    Thanks to the firmware upgrade that was released earlier this year, this was an automatic buy. 4 HDMI outs and can now handle HDR. Kids love playing music and video games with light sync.

    Depending on how many devices you have, setup can be a pain. It does 4k but not 3D, so that's a bummer. But when you're up and running, it's PHENOMENAL. You'll never watch movies at home the same again. Sometimes the box loses connection with the hub, can't figure out why, and that's very frustrating.

    this box sucks. It loses the signal and stops syncing constantly. It will, at times cut the signal to the TV even when not in use. Then you have to reboot it just to get the signal back to the TV. The folks at Hue suggested I use HDMI 2 cos it has a stronger signal. Did not change things, Very expensive to be this frustrating. I would stay away

    This is also needed for the Philip's Hue lights but is really easy to use and easily organizes all of the hdmi cords for your tv set and is really simple to use. Set up looks great.

    Not very intuitive to set up with a voice assistant. Commands are a bit unnatural language. Does the job though. Don't get the gradient thing. Just make one with a raspberry pi and some LED strips for near the same money and a way better experience. Hyperion is the way to go.

    Have had a lot of connectivity issues with the device. Returned it under warranty/replacement and will try a new one. When it did work though it was great for movies and video games. That’s the only reason I’m giving it a second shot.

    Saw a YouTube video with a similar setup and could not stop thinking about the setup. Dolby vision pass through seems to work pretty seamlessly, and the sync is absolutely incredible!

    A bit quirky when switching between different devices, but works as advertised. It’s a surround sound for your eyes that enhances the movie experience. It was a pain to set-up and after several calls and online videos I found out it will not connect to a dual router, only to 2.4GH.

    Setup took about 10 minutes, has made movies, and games a ton of fun. The bonus is that you can voice command to change the inputs and turn off the sync via google home and I think Echo too.

    We decided to add this to our Hue system to give our TV the accent lighting it needed. We have two play bars and multiple color bulbs setup with it and couldn’t be happier with the whole setup.
