Philips Hue Play Gradient 65" Smart TV Light Strip, Flowing Color-Changing LED Strip Lights, Multicolor TV Backlight Sync with Music and Gaming, Requires Bridge & Sync Box, Control with App and Voice

It does what you expect. On top of the Gradient Lightstrip for my TV, I also bought the play bars. You can isolate each light into individual colors. If you’re not new to the LED scene, then know you should be familiar with setting scenes with the app. When everything arrived, I immediately started setting up. The first problem I had was connecting the bridge to the internet. The first two lights came on but not the third. Without being connected to the internet, I can’t access the bridge with the app or move on with the rest of the installation. The solution to that, was that I plugged the network cable it came with from the bridge to the splitter I have. Come to find out, the bridge doesn’t work with splitters. Technically, the protocol doesn’t allow for it. You have to directly connect it to the router. I have a 70 inch Samsung Smart TV. I bought the 65” light strip. After setting up all the lights, the bridge, and the sync box, I was excited to play something colorful like Avatar or Spiderman(across the spiderverse). So, having smart tv and all I had to do was press the Netflix button on my remote and it brings me to the TV app(There’s a reason I say that) BUT, starting a movie, the lights just dimmed to the lowest white light and they were not synced to what was being shown on screen. The app kept showing me that nothing was connected to the sync box. I of course didn’t understand if I connect my tv to the box. After hours of research, I’ve done everything I could from getting different HDMI cables, to switching ends, to factory resetting the sync box, to seeing if my tv needed to be updated. I was afraid I bought a defective sync box. My last last thing to try was to call customer support. Surprisingly, after dialing the number, less than 5 minutes, I was on the phone with someone, which is impressive. Come to find out… to have lights sync, you can’t use it with TV Applications. You have to have a second source such as a PlayStation, Xbox, Firestick and so on. After learning that, I connected my PlayStation to the sync box, went to a YouTube video and it worked. So if you’re having this same issue, hopefully I was able to help someone out. Looking it up, I wasn’t the only one stumped with this same problem. All in all, after I got it to work, it’s amazing! The lights on top of a surround sound system, you don’t have to go to the movies anymore. You have an enhanced theater right in front of you. If you’re not watching TV, you can still work the lights with the app and either set a scene or choose whatever color(s) you prefer. It’s expensive for no reason. But you get what you pay for and that’s quality. You won’t be disappointed. P.S. The Bridge, Sync Box, and the Lights all use a big box plug. The blocky ones. So I had to utilize another power strip to get everything plugged in and working on top of everything I already had plugged.

Love the product! They other products are not well made! You get what you pay for!

The Hue Sync experience is truly fun. I can't speak to the HDMI box because I use a PC, but I have a 77 inch LG G1 and I was pleasantly surprised at how accurate the light representation is. I've ran a large number of light show programs to test where and when the colors change and it is pretty spot on accurately changing colors exactly as it does on screen in the exact same spot. I was worried because it only has 7 light zones (2 on each side and 3 on top) but I've almost never noticed it not changing perfectly in sync with what is displayed. The very few times it has been off have been with a grueling spinning color wheel test image or other purposefully demanding content. Even then it is only by a little and you have to be looking for it, in normal use you will never see it miss even when looking for it. My TV is wall mounted and I didn't even have to take it off the mount. My only issue is it doesn't cover the bottom of the screen and Philips doesn't offer any solutions to cover that area that are as competent as the strip. I even purchased the Gradient Ambient Light Strip thinking it would do the job since it is basically the exact same product only without a preinstalled diffuser, but that turned out to be the only disappointing Hue product I have purchased. The Gradient Ambient light strip just doesn't work well with sync at all. It has 3 zones and depending on how you have it set up (where it is located in your room) it can display the wrong side of the screen or even have one zone that doesn't even work at all (either just a white light or it's off). Considering that one strip cost me 200 dollars I was pretty miffed about this and their customer support is very lacking. After days of talking to customer support on Facebook of all the hated places (I can't call as they are closed when I am home and they literally don't have an email address) they finally got back to me with a simple "we are aware of the problem". The Hue Play Bars work surprisingly well but it can be a pain to place their location in the app to get them to display colors properly. But this review is about the Gradient Lightstrip not the company, and that as a stand alone product works very, very well. So if you can live with no lights on the bottom, fighting to get a workaround solution you can live with considering it will never be as good as the rest of the screen, or it isn't an issue for you at all it is a must buy. As far as brightness goes it is plenty bright in my opinion, usable even in daylight as long as you close the blinds (I have normal wooden slat blinds not blackout blinds by any means) and the light shines across my entire wall and up into the ceiling or to the side and off the side wall. In fact yow will probably want to turn it down quite a bit as the light can be so bright it's distracting from the actual content. The music sync feature needs work though. It could benefit from some options as it seems pretty random what part of the music it reacts to, and with multiple lights it's hard to tell what part of the music any given light is reacting to.

I can't believe how much I love this light bar. The instructions were very clear, but hooking it to the Philips Hue Sync Box, and Philips Hue bridge was a bit time-consuming and required some trial end error. You need those two products in order to get the bar to follow the on-screen light. Otherwise it will just be a light bar. I have an 85" TV and used the 75" strip and it still looks amazing. Sometimes the strip starts to fall because the adhesive isn't amazing but I just press it back on. You could easily get another adhesive strip. Once it's all plugged in and you have the app settings the way you like, it's 0 maintenance after that. It comes on when my TV is on and turns off with my TV as well.

Though the quality is demonstrably improved from the original Hue lightstrip (particularly for bias lighting) the price point is absurdly high for a strip that barely covers 3 sides of the associated television size. Mounting the LED strip took longer than I expected because the centerline arrow indicator (once located) seemed to be off-center. Once mounted I was fairly impressed with the brightness, however while the strip worked fine in the regular Hue app I could not get the sync box to pair with the (frustratingly) separate Hue Sync app for weeks, despite power cycling my phone, router, Hue hub and the sync box (while writing this review I tried one last time and magically worked seamlessly - firmware/app update?) Subsequently I was unable to change any of the sync settings like brightness (which was unfortunately stuck at 25%) or mode. After about 4 weeks the majority of the pre-attached adhesives separated from the anchors dropping the lights back behind the TV and leaving the large adhesive pads glued to the back of my nice OLED TV. One more potentially important note I would add is the Hue lightstrip attached previously would pick up on the center-mass color from the feed, but the new LED strip matches the border colors. In hindsight this seems obvious to me, but already having Hue Go lamps covering the right and left flanks in Hue Sync leaves the strip feeling somewhat redundant. I've heard (but not validated) that changing the lightstrip mode to "Game" may change the focus to the center. However since I was unable to access the Hue Sync options before the lightstrip came crashing down I was never able to find out and also seems like it would be a waste of the lightstrip's variable color functionality which is obviously a key feature. In summary, the purpose-built lightstrip equipment design is far superior to the original lightstrip for bias lighting. However for the price point there still exist some serious gaps that leave me gritting my teeth as a consumer.

This is worth every dollar, but I admit it was harder to install than I had imagined it would be. The light strip does not snap into its holding brackets adhered to the back of the TV as well as I would have liked, especially when one person is trying to get all these in place at the same time.

Not a fan of the price, but WOW does this really help the viewing experience. I bought an LG OLED and put these behind the TV and I couldn't stop watching. I was on the hunt just to find the most visually appealing movies just to see the whole back of the TV light up and match. It was super easy to get attached to the TV and it has held up quite well for a couple of years. The colors that the strip display are very vibrant, and even helps light up the front of the room when not in use. Every now and again, the TV shuts off and comes back on, but I have a feeling that is more due to the sync box connection then the color strip to the sync box. Overall super happy for our media room tv.

The Philips Hue Play Strip Lights are fantastic! Setup was surprisingly easy using the Hue app, and the results are immediately impressive. The colors are incredibly vibrant and rich, transforming my [mention where you used them - e.g., entertainment center]. I'm blown away by the dynamic lighting they create – from relaxing ambiance to energetic movie nights, they deliver. Responsiveness is lightning fast – changes in color and brightness are instant via the app. Controlling them is a joy. These aren't just lights; they enhance the entire atmosphere of my home. Movie watching and gaming are much more immersive. Pros: * Stunning Colors: Vibrant and saturated. * Highly Responsive: Instant control. * Easy Setup: Simple app process. * Bright & Dimmable: Versatile lighting. * Great Hue Integration. * Enhances Ambiance. Cons: * Hue Bridge Required (for full smart features). * Price is Premium (but worth it for the quality). Overall: Philips Hue Play Strip Lights exceeded expectations. Exceptional color, responsiveness, and easy to use. Highly recommended! 5/5 stars!

Precisa saber que se a sua televisão não for da philips vc vai precisar pagar mais de 600 reais para poder usar a sincronização e que vc também vai precisar de um hub da philips

"إن المنتج ممتاز ورائع للاستخدام أثناء اللعب والمشاهدة أنها تتفاعل مع الأفلام والألعاب بشكل ممتاز وال البائع محترم جدا وراقي وشكرا جزيلا متجر GOLDMOON24

The product came well packaged and the stick-on supports for attaching the strip to the TV work very well supporting it as required around the back of the TV and is easily connected and the bridge detects the available connections. Simple to use and when you set up the selection App we did it on an iPad and phone and both worked very well giving a wide variety of combined colors and effects. for what we needed it offers both bright back ground light during the day around the TV or dim light when watching later in the evening to enjoy your favorite show or film. We have not set up all the variations or linked it to react to the show so just getting used to having a nice controllable light surrounding the TV to give a relaxing evening or day time film. Would highly recommend

The Philips Hue 55" Smart TV Light Strip has totally transformed the way I watch movies and play games. Setup was super easy — it just stuck right onto the back of my TV, paired smoothly with my Hue Bridge, and I was up and running in minutes. What I love most is how the lighting reacts to what’s on screen. Whether it’s a dark movie scene or a bright action sequence, the colors shift beautifully and add a whole new level of immersion that my TV just didn’t have before. It’s not just pretty — it actually enhances the viewing experience. The app control is intuitive, and I can easily adjust colors, brightness, and even set routines for different moods. Integration with my smart home means I can turn it on or off with voice commands too, which is really handy. If you want your TV to feel more cinematic without any hassle, this light strip is absolutely worth it. Great quality, great effect — highly recommended!

La instalación es sencilla, solo hay que tener cuidado cuando las tele no es plana en la parte trasera y esperar un tiempo a que peguen bien las esquinas antes de poner la tira. Funciona perfecto, en mi caso la pantalla es de de 75" y la tira de 75" queda un poco corta en los lados pero no afecta en nada la luz cubre completamente los bordes y se sincroniza perfecto. Siempre vale la pena complementar con otras luces para mejorar la experiencia, eso ya dependerá del setup.
