Philips Hue Play HDMI sync Box 8K

I recently bought the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K on Prime Days Sale and paired it with my Hue Bloom and OmniGlow lights as TV accent lighting and it works perfectly! The colors sync beautifully with what’s on screen, creating a really immersive experience for movies and games. One of the best things is that it now supports 8K 60 fps and 4K 120 fps, so I can finally enjoy my PS5 Pro with full performance and responsive via ambience lighting on with no noticeable latency at all. It feels super smooth and immersive. What I also love is how functional it is. The Sync Box has 4 HDMI inputs, which freed up 3 HDMI ports on my TV since I can now plug all my devices directly into the box. Setup was simple, and switching between inputs is fast and seamless. If you already have Hue lights, this box really takes your setup to another level. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it for both the convenience and the incredible ambiance it adds!

Absolutely Fantastic !!!! It took a bit of work to set it up correctly with my 85 inch Samsung TV but the effects are stunning and well worth it!!!

ME ENCANTAAA! Todo lo Philips Hue es carito pero vale muchísimo la pena! Tengo ya 2 luces para iluminar cuando vemos peliculas o juegos de video y de verdad que es la mejor inversión! El sistema es super amigable de usar

Muy bien

I recently started adding Hue lights into parts of my smart home environment, starting with the family room. I have used Hue lights previously as well as smart lights from a few different vendors. By and large, they all worked fine. I was looking to enhance the movie watching experience and cannot backlight the tv as it is mounted directly on the wall inside of an inset - so the tv fits perfect but otherwise no room. The device has 4 different HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output. All of our video content, with the exception of a blue-ray player come from an Amazon FireTV cube. Both the FireTV cube and blue-ray player are plugged into a Denon AV Receiver and the receiver is connected to the TV. To make this work, all I needed to do was move the TV output into the HDMI input and plug the TV into the HDMI output. Note that it is always powered on so even if the lights are not on, the output signal is always delivered. I have a mesh network across the 2.4 and 5ghz bands - to get this set-up, I had to temporarily disable the 5g network. Once updated, installed and on the network, I re-enabled the 5g network and we were still connected! This is not an uncommon thing with a mesh network... most IoT devices only support the 2.4 bands. The Sync Box is not inexpensive - so I was curious if it was worth the money. I am not a gamer so that particular use case did not apply to me. With the lights installed I tried a few different phone based apps to make the lights dance to music. Those were super disappointing. Wiring this into my entertainment center blew everything else away! Lights dance to the music and they properly reflect the mood in a movie. There is an update available I have yet to try - so I will come back and update the review testing the new spatial map feature
