Don't Believe the Hype (Lytmi Fantasy 3 Review) 

Must have watched over 10 reviews for this product. I loved yours the best. Subscribed!

Great review! Answered every question I had and more! You got yourself a sub.

I'm planning to get either the Ai sync box or T2 for my 65 inch Samsung S90C tv that is connected to Samsung q600 soundbar. My usecase is for watching RU-vid content and movies on various streaming services like Netflix, prime etc. Which one should I go for?

So what product would you recommend in place of the lytmi fantasy 3?

I deleted my last post because I finally got my Fantasy3 working... My question is whats the best wall color behind the tv to get the best overall effect? Or what colors should i avoid?

Thank you for this review. I had a diy Hyperion Ambilight for years. Now I’m watching on 100“ projector and looking for a out of the box setup. Since two years I‘m waiting for Lytmi getting their nice setup working fine. But they don’t get it to a good out of the box experience.

I have the same TV / PS5 setup and can't get video to display from my PS5. When I plug the HDMI in, I see PS5 video for a second, before the TV "optimizes" things and goes black. Am I missing any obvious settings here?

Hey I hope u can answer my question. So I know the box don't have cec, but. What if I go with hdmi from hdmi out ( av receiver) in hdmi sync box IN and then output from sync box to tv.? So the Idea is, sources I switch on Av Receiver (not the app) and out it from av receiver in the sync box and then in the TV. I used it this way with the old dreamscreen ambilight and it works.. Till 120hz and vrr and vlls and cec :) But my hope is the hdmi ports are just pass-throughing the signal so cec comes from tv and just pass-through the box and turns on av receiver. What do u think could that work in any ways?

Thanks for the review, got my sub. I just ordered one yesterday but now I'm thinking about canceling my order an just build a DIY Project with HyperHDR, got all hardware on my list already and would save a few bucks, but in exchange i gonna have a few hours work to do. Just hoped to get a all in one solution that just works, with the self build i have a lot of different components behind the TV to install.

Need more honest reviewers like you! Good job!

Hi Rudy, Thank you for the video. When you installed the Lytmi LED strip on your LG TV, since it is a flush mount look did the bottom strip behind the TV touch the wall? Do you have a picture of your set up from the back of the TV?

Totally appreciate the honesty but, Wow.... Im sad that you had this experience!! Almost none of this happened to me. The only things that have happened to me is 1)the color issue with HDR. However, I found a small workaround for that. But, it requires you to have a previous version of the tv lights. Just plug the HDMI from the fantasy3 into the input on the previous box and the colors correct themselves. I was having the same issue and it was driving me up a wall!! I had to figure something out... Lol. My only issue now is that i still get a very light blue for dark scenes or dark sections of a scene. But thats minor in comparison to the colors being completely off. I hope this helps someone thinking about getting this. 2) The other thing is that it takes a second for the firestick (which is in the HDMI slot) to pop up. But thats because the firestick goes into a sleep mode. All I have to do is hit the home button on the remote a few times and it switches back from either my Series X or the Ps5 to my HDMI1 (Firestick). But it does automatically switch back As far as the CEC, I can turn the box (TV lights) , my TV, & the surround sound on and off with my firestick remote as well as control the volume, just fine. There's a sync tv option in the app. I turned that on, as well as the cec on my tv, firestick, and surround sound and everything comes on and goes off with the press of a button. Try it out. Hope this helps with your sync issues if you're still using it. As far as the sound, I havent had that issue to try to troubleshoot it.

I’m assuming the govee t2 is the best option for people that use streaming apps that are built into their TV. These boxes don’t work with those right? I think the new lytmi outperforms govee but that’s a huge downside

I just want it cuz my tv has only one 2.1 port and I think it’ll multiply it.

Al those complaints but how are the colors of the LEDs are those working great?

Does airplay work with this? I heard it doesn’t, pls answer this is a make or break for me bc sometimes I like to airplay to my tv for bigger screen. Pls answer

Is it maybe worth asking them to send you the pro version of this to see if it resolves any of the issues?

Is it only me that this shocks? in HDR red is orange, yellow is fluorescent, white in the dark is blue... for my part I find that HDR is bad in color management.... personally I made an Amazon return I don't don't pay to have saturated or truncated colors.

Would this work with hdmi output from a soundbar ?

Glad I watched this! No VRR or HDMI CEC? I'll hold off for a bit. Thank you!

As a tech savvy dude, I got burned by the marketing/my ignorance on this. This probably gonna sound stupid but I thought the hype was that it didnt need through put to work. Having to hook up an external Google TV to my Sony X900E that already ready has it was a bummer.

Does anyone know if this sync box supports 1440p?

are you still using it ? still facing those issues ? i'm considering buying one of those, and you're the first i see facing those problems so i've been wondering if you had a defective product or if the whole production is just no good.

I bought this piece of crap and connected it to my xbox and my tv via hdmi cables. Both devices are connected through 4k 60hz hdmi ports. Yet the lights dont work with the tv. they only work when i use it with my xbox.

Thy have now the pro version that supports VRR and ALLM

Thanks for your review. Helps me to avoid it for now and wait for the products in this space to develop and mature.

İ forget. İ also use the Light bars with the app. Sorry i see that you also used it 😅. Perhabs the Fantasy 2 works better than the Fantasy 3 🤷

I had the pro version of this pre-ordered that has VRR and ALLM but this video has persuaded me to cancel it lol

I am having so many issues with mine too, and the promised updates I don't even know if they ever released an update to it. Everytime I turn mine on, the screen flashes like 8 times, turning on and off, until i can finally see the image, it's very annoying, happens with Google TV or Series X or PS5. Sometimes it happens longer, sometimes its shorter. Colors with HDR are super off. The app is really bad. and I know i had more issues, i just dont remember exactly right now, I cant recommend this.

you havelike for dead space

Honestly it’s INSANE that TV’s don’t already have this tech available for TV’s…… some people just want immersive movie watching and not buy a 77” G3 to watch CNN news 💀

Problem #1 - you are using an iphone...thats it...this product works great for me.

I wasn’t here to learn about blue light I was here to learn about lytmi, first 5 min was a waste of my time.

Hey why do you erase my comments?

So all lights are shit cause phillips wasn't any better

Sorry but your Setup is crap. And the Problems might come of the bad air conditioner. This 4 times HDMI 2.1 is such a high tech that it needs to be cooled. I had no issue at all

Was this the pro model or the regular
