I recall a deal around the same time I think for a pack for $100 at Best Buy with a $50 GC. I bought two packs

I'm waiting for Philips to release a damn hue sync that is hdmi 2.1 for all the latest specs

I don't have a time machine, but almost two years ago exactly I bought this set from Costco for $100 after their discount. Was marked as $150 normal price then. Now 2 years later, for the same product, it is saying these are $170 normal price and $130 after the discount. meh

No (imo) but they're much cheaper. Here's a video that shows both on screen at the same time.

Match this up with the deal on the refurb sync box and for $300 you got yourself a TV setup

Are these bars better than the strips for a TV setup?

I wish these comparison videos would use real world, everyday TV shows and movies rather than cramming as much multi color as they can find moving all at once in random directions. I get that they want to show off how much capacity it has, but it doesn't really show someone what to expect from them in normal use.

Yep, they were. Welcome to inflation, Era, where everything goes up, including working two or three jobs to make a living 😆

This along with gradient strips are specifically the type of thing the app was put on the tv for.

From the manufacturer website: "The Philips Hue Sync TV app is available on 2022 and newer Samsung QLED TVs in the Q60 or higher range (support for Q700 coming soon)."

If you want the complete suite of smart lighting features — such as controlling your lights away from home, surround lighting, automations, and more — you'll need a Bridge.

Yes, I'm aware of what the app is available on. The app has been working great for me so far. The reason I asked is I wasn't sure if these needed to plug in for a signal or if they work as stand alone hue lights. Sorry, for the confusion.

I've had these lights, bought a few years ago as someone else mentioned from BB, $100 plus $50 gift card... Got 2 sets so 4 lights. Recently I finally got the actual play box when was on sale for $100 and picked up the hue TV LED strip when on sale for BF on Amazon... I must say all together it's an amazing setup to watch movies on. However it's quite expensive all in. I'll also say, this deal of all 3 lights with just 1 adapter is not ideal if you need to put the lights in different areas... And they use proprietary plugs so...

I'll invest in Hue once they get rid of that absurdly priced sync box. I'm aware of the PC app , but that doesnt help with TV

There are many workarounds available.


I.e.
1. Stream your PC to your TV and use the provider's app
2. Connect your PC directly to your TV and use it that way
3. Use Remote Play for consoles
