    It’s just okay. The lights DO NOT change with streaming movies. It works great for satellite feeds only. For the price of the hue light strip and the hue sync box over$400. Its not worth it.

    I wish; I would've waited a year later after release of one these where I don’t need that darn HDMI Play box. They seen me coming. Next just wait for Philips to come out with all in one product where that stupid HDMI Box is not needed. Currently in my closet. Had to reach out to support to many times. They tried there best to be helpful but didn’t help and all. Just saying. I’m just one person saying this bu, heys that’s my opinion.

    Not Worth The Money

    This product does not do any gradient of lights unless you are using it for your computer or you purchase an additional $250 Hue HDMI Tv Box. There is no functionality in the app to have the strip due multiple colors. The only way to do multiple colors for this light strip is if you purchase the Hue HDMI Box, or have the app on your computer and use it specifically for your computer. All in all, the naming for this product is misleading as well as Philips on the functionality of the product. Oh yeah the last kicker is Philips said they will look into adding multiple color control for one strip on the app, they said this back in 2020, 2 years too late.

    $500 Garbage

    Phillips Hue is the worst immersion lighting system ever made. Customer service is useless. They help 0. The lights will not sync to anything. You need to purchase three separate pieces of equipment in order for one light strip behind your tv to work. It was 4-5 hours of setup time trying to reset and pair and wash/rinse/repeat the whole process. It was miserable. Im stuck with this garbage.
