    These are fantastic, but they're really expensive. For what they are, I'd love to see them be a little more affordable. HOWEVER, they do work really well, and coupled with the hub and HDMI sync box, they've made my husband's gaming experience much more fun.

    Good, but 2 Light Bars Are Better and Same Price

    Bought Play Light Bars to fill in the bottom of the screen. They ended up being brighter than the Strip and doing color better for essentially the same price. If I could go back in time, I would just put the lightbars behind the screen on both sides. Still its nice if you got the income and want the "full" experience.

    To be honest, it’s nice and it does changes the vibe of the room specially when gaming. But if you’re on Crunchyroll it won’t work for some reason. Also kinda pricey

    Ordered on Amazon. This is extremely short in length, will hardly work for 24" monitor and if it's curved forget about it. Wait for availability for the 32" strip and hope it's on sale.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Philips Hue's Gradient Lightstrip Is a More Elegant, But Pricey Way of Jazzing Up Your Home TheaterWhile it definitely ain't cheap, if you're looking for a way to spice up your home theater, when combined with the Hue Sync box, Philips Hue's new Play Gradient lightstrip is the way to go.

    Philips Hue Play Gradient Strip review: Pretty but priceyIs the pricey Philips Hue Play Gradient Lightstrip worth the money, or are you better off buying a Philips Ambilight TV outright instead?
