    It’s average. Has bright vibrant colors but do not buy unless you plan on spending an additional amount of money to buy the actual item that connects it to your TV. Too much money for not a lot of use unless you pay more money to add the extra use.

    Ya it's expensive, but you already knew that...this thing is completely unnecessary, BUT also a must-have for anyone looking for the next level movie night or video gaming experiences. The colors are bright and the transition speeds are near perfect. Bite the bullet and buy it. You will not regret it!

    These are expensive, but they are a great addition to my TV entertainment center with the back light. If you can buy these on sale I would highly recommend it. They are very easy to install and the directions are very helpful too.

    the lights are very heavy and I dont feel the brackets are strong enough to hold it, I had to order 2 more tru some guy on ebay and after several triesm velcro and then strong double sided sticky tape, they are staying on, this is pricey over 500.00 for the whole system

    Thicker than my TV

    I have to be honest, I did like these lights but the only issue I have is on how thick the cable got. It’s thicker than my new TV and it sticks out. Other than that the price is way overpriced. As far as for the specs, it’s like having 3 original light strips in one. So you are saving space only.

    Have one of these around my OLED TV and it's got to be one of the best experience boosters I've ever purchased. Really expands the picture to fill the room you're watching in. It's expensive and doesn't work on its own, so you'll have to put quite a bit of money down to enjoy it fully.

    This actually changes how immersive watching TV is. An amazing product yet again from philips hue. The only downside is the price but when you think about the simplicity and ease of installation combined with a simple app to control everything makes this purchase a no brainer!

    Awesome ambient light feature for TV surround. Easy installation! Easy integration with existing Hue bridge! This product enhances the movie viewing experience like I'd never imagined. Will be buying more for the remaining rooms in my home.

    Another Great Hue Product

    Excellent backlight for your tv. I would recommend connecting to the hue app before installing as well as checking the length of the light strip before you mount it. Depending on the tv, it will likely not go around the entire outer edge.

    This provides tons of colorful lighting for my entertainment area. It has a really solid reliable feel and the PC app that syncs the image with the backlight and other room lights runs great. Makes watching movies more entertaining

    A bit pricey but nice. Would have been 5 stars if it was half the price. I can't understand why Phillips stopped selling the Ambilight tv in the US. Only available overseas. This will do for now I guess

    The adhesive back for the mounts are really subpar; after just one readjust, it comstantly falls off, but once i put on some double sided alien tape, it looks great on my 70” TV

    Half of the strip quit working after about a month of use. When it worked it’s extremely bright with vibrant colors. Phillips Hue warranty has been top notch and have replaced the faulty strip.
