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

Fantastic upgrade
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!

Apple TV Users Beware!!
We have been very happy users of the original 4K version of this product for the last five years. It worked flawlessly . . . until it died. Given that we’d had two of them in five years, you could say they weren’t made for the long term. That said, we really enjoyed these on almost a daily basis as part of our whole Hue ecosystem. After returning from vacation, our latest one wasn’t working. The TV signal would just cut out and behave erratically. Once we determined the Sync box would need to be replaced, we learned ours had been discontinued, and we would need to pay significantly more for this newer 8K version. So we bit the bullet and did it. We stream everything through our Apple TV 4K. After hooking up the new Hue Sync 8K, the picture just blinked constantly, like so many other users complaining about flickering. No matter which HDMI we used on the TV or the Hue Sync, it only blinked faster or slower. It was literally unusable. Customer service was of little help, and we quickly ran out of options. I bought all-new 8K HDMI cables throughout, just in case, but it made no difference. I returned this box to Amazon and ordered a replacement. The problem was the same with the replacement. Then I read that some people were having success with using an HDMI splitter for gaming, so I paid another $50 for the needed HDMI splitter. It took quite a bit of configuring (not for the tech-adverse) on both the EDID settings and also the Apple TV settings, but we were able to get a signal and make the lights work. However, it caused havoc with our sound system, causing confusion for the TV in picking the proper audio output, and also caused the TV to turn itself back on after powering down the Apple TV. After a week of fiddling, it was just too much of a headache. I cannot recommend this Sync box to anyone, much less those using an Apple TV. Phillips has dropped the ball with this product – it is just not ready for market. Instead, we bought the Govee HDMI 2.1 Sync Box 2 and had it hooked up within minutes. Works just like our old Hue Sync, was cheaper, and the app isn’t bad either! Govee for the win!

Next-Level Immersion for Gaming and Movies
The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 8K is a game-changer for enhancing entertainment setups. With support for 8K at 60Hz and 4K at 120Hz, it ensures smooth and vibrant visuals. The real-time syncing of Hue lights with on-screen content creates an immersive experience that’s hard to beat. Setup is straightforward, especially with the improved Hue app integration. While it requires a Hue Bridge and compatible lights, the end result justifies the investment.

Great for movies and gaming
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

Absolutely Fantastic !!!! It took a bit of work to set it up correctly with my 85 inch Samsung TV but the effects are stunning and well 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.

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
