It is decent price IMAO.
All Gradient PC strip are on sale:
Note: You need a Hue Bridge to make it work, but you don't need to buy a sync box. The PC come with a free sync app.
It’s still cheaper because you don’t need to spend $400 on a sync box for the TV; the PC comes with a free desktop app.
You don't need a hue bridge, you can use other zigbee coordinators with it. These will work with Zigbee2MQTT and you can use them in "HOME ASSISTANT" that way without the bridge - (add childish pelvic thrust animation courtesy of P.Hibbert here).
Can you add it to your TV?
It wouldn't work for light sync, that's what the PC app is doing. Govee has some LED strip products that have a sensor that mounts above the TV to control the backlight.
Yea like @Hank Scorpion said, it won’t work for light sync unless you buy the sync box which is insanely overpriced. However, some Samsung TVs have a native app for it which should work, but is also insanely overpriced.
Cheaper at officeworks.
For example:
24-27" $79. In store only.

These prices are clearance items; you won't find them on the product website or in stores.
Yup. Highly limited availability, but available in the stores cited on the stock checker. Bought some last week.
They also have the 32-34" for $79 if you can find them.
Too bad.. I have the Samsung 49 inch OLED monitor, and Corsair xeneon Flex Oled 45inch.
Non seems will fit..
Does anyone know the actual strip length of these? Wanting to use this as an ambient light for something but not sure where the lengths are listed
They’re listed on the Hue website if you can find the same SKU.
32-34 is 1.16m
I'd like to use these in a display cabinet but they'd cost as much as the cabinet itself! They are way overpriced. Should be half this sale price. It's just a strip of LEDs and basic power supply after all
It’s not the LED that is expensive, it’s the controller. If you look at smart LED light strip controllers, they can cost quite a lot (at least $30 on Aliexpress)
Much more if wanting Zigbee, Hue integration, individual lighting scenes
Controller and power supply would be an extra 10-20
I've been eyeing the shorter one for my 27" LG Ultragear monitor (but it has a ring on the back that I think would make it difficult to mount). Has anyone managed to make the light strip work with it?
Does anyone know how these look on a triple monitor? If playing a game on just the middle screen, does it project the game all the way to the side lights?
What's the point of this? I don't have a wall at the back of my monitor so all the light I'm going to get is just from the reflection on my desk
I was going to ask if these would work on a TV, but these don't seem long enough to line the back of my 65"
Can you combine them? 3x27 pack for $199 …cheaper and long enough for a 65inch tv?
From what I can tell, the answer is yes https://www.philips-hue.com/en-au/p/lightstrips-play-gradien…
Length = 73.8 inch
edit: Maybe..kinda..sort of… the 65inch gradient is 100inches long.
USB powered led light strips on Aliexpress for less than $20 for 5 metres. Not Philips Hue or gradient of course. But if you just want a single colour, they are great.
What is the difference between hue gradient and normal hue light strip?
Gradient strips can do several colours at once and transition between them, it’s hard to explain how cool this is in practice if you haven’t seen them
I was a big “why would you bother with this” and now my entire house is hue.
Thanks!
anyone have a recommendation for LED channels with diffuser to use on these strips? been looking for awhile.
They come with their own diffuser built in + mounting clips for the back of the TV / Monitor etc
But my gradient strips in the kitchen are in I believe standard 16mm channels routed into the underside of the cabinets
Actually worth it at this price, however Phillips are being very slow to deal with my RMA on a faulty LED with my one
+1. I purchased inexpensive ones from Amazon and AliExpress, but they were like garage compared to the Philips ones. Philips has the best syncing app and ecosystem by far.
Damn. I bought one like two months ago for $200 or so.
This was a one day sale?
Yeah I was looking at getting it today or tomorrow thinking it would be more than just a day…
Went in today and saw the sale was already finished and the full price has increased.
It is 2weeks sale I think
200+ for those without hue bridge
