    A cool addition to the hue lineup

    The color quality and output intensity is not quite as good as the rest of the lineup, but the form-factor is great. These are perfect for bias lights behind a TV or monitor, or as little accents in small spaces. You'd get better output and color from a couple of lightstrips or Go fixtures, but if you have a space that these are right for (I'm using them behind my monitor on my desk) and you're already invested in the hue ecosystem then you'll be satisfied.

    These light bars look great beside a TV; they add a lot to the ambiance of a room, especially paired up with the Hue Sync Box. I've never had issues with Philips smart home products and while expensive, they just work, which is worth a lot to me.

    Works Great With a PC

    I tested this by connecting it to my PC and the experience was amazing. However, I bought this Hue Play lights to use with my tv. For the price, I would say the experience has been underwhelming to say the least. To sync the light with your tv, you need another $230 Phillips device. The back of my over-the-fire place mounted tv is overcrowded already, and to add another dongle just the sync the lights is inconceivable.

    Great product, works well and if you use Iphone and Alexa devices. I do not use the feature where it changes colors with a screen but have tried it and it seems nice. Would be cool it it worked with tv and not just computer. Otherwise, puts off good light and works well.

    Very strong light bars definitely recommend if you like to add more light effects to your entertainment system. As far as the price for the bars they could make it a bit more affordable. Especially with new competitors coming out with the same ideas but as getting the light for it to be one of the first to sync with my tv videos, music sound and free mode it has been one of my favorite purchase.

    Having these lights tied the whole room together for me. Putting these behind the tv gives the entire room a nice hue of color even where the overhead lamps don't really reach.

    puts out a decent amount of light and can either be freestanding or mounted to the back of the tv. I have mine free standing shining back towards the wall behind the tv and it sets a real nice vibe.

    I already have the Philips Hue lights throughout my house and just recently bought an electric fireplace with mantle. I was wanting to hide these laying down behind picture frames to up-light the wall above it. These are so much brighter than the light strips and have a more correct and true to color similar to the bulbs.

    Great Bright LED lighting for HDMI hue play

    I bought this to go with my HDMI Hue Play for my TV. The lights are incredibly bright and the color range is excellent. I am going to buy another one to back light a few tall plants I have in the house. They are low profile so can be hidden nicely and makes a great accent light on the wall.

    Love these lights. I am slowly adding to my Hue collection. I have several and love them all. I have these on my desk and they light up the desk and give a great night time glow for the kids (and me) if we have to get up and get something from the kitchen.

    I added the play with my LG C9. I love the colors it produces. It adds to my viewing experience. I also use it as night light because the bulb in my room is too bright. I downloaded the OnSwitch app which is an added bonus due to not having a pc or laptop. Hooking it up was East also.

    I got these to serve as active bias lighting behind my computer monitor. When you turn on light sync, they reflect the colors on the screen onto the wall behind it - in real time. They were extremely easy to set up and really elevated my gaming experience.

    Super easy and quick setup. Links right to the Phillips Hue Bridge, which you must have because these lights do not include a bridge. The one downside is that I had to buy a Hue Play Box to really get the most out of these lights since I wanted use them as dynamic TV lighting.
