Philips HueWhite and Color Ambiance Gradient PC LED Lightstrip for 24'' to 27'' Monitors Requires Hue Hub, Compatible with Alexa, HomeKit, and Google Assistant, Black (578294)

I had one of the older hue light strips someone gave me to, but decided to get this to put behind my music stuff on my desk (though behind a monitor would work great if the monitor is up towards a wall so the light can really reflect, my monitor isn’t close enough so it’d be a little dull). The older strip I have lines the underside of my desk, and is cool, but can’t do any gradients, so this is pretty slick. A bit pricey considering the length but you can customize it with 3 different colors (you can select 3 on the color wheel, but the gradient effect can make it seem like more, as it fills in the gaps between what you select, so if you have red and blue selected on one end, various violets and purples fill in between). You can also move around the distance between each of the 3 selected colors to get some really cool patterns; if you’ve ever messed with gradient colors on text in like a photo editor or something, same idea. It’s decently bright, and I think plenty bendy though I didn’t use the included shaper things, to bend around a monitor, but they seem like they’d work fine. All in all, I am happy with the results! The only real drawback I think is price compared to the length you get, but, hue stuff has been super reliable for me over the years so I’ve decided to stick with them and haven’t yet had a bad experience.

This does exactly what you expected it to do, and works perfectly. I've upgraded from some old mad cats cyborg lights I've used since 2008 or so. I'd agree with what others say about the adhesive strips that come with it, as it will eventually fail. I already had some 3m tape product that worked better so used that. Software is excellent.

I purchased this for new PC/monitor build. I've attached the Hue to my Dell Alienware 34" QD-OLED AW3423DW Monitor. The monitor is fantastic, as well. However, the Hue is incredibly bright. I couldn't believe how bright this thing actually got. Works well playing most games and watching most movies/shows. You can set how bright you want it be, if you want it be used as a static light or whether you want it for ambiance lighting. I generally use it for ambiance light when playing games. Some games are better than others when it comes to trying to replicate the colors, whites seem to come out a bit blue/greenish. However, darker games or very vividly color games it works great with. It's a bit pricey, but between the reaction time and the quality of the LED strip I've been very happy with the product. Would definitely recommend. The only reason I can't give it 5 stars as I feel the price is a bit high. Otherwise, product works great and have been very happy with it.

My entire house is lighted by hues. I have the two sync boxes. One on my home theater and i bought this for my gaming tv which is a 42 inch LG C2 OLED.I do enjoy these lights and find it annoying to play without them on and synced to the PS5. I had to buy another device to enable 4k/120hz to use on my PS5.I had another non hue branded LED strip around prior and those had a more saturated colored. Bright and vibrant. And they were more accurate in color as each LED were able to change color to match the screen. The hues only have 6-7 zones of LEDs. On top of that, the hues only wrap around the top and both sides. The bottom is blank so I bought a pair of Hue play bars for the bottom.Set up is probably the easiest of any back lighting system as they provide a few plastic clamps stick on to the back of your monitor. Then you just clip on the LED strips and plug in the power.Build quality to these LED strips is fantastic. It wont break on you when installing.I deducted one star due to the price and cost to run this system. And removed another star mainly for the LED zones.I have no regrets in this purchase and would buy again. Also, newer LG and Samsung TVs allow you to purchase the sync box app instead of buying the sync box for a few hundred dollars.

Great product.

First off great product and name brand. This review is regarding the clips that come with it for mounting. If you don’t read anything else I type here, the ABSOLUTELY most important detail you do NOT get in the tutorial instructions, is ORIENTATION OF THE POWER CONTROLLER MATTERS!! Trust me it will save you a lot of headache and popping the adhesive back off, because the rope does not fit properly if you place it on the other side. The box needs to be placed somewhere on the right side of the monitor if facing the rear of it. Secondly, just because it comes with like 5 clips (two are 90° bends), you most likely will not need or even want to use them all. I didn’t use a 90 on the monitor shown in the pic. I used one on the other monitor (mistakes were made, cursing and removing clips etc) but I got it looking good. Everyone’s situation will differ depending on your lighting needs. Also, I have dual 32” and this cord is basically perfect. It states 24 through 27” monitors, but you can safely ignore that. Best of luck my friends.

Installation was just ok had to reference YouTube but it was a breeze after reviewing a video on YouTube. Absolutely love the variety of colors. Guards and adhesive included works wonderfully, connectivity without Hue Bridge works great. Highly recommended for home office with low lighting or bedroom corner home office setup.
