Hi there, I've got a 70" TV on my wall at the moment with the old Philips hue light strips behind it however one of the strips the lights in one part keep going off and they're also held on by some ties which gently stick to the back of the TV (I didn't want to stick the whole adhesive on the strips to my TV as I heard they're hard to remove), however I really like the brackets that come with this to hold the strips with, it's very cool. But I wanted to ask, as I have two strips at the moment, one goes round the top and the other goes round the bottom, bare in mind my TV is mounted on my wall like your custom demo part but with having no strip across the bottom, does it look odd there without no light or not? Do you recommend me only having the one strip like yours? (Maybe top and bottom strips I shouldn't have been doing?), again its a 70" TV which is why I thought I needed a strip on the top and the bottom 😊 Thank you so much for being so kind to reply 😊🙏🏼

@The90sTunnel - you can totally do what you’re saying with using two light strips, both one at the top one at the bottom, but another thing that you could do is use the light bars instead at the bottom that’s another way that people do it. I personally haven’t had any issue with the bottom just being empty simply because my sound bars there right underneath my TV and for me I don’t know it just hasn’t bothered me.

I was hoping you could help answer question for me. I have a 5.1.4 surround system. Through a marantz 6012 receiver. Which is 9.2 channels. I have my Sony A9G plugged into the receiver and everything else into the receiver. Including an Xbox of PlayStation and a Blu-ray player. And then I have streaming capability on my TV also. I was hoping you could help me on how to hook the sync box up since I'm using a receiver. Is there a way to integrate it in. So everything that I play through my receiver will sync with the sync box and the lights. I'm really hoping you can help me with this or anyone else that maybe reads this. Also what suggestions do you have for extra lights besides the 75-in gradient strip since it doesn't cover underneath the TV only around.?

@Jason Bovey - Hey thanks for writing in, in your setup what’s best is keep everything hooked into the receiver. Then from the out port of receiver take an hdmi and connect it to one of the inputs on the box. Then from out port of box take a cable to the TV. That should work as I’ve helped a few people that have setups like yours. Also for filling in the empty space you could go with the hue play bars...they come in a set of two and that should be more than enough. Also if you’d like you can email me at qizafar1@gmail.com and I can help guide you through the setup. Hope this helps you out and thank you so much for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊

Would you say this was an upgrade to your viewing experience while gaming or movie watch now that the novelty has worn out, if the product were to stop working, would you (granted finances weren't an issue) go buy it again, or would you comfortably resort back to nothing lighting up your wall and not feel like you're missing out as if it's a downgrade? Because where I live this light fixture is quite expensive but I do love the Philip's range, and I don't own a sync box so I'll need to get both products but I'm guessing if it's worthwhile it's worthwhile.

@@JayD449 - You’re welcome so in order to add the Philips sync box to your setup you’ll have to place it between the receiver and TV. So the cable that you’ve got going to the TV will just go into one of the in ports on the sync box and then from the out port of the box just run a cable to the TV. You’ll also need to enable the arc bypass through the hue sync app so you don’t lose sound. Which denon receiver do you have?

Really nice video, but I have a few doubts maybe you can clarify: 1) You mention that you need the huesync box, but does it also work with the huesync application for Windows? (I hope it does, because right now I use it with my TV and monitor - with "standard" hue bulbs though, not with this gradient lightstrip - plus different computers, HTPC... and this lightstrip would not be an option if I had to buy a huesync box for each screen/computer in the house). 2) Could you provide the power supply specifications regarding the output part? (voltage, amperage, polarity of the connector, diameter of the connector). I really hope it is 5V (and ~2A max), so I can use the TV as its power supply via the USB (like I already do with the Chromecast in one of the "dumbTV" in the house and the philips bridge with the one of router's USB). Right now all the power sockets next to my main TV are already in use, and using a power-splitter is not an option because the TV is wall-mounted, and adding a power-splitter would make the TV hit against it. Thank you very much.

@@QasimZafar Thanks a lot. Regarding the hue sync app, just in case and for avoiding misunderstandings, I am NOT referring to the Android/iOS app. I am talking about the one for Windows/Mac. The two applications (mobile/computer) have the same name (a huge mistake from Philips imho), but while the mobile app is used for controlling the hue sync box, the computer application is used to transform the computer itself into a huesyncbox; which, unfortunately, cannot be controlled at all other than with the mouse/keyboard (plus the fact that this "computer-syncbox" can only be used as syncbox with the content played from the very same computer and not from external DVD/BR/console HDMI devices). The good side is that it is completely free, so if you have computers with Windows/Mac for watching movies/series and playing games (like I have), you don't need the syncbox... at least not with the "normal" bulbs. My doubt was if the computer application also worked as a "virtual" syncbox with the gradient strip as it does with the bulbs, but according to this link it works: www.reddit.com/r/Hue/comments/pqolpe/sync_multipl_ecolors_with_new_hue_gradient/ Regarding my second point, according to what I have found in google, the output of the gradient-strip's power supply is 24V 0.83A (= ~20W), which would spoil my plan about using the TV's USB for powering the strip (which only delivers 5V 2A = 10W) Nevertheless, if you could confirm the two points (especially the second, which I found in a non-very trustful web) - or correct the wrong one(s) - it would be great🥳.

If you want to sync lights then the only way I recommend is with the box and lightstrip. I started with the sync box and just the TV lightstrip and that was great, then eventually I started adding on more products as time passed. You could go with the standard lightstrip instead of the gradient one to save some money. Hope this helps!

@Atunzuman - Certain content that it’s hdr10 that won’t be able to sync but I’ve been watching stuff from Disney plus to content on Netflix and I’ve been just fine. I used a firestick before and now have a chromecast on one tv and an Apple TV on another and both work great. So for your setup you could keep the soundbar connected directly to the arc port on the TV and plug in the Roku to the box and you should be good. If you have any issues with Dolby vision playback then inside the hue sync app...go to settings, then advanced settings and then enable “enhanced Dolby vision compatibility” and it’ll work just fine. Hope this helps and do let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.

@@QasimZafar Thanks for the reply! I think I saw somewhere that they added support for HDR10 and rather it's Dolby Vision that isn't supported. Also when you say its not supported do you mean that the sync box won't transmit the HDR10 visuals to the TV, or just that the lights will not support the color chasing sync in that case? Also I do know that this is expensive given all the other options. What is your opinion on the camera operated color sync option such as Goove's product? It would be cool if you could do a review / comparison on that. I ask because it's $80 all in as opposed to $500 all in. Thanks for the quick and detailed reply bro!

@Atunzuman - Of course I do my best to get back to everyone especially people that need help with setup etc 😊. Yeah with HDR 10 the screen usually will just go black because the box is just not compatible. I personally don’t like the camera option it just doesn’t work as well as the sync box option. To be honest it’s worth paying the extra price because not only do you get three years of guarantee on the products but the app, the setup and everything just works well together. For example I got cheaper sengled bulbs to try in my home, they’re also rgb and include a hub, 4 bulbs and hub were $64.99 but guess what the setup took forever because the app wouldn’t find the bulbs and now almost every single day when I try to change the colors in my room they’re in one or more of the bulbs is always unavailable. With Philips hue you pay the price but you’ll get a much better product and support overall. It’s better to just wait and buy Philips hue instead. I’ve got a few videos upcoming in bulb comparisons and smart homing in general and I’ll really get into the details there. My goal is always to guide people the best possible and I always take my time with products so I can see how they’ll react over the course of time. Because I could make a quick video showing how great a cheaper alternative is but then the viewers miss out on all the nitty gritty details and frustrations that come up in the coming days. Hope this helps bro 😊

@Qasim Zafar. Great review totally enjoyed watching this. I have 2 questions I'm hoping you might be able to help are give guidance as every set up will be somewhat different. I have the Gradient light strip plus I decided to get the Play bars also. I got the sync box and have an existing bridge. So I'm all setup but her's my 2 questions. What in your opinion is the best distance to keep your TV from the wall. (TV is 55 inch OLED C1) but on a TV stand ? 2nd question that I've looked all over KZbin and can't find a video covering this. When I connect the strips and light bars I want everything to go behind my TV no bars to the side are. So when I'm setting this up is let's just say I have colors on the strips Blue and Red it can be any different colors 3 different colors on the strips will I get the same colors on my bar's as I don't want the whole thing to go completely crazy on me. I'M hoping you will be able to give even a starting point. The fact the TV is not walk mounted gives me greater flexibility. Again thank you, great information and great content your channel is putting out, IE your videos are of a high stendard

@Pat Falvey - First of all thank you so much for the feedback I really appreciate it. So my TV is about 4 inches away from the wall but in your case since it’s not wall mounted you’ll have more of a distance which honestly won’t do any harm. As far as the lights setup id say mount the strip just like I’ve done and then you can place two bars at the bottom to fill the dark area. When you go about syncing content the light strip will automatically display multiple colors and the play bars will be reflecting the colors on the lower portion of the TV. Make sure when you setup that all the positions of the lights are accurate in the app so that it can reflect accurately when syncing. I hope this helps in giving you the info you need, if you have any other questions feel free to reach out. Thanks again for the feedback I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.

Just like the question I asked I'm pretty sure others who watch reviews in order to help us make decisions on if a item (product) will work in our situations if you went and taught about people who wouldn't have a set up that you normally would only show in your review, the more information potential people will come and subscribe to your channel. As I said I had wached lots of different reviews on backlighting for TVs.

@QasimZafar
@QasimZafar 3 жыл бұрын
@Niyas Abdul - Hi so the bridge is like the brain for Philips hue lights. It’s what connects everything and identifies each light so that you can organize them into rooms and control them. The HDMI sync box itself is connected in between a streaming device like fire stick or Apple TV, or you could use it for something like a Xbox. When these are connected through the you can sync lights as the box reads the content and then passes that onto the lights so they react accordingly with the colors of the content on the TV. Hope this helps and do let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching I really appreciate it 🙏🏽😊.
