Customer Ratings & Reviews

The product is excellent and good experience while watching movies. Gives various options with color brightness etc. the price is bit oversized!

In my humble opinion, I am a person that love all the new devices and this one is a perfect sync box for my TV, the colors and sync is amazing, has 4 hdmi inputs and the out to TV, I have my cable setbox, my 4k player and my xbox one connected and is other way to watch the tv, you can sync with the video colors or if you want to feel that you are in a disco you can sync with the music option. The only con that I found and I believe could be a good idea, to put in the sync box a display to show in which input number is selected to watch. YES, I recommend this product!

In order for this box to sync lighting to match what's being displayed you'll need to connect your hdmi out to one of its hdmi port. This becomes an issue if you own a SmartTV because the apps are built directly into the TV. Without an hdmi out signal to the box, hue sync will not work. Philips does not plan to address this any time soon.

This unit will revolutionize your entertainment space. Paired with Phillips Hue Play lighting and TV strips, this box and the sync app will make even the most uneventful show and movies breathe life visually. Easy to setup and the reaction times from the Hue lights are perfect. A nit pricey, but worth the investment.

This thing is good. Right now. The 50z max pass thru and no Dolby Vision coming is the reason why I gave it this. The CON here is this. ARCing. Literally they want me to reroute my entire set-up just for that. Not happening. So I did the Xbox 1X thru. Put it to it's most extreme setting and still only 50z capable. Mine you my TV is a brand new LG C9. Overall, there isn't anything on the market that can do this and honestly the best one. If there was an update to be able to push my TV and FR and hz ups. With Dolby Vision. Then you got me at 5.

It does what it does. Syncs your light with the TV. It is beautiful how the lights change but unless you have the dough for it, it is worth it.

Great addition to entertainment center. Initial purchase didn’t work out of the box was replacement was easy and is working fine.

It's pricey, but man is it cool. If you're already invested in Hue lights, this is a great way to put them to work for your entertainment area. I have my Apple TV 4k, Switch, and PS4 all running through this. On the most extreme settings the lights can be a little distracting with how suddenly they change colors, so I pretty much have them on the lowest intensity setting.

Unfortunately the Hue Play Sync box loses connection to its source with some regularity. Watching a movie and all is good, then later it loses connection and stays locked into a white colored light. You have to log in to app (slow to react) and then it has to be reset to work again. I tried exchanging the unit, but it's still doing the same thing. Maybe it's a software issue that could be addressed. I cannot give it more than 3 stars for this reason.

This device is super cool. Very responsive to color and light changes with the picture. Not 100% perfect but works great!

My girlfriend absolutely loves this upgrade to her Samsung frame tv. There were some hiccups when connecting her gaming system. But we scoured the Reddit forums and found that the delay with xbox and PlayStation is a known issue. Still a great addition to our entertainment space.

We use the Philips Hue HDMI Sync Box behind our TV, and it’s fantastic. It syncs perfectly with our lights and makes movies and shows feel more immersive. Easy to set up, and we love the atmosphere it creates.

Really love our new setup with the philips hue lighting. The sync box made all the difference with being able to adjust the lights and sync up with the music. Love watching concerts with the new setup!

Once the item arrived I unboxed it ASAP. It took me about 15-20 mins to get the entire system synced and velcro'd to the back of my TV. Once all of that was done, I threw in the one movie which was a logical choice to watch first. AVATAR due to the colors. It didn't disappoint and we loved every second!

I bought this to use with my Hue play lights behind my tv. The lights are aimed at the wall. It adds great effects for movie watching. The only downside is the content has to run through it so I had to buy a firestick to plug into it rather than just using the apps on my tv and I can’t use it with my Armos soundbar, so I have to choose one or the other.

Really like how it works, it's fascinating. I wasn't expecting it to work this great

I bought this sync box to enhance my entertainment experience. It was pretty cool for most things but I couldn't get it to sync properly and I had issues going back and forth from tv to games. It ended up making me a bit sick so I ended up taking it back. I did think it was really cool and I plan on buying a later version once bugs get workout. It was also more expensive then I wanted to spend on it.

Works well to match the colors. Does cause the sound to go out of sync with the picture so it has to be restarted and usually fixes it.

Over all it’s a good product. It works well and was easy to set up. It’s a little frustrating at times to change from one HDMI to another.

I have been wanting this device for a while but the price was too much for what it offered. Through Best Buy I was able to get a great product used or refurbish.
