Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K, Syncs up to 10 Hue Lights with Your Video Games, Movies, and Music, Requires Hue Bridge,Supports Dolby Vision HDR10+, Control with Hue App

I recently bought the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K on Prime Days Sale and paired it with my Hue Bloom and OmniGlow lights as TV accent lighting and it works perfectly! The colors sync beautifully with what’s on screen, creating a really immersive experience for movies and games.One of the best things is that it now supports 8K 60 fps and 4K 120 fps, so I can finally enjoy my PS5 Pro with full performance and responsive via ambience lighting on with no noticeable latency at all. It feels super smooth and immersive.What I also love is how functional it is. The Sync Box has 4 HDMI inputs, which freed up 3 HDMI ports on my TV since I can now plug all my devices directly into the box. Setup was simple, and switching between inputs is fast and seamless.If you already have Hue lights, this box really takes your setup to another level. It’s a bit pricey but totally worth it for both the convenience and the incredible ambiance it adds!

Funciona como Apple TV 2022 128gb, PS5, XBOX Series X, al fin soporte 4k 120hz

Cost aside, this technology is really impressive. It works perfectly with all our Philips Hue lights (and Alexa), especially the gradient TV strip light, which I ordered before I realized I needed the Sync Box to sync it to my TV. So then we got the Sync Box, and I realized that it doesn’t support Smart TV apps - I almost gave up at this point. But then I tried using it with our Amazon Fire Stick, and it works PERFECTLY. It’s like magic. We have some pendant lighting in our kitchen that I added to the “entertainment scene” for movie nights, along with the tv gradient strip, a bloom lamp and another Hue lightbulb/lamp in our living room. The sync box has 4 hdmi ports, and can support computers, phones, soundbars, cable boxes, almost anything you can plug into hdmi. The fire stick is an incredibly cheap device compared to the $500+ I had invested in the TV lights and sync box, so it’s funny that was the solution. Worth it!

El mejor hardware para tus luces detrás de la pantalla, no tiene delay como la app. El dolby atmos sin problemas y el dolby visión igual.

Such a fantastic addition to any movie night. We purchased it during October and it has alreadt elevated our scary movie experiences

Works great. I have mine placed between my A/V receiver and my 4k projector. I can now sync my lights with my Firestick, Nintendo Switch, PC, and whatever other video source I connect. My only complaint is that I wish there were more advanced settings. When one part of the screen is dark and the other really bright, the lights can ruin the scene, but this is probably only a major issue with projectors. Philips is just not very good with adding features and customizability within the Hue app.

Muy bien

Switched from govee to hue and love it. Works with my surround sound and 65" to create an immersive experience. Fairly easy to install and when I did run in to trouble Philips customer support was quick to respond and get me squared away

Pricey. Caught it at a discount. Love the box though. Glad I didn’t pay full retail for it.

Muy buen producto cumple con todas las especificaciones que tiene al principio, por alguna razón, me empezó a tener un retraso al poner una película, pero después de unos 15 minutos se normalizó y puedo ver la película sin pausas

Why did you pick this product vs others?:It is unfortunate that this is the only out of the box solution to match your TV lights with the content on your TV without using an ugly camera.  Pros: (alleged setup is easy and seamless)Cons: the "Pros" is a lie.Out of the box everything worked perfectly.  DolbyVision support and image quality were not impeded upon.  Colors matched perfectly in real time.About a week after setting up Phillips pushed out an update that interrupted the CEC signal setup on all of my devices.  It sent fault EDID handshakes back to the TV and would change the TV input.  I was unable to watch 30min of a show before the TV would change with no remote interaction and interrupt my viewing experience.Phillips Support has yet to provide me a solution, or an update on when they plan to deliver a stable new firmware to fix this.However if you got this far I have a solution for you:Receiver -> 4k @120Hz Splitter input4k @120Hz Splitter output-> TV4k @120Hz Splitter output-> Hue Sync Box -> 4K dummy HDMI sink (choose the same port # on the Sync box that the Splitter plugs into the TV [if your eARC on the TV is HDMI2 then plug the splitter out into HDMI2 on the Sync Box - This will negate any faulty handshake from the sync box, disregard what Phillips says about using HDMI4 if you are doing passthrough, none of their KB articles work.] Also it goes without saying make sure ALL your HDMI cables are at the very least HDMI 2.1If you do not LOVE fighting with entertainment system troubleshooting, this device may not be for you, first because the setup may be easy, but the failure rate is HIGH and the support response time from Phillips is painfully slow.I ended up buying an additional $150 worth of product to fix/bypass their horrible firmware update.  This resolution is fool proof of their firmware SNAFU, but it is an additional necessity if you have a setup that is more than a TV and a Sound Bar.

I had the original Philips sync box & this one is a great upgrade. Not only being able to game now at120hz but the box seems more responsive & the colours even more accurate with what is being displayed. Very happy customer

Replaced old model with 8k version. Fixed all complaints I had about older model. Dolby vision, UHD blu-ray and auto start all work flawlessly . Setup was a little tricky but most things are with niche products
