I would recommend this to a friend Philips still got it wrong on their 8k gen 2 sync
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I owned the 4k version of this and it was a bottleneck in my system particularly for the ps5 trying to display 4k 120hz content. I figured I would upgrade so I could at least play 4k 120hz content and have my philips hue lights work with my gaming console. Well guess what?? This is not an upgrade at all. Even after a days worth of trying various 8k HDMI certified cables the ps5 will still not show RGB with 4k 120hz capabilities with this new updated supposedly 8k version of this box. There is currently no workaround that I am aware of. I even ran the cables in various different inputs and outputs thinking my yamaha receiver or tcl tv were the problem. When I hook the ps5 up directly to the yamaha rxa6a receiver or directly to the tv you can in fact see the PS5 recognize the RGB and 4k 120hz capabilities. Hopefully philips releases an update that fixes this soon. I spent more money on Monster 8k hdmi certified cables than I did on this unit trying to get it to work correctly to no avail. I tried connecting the setup like this PS5 > Sync box > yamaha rxa6 > tcl qm8 tv which does not work above 60hz @ 4k resolution. I then tried hooking it up like this PS5 > yamaha rxa6 > sync box > tcl qm8 tv which still was a bottleneck in the system. PS5 > tcl qm8 tv or PS5 > yamaha rxa6 > tcl qm8 tv gave the ps5 its full potential at 4k 120+hz. Try again philips hue with your sync box. I tried using their hue sync app as a work around and it does work however it just displays random colors and does not match the screen colors at all. Back to the drawing boards philips. Please fix your product. BTW when you call philips to diagnose the issue they will keep blaming the cables and not their 8k sync box. I have been a home theater enthusiast for over 30 years and this was a huge let down.

I would recommend this to a friendAvoid the negative reviews with the Apple TV 4k
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Avoid the negative reviews about working with the Apple TV 4K, it has worked without any issues for me with a Bose ultra 900 soundbar.
I would recommend this to a friendShould have bought this sooner
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Sync Box 8k has worked flawlessly with my hue ecosystem. I bought the Govee sync box 2 , but was let down as usually with the color accuracy being off and the lights not syncing fast enough. I know its a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Function
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well with the PS5 pro. Certainly can notice an upgrade from the original sync box.
I would recommend this to a friend Best product
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great product to sync with your HUE lights. Easy to install.
I would recommend this to a friendWell worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the second box I’ve purchased. A little pricey but well worth the immersive experience. The lights bring your room to life whether you are watching movies or playing video games. There’s just something about your room glowing red as you are about to drop in to Verdance. If you know… You know.

Upgrade
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works well so far and feels better than the 4k sync it replaced.
I would recommend this to a friend Hue Sync with HDMI 2.1 added cost of $100
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only buy if your using devices that use the full 48gbps HDMI spec with your tv otherwise your better off getting the previous gen version which does 120hz and VRR but only at 1080p/1440p. Only reason to buy this version over the older revision is you have TV with 120hz/VRR and you have have PS5/PS5Pro/Series X/S or play PC games on your tv. Also if your SSID has _ in it the device doesn't play nice with it.
I would recommend this to a friendHue Quality, Hue Price
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very good product, the sort of quality you would expect from Philips Hue, it's just a shame the 'cheaper' 4K version isn't still available as you still need at least $150+ equipment on top of this to make it really work
I would recommend this to a friendOk upgrade!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No noticeable difference from the OG box but then again I’m only using 4k. No glitches notice compared to the older version.
