We've always loved the concept of the Philips Ambilight system, and this effectively takes that idea and allows you to use enjoy it on other sets like Samsung, LG, Sony, or Panasonic.From what we've seen in our brief demo so far, the experience is certain...

Easy setup, Nice power adapter design, Bright, vivid lighting, Versatile and effective even when not being used as directed
Initial update can take a while, Out-of-the-box mounting options are rather limited, No easy way program custom displays, Additional lighting effects are behind a $80 paywal
Hue Light Play Bars are a pretty slick package, making it easy to add a splash of color and dynamic lighting to just about any given area. These lights are powerful enough to still be seen vividly even while competing with streaming lights on a bright day...
Abstract: When setting up a lighting system for my computer, my only solution was using a light strip attached to the back of my desk. That's a good option, especially when you have no more space on your desktop, however, we have another choice with the Philips Hue...

This was quite an easy one, bringing us to our conclusion here quickly. In the end, we had a lot of fun running around and using them in various situations. They got a lot of play around a large TV while making use of the new Philips Sync Box, and then it...
Abstract: Disclaimer: Yes, we bought into the Hue ecosystem, meaning that just like Lego we want to have all the bits and pieces that Philips/Signify/Hue bring to the market.In every colour. In every shape.Today we look at the PLAY component. 16 million colours in...
Easy setup, Integrates with the comprehensive Philips Hue ecosystem, Attractive bias lighting for your TV, Syncs with your computer monitor
Expensive, Requires $60 Hue Bridge, TV syncing is a cumbersome process
The Philips Hue Play kit makes for a nifty, if expensive, way to add bias lighting to your TV or PC monitor. Easy to set up and ready to integrate with your other Philips Hue smart lights, the Hue Play's attractive bias lighting can help improve your TV's...
Abstract: If you want to improve the contrast of your TV without ponying up for a brand-new set, bias lighting makes for an easy and relatively inexpensive way to do it. Bias, in this context, means that light is projected at an angle to your TV; more specifically...
Mostly well designed, with versatile installation options. Also nice looking, even if they're supposed to stay out of the way, Attractive and bright lighting with surprisingly little lag when synced with music, video, or games, Easy to set up and get goin
No native TV or console support, Easily confused by multi-display setups, requiring copious app restarts. Music syncing often fails, $130 (£120) for two lights and no bridge is a lot of money, especially when something similar can be achieved with cheaper
Maybe. The Hue Play by itself is a great piece of hardware, but the main attraction is Hue Sync, and there's a way to go for that to truly impress. Native TV or console support is a must for those wanting to easily use Hue Play with a big screen, and bugs...
Hue Play is a solid and unique addition to Signify's growing stable of Hue light fixtures, offering three diverse placement styles, colorful lighting recipes, bright lighting, and a sleek body that will fit in most entertainment center areas without much...

Performance, Impact, Brightness, Ease of setup
Pricey for the full solution
It is difficult to say that anyone actually needs this in this life, but there'll be plenty that wants it. I first saw the concept many years ago with a Kickstarter project that I invested in and at the time it suffered many limitations that made it wasn'...
