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!

I was a little hesitant to upgrade at first because the original Hue Sync Box was already good, but after getting a new TV I decided to try this one — and the difference was immediate. Sync is noticeably faster, color accuracy is better, and everything feels smoother and more responsive. It integrates perfectly with my PlayStation, movies, and TV content, and it plays extremely well with my Sony TV. I use it constantly and honestly never turn it off anymore. In my setup I have eight lights connected: Play Bars, a Bloom, multiple A16 bulbs, and even an Ellipse Edison bulb. All of them respond instantly and stay perfectly in sync with no issues. Whether I’m watching something light and casual or diving into a dark movie or intense game, the lighting adapts beautifully to the mood. It even works as functional ambient lighting when I’m not actively paying attention to it. Setup was easy, features are well thought out, and gaming performance is surprisingly smooth and immersive. At first it takes a minute for your eyes to adjust when you start using synced lighting, but once you’re dialed in it becomes completely natural. It’s definitely expensive, but this is a true premium upgrade and absolutely worth it if you’re already invested in the Hue ecosystem.

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!

I recently started adding Hue lights into parts of my smart home environment, starting with the family room. I have used Hue lights previously as well as smart lights from a few different vendors. By and large, they all worked fine. I was looking to enhance the movie watching experience and cannot backlight the tv as it is mounted directly on the wall inside of an inset - so the tv fits perfect but otherwise no room. The device has 4 different HDMI inputs and 1 HDMI output. All of our video content, with the exception of a blue-ray player come from an Amazon FireTV cube. Both the FireTV cube and blue-ray player are plugged into a Denon AV Receiver and the receiver is connected to the TV. To make this work, all I needed to do was move the TV output into the HDMI input and plug the TV into the HDMI output. Note that it is always powered on so even if the lights are not on, the output signal is always delivered. I have a mesh network across the 2.4 and 5ghz bands - to get this set-up, I had to temporarily disable the 5g network. Once updated, installed and on the network, I re-enabled the 5g network and we were still connected! This is not an uncommon thing with a mesh network... most IoT devices only support the 2.4 bands. The Sync Box is not inexpensive - so I was curious if it was worth the money. I am not a gamer so that particular use case did not apply to me. With the lights installed I tried a few different phone based apps to make the lights dance to music. Those were super disappointing. Wiring this into my entertainment center blew everything else away! Lights dance to the music and they properly reflect the mood in a movie. There is an update available I have yet to try - so I will come back and update the review testing the new spatial map feature

I have the Hue sync app on my PC for my Hue gaming light's and decided to pull the trigger on this box to watch on my TV through my Apple TV 4K and wow, am I glad I did. I am surprised some people are having trouble with the set up. It only took me five minutes, but I am in the Hue ecosystem. All the lights and smart plugs in my house are Phillips Hue so I’m sure that’s why set up was very simple for me.

Been using this for a while now and it's been a pain connecting the thing right sometimes but once you do you're usually good. Thing is it recently started dropping the Dolby vision signal in the middle of gameplay ony series x. Only way to fix it was to unplug and replug the HDMI. I checked online and it said to try changing the HDMI cables so I did (Anker 8k) I also bought a router cooling pad from GSCOLER, a z-x3 and it stopped dropping the signal. Overall this ecosystem is expensive but it's worth every penny once it's setup. Pair this with the new bridge too. Lights are noticeably quicker to change color.

Picked this up as the centerpiece of a home theater build and it completely delivers. Running two Hue gradient tubes and two light bars synced to the screen — the result is immersive in a way that's hard to describe until you see it. Response time is fast whether you're gaming in 8K or watching movies, with no noticeable lag between screen and lights. It genuinely makes the room feel like a theater. Worth every penny for anyone serious about their home entertainment setup.

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!
