Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip 55" overall performance, brightness, and ease of use. Many find that it enhances immersion when used with the sync box and significantly improves room ambiance. However, some customers find the price to be high and the installation process a bit challenging. Additionally, a few customers have noted issues with the adhesive and compatibility with streaming movies.

    When walking into my house, you can see my TV from the side. If you have a sinilar set up where you can see the side if the TV, then its not really a good fit, as you look directly at the light strip. If you have a TV where you only see the front of the TV no matter where you are walking in the room, then its a good fit.

    Makes watching movies very exciting and looks great, however, the fact that it wants you to purchase a $250 HDMI Sync box is insane. There are ways around it, but it's a pain the butt to get it to look and work right.

    I've been messing around with interactive tv lighted for a while, trying many different solutions. While the most expensive, hue works the best with the least amount of problems. However, with this price, you would think some corners that were cut that should have been left alone. The tv mounting solution is not working and I'll prob have to get some 3m hooks to make it work properly. They should include at least two to four more hooks for this 5v size. The power cable is really short and you would think that for close to 300 bucks they could make it a tad longer. What worse is they try to sell you an extension for even more expense. The zone count is OK, but compared to other systems and the total cost, I'd hope for more. Long and the short, these work and if you have the budget for it, you'll be satisfied. However I'm a little tired of being burned by a premium product sales pitch and feeling short handed.

    I’ve been looking at this Hue lighting system for TVs for a while and was hesitant. First, the cost seemed very high but what the heck, I bought it and had Geek Squad install it. What a wonderful product. I love it along with a houseful of Philips Hue lighting. Enjoy everyone!

    Caution ⚠️ If you pair this with the Hue Sync box there will be no going back! It will ruin you from ever watching movies or especially gaming with out it. It’s too late for me. I only use this and tell everyone about it. Save your wallet and heed this warning. Or get the set up and start living!

    When I purchased this, it thought it would be nice, but not something that would really make a huge difference in how immersive content appeared…. I was wrong…. Makes a huge difference. Also it can be used to add ambiance to room.

    Love what they did with the new ability to mount this strip in comparison to other light strips. I had to exchange my defective tv. I was able to take off the mounts and got some new 3m double sided tape and re mount the light strip with ease.

    This works so well with the Hue Sync Box. It’s expensive but the mood it add to watching TV is just amazing. I highly recommend this in place of or in addition to the Hue Play Light Bar. Shipped quickly and arrived with no problem.

    This is a total game changer for watching movies - but you need to get the play bars for the lower part of your TV or else the effect isn't worth it - trust me on this! Do it right or don't do it at all!

    Buy it when you can!!! This was sold out and I signed up to receive notifications when it was back in stock. This replaced 4 light bars at the top of the tv, and the sync is perfect!! I have one of these and 3 light bars at the bottom of my 85 inch tv.

    Perfect it a must get but make sure when u install them try not to install them to wide apart so it can really attach to clamps that u put on the tv. Example if u have a 65 inch tv try to set up the lights at a 55 inch not exactly 65

    These lights are a great addition to my entertainment center. Though expensive to achieve the results are great. The lights are nice and bright and very accurate to lighting what on the screen. I have about 10 lights attached to my Phillip hue box now, so this light strip completes the emergence.

    Used to use 3 play bars on my TV then ai upgraded to this. If you have a TV that's smaller than 55", stick to play bars but this upgrade was totally worth it. You can also use the play bars to cover the bottom of the TV to round out the full experience.

    Great for gaming and as a backlight for movies

    I like using the color changing entertainment zone feature for gaming only, its too distracting with shows/movies IMO - but this makes a great 6500k backlight (controllable through all your Hue methods) for shows/movies so no regrets
