Price is a bit steep. It should really be linked to the hue account and not the TV.

@jaimywieanders3613 4 месяца назад

I agree for this reason alone i will skip it.

@Louisz14 Год назад

I think it should be free to the people that owns the hue synch box that cost 200 and use it at anytime!!

@BlackWhisper29 6 месяцев назад

That’s what I don’t really understand. The hdmi sync box is basically the sync app, but more expensive? Don’t they basically do the same thing? The only difference I could find is that the box also has a music option. I’m still not sure which one I should buy.

@travissmith7195 5 месяцев назад

@@BlackWhisper29The sink box won't do the image on the screen unless you have like a fire stick connected to it. So I mean it's not ideal either, but at least you don't have to buy it again when you get a new TV. I have the sink box and just bought a Samsung TV and was thinking about it but I just can't bring myself to paying another hundred and something dollars

Thank you for doing a video in English, I found it really helpful.

@jgs4819 Месяц назад

As a first time buyer I was going to choose the sync box, because of it not being locked to one TV, but then I learned that the sync box, still needs an expensive ‘’firestick’’ to work. So I’m going with the App. The money that I save on the App vs. Sync box + Firestick, saves me enough money to buy 2 more licenses for furture televisions.

@tgteslaweekly Год назад

As a buyer of the Hue Sync Box and a recent owner of an Xbox Series X console, I am deeply offended and disappointed by the behavior of Philips Hue. Not only does the firmware update for the hdmi box stop at 4k 120hz signal support, but even by releasing an application it makes you understand that it's not a hardware issue but simply a software one. From my point of view Philips Hue should provide the app for free to the owners of the Sync hue box or should allow them to buy it for a maximum of 49 Dollars

@RaudiRaul 8 месяцев назад

Great video! I was very curious about this app and turns out it works on my 2022 Samsung OLED!

@yamahaplayer Год назад

I dont understand why people keep asking if the app is compatible with their TVs while the man and video description clearly states the app is for 2022 and later model Samsung TVs.. Good review by the way. But way pricey. I already have hue sync box but could buy the app for the benefit of 120hz support if it was cheaper. And it is absolutely ridiculous to use the app on only one TV. What if my tv gets broken and Samsung cant fix it and changes it with a new one?

@neeemogaming9450 Год назад

@EinKlangmusic 29 дней назад

Hi. Top Video! Ich war, als ich gelesen hab, dass die Sync Box nicht mit dem Internen TV signal funktionieren, natürlich abgeneigt vom Kauf, da ich meinen Samsung außschließlich mit den Apps auf dem Tv benutze. Jetzt wo ich von der Lösung weiß, hol ich mir die App aufjedenfall und leg mir die Lights strips und co einfach ohne die Sync Box zu 👍👍. Brauch ich trotzdem noch die bridge oder geht das auch nur, so wie ich es jetzt benutze über Bluetooth?

@c0mbat15 Год назад

£100 plus £180 for the gradient strip for a 65" TV! For some lights!!! That's crazy. Surely it would make sense just to give the app away for free as it would generate more sales of the lights. I don't know a single person who has a light strip for their TV so you'd think they would want to generate some sales?

@michaeljafnhar5842 Год назад

The only benefit Philips TV have over others is their integrated Ambilight. If they would give away the app for free, and sell the lights for dumping prices, nobody would want to buy a Philips TV anymore. They would ruin themselves. Would make no sense whatsoever, from a business perspective. I think it is already generous enough of them to allow other brands to integrate/use the only thing that sets their TVs apart from others, Ambilight (Samsung App, Syncbox), even if it is for a steep price.

@grat02220 10 месяцев назад

@@michaeljafnhar5842 Except Philips TV manufacturer and Philips HUE manufacturer are not the same Philips. Ambilight TV belongs to TPV, the HUE system (lights, syncbox and the application presented in this video) belongs to Signify. Add the fact that for stupid business reasons, Ambilight TVs from 2023 don't have integrated HUE compatibility anymore (you must use a syncbox with these models).

Unable to find the Hue Sync app on my region's App Store, I decided to change regions. I own the UEC75CU7100UXTK (likely the CU7000D model) and attempted to switch to both the USA and Germany regions without success in locating the app. As a last resort, I created a Samsung USA account, performed a reset, and set up the TV with the USA region and account. However, the Hue Sync App still doesn't appear in the App Store search. Do you have any suggestions on how I can successfully install and run it? Thanks.

@augustogalindo8687 11 месяцев назад

@AndreiTheVampire Год назад

Thanks for this video. It helped me decide to return my unopened sync box and just go ahead and download this application on my new Samsung. The one downside I can say is that I have to exit applications like Netflix to open the Philips hue sync app to make adjustments to the brightness or intensity. I wish I could do that from my phone, without interruption what I’m watching. Would be nice for it to be seamless like that. Another interesting thing.. I like to have the intensity all the way down and the brightness at about 40%. Seems super distracting when the intensity is higher than that.. anybody else run into that? Just curious what everyone else’s experience has been with this tv app so far, since it’s so new. Cheers
