    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.

    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

    The supplied hdmi cable was giving me issues constantly. The problem is they state it's certified but I would get errors with it all the time. It would kick me out of HBO, Amazon and Netflix saying that there was a problem with the hdmi. I have since changed the hdmi to one of my own and it seems to be working fine now. But poor of them to supply one that doesn't work correctly.

    Finally HDMI 2.1 support for PS5 pro and Series X. Sync box still has somes kinks to work out, but I'm sure future firmware updates will fix the issues.
