The short version

The Play Gradient Strip Light Pro is Philips Hue's current TV backlight strip, replacing the older Play Gradient Lightstrip that Hue's US store now lists as no longer available. OmniGlow technology blends colors along the strip for a smooth wall wash, Chromasync matches colors across Hue lights, and the strip can be cut to size. It syncs through the Hue Sync TV app, Hue screen sync or an HDMI sync box, so buyers need other Hue products to get full screen syncing.

Pros

  • OmniGlow technology produces a smooth gradient wall wash
  • Chromasync matches colors across Hue lights
  • Can be cut to size and mounts with included brackets
  • Works with the Hue Sync TV app, Hue screen sync or an HDMI sync box

Cons

  • Full screen sync depends on additional Hue hardware or apps
  • Sized for 65-inch screens; other TV sizes need a different model

Best for

  • TVs around 65 inches
  • Existing Hue users adding screen-synced lighting
