CTOnews.com, January 5 / PRNewswire-FirstCall-Asianet /-- Signify, parent company of Philips Hue, announced today the launch of a paid Philips Hue Sync TV app for Samsung TVs. Users of Samsung smart TVs will be able to connect Hue light bulbs and lighting products to their televisions, which can change color according to the content on the screen.

Samsung TV's integration will interact directly with Hue lights at a lower price of $130 and will work for all image formats and TV content, including native applications such as Netflix.
The Philips Hue series has also launched a new PAR38 floodlight bulb in white and color atmosphere in the United States, which allows white and color light to be used in backyards and sidewalks.
The Hue Tap dial switch also provides a new circular mini-mounting base that can replace the conventional wall mount.
