    Philips allows you to download an app onto your computer that can do pretty much exactly what this box does, but for free. It’s a pain to sync what’s on the computer with what’s on the screen (as in, making sure the movie/show starts at exactly the same time on both devices) but if you don’t mind spending a moment doing that before watching something to do that, then don’t buy this. If you have money sitting around, or you really don’t feel like syncing the computer screen and the TV screen, then get this. But it’s certainly not for everyone.

    Most of all, it works with lights as intended to have a great lighting effect. I find the control between inputs to be clunky and a bit annoying, but overall it does its job.

    Nice addition to a home entertainment center. Takes some fine tuning but once it’s up and running and it makes for a nice movie watching, gaming, and music listening experience.

    Waste of money. Set up was a chore. Once it connected, the lights worked great. However, it began to randomly disconnect after approximately two weeks of use. At that point, I was unable to use the lights for up to an hour while they reconnected. What's the point? Wait for a more stable version at a better price. Overpriced and not worth the aggravation!

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
