    These are awesome lights. I have a bunch of Hue lights but these are great and offer a ton of variety with what you can do with these.

    I have mine stuck to the back of my TV and they work and look great. I find the back lighting really helps when watching movies in the dark.

    Not a real starter kit

    When I hear of starter kit, I think it includes everything you need to get started. This provides your the two lamps and power cords and hub. Not the sync box that is needed to use it for real with games, movies, streaming on a TV, where it seems best suited for. That will cost an extra $200 unless you are fine with plugging your computer into your tv or streaming limited content from your phone. Streaming from phone causes delays in lights. Overall, it's okay, but you really need that sync box to make it actually work well.

    Without the HDMI sync box these don’t work that well. Being able to sync everything up from my tv or with music was the real kicker! Would recommend only with the HDMI box

    The colors of the light reflect the PC and not the TV unless you have the SYNC box which is not included in this starter pack. You would need to connect your TV to the PC/desktop.

    Have this set up in the media room and works great. Docking a star because when power comes back during an outage, it goes back to the default light setting.

    My teen wanted this for his bday. They are neat, and he loves them. Annoying he needs the laptop to coordinate them with Xbox though. Wish they synced up better that way.
