Great product! However the omission of HDMI 2.1 is a definite no go. If I payed extra for an 85” OLED TV that goes up to 120Hz I’m not gonna just use it at 60Hz. not to mention the fact that it will outright not support 8K for any future upgrades.

[@GeekStreet]

Yes, I did tell them a few times to go for a hdmi 2.1 sync box

[@drblitz3092]

i didnt buy hdmi 2.1 capable pc parts/monitor and ps5 to not use it, so ill let the suckers buy this until an hdmi 2.1 sync box releases.

[@stackerman2800]

There are literally almost no games on the ps5 or series X that run at 4k and 120fps. HDMI 2.1 is pretty useless lol

No hdmi 2.1 is terrible. Should’ve mentioned that off rip cause it’s a deal breaker for me and probably others too

[@nubPWNZ]

For sure 100%

[@phantasticmrphasma9874]

And either way, for some things (like fast paced competitive gaming), having a middle man device that processes the HDMI signal before sending it to the tv, is surely not ideal? For things like movies or casual games it actually looks pretty cool though! And i’m not a fan of rear screen lighting, i think its a distraction, but this being completely relative to the onscreen colour, actually makes sense. I like it

[@paddyc20]

What do you need hdmi for ? Just plug fucker in an use it ffs

[@jacoblooyestein9812]

They released a new sync box with a 2.1 HDMI. This was also one of my biggest issues.

[@jakesteel2423]

Will keep waiting i guess. This is getting a lot closer to the product i want. Get hdmi 2.1 with vrr support and im in. Will stick with my h6199 dream view for now

getting flashed in cod would be another experience

[@johnathansmith1003]

I had this, the lag in fast paced games was distracting, if it was faster it would be SO MUCH BETTER!

[@MurakenToo]

Is there no sync box for hdmi 2.1 out yet? And does Philips ambilight tv's do a good enough job since I assume because it's built into the tv, those will function just fine for 4k 120hz?

Awesome video. Still going to hold out until they update to 2.1 So it's future proof

So how would the sync box work with a surround sound or home theatre system?

[@apostasiaelegcho5612]

Can you sync other light strips to it via Bluetooth, like you can the T2 system?

[@Furnets]

Nice video, mate 👌 But i have a question related with applying the leds on the G3 Oled TV. I've recently bought one, but i use the provided wall mount on it, so the darker part of the TV (where you apply the leds) is flush on the wall. So, my question is, is it possible to apply the leds on the light grey part of the tv, or it wouldn't be safe for the screen (maybe due to the leds warming a bit and damaging the screen)? Thank you in advance, and keep up the good work. PS: If it's safe, i will also wait for the 2.1 hdmi box 👍

[@ThatsMrMaxHeadroomToYou]

Hey dude, by any chance do you know when the 75'' - 85'' version of the kit (H6602) is going to be available for purchase in the UK? Cheers!

Lytmi Fantasy 3 TV Backlight Kit - HDMI 2.1

[@bungeholegymtestkitchen9888]

If you’re not a gamer and will only use this for tv/movie watching, is there really any reason you “have” to have HDMI 2.1? And is there a chance this can be software updated or is it a hardware limitation?

[@GeekStreet]

@@bungeholegymtestkitchen9888 if your not a gamer then the Hdmi 2.1 makes no difference and the limitation is hardware based.

[@jzky]

think camera version is better, since tv has all the apps built in, and hdmi is only used to connect a Reciver (in my house)

[@johnthe_don]

I have a 70 i ch tv and not sure which model to get. Any help would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@TRX25EX]

I think best use case will be all HDMIs to Audio Amplifier and one HDMI out to Sync box then to TV, that way you get at least max audio capabilities than compromising both audio and video..... My main issue with these boxes is I usually use Android TV from Sony, I don't think there's a way to make Sync box work using TV own apps, so a separate android TV device need to be bought

[@GeekStreet]

Yeah unfortunately there's no way of making this work with inbuilt apps.

[@vinct7023]

yes typically I do sue an Nvidia Shield to sue Android apps, simply because my TCL TV is a bit "old" and its Android apps is very slow due to average electronics while Nvidia (or TV Cube) are super fast).

[@richardjones2865]

True. I have the syncbox and a Sony bravia android tv. I bought a firestick so I could watch films etc with it

[@cammycool1627]

Does this work with the amazing cube?

[@10403mike]

Hello so if you press that button on the sync box it will still have lights that will sync the color with using any built in apps on the TV using a smart TV?

[@GeekStreet]

No it only syncs signals coming in via the hdmi input

[@Uncle_Titus]

WE need that for 75inch.

hello GeekStreet, i hope you are doing well. thankyou for the video .... actually, I have been planning to install lights behind my TV and My PC. as u mentioned the ai box does not support cable tv . but here in INDIA i guess its call cable tv but technically it is not. it is a SET-TOP box system would it sync to it ?? please let me know so i can make a decision ... also is there a option if we don't want to sync it and keep it on warm colors while watching tv ?

[@richardjones2865]

Yes you can. Anything that's plugged into it through HDMI will work. I have it connected to my set top box. Also, you can select any colour or scene that are available through the app or download scenes from others and also create your own scenes. The options are endless. I could go on all day about it lol

[@GeekStreet]

Yeah the camera system gives alot of flexibility

[@playnicegames]

@@GeekStreet honestly, in a isolated situation it’s hard to tell the slight lag that’s present, and the lag aids in mitigating the strobing effect at fast moving lights, which can be nauseating. That is often never noted.

I'm planning to get either the Ai sync box or T2 for my 65 inch Samsung $90C tv that is connected to Samsung q600 soundbar. My usecase is for watching KZbin content and movies on various streaming services like Netflix, prime etc. Which one should go for?

[@richardjones2865]

I have the sync box connected to my xbox one x and it's amazing. I bought a firestick (4K) to plug into it to watch all of my streaming services through it on my Sony bravia 55" android tv. The system is so good that it has brought back my love of gaming as I was bored for years with it and problem solved with watching TV etc. It's transformed the whole visual experience and don't forget about the dreamview feature that throws the lightning effects out throughout the room if you have more govee devices. I can't recommend the sync box enough!

[@redwolf4221]

This is perfect for my tv, it only goes up to 60hz, and 4k uhd so there is no downside for me

Id only consider this if it was HDMI 2.1 and unfortunately it seems all major players in the synced TV backlight game are lacking. I can slightly forgive philips considering their sync box is just old, even though they are still selling it at full price, but I just don't understand why these brands are so far behind with catching up to hdmi 2.1, especially newer entries to the game.

I've now lost this feature with the syncbox.
