Fancy LEDs HDMI 2.1 sync box review. Best gaming experience!

This TV backlight sync box is for the gamers! Here is my review of the Fancy LEDs HDMI 2.1 TV backlight sync box.
Not only does this RGB lighting kit react to your content but it also runs at 4k@120hz meaning you won’t need to compromise on gaming performance!
In this video I take a look what you get, how to set it up, plus all the features you need to know about!
Special thanks to my boys for helping me out with the Fortnite gameplay!!
Big thanks also to Fancy LEDs for sending the kit out for me to review. As stated in my review, thoughts are my own. No direction was received from the manufacturer.

A 3 port version is available to pre-order on the website, shipping starts June.

[@n64slayer]

Is this the 96 led per meter version

[@arcadespawn]

@@n64slayer Yes the 3 port HDMI 2.1 version is listed as the 96 led one.

[@ArrowFunction]

Nice clear review. Look forward to future productions!

[@arcadespawn]

Cheers, much appreciated. Plenty more on the way!

[@EverReddy]

Great review, has got me very tempted!

[@arcadespawn]

Haha, thanks, game nights about to get an upgrade!

[@TomEversley]

Great review mate. Must say I prefer static lights, but this is impressive, great it works up to 120hz 👍🏼

[@arcadespawn]

Thanks Tom! I definitely prefer to change the settings to suit the content I’m watching! Creates a great atmosphere!

[@LickyDischarge]

Very professional video 👍🏻😎

[@arcadespawn]

Cheers! Thanks for checking out the vid!

[@tylerc2809]

Great review. How does it know where the corners of the TV are so that it matches what's on the screen? Like a 60 inch tv would have different length to a corner than a 80 inch tv.

[@arcadespawn]

Thanks!! My total guess would be that it works out the length based on where the LED terminates and then matches up to the aspect ratio of the display.

[@Taurius10093]

Thank you so much, so my Wi-Fi set up in my new apartment is trash lol but I cant use Philip hues. Which im mad because I spent a lot of money on it lol. But this solves my problems and the 3 hdmi out that’s coming soon. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH.

[@arcadespawn]

That’s awesome, glad the vid helped you out! Cheers for letting me know, really appreciate it!

[@olivier3816]

Hi and thanks for that great review! I've got a question: I watch lots of contents with subtitles, and I wonder how it behaves in those conditions, particularly in widescreen/letterbox with subtitles in the black bar at the bottom of the screen... Does it flash white light underneath the TV when the subtitles pop? Thanks in advance!

[@arcadespawn]

Thanks! Interesting question. I can check that! Bit tricky as my TV is on the stand so less light shows but I can check what the LEDs are doing.

[@arcadespawn]

I checked on a few things but on all of them the subtitles overlapped the film and the black letterbox. In this scenario it didn’t make the lights react. Might be different if the subtitle is much lower.

[@olivier3816]

@spawn Thanks a lot for having checked so quickly, you rock!! That was the only missing detail for my purchase decision !

[@arcadespawn]

You’re welcome! Enjoy!

[@MaliceandEnvy]

How do you see the test colour screen after setup when connected to ps5? (The test colour screen is featured in the first few seconds of this video btw) any help would be much appreciated.

[@arcadespawn]

These are from KZbin. Just lookup 4K colour test or similar and you should get lots of videos to show off your setup!

[@MaliceandEnvy]

I see. Thanks, for replying.

[@AMGTT]

It doesn’t seem to be able to completely turn off for color color

[@nonosquadgaming]

How did you get them to send it to you with only 138 subs?

[@AscenderPrime]

Finally

[@victorpitan8744]

Is the gaming bundle also compatible with watching movies or is it only compatible with the console?

[@arcadespawn]

Hi! It needs an hdmi device but doesn’t have to be a console. Devices like Apple TV or Fire Stick will work also. There’s a compatibility section against each product on their website if you want to be sure.

[@godslayer0165]

Would the 2.1 sync box be good for watching animes and other things? Or it is mainly good for gaming?!

[@arcadespawn]

Still very cool but if you’re not gaming then the HDMI 2.0 version might be better value if it’s cheaper. So long as you’re watching from a device that connects via hdmi.

[@godslayer0165]

@@arcadespawn ok thanks

[@TheSd1cko]

Do any of these boxes have the ability to work with lights that might be at the other end of the room away from the tv?

[@arcadespawn]

Yes there are some that do that. So Fancy do triangles for example, and they’re not physically connected to the sync box, but will sync with it because of the app.

[@TheSd1cko]

@arcadespawn Thank you. does this app run on the TV? We have a Sony android TV but we usually watch everything over our sky box. Just trying to understand what will and won't work. Thanks again

[@arcadespawn]

It uses a mobile phone app. I’ve checked and Sky boxes aren’t listed in their compatibility list but if you contact them via their website they’ll be able to confirm.

[@TheSd1cko]

@@arcadespawn thanks again, I will take a look

[@JordanDaFatMan]

So im assuming theres no way to use them with streaming apps downloaded on the tv itself?

[@arcadespawn]

That’s right, needs the HDMI source into the box.

[@heyolorenns]

@@arcadespawncan I just use an apple TV box since its HDMI? lol

[@arcadespawn]

Yes Apple TV is listed as a compatible device 👍

[@heyolorenns]

@@arcadespawn haha I literally just read in a forum as soon as you replied

[@GAZMAN2002]

I wish it hand 2 or 3 hdmi inputs

[@TheIncredibleMachin3]

There are versions with 3 inputs

[@arcadespawn]

Looks like these have only just been announced. According to the website they’ll start shipping from June.

[@antarahmed7896]

Does it work with a monitor

[@arcadespawn]

Yes it does. I’ve not tested, but their website confirms it does.

[@khaled166]

Not working in smart tv?

[@arcadespawn]

No it requires an HDMI source to work.

[@AMGTT]

It’s the best sync box other than Philips hue

[@arcadespawn]

Did you go for the hdmi 2.1 option? How are you finding it?
