Customer Ratings & Reviews

Been waiting years for this to release. Held off on buying the previous one. Did not dissapoint. Its pricey, but its phillips hue.

This product is a huge improvement than the previous generation sync box. It has less lag and it has less sync issues

Much better than the old sync box, works great! Just follow directions! I can definitely see the difference with the 2.1 ports, getting true 4k and 120fps.

Great! It works well on my xbox series x at 4k 120 hz

Creates an immersive experience. Especially cool while gaming on the TV

This version is way better than the last one, im very happy with it

After upgrading my TV I had to get this. Worth it.

This really does work with 4K, no issues at all and very easy setup.

Much better than the original! Makes gaming more immersive especially on ps5 pro at 120hz

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.

Great product works great. although old model i could customize it but not this one

Very nice device Very easy to hook up A great value for the money

Very easy to set up and use with hue light strip for our TV.

Works well with the PS5 pro. Certainly can notice an upgrade from the original sync box.

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.

So cool, cant wait to set it up! 3rd floor renovations should be completed in a couple of months.

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.

Works well so far and feels better than the 4k sync it replaced.

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.
