They are cutting this feature from their own Philips Ambilight TVs, so I'm sure that we will not see this in LG's.

My own LG TV is way too old I guess but maybe it is possible yes.

I think their reasoning for this is that it replaces the HUE synch box which costs even more than 130. A positive side to the app is that you would be able to use the TV's own mediaplayer apps with ambilight which is not possible with the sync box as it needs an external source for playback.

Yup, I guess their thinking is based on the sync box pricing. It's funny that Hue Sync app for Mac and Windows is competely free (for now) and that's why the TV app feels like ripoff.

Signify has now released a Hue sync app for recent Samsung TV's. It is up to LG to follow up on this for recent LG models.

Btw, the adds on this LG site are messing up everything. The screen keeps jumping and it's even hard to type a reply. Why are there adds on a userforum?

Yes they have released an app for Samsung TV's, but the price is insanely high. I mean Ambilight was a very nice gimmick but I'm not sure if I'm willing to pay $130 for an app that just controls my lights.

This is the only feature that I MISS with my new LG 77 OLED C2.
