Worth the wait

So I bought 2 of these sets on ore-sale. They were to arrive 2/5 but a week prior I got an email letting me know I’d have them 2/4. 2/20 they finally arrived and I have never been happier! The vibrant colors make any movie or tv show more amazing plus the brightness control allows for subtle hints of color without blasting the room. We even find ourselves using them for their bright white setting to really liven up a room.

Cool Uplights!

I love these lights. They accessed the HUE Bridge without any issues. I assigned the colors I wanted and placed them behind my flat screen. So cool looking. Another excellent product from Philips! THANK YOU.

Got the HUE SYNC to sync with everything! (ROKU, PS4pro, AVR...etc)

I have 2 sets of HUE play, it’s great. For many of you wondering how to get the HUE SYNC (pc and mac) to work with things like ROKU (Netflix), gaming consoles (PS4, Xbox, Switch)...etc etc, let me walk you through this extensive process of making it happen along with the devices you’ll need: ******5/2/2019 UPDATE****** (If you get confused, grab a piece of paper and draw it out lol) 1) HDCP2.2 HDMI Splitter with at least 2 Outputs (Look for splitter that has auto step down to 1080 from 4K for second output) If your TV is 4k, then make sure the Splitter you get is 4k and HDCP2.2 ready. It must say HDCP 2.2 and not just 4K or HDCP1.4 in the description of the splitter! As For input side, you only need the amount of devices that you have (no you shouldn’t run multiple splitters into one splitter). For me, I have all of my devices going into my AVR, so I just need 1 input with 2 outputs HDMI Splitter (1x2). If you have just a ROKU, then that’s what you need. If you have ROKU and a XBOX/PS4, then you’ll need a HDMI switch that has 2 inputs and 2 outputs (2x2). No matter how many input you need, you must have 2 outputs and the second output has the feature to convert 4K to 1080. This is not a feature you need if your TV is 1080p, but very important for the 4K people because it’ll save you a lot of headache in adjustments. 2) HDMI to USB Video Capture Device Most HDMI video capture only captures 1080p, there’s absolutely no reason for 4K just for HUE Sync if you are simply trying to pick up the color from the video capture. Connect the video capture device to the Output 2 of the HDMI splitter on one side via HDMI cable, and the USB side connect it to your PC/Mac. 3b) STOP! Before doing anything else, download the Philips Hue smartphone app, and connect the lights you want to sync with your TV to the Hue Bridge first. Update everything and make sure it’s ready BEFORE you setup with the HUE Sync software on the PC/MAC. 3c) On your PC/MAC, download “OBS Studio”, install the driver/software. I’m running Windows 10 here, so I don’t know if it will work with Chromebook or any other OS. With the OBS Studio software, what I did in the setting is to make sure the canvas screen is set to 1080 so the screen ratio of the video capture is correct. You don’t need high frame rates and you don’t need high resolution here! Lower left side of the OBS Software you’ll see the sources box, select + and select OEM Video capture. Set the PREVIEW screen to full screen, and make sure there’s no black cutoff portions. 4) HUE SYNC Install HUE Sync, there’s plenty of YouTube video telling you how to setup the HUE Sync on your computer, so just go ahead and do that and you’re good to go. What I did do is turn off music sync, intensity to subtle. NOTE: Under Settings/General-Preference/Background-lightning: Turn off background lighting. It messes with the HUE Sync with this low white light when the same section of the display is showing black. Optional: I bought a mini windows PC to run as a dedicated TV PC. Please install a CCleaner and run it automatically at start up so you won’t ever see the infamous Windows “slowing down” issues. In the HUE SYNC PC software, you can set specific buttons on the keyboard to start Syncing. I have to say, that I did end up buying 3 different mini PC and returned two of them because they simply can’t power 4K without freezing. I ended up getting a MSI cube n with a 5000N processor with 8GB ddr4 ram. I changed resolution down from 4K to 2048x1152, and refresh rate to 60Hz. It runs very smoothly all day without issue. If you do all of this correctly, you now can watch or play everything on your TV and enjoy HUE Play, regardless of the source. Remember to check your 4k setting in your Xbox/PS4 pro/ROKU to make sure it’s able to output 4K on your 4K tv. If the splitter you use or any parts you use besides the video capture is NOT HDCP2.2, you will not be able to watch 4K. If you force 4K output on your ROKU, it may work but the video capture will show a black screen. Make sure your HDMI are at least 2.0, amazon’s cable works fine, there’s no benefit with more expensive HDMI cables. I’ll take my 2 cents, thanks.

Awesome for gaming

These are great for gaming PCs. I would recommend getting the dual pack though. I ended up buying 2 extensions after seeing the effects with Overwatch. For a 24" monitor, 3 is a bit much but two would be just right. If you have a larger display, you could likely do with 3 of them. The refresh interval is pretty quick so you actually see the lens flare/bright light effects amplified pretty well

Super Cool Lighting System

While not as bright as I’d hoped, these are terrific for adding ambiance to an area of your home. I use mine angled up toward the wall behind my computer and music production area, and it adds a really nice, hip look. The app works perfectly and allows me to change the colors to anything I want.

Really adds good light to a room, even behind a TV

Bought these to complement wall light and overhead lights in our media room. It's a much more pleasant experience to have these on behind the tv (setup on the vertical light stands included) than using the lights around the room. They bring enough light in to see around the room, but not obnoxious to interfere with TV viewing/picture.

Love these lights

I'm committed to the Philips hue environment. They are so easy to get set up and control. I have these tied to a Philips hue switch in a room that otherwise has no switched light control. They are surprisingly small but put out a ton of light.

The best looking Hue product yet

love the look. be careful, though. The two-pack still only comes with a single power source. Both lights need to be plugged into a single outlet. My initial plan was to have them flank the entertainment center, but I have to keep them together to one side. That'd be a disappointment if these weren't so utterly fantastic WRT build quality and light output. Best. Hue Product.

Sweet

Mounted on to the back of my tv perfectly
