4K @120hz on the Govee TV Sync Box vs Lytmi Fantasy 3 vs Govee T2 Cameras: Which is BEST today?

[@iitgupta2010]

TV sync box link not working.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Let me look deeper into this and follow up with you! UPDATE: Man, unfortunately it sounds like the TV AI sync box has been sold out, and there may not be plans to continue manufacturing, as Govee plans to replace it with 2.1.

[@nonyabizwax5892]

I’m being honest. It was hard to watch all three together with that big old bright clip photo outshining and distracting from what I came to see. That’s all my eye could see

[@The.Sky.Driver]

I picked up the Lytmi 3 a few days ago. One of the first things we watched on the (also new) 77" C3 was My Hero Academia and W O W is that awesome. In fact any SDR source looks so rich and awesome. But that issue you pointed out with HDR content is a huge killer. It's probably more apparent on an OLED display, but the black levels of the LED strips is just a constant grey! It looks terrible. That with the strange desturation of the rest of the color space really take away from the experience and becomes a distraction. When watching HDR content (something that is becoming more of a standard with streaming service productions), I find myself walking up and turning the lights off for the duration of the session. It's a shame, but I'm hoping a software fix could swoop in and save the day. Great review, thanks for putting the comparison together.

[@MalamuteMan1]

Great comment. Nice to have useful information in the comments section for a change. What would you recommend right now?

[@jasonv576]

This. I have the Lytmi 3 also and on HDR mode its exactly how you describe. What I dont understand why is Lytmi advertising that they support HDR then when it does not work so good.

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

Got my Lytmi Fantasy 3 yesterday and its my 2nd unit since the first didnt work and neither does this one. Lytmi Tch support is useless still waiting for them to respond. I get predominantly white colors dont even come close to what others are experiencing. I have the Govee setup and no complaints. I thought Id give Lytm a try but Im very disappointed getting to retrun the Lytmi as far as im concerned its junk... Glad your works though

[@SkyTightGaming]

OMG I might have to change my whole set up. And fly you out here just to get it done the right way.

[@jpnn80]

I wish you could have included the Ambivision product from a UK based company and using a camera, as IMHO their color accuracy is top notch and the camera setup is the best and most simple way to ensure compatibility with the latest HDMI features such as VRR

[@isaiahyuuup]

[@SeanTKO]

MrTek I've had the T1 for a couple years now on my 75 inch QLED. Mostly playing games on my PS5 and watching Anime with that in mind, What do you recommend for color accuracy the T2 or the govee sync box? Looking to upgrade for Christmas. The govee hdmi 2.0 doesn't bother me for the moment on the sync box. Just looking for the best color accuracy for the picture. Thank you sir

[@alexlloyd9201]

I just bought the T2 week ago and love it. 60 led/meter makes a big difference, plus, i watch all my movies/tv shows through the prime video and disney+ apps on the tv native apps, which isn't possible without using an external stream device when using the sync boxes. Been playing helldivers 2 over the weekend and it's amazing with this setup

[@Daehawk]

For my eyes when you have the three up together and I pause it on those scenes it appears to me that the govee t2 cameras matches the screen colors much more correctly. The lytmi is just way off on colors and timing. If its blue on screen it shows a black and if its dark its showing a blue where the govees both match colors in the right areas better and the t2 looks brighter.

Fantastic comparisons - thanks for all the work on that. I have a question though. Do you think this will work running my receiver through the box? I mainly watch movies/tv shows and those come from apps installed on my FireTV cube that runs to my receiver then to the TV. If the Govee sync box is between the receiver and TV will that still work as desired?

[@U_N_I_F_I_E_D]

I also have the same question ?

[@jasonv576]

Hands down the best comparision vid on the whole of KZbin. Well explained. Now I regret I have the Lytmi Fantasy 3, I always thought in HDR mode it looked kinda grey and thought it was my eyes, but now I see its a know problem. Not very nice of them to advertize with HDR when it does not work very well :-(. Thinking of the Govee right now but as you explain you need to adjust a bit too right to get good HDR with Govee?

[@dalhectar]

One thing I noticed is that there's no mention of non-full screen performance, such as watching a 2.35:1 movie on a 16:9 TV so the movie is letterboxed. Compare to videos I've seen of Philips Hue Sync in action, or in my experience with the T2- Govee HDMI treats the letterboxes as part of the image so the middle portion of the sides of the TV that are letterboxed have almost no backlighting. Corners can utilize the image that reaches the left/right sides of the TV, but when there's 2.35:1 letterboxed content there's almost no backlighting in the middle of the letterboxed sides. Compare the difference between a 2:1 movie like Jurassic World to a 2.35:1 movie like a Star Wars movie or even a 4:3 movie like the Snyder Cut of Justice League. For TV content that's filmed 16:9 & video games that use the full screen this is a non-issue, but for theatrically released movies it takes away dramatically from the improved speed & accuracy that the TV Sync Box offers.

[@kevinvitale8980]

Thank you for detailing this issue. I was wondering what happens in this scenario, which I watch a lot of movies in that aspect ratio. I think it’s kind of critical point for me to NOT pursue backlighting for my tv.

[@sirbaerias3456]

How looks Fancy vs Lytmi?

[@ChatalbashReviews]

I have the govee sync box and the two biggest flaws I’ve noticed are… 1. Widescreen content makes the lighting only contained to what is within the two black bars, awful. 2. The lights are extremely dull, even at 100 percent

[@DoSe420]

I agree with the widescreen part, the side lights aren't bad. But the top and bottom are pretty dim. I found some different width border videos here on yt. It takes up until 50px at the edge for the lights to start showing. At 100px they are dim like you said with widescreen.

[@nekitoprazeres2575]

Hello. First of all thank you for this excellent video comparison. I have a question: is there any workaround for the smart tv video apps when using the govee sync box? I have the T1 light sync but with the new tv i would like to switch to a more clean system. Thank you.

[@AleksLazar]

[@Imhim0616]

Just got the govee update today that fix the brightness for letterbox content and they added more games for the ai mode

[@Badnewsblink]

Really great workaround bro. It’s just shameful that with all of these advanced tvs out there that Govee hasn’t joined the rest of the world with 4k @ 120 hz, I have been wanting to get one of these lighting kits so bad but I don’t want to sacrifice and go 4k @ 60hz and I also don’t want to only run 1 device at 120hz. I want to run both my Apple TV AND my Xbox series X both at 120hz. Honestly I think for the time being, I’m going to buy a more inexpensive kit that relies on a camera (which I hate the way it looks with the camera front and center) but at least that way I can just switch to the hover 2.1 HDMI box when they eventually come around and put one out. I appreciate all of your reviews and your opinions.

[@iLLbiLLkiLLs]

Excellent video. You answered my questions entirely. I need a splitter. Thank you for this video.

What do I need to do to make 120Hz video and Dolby Digital sound work? So far 2 options, Govee Sync Box + HDMI Switch or wait for Govee HDMI 2.1 Sync Box Kit. I'm not sure if with a switch everything will work as it should and switch automatically. Devices with a camera will certainly make everything easier, but the colour representation is not very good.

So govees sync box is for movies and gaming? I use the T2 camera now placed at the bottom of the TV and it's pretty good but not as good as Mr TEK lol I can never get mine to work like you do yours. So if the govee sync will work then I'm done or it will be litmy. The camera for me is very accurate compared to the box I e seen

[@THE-zv7vj]

get your eyes checked.. I have both boxes.. the fact I have to buy another adapter to get it to work at 120hz is enough to let me return it.. The colors I feel are better , brighter and faster with the lytmi over the govee. I also painted my wall a reflective white with no goofy wall protrusions like yours.. Its super bright , its smaller and better made..

[@davidaghaian6892]

I'm curious, with this setup are you able to support HDR? I'm told HDR support doesn't work any time you attempt to use "Duplicate displays" on Windows

[@BaseInThePlaceBeirut]

Nice comparison. Quick question though, could you overcome the HDR issue on the lytmi with the use of an hdmi splitter?

[@Chesterflaps]

If this is the case I'd like to know too.

[@deeharp]

Are people actually buying these for something other than games? But overall neither just makes a product that works, I just want a light strip that gives Sync lights to enhance. That is high quality. Govee was great for 75 bucks why does this HDMI sync box add so much cost? it seems like they have not actually improved anything. Except their margins.

[@ejeeze1266]

To watch movies?

[@DoSe420]

Price is up because there's no cheap capture cards on the market. All these sync boxes use a passthrough capture card to read the signal and output to the TV. I'd really like to see TVs start giving access to the USB port, so we can just use a screen reader app. Hue I guess has a deal with Samsung to do that.

[@coreykuchynka9750]

I recently got the govee ai sync box and the colors are great! I grabbed the 8k hdmi splitter as well and that solution is definitely working at the moment, but im still testing it a bit longer term. My two biggest issues with the sync box right now is the lackluster top and bottom lighting for letterboxed content and the second is that the HDMI switching is largely handled through the sync box or the govee app. I have yet to figure out if auto hdmi switching works with this box yet, but so far it doesnt look like it.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Thanks for dropping by. I’ve been told that an update is in the works to help mitigate the widescreen issue described. It doesn’t look like auto switching is currently supported unfortunately. So if you switch between ports a lot, you can either use the app or the physical button on the sync box itself.

[@TwoHandsPlease]

Yes I’m having g the same issue with letterbox content (something. I watch frequently). The lighting on top and bottom turn blue. This is very frustrating for a movie watcher like me

[@stephenwatson6277]

How did you get it to work for your PS5?? Bought this to get more immersion out of my gaming, and I hook up the proper HDMI from the PS5 to the box then HDMI from box to TV.

This hack appears to solve that issue but $120 for the sync box plus $119 for the splitter and cables is overkill when your already purchasing a 900 dollar budget 120hz tv. Guess ill have to wait this out until they drop the next gen version

[@madmac3981]

Hi mate. Thanks for a great video!! I don't know if it is because of your back wall texture or because on camera (video) things are never exactly the same as in real life, but I feel that your T2 colour matching is a bit off. I'll try to run some comparisons using some of the scenes you used and update this comment later. Edit: I tested my T2 in the movie scenes and can confirm that your colours are a bit off, especially the skin tones. Your colour calibration seems to be a bit too much on the warm side. I must say though, despite mine being a bit better in terms of colour, it's still no match for the Box, especially where in some bits theres some sort of faint green, but the camera sees it in blue, unlike the box that does a mich better job. However, it's not miles away, and the T2 is very damn capable imo.

[@jtown8701]

I appreciate the follow up on your comment! Thinking of getting the T2 since I game and watch movies. I need the 4K 120hz, so I think the T2 is the best in the market for what I’m looking for, in my personal opinion after researching for a couple hours. Also have you tried recalibrating your T2 camera and see if the edges align correctly?

[@madmac3981]

@@jtown8701 my calibration is correct. The thing with the T2 is, because it's camera based, it's not just taking what's on the edge of the screen, it's taking more of an average of an area and reproducing the most prevalent colour in that area. (This is my own realizations of how it works, not an official statement from Govee) Sometimes, if there's something on that screen that is a different colour but of a smaller size, it might not be reproduced. The colour calibration on the app allows you to get very close to what's on the TV screen, but it's not perfect as some colours might be off (I sometimes get certain shades of orange as red). Another thing to have in mind is the day/night configuration. If you calibrate your system in the nighttime with the lights off (as you probably should), then it's not going to be as accurate during the day, and vice versa. For the price, I don't think you can go wrong with the T2. It was my best purchase in a long long time. I absolutely love it!

[@jtown8701]

@@madmac3981 I appreciate the insight, but after a couple more videos of looking into it, it may not be what I was hoping for in a Govee TV backlight product. Also keeping in mind that my TV is 48”. (The LED strips are too long creating more inaccuracy.) Which for sure put the nail in the coffin. Appreciate your feedback still!

[@madmac3981]

@@jtown8701 yeah, the size might be an issue, although some people have found some very creative ways around it. Make no mistake, the only "perfect" system is Philips Ambilight imbued on the TV(the original that started it), all others have flaws and limitations. I feel the T2 is as good as it gets with small compromises and I can tell you I wouldn't trade it for the sync box as it's limited to HDMI inputs, so native TV apps (Netflix and such) won't work. If you want something perfect, better just get yourself a Philips TV, as you'll be left disappointed with everything else (I would have, if they weren't more expensive than the LG I got)

I was interested in this video. I have the T2 but always have a pink tint to white on the upper right side of my TV which I am unable to remove with any settings. The colours I get are mostly accurate but not always. Do you have any tips on how to get a more accurate colour? I think I will have to upgrade to the Lymi because I require 4 HDMI ins for my devices. Do you have any suggestions on how to get rid of the pink tint? I have contacted Govee support but they weren't very helpful. Thanks for the very informative reviews.

I have that issue as well. I noticed that my kitchen light was getting picked up by the camera and turned the lights on the top left of my screen. Perhaps you might have the same issue?

[@RipYaHeadOff]

Also worth mentioning if you have your setup on a high gloss finish cabinet or near one put a black sheet or non-reflective sheet or something over it and your colour accuracy will improve

[@GatorRican]

The comparison graph is incorrect - Govee Sync Box does not support ALLM - at least the PC model doesn't.

[@hustlehousemarv3625]

Do the Govee 2.9 support Dolby Atmos

[@Eliokyn]

guys does the sync box works for the cable tv as well and apps or just for gaming consoles? thank you

[@nickl514]

Have you ditched the govee neon strip "hack" to boost the backlighting brightness? not sure if you did that when upgrading to T2 (I think you were using T1 in that hack video) or just had to take it down so you could add more strips to your TV to test products such at the Lytmi box

[@MrTekSuggest]

The T2 is much brighter, and has better coverage with the higher bead density. So yes, definitely did not have to use that hack!

[@nickl514]

I am trying to upgrade to the Sync Box from my T2 and use the splitter hack, how do the Sync Box lights compare to the T2 in terms of brightness? Wondering if you would still recommend adding the neon strip in that setup. Either way, thanks for all the in depth info you provide in your videos and quick replies to comments. Your channel has been invaluable to me in terms of working with Govee products. I just couldnt ever truly dial in proper calibration settings with the T2 on a 77" LG C2 and the lag was also bothering me. I can deal with the lack of VRR, seems like there aren't even a ton of PS5 games that support it atm regardless. Appreciate any input/recommendations you could provide! DreamSync is too valuable to go away from Govee and Lytmi doesn't support LG TVs for w/e reason anyway, even on the upcoming Pro version @@MrTekSuggest

[@nickl514]

Full disclosure, I have already purchased the Sync Box and was pressed for time so I simply connected it to my T2 lights. I plan to put up the lights that came with the Sync Box and do a full reset just in case connecting to the T2 lights caused any problems. But I was severely unimpressed with the brightness. I did just notice I had another Wi-Fi firmware update to apply, so I just did that and will test it out soon. Still would love your input on the Neon strip. I have also purchased the desk strip for my media stand as recommend in one of your other videos and am excited for that added capability. One more question (sorry for so many!) but does the Sync Box natively support Atmos or would the splitter be necessary for this too? @@MrTekSuggest

[@MrTekSuggest]

@@nickl514 Yes, you can get native support for the sync box with Atmos. The T2 and the sync box light strips are both 60 beads per meter, and very very similar in design. Govee does not recommend it as it may not work for everyone, but I have successfully interchanged the light strips between the two without problems. You can certainly add the neon TV rope to the mix, however, you will lose some precision as it does not have as many dedicated IC targeting areas

[@nickl514]

once again, appreciate the info and quick reply. i know I shouldnt be using the T2 strips, but I've been fairly preoccupied lately and simply have been too lazy to put up the new strip. Also still debating on whether or not to keep the T2 strip up or remove it. Previously, when i checked the audio/display in the audio diagnostics, the only "Yes" in the audio section was for PCM Audio. I admit that i did not not scan the QR code to "learn more about why Fire TV may not be able to properly detect audio settings." I installed a splitter last night, and just went through the diagnostics and everything is coming back with a "Yes." Great! Well, maybe not so because now it seems I have no audio running through my soundbar, despite the popup in the corner listing "Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos through sound bar". I will give all my devices a quick restart, but my soundbar is connected to my TV's eARC port as always, and this is actually the splitter/downscaler than I'm using: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C996Q4YP/. Seems to be the 1x2 version of the 1x4 version you link to in your other video, and comes with 2 devices, which I did not think I would need (only using PS5 and Fire TV Cube, which shouldnt require the downscaling), but it may come in handy. I'll do some troubleshooting and get back to you ASAP, but if you do have a quick known fix for my audio issue (tinkering with EDID options possibly?), please don't hesitate to post it before I give my update! Thanks again for all your help. @@MrTekSuggest

[@sarathkishore]

Where can I get that 3D wall panel or wallpaper thingy that you have on the wall behind the TV?

[@WeAreN1nja]

Amazon. It's from 3dart, or art3d. It's fairly affordable, too.

[@ivan-j4l9x]

Does any know if the 90 inch strip on the lytmi fantasy 3 will work with a tlc 98 inch lcd tv?

[@spaceblu7542]

Question, what would happen with the splitter if you used 1 hdmi 2.0? Been trying to use straight hdmi 2.1, but no luck.

[@spaceblu7542]

It also lacks brightness compared to the regular setup

[@s3d843]

Hey man.. what game was that you were showing at 0:50?

[@s3d843]

Nvm, I literally browsed "shooters" in the Playstation Store and found it completely by accident. Not to mention it's only $20. Game is called Bright Memory: Infinite for anyone interested. Seems like a really good solo shooter if you want the CoD vibe but tired of sweatin' every damn game.

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

Looks like the Govee AI isnt available any longer for anything larger than 32 inches....And, Lytmi Customer Service is Terrible. It takes 24 hours for one reply by email each day. The Lytmi Fantasy 3 is not mirroring as seen here and other videos as well as their own website. I get predominately white background. And the constant flickering is very annoying. I am going to order this splitter though I do also have the Govee T2 and love it. I just bought an LG OLED 87 inch. I was hoping the Lytmi Fantasy 3 would work but, now I found the 85 inch Govee AI on ebay (new) hopefully this works better.
