    Got a defective batch of refurbished but have on other tv, works great. I currently have several which can be fun if spaced out enough...the strip on the back of the tv is easy to install, just be sure to leave at least a foot on each side for lites. The connectors seem never be secure, plugs out etc...

    Sync up with your movies and music, work very nice and easy to set up; don’t stick it too close to the edge of your tv; the cable core is not that long so plan which side you want to put it, Philips do have an extension core for extra $ I paired up with my light bars in my room and don’t need any other lights

    The instructions were not completely clear that you need to start in the one corner. I set it up on the other corner based on my outlets. The clips do not fully hold the light strip completely. However, this does have great color and looks amazing watching those high color movies.

    Way easier setup that previous options. Much sturdier tubes. Although id reccomend going s size up for full coverage. The 55 inch doesnt fully cover the tv ( just the top and two sides) overall good light

    Got these after seeing them all over Tik Tok and its unfortunate but you need to also buy 2 more Philip's pieces separately to get them to work properly which was a little annoying but these lights really create the perfect set up and with staying home more nowadays these are needed!

    Best brand of smart lights. Bright and very responsive. Changes instantly with screen color. Makes gaming and watching movies and TV awesome! You need the Hue Sync Box if you use it for TV use. It will also work without but you will need to use the app and change manually.

    Pretty lights, however, the app is lacking with the ability to be able to create your own color schemes. You can not create multiple color scenes without having to download and pay for another random app. For $200 I would expect the lights to have an equally nice counterpart.

    Expensive but worth it if you watch bright and colorful movies as often as I do. The gradient is clean and much better than other brand options. I own this and the 65in version.

    Very easy to set up. Would much rather use this instead of using double sided tape with different lights. They work perfectly, giving off just the right amount of light.

    These lights look so cool on the back of my tv. I already have them on my 65" tv but the 55" strip was for my office tv & it really illuminates my office.

    I put this light strip behind my tv and it’s so cool. Connected with the hdmi box from philips hue the strip changes color depending on what’s playing on the screen to create an even more immersive experience

    While the price is high, and the product itself is frivolous, the Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip is easily the coolest and best part or my living room. Planning on, eventually, getting more for other rooms in the house

    Placed on a mounted 50" TCL TV and also included a pair of play bars and a cut Hue Lightstrip on the bottom of the TV. Looks fantastic when paired with the Hue Sync Box! The extra length was not an issue, as I just mounted the strip a little higher (about 1" from top of TV). A recent update to the Hue App also allows you to adjust three separate zones to create a "gradient" look when not syncing and I love the look. You can find cheaper lightstrips from other brangs but the Hue ecosystem is fantastic. Highly recommended.

    One of the best smart products I have in my house. This coupled with the Phillips sync box is a game changer for movie night, playing video games, or just watching TV. It has completely changed our TV room!
