I'm nerdy about many things but for whatever reason TV aren't one of them and this is plenty fine for me. I only wish Sony stayed away from Google. Sony is big enough, they can develop their own OS.
But for those interested: I have setup and watched TV without a Google account. I have it off my local network and manually check for updates

4.5 stars for a solid daily normie keyboard.
I love this keyboard. The only thing that bothers me is that backlight doesn't come on until I hit a key and even in moderate light, they can be difficult to see. But that's just a minor quibble that I may not have found a solution to yet.

Take smart light with you with the portable Hue Go. From a splash of color to a mood-setting centerpiece, the Hue Go lets you set the perfect ambiance. Works as a standalone light or as part of your smart lighting system with the Hue Bridge (sold separately).

2 of these as rears, paired with an AppleTV sounds pretty good for a piece mailed Surround system. White noise in bedroom. So many use cases at a good price point. Only wish it had 3.5mm input and removable cord and the the ability to toggle Tidal or Spotify as the default music service but that's supposedly on it's way.
Also: Siri isn't as "good" Alexa or Google because Apple doesn't harvest and sell your data. I'll gladly trade off privacy for less "good"

Great sounding little speaker but of course I have a wish list:
detachable cable
AUX/3.5mm in
an app where I can use tone controls, toggle button for my default music service (or introduce HiRes into Apple Music to compel me to switch)

I occasionally pretend to be one. So I feel I can say that these are undoubtedly NOT audiophile headphones (and not just because they're bluetooth). But my primary use case isn't to be an audiophile (its not a 24/7 job) so I don't really care. It's mostly: podcasts and video meetings
I care about these because Bluetooth is terrible, particularly the pairing/unpairing, etc. If you're in the Apple ecosystem, it's amazing. It knows what device you want to listen to. Listening in living room on phone, walk to office open laptop and will pair with that automatically (or not). Walk to bedroom, pick up iPad...paired.
The major omission I'm not fond of: Inability to manually change volume on the 'stem'. I'm not about the talk to this Siri person in public re: volume changes. I'd think it'd be an easy firmware update but who knows.

Improve the look of photos and videos with this SunPak bicolor ring light. The combination of white and amber LEDs offers even illumination, and the heat-free lighting is ideal for close-ups. This SunPak bicolor ring light has a mount with tilt function, allowing adjustment, and a built-in remote that makes operation easier.

I'll probably get more for my TV because I don't use mine like most people. I put mine under a shelf over my dresser so now they're part of my bedroom lighting and I can now see my socks. 1 navy blue and 1 black? Not this time, socks....
I'd have preferred to use the light strips but if Philips thinks I'm going to buy 80 inches only to use 24; they have another thing coming. Why they dont sell additional lightstrip components like connectors, splitters and most importantly, the controller is beyond me. I'd much rather buy lightstrips, use them in 3 locations in 24" increments but I guess that's another review.....

The Philips Hue HDMI Sync box adds premium surround lighting to your home theater by syncing your Hue smart lights with movies, music and video games. Watch, listen and play with more wonder and excitement as your lights dance, flash, dim and brighten with your screen. Requires Hue color capable lights and a Hue Bridge (sold separately).
 

Does it sync with audio? Ex. If I play 'Dark Side of the Moon' through Spotify or Tidal through my AppleTV and just the album art displays on screen, what happens? What happens if I turn the TV off? Am I able to achieve peak chill vibes with audio only?

Take the excitement of surround lighting to the next level with the Philips Hue Play gradient lightstrip. This LED strip flawlessly blends multiple colors of light at the same time, mimicking the content on the entire screen for an immersive, full-room entertainment experience unlike any other. Hue Bridge and Hue Play HDMI Sync Box required, not included.
 

Any features outside of the gradient that makes this worth 3 times the cost of the Lightstrip+ $70? I’m thinking it may just be better to buy three of those and do whatever I wish around the TV.

You still need to use the overpriced HDMI Box for them to Sync so, no, absolutely not. I invoke the Diminishing Returns clause and think your plan is better

Is it wireless? U like the original homepod which you have to connect to electric wall outlet.

It's hardwired and terminates in USB-C so there are multiple power options
