Minor kinks but what a trip
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love this! Not something I use for every movie but definitely a lot of fun for the experience. Works best in a smaller space. Other users commented that it has a hard time doing the automatic selection of devices, but I’ve only found that to be the case if the devices are already on (and I’m sure a software update can fix that). The intensity is also not customizable beyond the four available options and the presets didn’t have an impact or wasn’t well explained. Other than that, lots of fun.

Much needed if you have hue lights.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This hdmi sync box is very pricy at $230 but is needed to create your own nightclub in your living room or extend the visuals of your movies or shows. Movies or shows you need to set the speed to moderate and lower the brightness if you’re using it with music videos or edm music set it to extreme and turn the brightness up.

Philips Hue Sync Box
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to be able to sync my existing Philips Hue Play Bars (3 of them) and the Hue Go Lamp (2 of them). I have the sync box connected to my A/V receiver then to my TV. It works great, and adds another level to what you are watching. Other than the price, I'm very happy with this purchase. It's not for everyone, but if you have existing Hue Play Lights connected to your TV and want to elevate your TV experience, then I recommend it.

Impressive box
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am pretty familiar with the Hue ecosystem, so this didn’t phase me much in terms of complexity. I’m used to the Hue app and setup process, so it wasn’t hard, just a bit time consuming. NOTE: For best results, use HDMI cables that are specifically rated for the 2.1 spec, especially with Dolby Vision and HDR content. Make sure Enhanced Dolby Vision Compatibility is turned on as well. My ATV 4k Gen3 was exhibiting many of the complaints about syncing randomly stopping and starting, or losing sync randomly, so despite it working perfectly with my AVR and TV, I replaced the HDMI cable with a new one, specifically designed for the 2.1 standard. Poof, all the issues disappeared, my Siri Shortcuts work, and it’s flawless.

It has its pros & cons
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s great when it work. At times it works when it wants too. I mainly use for video games and movies, but sometimes annoying when it doesn’t want to Work… when you buy something so expensive like this you don’t expect to have much trouble at all…

Great for home theater set up
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is awesome if you have too few ports on your tv. The bonus is that you can connect the hue lighting to it and have an amazing theater experience! It can be a pain to set up but once you get everything set its awesome

Awesome system
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is absolutely awesome. Your friends and family will be blown away by this as they probably have never seen anything like this. The device syncs perfectly with movies and had no issues keeping up with the action on my Series X. If you’re considering it, buy it if it’s available.

Works great!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Hue Sync was easy enough to setup and connect through the app. I already had all of my equipment running through my receiver and 1 HDMI cable going to the TV. All I did was insert the Sync in between the receiver and TV and set the “ARC” setting (so I could send my controls through) and I was up and running in no time!

Complete you at Home Experience
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With most movies forgoing theaters for a while I decided to invest in my home setup more. This first if all functions as an extremely useful HDMI splitter for those in need of some more ports. But more so it works as described and it's really cool when paired with numerous lights in sync with your TV

Cool, fun, and enjoyable
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was the second one I’ve purchased. It wouldn’t work correctly the first time, b/c I believe the hdmi plug it was in had limited functionality. Only found this out thru troubleshooting, I first thought it was my sound bar causing the problem but it works fine now. Just gets a little hung up sometimes, but just stopping sync and starting it back will fix the problem in my situations.

Fun but needs work
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Changing the input is a pain. You have to use your cell phone or have empty buttons in your remote control. Easy to set up... works just like the app they had. Still cannot get the voice control on alexa to work. The default is that its always on.... DOES NOT WORK WITH ANY 3D CONTENT. Not via a streaming service or directly through the dvd. Kinda mad about that.

Awesome
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I LOVE IT!! My wife & kids thought I was out of my mind at first. But after watching several action movies and the light flashing all over the place that’s the only way they want to watch movies now. AWESOME.. I have 9 lights connected to the sync box and it makes for an AWESOME experience in movie watching.
