Do Ambilight TVs work with Hue?

It’s possible to use Ambilight+Hue but also have Hue work independently. When you look in the Hue app, you’ll see that those bulbs are labelled as “sync” – so they’re being controlled by something else (in this case the TV), when the TV is on. But when the TV is off, those bulbs are released again to work as normal.

Is Ambilight useful?

Does Ambilight make a difference?

Ambilight is essentially the inclusion of an LED array around the side of a television, which projects color onto the wall behind a TV. Sound like a gimmick? It isn’t.
