You can, but if you want the colors to sync with the TV youll need a Hue Sync Box

You can do one of two things. You can set it to a static color within the philips hue app or you can buy the expensive (and outdated) Hue Sync box and allow it to sync to whatever content is on the screen or to music.

There was an updated model of the Sync box that labeled it as "8k" earlier in the year, but it has never shown up. This update would enable HDMI 2.1 features. Personally, I have the max (10) in sync in my media room. I love it, but my wife hates it and it ends up being a novelty. The 2 bars that I use can be seen in this video: https://youtu.be/DUiIPwTAL7Q. They are the ones on top of the subwoofers.

These work with the hue sync app on the PC. I use them for my battle station.

I used three hue color bulbs behind my PC monitor and when playing The Division 2 and there was fire on the screen, the lights would emulate the flickering and color of the fire which i found to really increase immersion

I bought these about two years ago, and bought the sync box. LOVE IT for my TV.

I got a $7 light bar from Walmart and installed it under my work desk for mutli color accent lighting. I use a remote and works fine. I am very not inclined to spend $120 for 3 lights bars even though these are smart and have more variety of colors.

I saw the recessed lighting deal from Philips. I think that's even expensive. I don't need multi color for my ceiling. It would make the house look too gaudy if I go outside of daylight 5K or 6K or 3K intensity. That's something I can live with because they are natural. But anything other than that, for example violet or blue or green or other colors for recessed ceiling light for a normal house is too gaudy. Anyways I still think that's expensive and would rather go with a mono color light and maybe buy a smart switch to turn it on or off.

With respect to the Hue box for synchronization I personally do not care. People here would. So it's personal opinion.

For a 55in+, I think 3 is the sweet spot to have enough bias lighting that's not too weak for the screen images

These Hue lights are generally expensive but you justify the price because of the ecosystem. I only buy on sale and got 1 for around $70 and then (recently) 2 for $99. This current deal is an awesome sale that probably put them right at how much they should cost each

As for the product, it works great. Especially in unison with more of them 😢

Needs better refresh rate support to match gaming but good for TV and movies.

Never noticed an issue paired with my 144hz monitor. Never had any lag or delay

Definitely not true. These just project a single color from an average color in the general area of the screen. Even at 240hz, the average color of a screen region isn't changing at a rate your eye will detect.
Your FPS game character will still turn around and shoot the guy behind you in the same 0.3 seconds whether you're running 60FPS or more. It's the backgrounds mostly that get reflected in these lights and the backgrounds don't change more than a few times per second anyway.

Yes! I have 5 around my 130" projector screen (upper and lower sides and bottom). They well-reflect the sky and ground in games and shows and give an enormous spatial sense.

If you do this, you have to have a screen that's at least ~2" thick (yes, thick) so that the focused lights have room to project onto the wall without splashing their light onto the screen itself and diluting the power of your projection (Hue lights have to be BEHIND the front projection space).

I wish they made a gradient strip for projector screens but 75" seems to be max size. If anybody knows a way to hook 3 of them together, let me know!

Bought. Will be trying it with my PC. Hopefully, it works for both movies and games.

Keep in mind the Sync box ONLY works with HDMI passthrough. It will not sync if you use any Netflix/Hulu/Max/ect apps on the TV. We had to buy an Apple TV just to get the Sync box to work.
