Philips Hue adds more affordable options for syncing smart lights with your TV

Syncing Philips Hue lights to your TV display has become more affordable, with costs dropping to as low as $120.

This integration adds Hue compatibility to third-party apps, enhancing functionality with animated scenes and music syncing.
