    Cost Too Much, Installation a Pain

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

    I did not realize that in addition to the $249 lights that you also had to buy a $50. If you wanted to sync video to the light strip then you had to spend another $249 for a sync box. Installation was a pain in the rear end, the included guides didn't hold the lights. If you end up getting this light system consider an alternate adhesive and mounting method, it'll save you a ton of frustration. On the plus side the software Phillips offers is pretty good, pretty easy to setup and use. People who already immersed into the Hue ecosystem will find it easy to setup and use. The lights themselves are cool looking and worked well right out of the box. You may tweak things like brightness to your liking but overall it works. In closing these lights are nice and easy to use but installation and cost are annoying. I returned these and got the Govee Immersion lights that do the same thing for $70 without all extras Hue requires.

    Amazing what these can do to make an animated movie insanely immersive! I paired this with 3 Play bars and the sync box and my entire room makes me feel like im in the movie!

    Dont waste your money

    The adhesive on this will last about six months. Then, nothing in the universe will hold this in place. Im on my third set of adhesive strips to hold the olastic mounting hardware in olace, and nothing works long. Like so much of the Hue ecosystem, under engineered. I fond myself wishing i hadnt invest thousands of dollars across my house in this stuff.

    Great to watch movies

    It is perfect to watch movies or music videos. We really love it. Only thing is that it keeps falling out from the back of our TV

    Nice lights

    The lights were super nice and pretty even though they were pricey (269.99) and we were okay with that. But for them to expect you to pay 249.99 just for a syncbox to make them work is ridiculous. I could understand an HDMI cord or something similar but we have decided to return them because we refuse to purchase the box for that price.

    Cool but incomplete without sync box

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

    I bought this light strip to use with my existing hue set up. I wasn't interested in using the sync box with it, and found out the "gradient" feature is only available with the sync box. If you're planning on using this with just the regular Hue app, know that it will only be able to display one color at a time. How disappointing.

    Waste of Money

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

    Don’t waste your money buying this. The adhesive it comes with lasted me about 6 months before they fell down. I’ve now bought multiple sizes of clips, adhesives, and mounting tape and absolutely nothing will keep these lights up. Shouldn’t have to be work this hard for lights that already cost $260.

    Cool idea, poor execution

    When it works it’s good but it just doesn’t. If using Samsung tv app it’s a total nightmare and support cannot help. The only option they suggest is to factory reset your tv. If you do want to buy this, make sure you only do month to month subscription.

    Falls off after 2 years of use

    Don’t expect it to last more than 2 years. The strip will inevitably fail and fall off, and when it does, you will end up breaking your monitor. It was fine until today.

    Constantly falling off the tv

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

    I've had this for probably close to 2yrs now and the mounting hardware has NEVER stayed stuck to the tv longer than a few days. The light itself works fine, but it's bulky and awkward to try and bend into shape. It's ok if you don't mind constantly reattaching the hardware/strip to the tv. But in hindsight I would have spent my money on the lightbars instead.

    No good

    I really would like my money back. I thought these would work but it’s a nightmare to setup. The 3mm tape that comes with them are garbage. The angle for this is also garbage. Everything about this is garbage. I’m very disappointed with this. I would never recommend this to anyone at all

    Not amazed

    Didn't get too much out of the Play experience as I was hoping for, for how much it costs. Returning.
