I have hue and the overwatch light syncing is amazing! I use Razer's software to sync the games. Though the bloom bulbs don't go dim enough I'd definitely get the go lights vs the bloom

already bought myself the go today :) next up is the starter with lightbulbs & hub then strips for desk and monitor like yours and then indeed both apps on phone and pc for sync oh man can't wait ! , ty !

Tom, that is just awesome. I have a Philips TV in the kitchen and it has that type thing going on at the sides of the TV and as you say it just makes whatever you are watching more immersive....this Hue lighting seems to do the same thing. I love the lighting strip and those cool lights on your desk. One thing what is that Flat screen TV you have.. is it a Samsung?

DIY Ambilight for your Sony tv.. but it would require two or preferably four light sources behind the tv, or better still an improved sectional lighstrip that could display separate colours along it's length, with position context for each section held in the app. Maybe Hue version three.. Definitely warrants an Android TV app too.

I tried this before with other non 1st party apps & at that point I had the same oppinion. But with this app it works .... Watching Movies without it feels dull now :D ... You just need to adjust the brightness & speed correctly ... then it doesnt feel flashy & annoying .. but rather ads a wow effect if I were to describe it :D

@tonytonitza 4 жыл бұрын

The versatility of the Hue system gives you control over that. This video doesn't cover everything, you have various modes of lighting and you can set up brightness and speed so that it doesn't end up being a distraction instead of adding to the experience. That's why Hue is so much more expensive because it does work flawlessly and you have granular control over everything.

I am assuming set up another room and then activate it on both which I have tried but no joy. Any help greatly received.

@jantlotus 5 жыл бұрын

Have had this setup for a month now. But i have complained to Philips about the Hue Sync. For in my case i use Nvidia Surround 5760x1080 and that works great in games, but when i feel to watch a movie only the middle screen is active and Hue Sync then only see my left and right screen as black. So i said to them that they should have a option in the settings for the app to switch between different resolutions, in my case from 5760x1080 to 1920x1080. Hope they will look in to it.

Awesome video. Thanks
