My point....if you are considering this for TV backlighting with Sync.....get the gradient strip. The Play Bars do work well though in addition to the Strip.
if you want the Play Bars.....this is a great price.

They look better than typical LED panel...could mount 2 of them above/next to my monitor, maybe use the 3rd as a hair light (or even to add a subtle color wash to the background).
Then I could also just do something like say "Hey google, turn on webcam scene" rather than my current process of going around and turning on multiple switches whenever I take a video call.
My Entertainment Area was set up with 10 lights, but I've also tried it with fewer (4-6) and still found it to be unusable due to the lag (something happens and then you wait 1 second for the lights to change).
This is with a hardwired Hue switch, the HDMI Sync hub and all Hue-branded bulbs in a small 2 bedroom apartment with the router/hub placed around the middle of it.
I've heard that using few (total) lights, or putting some on a dedicated 2nd Hue switch may help improve it.. but if you've already spent the high prices on everything so far, that's another (expensive) hassle to deal with.
If you don't currently use hue lights everywhere in your home, and ONLY want to use it for an entertainment/sync set up, it will be an expensive use but probably work better than if you already use hue lights in different rooms other than the entertainment area.

But in my experience Hues have been more reliable and look nicer than most other smart lights I've tried.
