Your video recently popped up in the recommendations and just wow. Watched your video and scrolled down and was flabbergasted when I saw 3k subs. The quality of your videos are on par if not better then people with millions of subs. Its nice seeing small youtubers with great quality vids compared to just a couple years ago.

Cool video! Thanks for the info and uses!!

Thanks for the video! It was very well done 👍

well you've sold me on these lights! ordering some now! just what i need after buying one of those LED stripe corner lights from amazon. was totally awful so i'm sending it back!

Great video. Good luck on the channel

Subbed brother. Great video and great video quality. I’m currently buying gear to start seriously reviewing product, and I hope to one day achieve as clean a video presence as you have. Well done bro.

Noticed the best selling book sitting on your desk. Same here! Good to see more that share the same faith on here! Great quality video!

Thank you for the review ! :D

Subscribed, I can't believe you have few subs bit either you are heading on the right path!! Wayyyy better than bigger channels good job! I gotta ask who plays that violin soundtrack towards the end of video @ 545 I believe?

Excellent job! Nice video! Btw, what’s the song you used in the end?

Hey dude great videos, what monitor are you using?

Did you need to use the Synch Box to get the TV to synch with what was showing on the TV or were you able to do that simply with the contents of the box you showed? Also, can those mounts screwed into the center of the Play Bar to allow a horizontal orientation for the Play Bar?

I’ve found none of the reviews for the light bars state that to actually get the app to work as in change the colours on the bars you also need a bridge if you don’t already have one

Great vlog... altho were still a little confused.. we have an ambient tv & have ordered a hue hub with this play bars... will they change lighting to what we're are watching on the tv? Or will we have to purchase temhe hdmi sync box as well...

Great demo! Gee now I want to buy one. :O

One thing i just notice, would it be cleaner if their was a hole in the stand so the wire goes straight through it to the back. Now it curls of to the side, its a small detail but it would look much nicer i guess.

Super cool! When I grow up I want to be Roger Seng. But how long have I been saying that now? Alas, it will never come true...

Great video ! Hope you get more views. Do you find that by mounting the two bars behind your computer screen, they light they provide is bright enough?

Great video 👍🏻

Hmm was there a lag between the color change. Hard to see when you edit your video when the screen changed color and the lights suppose to change color aswell. Should have had one continues recording...

16 million colors is literally just a marketing spin to say "this is RGB". 255 red values x 255 green values x 255 blue values = 16.6 million technically "unique" colors. But try telling me you see a difference between RGB(255,255,255) and RGB(255,255,254). It's still white. Still a neat product, just don't expect 16 million colors.

wow this is what i want to buy lights!! from south korea!!!

love your grade on this video bro

Buy the 3rd light to mount it behind and at the top. Makes videos pop even more If ya want to go all out since like 6-10 in one room for videos lol Really different experience

Good set. Good depth of field. Excellent intro clip. Good visuals. But you need an audio upgrade my friend. Try a boom mic. There are decent versatile options out there for not too much money.

Nice informative video.. two questions: 1. Do you need the ”hue bridge” to control the light bars 2. Do you think the two light bars can be used towards a Wall behind a 55” tv or do you recommend the hue lighting strip for a tv? Thanks in advance. Keep up with the good work! :)

No. You can sync when watching directly on a PC / Mac using the Hue Sync app (you could plug this into your TV).

What the video title suggests, are they worth the hype?

Why sync it to show us a video demonstration then only pick videos that have an overwhelming white? This did nothing to show me how good the sync feature is...

I was looking at these or something similar,I only wanted some ambient lighting , BUT seems everyone forgets you CAN'T just buy the play bars you HAVE to buy the bridge/ smart box to get them to work ,so while you might get two lights for £110 you have to spend more than that again just to get some lighting behind your TV. While Philips are good ALL these smart things are a massive rip off. There's like a %150 mark up so some Dutch friend I know told me !!!

You didn't mention it needs the hub :|

like the features, setup was difficult for some of my devices (August Door lock, kzread.infoUgkxhB5YOMNj04GuoAosExygP4cH-dKeb4aB Bose speaker)... but all switches and outlets (5), thermostat, tankless water heater. Unfortunately all I can do is turn on/off Bose. It doesn't support volume or changing channels, but I believe that is due to the particular speaker I have.... Worth getting if you already have other devices to use it with... I don't sit around and ask Alexa questions much so that doesn't really matter to me....

Click here : 1:45 Thank me later 👍 Barring the intro great introductory video, with a nice aesthetic. Couple of points : * 16 million colours is industry standard, common, and years old. It's marketing blurb for the uninformed. * If you can control brightness, you can control darkness 😉 * This is basically an RGBW strip and controller in a plastic box. It's cool, but hideously overpriced. The mounting options though are a great touch. * A $20 ZigBee controller, a 5m RGBW strip, and some nice aluminium extrusion would make a nice alternative, for a fraction of the price (think 20 times as many units for the same cost). This would make a very flexible and interesting application, not to mention a fun little project. Full Hue app integration too. Anyway, thanks for the vid man. 👍
