light, i ordered the 55” lightstrip for my 55” tv and they sent me a 65” (which at first doesn’t sound too bad till you realize the lights won’t sync correctly because the sizing is off! Then all the accessory double sided sticky tape mounts were used and stuck to the box and came off with cardboard making them useless. And to top that the connection is very delicate and turn off/on if the lights move even a little. PLEASE ORDER SOMEWHERE ELSE, DON’T TRUST BEST BUY WITH YOUR MONEY AND DON’T EXPECT REAL HELP FROM CUSTOMER SERVICE!

    I brought this item as an Open box (Good Condition) no major issues written on the comment part that this item will be defective after use. If anything, I would recommend buying a new box instead of an open box because they will never replace you with the greek squad protection as promise. They sold me an item that is defective and won’t do anything to replace it. Now i’m having to contact the manufacturer to help me replace an item that should be fix by Best buy greek squad.

    Must have OLED TV or pay $300+ to Phillips

    Product is extremely buggy. Must buy Phillips Bridge ($60) and Phillips Box ($250) if you don’t have an OLED TV. And then if you have a 4K TV, when playing XBOX series X you have to reduce the quality to 1080p. Issue is all over Reddit. Phillips is really trying to nickel and dime you on this one. BUYER BEWARE. Sync also randomly stops and just turns white. Save your money and time. See picture. Clearly not synced with color. (Purple).

    Works beautifully but doesn’t work with fire tv. Theyll work for a light but they won’t change colors like they’re supposed to.

    I bought this product on October 9th, 2022 but it has fallen twice already. I called HUE customer support to get replacement tape for it, but they don't have them. I believe that for the price of the product, what's being used to attach it to a TV is really bad.

    Bought the open box in “excellent” condition that includes all original parts, packaging and accessories (or suitable replacement). I received a brown box with just the light strip and a sim popper from a samsung device. No adhesive mounts, no power cord. I was expecting to get a great deal on the lights since I’ve bought open-box products from best buy before and they’ve all worked great. This time I got scammed.
