God damn...so amazing looking, but that’s a big investment once you include lights, hub, and a smart box to supplant your TV’s built-in apps. I have a PS4 but I’d be leaning toward buying an Apple TV. So that’s, what. Like, a million dollars?

My favorite thing is watching concerts and music videos in Intense video mode and the "Use audio for effect" turned on. I use multiple bulbs in fixtures around my living room for this and turns it into a club! For movies and tv shows I've just used the lights behind the tv, but found them distracting. I might try lowering the brightness to see if I like that better. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the little, but very important detail, that a lot of other channels don't mention but you did. And that was the light strip will sync up with whatever is plugged into the sync box & the apps on a smart TV won't work, which is exactly how I was going to use it. So thanks for that bit of info and also saving me 250+ bucks.

There is a way to retain/keep Atmos, however I think it requires/restricts you to only have 1 (one) connection to the sync box. I recently bought myself a Sync box to enhance my AppleTV experience but certainly didn't want to lose the Atmos sound, and it does work. The trick is that the Sync box must be set to "Enable ARC pass through), so I have my ATV connected to my soundbar; then the soundbars ARC output goes to the Sync Box (must be in HDMI 2 or 4 I believe); and finally the Sync Box HDMI ARC goes to my TV's HDMI ARC port. Ohh, and Dolby Vision must also be enabled in the Sync App. But then it works perfectly, I now have nice light sync and perfect Atmos. I think it is possible to "cheat" the "only one connection" in the setup I have, as long as I do it by plugging additional sources in the soundbar and thus the Sync bar still only is used in one port.

tip. you can adjust each individual lamp in the hue app, not the sync app. if done so, the sync app and hue box will use those settings. also use the sync app is basicly only for adjusting some levels of intensity, after that you can save your settings in the app and refresh your syncbox app in google home, and controll everything with you voice. even switch hdmi ports by name, change intensity by voice, hell even rename your syncbox. step one, always set things in the hue apps, then return to google home and refresh the hue app.

Hello, I want to start by saying that I really enjoy your videos. I got a Philips TV 55PUS7304 with Ambilight for like 500 USD (4K android 9 TV and other nice specs) and it can connect to my Philips Hue system. My setup is made from 3 Hue color bulbs, 2 Hue Blooms and the 3 sided ambient light from the TV. All the friends that came to us loved the system and the lights. In my opinion the atmosphere it creates is better than any other TV setup.

My friend has the setup using the Hue app through a PC for a couple years and it looks amazing! He has a light strip on the back of the TV, a light strip on the floor and ceiling above/below the TV, another behind the couch, and like 3 Hue bulbs surrounding the area. It took a lot of work for him to get it perfect. I'm considering the sync box for the ease of use factor.

Is there any type of HDMI 'sync box' for Lifx or Yeelight (from your other videos, it sounds like those are the best options for smart bulbs that fit into the profile that I'm looking for). I'm trying to figure out the best bang for the buck that can sync hdmi devices to them like the video. Thanks!

I was thinking about 5 GU10 color ambiance on the ceiling, but im afraid im still missing those neat lightning effects, because the GU10 spots have symetric positions, and i just want the position of where the lightining is begining and struck covered. Right now i own a Hue Go (under my tv) and a Hue gradient lightstrip.

I have used LED light strip on top of the screen and play bars on the side walls but in the middle a bit away from screens behind the sofas. Work great with the sync box.

All my media player, game console and other devices are hooked up to the receiver which in turn send out the signal to my tv. Do you think this configuration might work. I hear people complain about the difficult handshake between HDMI signal and the sync box. The sync box at times might not even process the signal and it would result in a black screen. Thanks

So the sync pc app might contain hell of viruses but I installed anyway. Actually worked nice with my pc I watched Mulan (2020) with video sync enabled and it worked through out the movie. Fast forward not even a day later watched a movie on Netflix (nothing) then watched a movie on Amazon (nothing). Seems Disney so far is the only service that syncs with hue (video) wise. Any other suggestions or opinions? Thanks

No I haven't experienced that. That's a bummer though.

No worries, Philips say its due to my internet being unstable, here in the UK some of us don't have very good speeds, i get like 7mbs download so might be struggling to cope with the bandwidth required from the Sync Box.

Added 2 light bars to my set up for behind TV, going to move the hue blooms to another area. With these light bars I'm up to 5bulbs, 2lightstrips, 2 blooms and now 2bars. Now I want the syncbox 😫 💰 Only plus is these bulbs last forever

So how would this work if you have an A/V receiver? All my inputs run through there which happen to be six of them. Would the Sync box now become like an A/V HDMI switcher and the just accepts the one input?
