I waited 3 months a still couldn't find 75 inch for my T.V. so I had to make due with a light strip at the top and table lamps for the sides and small portable for the lower sides. Don't give up just try to improvise, It's worth it. I have a few examples, take a look😉

Hi, a larger size light strip will work in principle, however the light position will actually be out of position with the correct lighting position. Philip released an official video warning of this.

@tmbrgndy 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Matt, you are right but In my experience, the light strip is not far enough out for you to notice any misalignment and the effect we have achieved is better (in my opinion) than having the whole bottom edge of the TV without any light at all. This setup definitely isn’t endorsed by Philips but we couldn’t be happier! Thanks for you comment and hope you enjoyed the video.

Very helpful video, thank you! Quick question for you: We also have a Sonos sound bar (Sonos ARC), which we use for the TV output and for playing music directly via Alexa and / or via the Sonos app. Do you know if it would be possible to use the HDMI synch box for both the TV video synching and for music synching when playing directly out of the soundbar? Don't know if my question makes sense. But we have one HDMI input into the TV (coming from a switchbox), which would be easy to connect to the Hue Synch box. It sounds like it will be fine to put the Hue Synch box between the HDMI input and the TV. What I am curious about is whether we can synch the lightstrip with music coming out of the soundbar (e.g., when playing music via the Sonos App) when the TV is not turned on? Unfortunately, it doesn't look like the Sonos Arc soundbar has an HDMI out port (just an "in" port to receive output from the TV). I guess an alternative setup would be to play the music through the TV via the HDMI cable to the soundbar and use the soundbar purely as an output speaker. Thank you!

Hi Carl, Great informative video. Good tip on getting the larger than recommended size of light strip as I too have a 65" TV. Thank you. As a suggestion, since you say that you are a perfectionist, I would say that the correct spelling for Philips is with a single "L". Cheers.

Hi Miguel Figueiredo… My Apple TV 4K is using default settings. I wonder if you have a faulty light strip or sync box. Apple TV > sync box (HDMI 4) > sync box > TV. The only change I had to make was in the hue sync app and change it to light on automatically when signal input is detected on HDMI 4 Hope this helps?

How do you control which of the inputs on the sync box should be active? For example if I have a PS5 connected to HDMI 1 and a Nintendo Switch on HDMI 2, how do I change between them? The sync box itself is only connected to one HDMI port on the TV. And how does the input channels look like on the TV?
@tmbrgndy
@tmbrgndy 3 жыл бұрын
@sepestration That is actually a really good question... The light syncs with whichever input is actively showing content on the screen. I will come back to you on the switching between inputs very soon as I need to test with my laptop the 2nd HDMI input!
@tmbrgndy
@tmbrgndy 3 жыл бұрын
@sepestration With an Apple TV in HDMI 1 and a laptop connectors to HDMI 2, The sync box switches to whichever input is active and takes about 3 syncs to sync the lights to the new input. There are settings within the sync app around inputs, the default is for auto switching but you can turn this off and set your tv remote to switch inputs e.g red button changes to HDMI 1. Finally, you can name each input from the app so I have HDMI1 labelled as “Apple TV”. The TV we have auto changes the source icon for the HDMI input depending on what is active through the sync box. Hope this makes sense and helps?

@Jim Hailwood Thankyou so much for your kind comment and for subscribing… It means so much. I haven’t been able to make any new videos recently due to lack of time but have a couple in the works including a long term review of the HomePod Mini. Mathematically, a 55” on a 49” SHOULD work but best advice I can give is make sure your TV has places on the back to mount the brackets without vents. Maybe test with a 55” piece of string before you purchase to see how it would go? Good luck!!

Maybe worth a factory reset of the box or try a different input to see if the same thing happens otherwise raise a support request from hue support? Good luck 🤞🏻

It’s hdmi 2.0 but there’s a rather easy workaround. Just got an hdmi 2.1 compliment splitter and run your device direct to tv and the split to the play box without using it as a pass through to main feed. Works perfect and remains future proof

@Tom Legere Do they make a splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs and shows both outputs at the same time. Looking on Amazon, all the splitters with 1 input/ 2 outputs can only output the signal to one output at a time. I'm assuming you would need the signal going out to both places simultaneously. If there is a splitter thar does that, it sounds like a good work around.
