Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box - Why I'm Returning

I've really wanted a TV backlight system for a long time, so I couldn't resist when Philips Hue announced that they were making dedicated hardware for the job. But I'm having second thoughts... here's why...

In this video, I have two Philips Hue Lightstrips around the perimeter of the rear of my TV. I have a 65" TV and I couldn't quite wrap both of them all the way around, so there's a small gap at the bottom of the screen.

One more note, the flicker from the lightstrips is not visible to the human eye. I set my camera to 30fps and 1/60 for my shutter speed, but still couldn't completely eliminate the flicker in camera. This effect is totally invisible in person.
