Customer Ratings & Reviews

This was one of my favorite purchases. If you buy the sync box it completely matches up to the colors on the screen which is great for movies and even sports. The only problem I have is that with the sync box, everything is linked up to a single hdmi even if you’re using cable and a game console, and the only way to change the inputs back and forth from console to cable is the hue sync app on your phone. Since they’re both connected to a single hdmi, you can’t change the input on your normal tv remote, so no one else can really use the TV without you being there. I think the product is great enough to disregard this issue, but moving forward hue should try to do something about not being able to use the TV remote it came with to switch inputs. Also, you can’t use the hue lights for smart tv apps. Only consoles and cable.

They work great. Since I purchased the HDMI Sync box last year, this was the perfect addition. I had used a classic light strip wrapped in a circle around the wall mount, but that only worked for one color. Watching this strip dazzle is such a treat. Expensive to be sure, but worth it.

Amazing upgrade from the Hue dual light bars that they replaced. So much more color and brightness. Install was easy and so far no issues with the mounts falling off even after some extended watch sessions with the lights on and TV exhaust venting the heat. We also appreciate the ability to set 3 colors on the strip as my wife uses it to highlight her seasonal decorating. Only downside is that to get the full use out of your lightstrip is that you have to have the Hue sync box. I primarily use my lightstrip for syncing from a PC while gaming but do occasionally use Netflix and Amazon Prime. Due to DRM requirements the desktop sync app won't work with either.

Not for everybody but if you've seen videos of ambient TV backlights and like the effect, the gradient lightstrip is an excellent, though higher end system. You also need a Hue Syncbox and Hue hub to pull it all together, so altogether it's a bit pricy.

Expensive, but works great. I got the Sync Box with 2 Play Bars, and was a little bummed when this was released because it so much better than the bars. Finally pulled the trigger on this, it was a breeze to install and works great.

I’m using this light strip to replace 4 hue play bar lights connected to the sync box. Installation was simple. The double sided tap brackets are easy to attach (and I even moved 2 after a minute or so, which was easy). There is a little notch on the light to indicate the middle, which made it easy to identify where it should go on the tv. Although pricey, this is a much better experience. The light strip has different zones which make a seamless transition of the lighting effect. Before, I felt like the top of the screen color was never used and the left and right side lights would sometimes be delayed in changing colors. This light strip does not have those problems - timing is excellent and the zones are accurate.

Decent product. It’s not as great as Philips would have you believe. Perhaps if you lived in an Ikea ad with pure white furniture against pure white satin sheen walls with nothing hanging on the walls or sitting anywhere near your tv, the dynamic impact would be better, but if you don’t live in an all-white sterile environment, the effect is not very noticeable at all. There are two big problems with this product: 1. It does not illuminate below the bottom of the screen at all. This leaves out roughly ⅓ of the screen’s perimeter and makes the 3-sides only effect uneven and wonky. 2. The sizes listed on the light strip aren’t sized properly for most modern screens. We have a 65” LG CX OLED which should have been an easier fit than most TVs of the same screen size as these LGs, as with most other OLEDs, have nearly zero bezel or frame surrounding the screen. Philips’ installation instructions state that the light strip should run the full perimeter of the left, right, and top sides, and that it should be positioned between 5 & 10 cm from the outside edge of the TV (so, roughly 2-4” from the outside edge at most). Instead, the 65” light strip only covers a portion of the 65” OLED’s screen. We had to pull off and reattach the adhesive holders several times to stretch things as much as we could, but in the end, we only managed to get each side to extend down to about 8 inches from the bottom and to get this much of the sides covered, had to move the light strip inward to around 10 inches from the outer edge and even then had to go with a very large radius curve away from the corners to have enough slack to at least make it functional. This means the light strip sits around 4-5 times further from the outer edge of the TV than it is designed to do. This drastically reduces the outward spread of the illumination and in turn causes the colors to blend together. For the VERY expensive price tag, Phillips needs to address both the bottom and sizing issues. In the meantime, if you have a 65 inch OLED, buy the 75 inch light strip.

Great addition to my LG CX. The additional ambiance makes gaming or watching movies even more fun to experience.

Light strips were very easy to attach to tv. Having to download 3 separate apps to get them to work with the sync box was a bit of a hassle though. Lights up entire small living room nicely.

Haven’t gotten a the sync box yet but even having just the lights on the back of the tv are a game changer. Installation is easy and pairs easily with the rest of your hue lights. Looks awesome!

The lights are amazing they give you the feeling of your own personal theater and a beautiful atmosphere that can be customized

Awesome product. Must have product for any household already using the Hue system. I originally purchased multiple Hue Play bar lights for behind my TV/stand. When paired with the Hue Play Sync box the lights provided the desired effect, the Gradient Lightstrip is a game changer. I moved the other lights around the room to create an immersive experience and it is awesome! This product was out of stock for quite some time. I set an alert on Best Buy and jumped at the opportunity to purchase when it was back in stock. My only comment is with regard to the plug adaptor that connects the lightstrip to the power. Be sure to connect the correct plugs because there are a few wires that look similar but have specific plugs that need to be connected.

This was bery easy to install and i loved the results have not had any problems with this light looks good on my 85inch.

Just got it in and with a little measuring and spacing was pretty easy. Im so far happy with it and fits on my Sony A9G Oled TV great. I just wish it had a about 6 more inches.

Works great and a lot brighter than expexted. Very easy to set up.

Easy set up easy to use and for my tv perfectly make sure you buy the correct length

Awesome product! Works as described. Easy to install.

Love! The colors and responsiveness are amazing. Makes for such a great experience watching movies and music videos!

It’s a fantastic set of lights that pair well with movies, tv shows, and games. Unfortunately it’s useless otherwise without that feature, but youll need to invest in the HDMI Sync Box to get the best use out of it, but if you can afford it, its worth doing. Setup can take roughly five minutes or so depending on how accessible the back of your TV is at any given time.

Besides having to wait forever to get this item cause there always sold out. Well it was worth the wait, this works awesome and the color is equal all the way around tv. Highly recommended
