Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance Gradient PC LED Lightstrip for 24" to 27" Monitors, Requires Hue Hub, Compatible with Alexa, HomeKit, and Google Assistant, Black

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.

Best quality!

Super

The Philips Hue Gradient PC LED Lightstrip has been a fantastic addition to my setup. The lights sync perfectly with my 27-inch monitor, and the length is ideal for full coverage, giving my set up a polished and immersive look. The brightness is excellent, and the colors are vibrant, creating a stunning ambiance that really enhances my workspace. Connectivity has been reliable as long as you have a stable internet connection, and I haven’t experienced any flickering. Everything functions smoothly, making it a great option for high-quality monitor lighting. It’s worth noting that this lightstrip is designed more for flat monitors, but I’ve been using it with a curved monitor without any major issues. While it might not fit as seamlessly as on a flat screen, it still works well and delivers the same impressive results. However, if you want to sync these lights with your monitor or control them through the app, you’ll need both the Philips Hue Bridge and the Philips Hue Sync Box. Once you have those, setup is straightforward, and the system runs flawlessly with plenty of customization options. The only reason I’m giving this 4 stars instead of 5 is because I accidentally broke one of the plugs after using it for a while, which was entirely my fault. Despite this, the light-strip has exceeded my expectations, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their setup!

The perfect size for my 48-inch TV, combined with the Hue Sync app, provides an excellent experience for watching movies or playing video games.
