Not yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When it works, it's glorious. After setting it up, I immediately grabbed Suspiria, the film I pretty much bought the system for, and popped it in my 4K player. It was marvelous until it lost the signal fifteen minutes in and I had to restart everything. Then it happened again. And again. And again. I tried everything that the internet told me, but to no avail. A quick browse of other reviews will yield similar complaints. I wanted this to work, but it's just not there yet. I'll keep waiting, though.

Initially good, but no
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Initially impressed, quite easy to set up and get going and seemed to work great. Then the issues started. I let this “sync”, after about 3hrs it was still doing this. Contacted support, no response in a week. Other issue. There are 4 HDMI input ports, one output into the TV - this seemed to mess things up for me. Maybe I needed to dig into this more, but poor instructions and lack of support meant issues - was difficult to switch between inputs & was unable to leverage the embedded smart tv functions in prime and Netflix- probably user related but when the documents provided, the first few YouTube searches and support don’t help then I’m not investing more time...

Posted .Hey, we are sorry to hear that you could not reach our support team. We would like to help you out on Facebook (http://m.me/HuePhilips) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/tweethue) This is where we offer 24/7 support and aim to respond within 1 hour. Build in TV apps don't work because the content needs to pass through the Hue Sync box via a HDMI device.

A luxury but darn cool
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is really cool! It all depends on how many lights you have and where they’re located. Not to mention what you’re watching. But blockbuster movies are fantastic.

Great concept, just not ready for primetime, yet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the idea and concept, and initially it was working great... I watch everything via my AppleTV and the respective apps... I found with the NBA app, this device just simply couldn't keep up and was constantly just white, or off and then it would catch up through a viscous color cycle.. almost like buffering is... It worked well for movies, but I also noticed the buffering issue, so I ended up returning it. The fact it runs on a different app than the Hue lights is quite annoying as well, streamline it all into one app.

Waste of money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love the quality of all the Hue products but this was a real let down. You cannot stream from your tv. The sync box only inputs to your tv. You need to have a DVD player/ game system/ external device to sync your lights. You cannot stream from your tv! It is unclear in the description. When you have all of your streaming apps on the tv, it would be nice to use that with the Hue. This is the only device I’ve rated poorly from them and if it was fixed, it would be five stars.

Awesome home theater addition

Hue Sync Box
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super awesome device that lets you setup your entertainment zone for Hue Sync. Pairing with the Signe floor lamps and the gradient strip makes for an experience.
