Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love this with the sync box. Integrates with the other philips Hue lights. I was using just regular bulbs for the top sides and the “hue Play” for the bottom sides so 4 bulbs all together. This takes the place for the top of the TV fits a 75” TV perfect colors are bright and vibrant. Noe i use the “hue Play” light on the floor behind entertainment center as floor level shooting up. The 3 together works great. Just a bit pricey but easy to use and everything still on one app.

They work wonderfully. More recommended for small spaces but other than that its pretty awesome. Very solid colors too.

I remember when the strips we’re thin little 3m tape flimsy stickies. this is so much better! what an upgrade!! It takes just a few minutes a little longer if you’re tv is a little larger as we had to take it down from the wall mount. But applying the mounts and sticking it on was effortless. So easy to do and the strips/lights are as vibrant as ever!

It adds another dimension to watching movies. After using these for a while it doesn’t feel right watching anything with out them. They are too expensive and you have to be careful with the connection between the strip and the circuit board box, it is a little flimsy especially at the price. I have 2 strips, when I was moving one from one TV to another the circuit board box opened. I put it back together but the lights wouldn’t work after that. I tried to get a replacement box from Philips but they don’t sale that particular part. If you purchase make sure you get Best Buy protection because Philips is less then helpful

This was my second purchase of the gradient lightstrip. I have the 55 inch version and recently purchased a 65 inch tv, it was a no brainer to get the lights to go along with it. When used with the sync box it adds a whole new level of immersion to movies and games that cant be beat. Pricey but i definitelt recommend for the avid home theater enthusiasts

I am a bit of a Philips Hue nut. So as soon as this option became available to replace the three play bars I had mounted to the back of my TV, I jumped at it. Can't say enough of how easy to install and use the gradient strip. Being able to do more than one color is amazing and truly creates some amazing visuals. It's pricey but I don't regret it.

The lights are a natural, next step in adding to your viewing experience. They can be subtle or enveloping depending on how you integrate them. Makes your screen size seem larger and immerses you in what you’re watching. You need to have the Hue Sync box to really show them off.

Bought this alongside the new sync box 8k and it works flawlessly. The only downside is that the strip doesn't cover the bottom part of the tv if you have it hung. I bought some hue play bars to fix that problem.

Although pricey, This is the best Lightstrip I've tried in terms of quality and getting the most ambiance. Unfortunately the first one that was delivered to me had a faulty corner which made the one corner always have Green LED's. Luckily I bought it from Best Buy & they have wonderful customer service. They sent me the replacement first before I had to send the faulty one back.

So cool! Colored light surrounds your TV to match what you're watching. Really enhances my viewing experience. It's expensive since you also need the HDMI Sync box, but if you can afford it, it's totally worth it. One other downside is that it only works through HDMI, so it won't work with native smart TV functionality. I use the new Chromcast with Google TV.

I love this light nice to be able to do multiple colors and If you have a hue ecosystem or a sync box it’s even better a bit pricy but definitely worth it

Awesome colors. Kinda difficult to setup with the Sync box but I blame the box, not the lights. After a couple of weeks the adhesive came off my TV and I haven’t figured out what I’m gonna do to fix it yet, sad.

I really like the colors with the gradient lightstrip. It's an expensive solution when combined with the HDMI sync box but it works well with movies and music. It works best with a light colored wall behind as the colors will be less dynamic on a dark wall. Fortunately, I already planned to pain the room lighter.

This would have been a perfect rating if not for the ease of installation. The lightstrip is not as flexible as one would expect like the previous Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Lightstrip. It came with plastic “corner guides” which allows the strip to fit snugly when it goes on the corner edges of your TV, but since the strip is so rigid and “uncooperative”, it tends to snap out of the gap where it was suppose to be in and ultimately it just hangs wherever it wants. My TV has an uneven backside so the strip cant even lay flat on the back panel of the TV and makes it is so difficult for it to be held down even if you apply a double sided tape on it. I would say the previous Hue White and Color Ambiance Lightstrip was such a breeze to put on that it makes you wanna forget about the missing gradient feature it lacks that creates the stunning visual effect it when you use your TV for viewing or streaming music.

Love it. It’s bright and colorful. Works well for my room and entertainment area. Wouldnt buy again because the price with cheaper just as good alternatives but not gonna knock the rating for that. Buy it and you wont regret it.

Great addition to my hue light setup. Worked great.

I already had a standard light strip behind my TV, but I barely used it for Hue Sync because a single color means that the Sync Box has to decide on one dominant color per frame. That means that if you have a relatively static scene where say an object or person walks across, the light strip will flicker as each frame has a slightly different color composition. Doesn't matter if you have surrounding Hue lights, the effect is very distracting. Not so with the gradient strip, as each zone stays relatively stable due to not having to adjust for motion outside its corresponding area. Night and day difference. My only con with this strip is that it doesn't cover the bottom of the screen (the strip is effectively an inverted "U" for the top and sides only). But that's a very small con and barely affects the overall quality.

Surprisingly cool but a real difficult install to say the least. We have an older Bose soundbar and our HDMIs run through the wall so that they are hidden. Oh, and by the way, you NEED the HDMI box as well as this strip in order for all this to work - that is another $200 or so. So before you get into this, make sure you are willing to spend $450 for some pretty lights behind the tv. Having said that, I would say that it is! That is officially nuts! At any rate, back to the HDMI, you will need the latest cables 2.0 and above for this to work right. And the app is confusing. We had a Chromecast Google TV setup. You have to plug that into the Philips Sync box and then run a line OUT to the TV. If you do that it will see the active HDMI port. It doesn't recognize lines in. For the soundbar to work, you have to then run an ARC HDMI cable out of the tv to the soundbar. If all that is done, you get some pretty amazing light shows. Its interesting for maybe the first day or two and then you really don't care anymore.

I replaced 5 Hue Play light bars with this light strip. Its pricey, but couldn't be happier with the quality, what a diff it makes when watching a movie. It can be a bit tricky to wrap it around the covers, I used few command strips to hold the strip especially around the corners.

I bought a whole set up for my boyfriend for his birthday and he absolutely loves having the lights set up. The colors are great and really add to our movie nights and game play! I love them so much that I plan to get more of the strips to add to different parts of our house.
