Given the rate at which technology advances, new TVs are inevitably better than those they replace, but sometimes they lose a much-loved feature. That's what's happened here: Philips' latest Ambilight TVs have lost the ability to sync with the firm's Hue home lights.
Ambilight is a TV lighting system that reacts to what's happening on screen. The idea is to extend the visuals beyond the confines of the screen to create a more immersive viewing experience. With previous models, this could sync with Philips' range of Hue home smart lights (known as the Ambilight+Hue feature) to extend the light show even further, but not so with the 2023 models.
