Great when works
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When the product works, it is great. That being said, It is very hit or miss on if it will work or not. I have my apple tv plugged into the box and some applications have issues with displaying.

it's worth the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.a must for your appleTV, computer, sound system (they connect and sync with spotify!) and your play station, everything in one little box is enough for any entertainment area. they are not cheap but you only have to buy it once and set it up once and forget about it and just enjoy it

Needs improvement but great when it works.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sync only with items attached to the sync box. I've to stop using all the native apps to my tv. Thats the only pain. Another pain point is connecting it with a remote. Ideally, this thing should come with a remote. Rest all works really great.

When it works it’s great but connection is flakey
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It does what it says it will when connected. However it frequently loses connection to Phillips hub then reconnects in a few minutes.

Great w gradient light strip
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Connecting with gradient strip makes for an amazing home theatre experience. After setting up i don’t know how I ever watched TV before. The colors match incredibly well and the sync is pretty much perfect. The price point for entry into ecosystem is steep, but well worth it if you can invest the funds!

My second one!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second Hue Sync box. I freaking love these things! I don't understand people's troubles with them. If you have a Hue bridge, this thing is easy. Just make sure you use HDMI 2.0 or better cables to make sure everything jives.

Pricey...but fun to have with smart bulbs
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hue products are always pricey, but they are awesome when it works. I have from technical difficulties when using HDMI CEC with Samsung tvs. It would randomly lose source connection to the TV. Easy to use app. They also added Google assistance so you don't have to go into the app to change source.

Must Have
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely a must if you want to elevate your watching experience whether it’s regular cable shows or movies. We have bought the Philips tv strip and two plays and it’s amazing! We mainly use it for Netflix and YouTube Tv. The only reason I’m leaving one star out is because it requires an external streaming device. The color sync does not work with just smart TV apps (Netflix, HBO Max, YoutubeTv, etc.). Luckily we already had an extra chromecast to use.

I love it but man it is buggy
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have since replaced this device three times. When it works it works great and I love it. When it doesn't work it is really annoying and distracting to the eyes. I found out disconnecting my WeMo switches helps with the disconnects from syncbox to bridge and putting network lease to 12 hours really helps and I found out some of my smart things devices can cause interference. But but as I said my works it's great

Immersive Experience
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I combined this with two hue plays behind my TV and it is discreet yet immersive experience to watch something on it. It’s a fairly simple process to setup your entertainment zone. The only thing that I’m not overly excited about is that it now becomes your HDMI splitter because it can take 4 HDMI connections but it only sends one HDMI to the TV

Great little box but pricey.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Impressive box. However in my case, passing Dolby vision signal can be unstable at times. Easy to setup.

fun but not perfect
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's makes any visual entertainment more immersive but there is a lag between what's shown on screen vs lights being displayed.

Good sync box for lighting.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good product that works well. The only issue I have is you really have to figure out the settings in the app. If you want your tv lights to work when you turn on and off the tv correctly connect a usb cable from the box to the tv.

Awesome for Hue lights
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a pretty awesome addition to my Hue collection. It’s a little buggy at times, but they’re usually good at pushing updates that address bugs. I only wish it would truly be Dolby Atmos/Vision compatible. My tv doesn’t recognize that it is. Also I would like to be able to fully control it with a Philips brand remote instead of programming a universal remote. It’s rather expensive but if you’re up for a new level of entertainment lighting, I’d highly recommend this.

Overpriced but a necessity.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They could be way cheaper for what it does and for its limitations. However, this is the only way to do this with ease.

Favorite
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the best Philips/Smart products on the market. No other tv light system will sync better than the Philips Sync box. Totally worth the money.

amazing control sync box
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.great sync box to control your TV light strip and u can connect to use with Alexa. At least I do and it works great. U can download the free app and use with the TV light strip but strongly recommend to use this for more convenience. Of course, the price is a bit steep
