    Looks amazing, has its flaws. The tv will sometimes go black for about 10 seconds in the middle of watching something after it changes to HDR. Also, sometimes the lights just won’t work and I have to reboot device.

    Totally unnecessary accessory but makes watching tv at home a lot more fun! Only slightly annoying thing is that you have to start the sync via the app whenever you want to use it. Overall happy with the purchase since I got it when it was on-sale.

    It does what it's supposed to do but can be a bit distracting when watching movies. I'm hoping it keeps getting better with software updates.

    This device is incredible, it matches the color on the tv screen to the hue lights in a room. If the left side of the screen has a blue color in it the lights match that color. It is the same for the left side. This lights up the whole room like you are in your own movie theater. It is the latest and greatest technology. Worth every penny, trust me you’ll love it.

    So far I’m not impressed. Maybe it is new to me and don’t have all the instructions down. When watching a movie the only colored lights on my hue bulbs is bright white or gold. I like what hue is trying to do with this sync box. I am not satisfied with the lack of light spectrum. If what I’m doing is all hue is offering then they have failed in their marketing campaign. Then it’s not worth the price.

    It is a great idea to have it hooked up to your AV devices via HDMI but unfortunately once hooked up it made my other devices not work well any longer. Not sure if it is how I hooked it up or if it is the device but I had to take it back in order to get all my lights working well again. It might be I have too many HUE lights for the system to work properly.

    When it works, it does what it's suppose to do. Since my receiver allows for two outputs at once, I was able to bypass the lack of modern format support that this devices doesn't offer as pass-thru - otherwise I'd knock it for that as well. However, the biggest complaint is how often it actually works. This thing constantly disconnects from the hue hub or it'll randomly stop syncing which causes the screen to go black, twice, while it essentially reboots. You then have to go back into the app to start the sync again. And when this happens every 5 minutes, you can see why it's very frustrating. I've contacted support, which have been very slow to respond and have not helped to resolve the issue. I've done plenty of trouble shooting - its not my wifi or router or other devices.
