NEW Philips Hue Play HDMI 2.1 Sync Box 8K IS FINALLY HERE!

The govee backlight 3 lite is in my shopping cart. Prefer hdmi, but too expensive. I’m not sure but presume it has the best music settings. (Because nobody covers it)

In a few months I will move into a new apartment and just like in yours, I will want to decorate the room with light. You have inspired me completely.

The investment price is very high in my region. A sync box 399.99, light strip for 65" tv 319.99, bridge 69.99. Then you need to power all three devices and set them up. For the effort and funds required I will wait for a different hdmi 2.1 sync box product. Great review though!

Excellent video and perfect timing!

Hi, this is a great video! I’m going to buy the Hue ecosystem soon and was wondering if you ever thought about running your Sonos Arc through the Sync Box as well with HDMI/eArc, or would that not work/not make a difference? Thanks!

The 4K sync box has a limitation for ARC support that you can only have one device plugged in. Can you check the app settings to see if that is still the case with the 8k version?

[@yervandpapazyan4473]

Hello, First of all, thank you for all your reviews. They are incredibly helpful not only to me but also to many others. Could you please compare the 3 HDMI 2.1 Fancy Sync Box with the Philips Sync Box and provide your honest opinion on which one is the better choice? I noticed that if you choose the Philips Sync Box, Hub, Play Gradient Light Tube (Large), and Play Gradient Light Strip for a 75-inch TV, the total cost is almost $1000 and Fancy sync box for 75 inch TV with RGBW version cost 270 Euro. Is there any crucial feature that deserves to pay this much money for a Philips setup instead of choosing a fancy sync box?

[@GeekStreet]

@yervandpapazyan4473 thanks for the suggestion I'm planning a video like this very soon

[@yervandpapazyan4473]

@@GeekStreet Yes, it would be nice because We all know that Philips has a huge advantage. Because They have a lot of Light bulbs and everything to add later In your setup, But if we put aside this huge advantage and only compare this two product It will be nice to know which one is logical choice.

So did u try an Apple TV ? Or any other streaming box ? Are u actually getting Dolby vision ? What kind of tv u have ? Sony ?

I streamed from my console and for dolby vision content I used Disney+ playing Avengers End Game as an example and my TV is an LG OLED G4

[@WooDeWow]

@@GeekStreet I’m having issues on my Sony tv using a Apple TV, without the sync box , the setting on the tv and the Apple TV is Dolby vision , but with sync box it goes to 4k 60hz on the Apple TV and when trying to watch Dolby vision content it shows the stamp however just because it has the stamp don’t mean it’s playing that, for Sony tvs the picture setting for non vision is like “Vivid” or “standard”. But in Dolby vision content it would show “Dolby Vision Vivid” or “Dolby Vision Bright” . Ughhh whyyy meee

[@GeekStreet]

@@WooDeWow do you have the latest hdmi 2.1 sync box? Have you tried swapping cables?

[@WooDeWow]

@@GeekStreet yes and iv used every cable in the house , without the sync box I get the Apple TV to work with my Sony A95L perfectly and can see on the tv menu it’s in Dolby vision and can change the picture setting from “Dolby vision vivid” to “Dolby vision bright” etc that’s only for Dolby vision content of course , with the sync box it’s like regular “vivid” “standard” “cinnima” etc settings I’d get watching Hulu something without Dolby vision . But it should be Dolby vision for almost everything on AppleTV+ is Dolby vision , and my premium Netflix Dolby Atmos audio is passing through to my Sonos sound system good but no Dolby vision :( Ima waiting for Phillips to get back to me , all my other devices the ps5 work great VRR ALLM n everything but ps5 don’t support Dolby vision so I can’t even try to see if maybe something with the Apple TV routing to sync box then to tv idk honestly .

[@richarda3764]

It looks really interesting to have the lighting match the onscreen content, but I can't decide if I would like it or if it would be distracting and something I'd eventually turn off. Also, maybe spend the money on a larger TV instead of doing the matching lighting? I bet a 77" would be more immersive and fun for gaming and movies than the lighting bouncing around. Just a thought.

[@ysh5155]

Thanks for the vid. I've been struggling to decide if I should by a White Arc + Sub or Black. In your video I have the feeling a White arc + Sub would maybe be better, but I'm not sure. What is your opinion ? Or would it reflect lights of the Hue sync box too much ?

In the UK if you wanted to add lights to a current oled it's around £400 which is insane it should be a bundle of everything for 200 or less I like the look of the ambilight but I think I'll just hold off and then in 5 years or whenever I need a new tv I'll consider an ambilight tv

Hello, I wonder if you can help me. I currently have an LG G3 linked to a Denon X2800H. When we play on the PS5 or Xbox Series X, our TV goes into standby about every 20 minutes. When we unplug the previous Phillips Hue box it seems to solve the issue. Would this new box solve the issue completely with it being HDMI 2.1? Thanks and keep up the great content

Would love to see this versus the Lytmi Fantasy 3 Pro. The cost difference I hope means the Hue is that mich better!

[@Steve30x]

They need to make the kit for 43" to 50" TVs. As I've been saying with years they should include an os like android TV or fire TV in these boxes with at least one usb input for external drive for videos. It would make a good all in one unit.

To get Dolbyvision (AppleTV, XBox) to work on my A95L I had to disable the 4K120 setting in the input type and simply select enhanced for the HDMI settings for that port. For 4K120 gaming with VRR the TV will toggle it automatically if you select those settings on your gaming console, however you’ll need to set it back to enhanced to use Dolbyvision. If you’re playing at 4K60 without VRR Dolbyvision settings remain unchanged. Hope this helps someone, this may just be a Sony thing.

[@arturo_lugo]

Long time fan here! Quick question: is the ac cable "glued" to the power adapter? Previous iteration even allowed to add 2 more devices, such as the lightstrip or a light bar, to the same power brick, which I took advantage of. Could I replicate that with the 8K box, even if I have to use my previous power adaptor? Thanks!!

12:39 something I didn’t see explained but a question I have before purchasing. Does the sync box auto switch inputs easily or can that be done through the app?

Does the sync box do the same?

How did you resolve the issue you mentioned in 4:40

[@97_Houdini]

The price is really high, but if you use a PC, it's the only option to get a consistent signal. Don't even try other Sync Boxes, you will burn money if you plan to use a PC. I used a Samsung TV 2024 and RTX 4090, alot of signal problems with FancyLed's....

Nice review. At this price better having an ambilight philips tv. Also you can get distracted by the effects and not being 100/100 concentrated on movies

3:19 u need that to play the lights?

[@GeekStreet]

@lukaster0010 yes that's right

[@entity_1108]

Where did you get that stand for your soundbar?

[@lilyestes-bq6bw]

@@entity_1108 I would like to know where you got the TV console that is under the TV. The white one with the sound bar on it??

Hi, do you know if QMS (Quick Media Switch) is supported with AppleTV ?

[@jean-marcisola9865]

So I received my Sync Box 8K and it's not compatible with QMS...

[@emre33851]

Is it still blacking out like previous one for long time using?

[@GeekStreet]

No I've not experienced anything like that it's been all good.

I hate the got rid of the ambilight+hue option on the tv's. The Sync Box still doesnt work on TV Apps right? Only external sources is kinda useless.

[@xanderross]

It's useless for you, but for someone like me, who never uses the TV app but only the one on Apple TV or the Xbox, it's perfect.

[@incrediblePsychoheaD]

@xanderross true. Im just spoiled from the ambilight+hue option, which worked on anything like a charm. 😔
