I assume that you have wired the whole thing as follows: TV box (Apple TV, Sunrise, Swisscom box or similar) - Hue Sync Box - TV HDMI in? (Because the signal has to come from a TV box, Playstation etc., it doesn't work with TV only)
If so, try a different HDMI output, I'm not sure anymore, but I meant only 2 and 4 work properly. And I also had to change my HDMI cables; I used 8K-capable ones straight away and it's worked perfectly since then.
I have connected it to the Philips Hue Bridge via the Samsung TV app. But it must be a newer Samsung model. Google knows all about it 😊The Philips APP is chargeable ~ CHF 150. Expensive, but still a cool thing!
Hy I have exactly the same constellation. I have this wall mount
Vogels TVM 5855 and it works very well, the distance to the wall is pretty perfect for me, no better than the Philips TV. Best regards and have fun
For what purpose?
I don't think it's possible to connect several of them together and anyway, you can only choose one colour at a time. Only when it is synchronised with music or a video does it display several colours. It is also not possible to synchronise two of them together, for example if you have a huge TV to surround with Lightstrip.
In addition to this product, you need
1x Philips Hue Bridge Philips Hue Bridge
1x Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box
The Sync Box allows you to connect all your devices (TV box, chrome cast, PSx, XBox) and to synchronize the light with the Play Gradient Lightstrip. Be careful, you have to choose the Lightstrip according to the size of your TV.
I have the 82 inch. If you place the strip 10 cm back from the edge, you are already missing 20 cm on each side. That is already very borderline. Hue is just stingy when it comes to the material. It's not enough for your TV. I am sure of that.
You cannot configure the quotient in the software. But it's not that important because the light is like glowing puddles on your wall. My Gradient Lightstrip is behind 3x 28" monitors (ratio = 16:3) and in videogames it's really good.
This lightstrip is 216.50 cm long, so you have to measure if it fits behind your screen.
Yes it works. Tested today with my sony oled with android 9.0 & gradient 65" & hue essential. However not possible with read-only content like netflix & disney + e.g.
Hello,
This product does not synchronise at all, with the content of my Samsung TV, with the Philips Hue Sync App, the gradient 55 light strip remains clear over almost the entire strip while the ends are in colour, the app indicates that it is synchronised with the strip, if I stop it I can control it and give it the colours I want, so it does not seem faulty to me, but rather a problem with the link between the app and the strip. If I stop it, I can control the strip and give it the colour I want, so it doesn't seem faulty to me, but rather a problem with the link between the app and the strip.
Here is also the model of my recently purchased TV set
Samsung TV Neo QLED 8K 2023 55QN700C Smart TV
Thank you all for your help
I have been using the HUE Lightstrip 75" for some time. Unfortunately, the plastic brackets on the corners don't hold on my Samsung TV and I have to glue the corners on again and again. I have already cleaned the surface several times with alcohol and organised new 3M glue but it keeps coming loose. Is there a clever solution with glue? The back of the TV is a bit rough but the double-sided tape should still hold? I have also tried carpet tape, but it still comes off over time due to the weight of the LED strip.
I have also installed the Lightstrip on my LG 55". They shine on the wall at a 45° angle and project about 20 cm above the screen, thus extending the TV picture on the wall. They are not flat LEDs and you have to think of it as a round piece of wood cut in half twice, i.e. 1/4. The cross-section looks like a quarter of a piece of pizza. The side of your leg is attached to the back of the TV and the other side looks down on the floor, so there is a 45° beam angle to the wall and also towards the ceiling. The light is always pleasant, looks great and has no delay. The difference to a Philips TV with built-in LEDs is that seven LEDs are always controlled with one colour and not every single LED can reproduce a different colour. However, with over 100 LEDs, this is not annoying.
The HUE gradient is not dependent on the TV. The HUE sync box is required. All players are connected to the syncbox via HDMI and the syncbox is connected to the TV via HDMI OUT. The syncbox then sends the picture information to the Gradient which reproduces the colours to match the picture. Programmes that are watched directly on the TV (e.g. Smart TV Apps such as Netflix Disney + etc.) are not recognised because they do not reach the syncbox via HDMI. I hope it's not written in too complicated a way 😅
The Lightstrip 55" is intended for 55-60" and has a length of 216.5 cm. So, if you attach the light strip according to the instructions at a distance of 5 to 8 cm from the edge of the cabinet, it will open exactly at the bottom left and right at both ends of the 55". I briefly compared the dimensions and calculated the difference, and I would say that this light strip is too long on the 47". But maybe measuring it yourself will show a different picture. However, you should bear in mind that the light strip should not be attached too close to the edge of the cabinet because the light effect could cause too direct a glare.
