How do you set up Philips Ambilight?
Tips for the ideal setup
Get the most out of your Ambilight television by applying the following setup tips. For example, Ambilight works best in a slightly darkened room. That's because the color effects are most visible in that environment. In addition, we recommend to place the TV at about a 25cm distance from the wall. It's also good to leave enough space around the television for the best Ambilight effect. Want to mount TV with a wall mount? Ensure a distance of at least 5cm between the wall and the TV for the optimal lighting effect.
