one of the main reasons i keep re-watching your vids is how you approach your editing and what you do/don't show in your videos. so many people only wanna show perfection and a perfect product, but you show all the bits and pieces of your own development with the situation... that's cool man. too many people focused on being perfect... integrity is much more appealing.
It sucks that you can t sync these to your tv display without a laptop or can they be synced with an iPad? ... seems this only works for gamers. I would love to be able to run ithem behind my 77” Oled when watching movies😍
Hi, how should i place them in the back of my monitor? Should I place them on the stand and left right or on the middle back of the monitor slightly to the left and right? I have an ultra wide 32 inch monitor
Your are the first which mentions the cable. I was kinda baffled they didnt do anything about that. I noticed in all videos the cable goes out the side.and since it comes out at the back there is stress on that cable i guess. Perhaps a hole in the mount would work nicer or a inset or so
It connects the lights to your local network and the internet. The Play Bars use Zigbee which avoids causing Wi-Fi congestion, to connect to the bridge which plugs in with ethernet to your router. It makes them very reliable.
I might ask stupid but i just bought these..do i need the bridge thing in order to use these for light up my games ? I never had any of these phillips things
Got some of these on the way from overseas, thanks for the tip and fairly close look at the stands possibly crushing them, looks like there's enough room for me to be able to drill a hole in the stand to feed the cable and power connectors through
What devices are on the left and right side of the mouse pad? One shows the current time and not sure what the other one is showing. I appreciate your response.
You can’t do any fading effects on the Phillips hue but I don’t mind it that much but if you do I believe you have to pay with apps that are compatible with phillips hue
Hello TechBlock So i bought a pack with 2 of these lights and i followed the setup. Now they both do light up and i can change colour and set scenes. But one of the lights wont change colours when i play games or watch videos. Both of the lights blinks when i listen to music, but game and video is no go...do you think its broken ? Also they realy dont light much up ingames..im disapointed in quality
mathias sørensen Hue sync is for everything but razor specific stuff. Razer and Hue collaborate on this so for razor hardware, hue and the games to work together, there's no other way than to use razer's software. You can use Hue Sync to sync the hue lights to your gaming, but it'll do nothing for your keyboard or mouse rgb. The idea of this video was to show the integration between the lights, the rgb in the razer products and the games. Just using Hue Sync would be less effective. For everyone who doesn't own any Razer hardware, it is indeed best to use Hue Sync.
Abul Quamer you can't unless you buy a philips ambilight TV. Philips offers a hue sync app, which does exactly what you're looking for, but most content providers (Netflix, Amazon, iTunes, etc.) won't allow the app to capture the video stream because of DRM. They see it as some screen capturing app and block all video as soon as it's activated. There are a few phone apps that use the camera as a sensor and send back to the hue bridge what they are capturing. But you can no longer use your phone when doing this, as you have to keep it pointed at the screen capturing as much of the screen as possible. These apps also add a ton of delay and aren't very accurate. The only option is to use a computer, illegally download content, play it through vlc or whatever player and run Hue sync at the same time. Hook up the computer to your TV, mirror display et voila. 45mins after you wanted to watch The Last Jedi you've finally gotten it all set up. Oh wait... if your TV's resolution is pretty high, you'll need a decent graphics card in your computer to support mirroring say 4k content over HDMI. And if your cables aren't up to spec, you'll get shit image quality and you'll simply turn everything off and go to bed. (Trust me, I've spend weeks trying to get this to work perfectly) So, again, there's no real way to do this at the moment. Hopefully Philips gets more and more partners like Razor and the content companies to work with them. But unless you have a philips ambilight tv you are very limited in the content that allows you to achieve this. I can't understand why they show very little interest in improving this, and neither do I understand why they haven't opened up the ambilight platform to Hue. Because even if you have an ambilight tv, only the built in led's will work in unison with the video. There currently is no way to let ambilight and hue (2 Philips products, which try to achieve the same thing really) talk to each other. It's frustrating as a heavy Hue user, but it is what it is at the moment. Hue sync does work well with audio, which is a godsend after having tried all the disco-style apps which don't appear to do more than play some random lightshow. The technology is there, it's available to Hue customers at no extra cost. It's down to philips to get content providers to work with them. Oh and finally (sorry for the rant) only buy the latest Hue products, even if they are capable of 16 million colors. Older products aren't truly entertainment-area capable, or at least their firmware isn't.
I got the play bar got the hue bridge free in a bundle.. I stuck it behind the monitor but I wanna adjust the way I put it.. But I can't take it off the 3mm vhb adhesive is super strong.. Any ideas how to take it off without breaking the monitor?
Love the setup, all the lights look fantastic. I was thinking about getting the LED strip at some point but I might save up for a pair of these instead.
I would like some lights to make my room cosy. (And not to copy the lights of my screen like on a tv). Can I use it for that? Because now I have the Philips Hue Iris, i think and I just want the lights more divided over the room.. Let me know what you think please, or anyone in the comment section :).

Good channel TechBlock keep up the good contents bro.
Buying Philips Hue products is SO ADDICTIVE
Hue play works perfect with my Amazon Echo.
Mickaël Poiraud do you need to have the smart hub to customize the color? I’m sorry, i’m kind of dumb when it comes to these type of things 😅
@@un_known6560 Their are no dumb questions, very good question
I love Phillips hue iv been using it for three years now there so fun
Can you let me know what your clock on your table , please.Thanks!
whats your watch mate?
Do you need the hue smart bridge to even change the color of the philips play
Is that a clock you got there ?
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
Road to 40k but you are growing so fast it will be 100k soon, love you dude ❤️ keep up the work

Do these play bars require a "hue bridge"?
if i get em, will i have to pay 60 more dollars to control the light and color for them in the mobile app?
Do you need the bridge just for those 2 lights?
Where is the 480p?
What is the monitor mount that you are using in your setup?
It sucks that you can t sync these to your tv display without a laptop or can they be synced with an iPad? ... seems this only works for gamers. I would love to be able to run ithem behind my 77” Oled when watching movies😍
I like the hue software but the price is just insane I got over 60ft of rgb strip lights for less than my 3m section of hue lights. Awesome review.
Can i plug a hue light strip to the brick ???
Merry Christmas Hue Lights! Best present I bought for myself. 👍
Did you buy a bridge sir?
Hi, thanks for the video, can you please tell me which one has stronger light? the light bar or strip light ?
Can’t control both to be one color at the same time?
Where did you get that clock on the desk from
Should I get strips or the light bar
Are these bars worth the money? or would you recommend another option for some fancy lightning behind the screens :)
Hey,
Do these two bars work on Tv without having Hue bridge?
You need the bridge for any accessory
Hi, how should i place them in the back of my monitor? Should I place them on the stand and left right or on the middle back of the monitor slightly to the left and right? I have an ultra wide 32 inch monitor
What is the clock you have on the tanke named?
bro you're videos are great and i hope the next couple of years i'll be seeing a million subs on your channel
how much weight would you say is on your desk i want to know what limits are since i just bought 78inch linnmon
Do you need the smart hub to set these up on the PC?
use the sticky pads that come with them and stick them to the back towards the sides of the monitor, theyre amazing though
What is the length of the cable
Is there a cheaper alternative to this? I don’t need it to connect with google or anything.
would you be able to use this without a bridge?
Philips Hue are so addictive, I have a small room yet 5 products XD
What kind of unboxing knife is that? Is very cool, do you have the link for it?
I bought it from FadeCase
Your are the first which mentions the cable. I was kinda baffled they didnt do anything about that. I noticed in all videos the cable goes out the side.and since it comes out at the back there is stress on that cable i guess. Perhaps a hole in the mount would work nicer or a inset or so
Thank you so much, iv'e been trying to find LED or RGB lights for my room but they're super expensive and I need to try this.
How do you put blue tooth on them..?🥺
What sound bar do you have? Ive been in the market for one to accommodate my dual screen setup but can't find one I like
Back at it again with a banger viedo
Love the video. Maybe use the double sided tape and stick them to the back of your monitor.
I thought there would be a Star Wars lightsaber battle lol
Samemmemememe
Wt time clock is this on table
Does one need a hue bridge? If yes for what reason?
It connects the lights to your local network and the internet. The Play Bars use Zigbee which avoids causing Wi-Fi congestion, to connect to the bridge which plugs in with ethernet to your router. It makes them very reliable.
I might ask stupid but i just bought these..do i need the bridge thing in order to use these for light up my games ?
I never had any of these phillips things
You must have a bridge!
@@TechBlock Allright bought it thx
Got some of these on the way from overseas, thanks for the tip and fairly close look at the stands possibly crushing them, looks like there's enough room for me to be able to drill a hole in the stand to feed the cable and power connectors through
so still the Philips Hue Play Light Bars are not connected to Amazon Alexa?
The first video that helped me a lot to these Philips Light bars! Is the cable damaged, yet? Very good video! 👌👍
Does anyone know if you can connect the philips hue led light strip to the base of the Bars?
What devices are on the left and right side of the mouse pad? One shows the current time and not sure what the other one is showing. I appreciate your response.
Link in description
You deserve more subs and views bro
good luck, already a fan
Thank you!!!
Can you make the light fade from blue to red back and forth slowly?
You can’t do any fading effects on the Phillips hue but I don’t mind it that much but if you do I believe you have to pay with apps that are compatible with phillips hue
How do you put the music
hues are so nice imo theyre worth it
*The next RGB Hue product is going to be a fricking Philips hue Wall!*
mrED123 low key that would be sick but expensive af
Isolated101 lol I bet
did you get it working with Amazon Alexa ?
I Think it would be very awesome for your setup if you make a techblock wallpaper in the wallpaper engine to add even more rgb
yeah and maybe even customize it a little more with rainmeter
@@vitrex3577 Never heard about rainmeter.... i quickly googled it and... damn i need this for my setup thanks man!
@@mdoh9360 no problem buddy ^^
Rainmeter is cool!
Can you control this light entirely without the hue bridge with all the RGB spectrum?
No.
If you don’t have a monitor, can you simply just set it up? If yes, how?

Never mind they will be returned to hell where they came from..talk about 2 pickforks :D
May i suggest that you Check out "Hue Sync" It wil sync the light with gaming and music, for effects/sounds effects

Amazon Echo Spot
Can you connect them to Icue?
God I love your videos. It’s really professional!

I think the stand is might be back to front... turn it around to avoid cable damage
Man i wish i had a computer that I could play really good games on but really good video dude! keep it up
Thank you!!
Yo techblock!
How did you made your background, i have 2x 24 inch and 1x 27 inch,

@@caziabraham6287 wtf

@@johnvapes8212 this is great thank you so much for your thoughts here, you have actually answered a lot of questions I had in my mind.

Use floss and just make a sawing action in between the surface and adhesive. Sorry 3 months late
My desk is against a glass wall. Trying to think how I could get lighting like this 🤔
Him: this looks absolutely crazy. Me: looks at cable management.
It works with alexa. You need to go to add device, then to setup and other. Thats how you find the philips hue, and im not even a tech freak.
Just when you think you can't take the RGB to another level, Em comes out with this
:D
I'm addicted to Philips hue lights. I think I have 13 total
Cool. Good demonstration.
Can’t find these anywhere in stores. Out of stock everywhere for me for 250 miles lol
Haha yeah, I was trying to buy a pair of these lights for quite some time
Got lucky got a set for Xmas, HUE says early January
Tom Huesgen early January for what?
Back in stock they said
Love the setup, all the lights look fantastic. I was thinking about getting the LED strip at some point but I might save up for a pair of these instead.
Me too these look like a better and easier option over the strips
Do you need the bridge for this?
Yes, it won't work without it.
how many watts are they ?
does it light up the whole room?
No
How do you put the música
I love EVERYTHING about your channel.
Whats the Name of his clock on the table?
I made a dedicated video about the clock here: ruclips.net/video/9eYTkv0oiEY/видео.html
Btw what happened to the nanoleaf ???
Umm... I've been planning on getting them for quite some time now... but haven't gotten round to buying them xD
I would like some lights to make my room cosy. (And not to copy the lights of my screen like on a tv). Can I use it for that? Because now I have the Philips Hue Iris, i think and I just want the lights more divided over the room.. Let me know what you think please, or anyone in the comment section :).
nice but they need smart light pucks. like a 4 pack to stick on the back corners of your monitor
It dosent let me change the color with the app help me
I like your RGB knife (karambit).
nice vids and setup
Thanks Chris!
