    Great for PC Gaming.

    I paired these with my gaming PC using a software called ScreenBloom and it make the gaming experience so much more inmersive. Very easy to setup both the hue bridge and the PC software. Would highly recommend. A bit on the expensive side but very cool.

    Amazing lights

    These lights are amazing. I have the set up in my office for music, gaming, and movies and they don't disappoint. They work good with the Razer Chroma for music, but I think they work best when the chroma and lights work separately. I want a third since just 2 isn't enough to surround the colors for gaming and music. When playing a game or listening to music via the Hue Sync I thing that it's almost surround sound but with color. If I had a center and 2 forward left and right speakers it would better show whats on screen. With that being said, I would definitely recommend these speakers. I use them in a front room of my house and the neighbors always wonder whats going on. Very bright. It is a great investment to a game room, video room, or music room.....just remember that they are on, cause the app for your PC isn't great at turning them off when your done. Five stars!!!!

    An absolutely game changer!

    I have these installed on top my bedframe to create dynamic ambient lighting! The bars fixtures themselves are sleek and low profile which I appreciate for my minimalist asthetic. Setting up custom lighting colors and scenes was easy with the Phillips Hue app and the Spotify synchronization works seamlessly! Absolutely worth the purchase.

    These are some of the coolest lights I have ever bought. I recommend getting extension cables along with them so you can spread them out more. Super easy to use and great for setting the mood.

    These work great! My husband loved them. When we first purchased them we didn’t realize the app wasn’t available on our tv so we had to buy the hub the lights and one of the little extenders. But once we got past the frustration of setting all that up they’re working great!

    I used these as accent lighting on top of my cabinets. All I can say is "WOW! What a difference!" Set up is extremely easy and the use of voice commands is a plus!

    I upgraded from my Hue Bloom to these Hue Play lights and I am impressed by the bright colors, deeper greens and blue too... Great job on these behind my flatscreen TV. I highly recommend the upgrade!

    Perfect for TV Backlighting

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased these at the recommendation of an in-store associate. Originally, I was looking at the light strip to mount behind my TV. He pulled up the demo videos and I was sold. Integrated just as easily as any Hue lights and I have set them up with Harmony to change colors, depending on my activity. We mounted one on each side of the back of the TV (65") about halfway and they really produce the backlighting. Each is able to be set to its own color. Definitely sets an awesome mood for viewing and entertainment. I will be buying a single light next to place under the kitchen counter.

    Fun but major compatibility issues

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The colors and scenes are great however, if you use iTunes or Apple TV the sync feature is not compatible with protected content. After contacting philips about this issue, they said that there is nothing that they can do about it. I would recommend they are fun for music and mood setting but they will not sync as advertised with protected content from iTunes or Netflix!

    Very nice. Comes as advertised! Lights aren’t as bright as I thought so if you’re buying, maybe get a few extra. Don’t forget the Hue Bridge!!

    This just adds to the fun with my gaming rig. This is a great add on for someone who wants to RGB. Warning: the Hue desktop software doesn't play well with Razor Chroma.

    At first, I thought..ok it’s bright and it looks kinda cool but then, I started playing with the app..and set the lights according to what I was listening and to the mood of things going on the screen and it does add to the experience. Get the app, play with it, find your perfect color for the occasion and have lots of fun with it! Geek Squad can quickly turn your listening room into a vibrant and cool looking place!
