    Easy to plug and play. Haven't tried it with my Chromecast for tv yet but hope it works. Have it with my ps5 and words very well so far.

    This product works as expected. Love this box. I highly recommend anything from hue. You get what you pay for. Works really well with alexa. If you don't get this you’re missing out.

    I purchased this more as an HDMI switcher than for light sync. This from my testing is the best HDMI switcher havent had any problems compared to other 4k switchers.

    Extremely disappointed

    I have had this for less than a day and I will be returning it to the store very soon. I bought both the sync box and the 65” gradient strip for my LG 4K OLED tv and Denon AVR-3500h, PS4 pro setup, and the sync box is constantly loosing the signal. It’s lost the signal 4 times in the time it’s taking me to write this review. I thought it was me for a moment but after reading the reviews I’m glad that I’m not alone. This seems to be known issue due to a premature release. At almost $500 I won’t be contacting support nor am I interested in being a beta tester. When it works it works great but when it goes out it’s kind of a pain to get everything up and running again. Great concept just very premature. Hit me up when you have a product that’s fully functional and supports 4K hdr and maybe then I will try again.

    Yes, it's pricey. Yes, it's worth it, especially if you're already invested in Hue lighting. It works great and is simple to set up. We no longer miss the theater!

    Undwhelming at price point. Seperate app to use from rest of philips hue, updates to app constantly cause problems. Slow to respond. Inputs wont work unless you turn the box on

    I have to say that overall I’m disappointed in the inconsistency of the product. Sometimes it just stops working and you have to reset. This can get frustrating. We almost took it back.

    Let me just say, I love my Hue lights & I've been waiting MONTHS for the sync box to come back in stock. The second I was notified that it was available, I ordered it & not-so-patiently waited for it to arrive. The second I got home, I ripped it open & plugged it in. I was very excited to see this thing in action. Unfortunately we never got there. This thing WILL NOT connect to our wifi no matter what. Now we are not tech-challenged by any means. Our entire home is equipped with smart home devices. But this box made us look stupid. How hard is it to simply connect a device to wifi, right? WRONG. This thing is impossible & has frustrated us all night. I saw several reviews on here exactly like the one I’m writing & chalked it up to “oh, well that reviewer probably doesn’t know what they’re doing.” What I DIDNT check was the Hue Sync app reviews & let me tell you, they are awful. Had I seen those, maybe I would have realized what a widespread problem this is with this product. Boy did I learn my lesson. Maybe I got a defective one (along with 200+ others? Doubtful) I don’t know & at this point, I don’t care- it will be returned first thing in the morning. I would give it 0 stars if I could- I hate this stupid little box.

    Been waiting for Philips to release this and it works but it still needs some work. It does what its suppose to do but it overheats and it shuts off. I' suggest you wait for the next version. It's not there yet.

    I liked the idea of it and everything seemed great but to get the full experience you have to buy this product which you have to buy for more money when I thought you only had to buy the lights which is misleading
