It's honestly really nice for watching movies on. I had the dreamscreen [youtube.com] a couple years ago and it was cool. The thing that annoys me here though is that you could by both the led strips and the hdmi receiver for a total of $200 for the dreamscreen. This though is $200+ for the led strips and then another $200+ for the hdmi receiver. Twice the cost for the same thing (even though the technology here is a tad better). Philips profit margins on this must be massive.

I currently use two regular hue light strips (one top, one bottom) and then a hue play on each side of the TV.

I can't tell how much the gradient helps, would this be an upgrade over this 4x zone setup?

Yeah I wish, they sell out quick and can't restock fast enough while scalpers scoop them up to sell on eBay.

Thank you. Was able order one.

Funny, I have had them saved at BestBuy.com and decided to check the Hue website this morning and it was sold out.

Got the slightly smaller version of this to breathe new life into my 65" Panasonic Viera vt60 plasma TV that is going on 8 years old. It succeeded beyond my expectations. This isn't "bias lighting," that simply brightens up the area behind your TV. You can buy those strips for $10 or so. This is a whole different animal.

You will need a Hue sync box in addition to this light strip to get the full effect. Essentially, you plug your source HDMI cables into the sync box and then connect the sync box to your tv via HDMI. The sync box figures out what colors are being displayed on the TV and sends the signal to the light strip to tell it what color to shine behind the tv. The effect is really immersive. But also expensive. It was another $200-$225 for the sync box, so all in you're looking about $400-$450 to get the effect. They have different sized light strips for 55/65/75 inch TVs, with the larger sizes costing slightly more.

Some will say it's not worth it, and some will. Watch a few YouTube videos to see if it's something you think you might enjoy.
