    This enhanced our tv experience. Pair with the hdmi sync box and will take the lighting experience to another level.

    The last section of the strip does not even work. For this price, that’s entirely unacceptable!!!

    You need multiple parts that cost hundreds of dollars not to mention these lights that were well above 200 dollars already

    Can use two of them in the same sync box. Plus this has two areas of lights they are out and has to be returned. Shipping took over 20 days as well. Overall a bad experience.

    Does not work as it should with buying the bridge and then the sync box. Waste of money to buy all of this and especially since it won’t change with the tv if the app you are using is already on the tv. I returned everything

    A 5 star experience should have been posted here, but please hear me out. I wish that I could have given this product 5 stars, but because of the intermittent "flicker" due to an internal short in the light bar, it took it from an awesome experience when it was momentarily working properly, to a disappointing movie/gaming distraction, that is impossible to ignore! Returned it. ☹

    The lightstrip is much dimmer than I was expecting it to be and after just a few days the lightstrip started to slowly flicker like I was turning it off and on once or twice and then right when I was 4 days out of the return policy it stopped working entirely.

    Arrived missing a mounting bracket. Customer service was no help. So much for, "Geek Squad® Certified Refurbished products being thoroughly, painstakingly and lovingly tested." I returned the light and reordered. Let's hope the new one is complete.

    As a product, I'm not sure. I was sold it but when they came to install it I was told it was not compatible, so they took it back.

    An Essential Hue Light

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Hue Play system is the realization of pretty much everything I hoped for when I first started to purchase Hue lights years ago. While I quite enjoyed my initial play setup using light bars, the gradient lightstrip really shines as the best way to synchronize lighting to media. It's an incredibly unique effect and can add a special level of immersion, especially when watching video with vibrant colors. I understand why Philips designed this to only wrap around the top and two sides of a TV, but I did opt to add a light bar below the set to provide color around the entire image. That may be unnecessary or even impossible in some setups. I occasionally still have issues with the box that operates the sync needing to be reset or, at its worst, temporarily interrupting the image being delivered to the TV, which can be quite annoying when playing a video game. The lightstrip itself, however, was easy to install and performs exactly as advertised, so it gets full marks from me.
