Love this review, thanks so much. I’ve just invested in the Govee AI sync box with two Lyra lamps and I believe the same switcher works there too. I’m connecting the Apple TV 4K latest version, PS5 and Nintendo switch to an LG Oled which supports 120Hz 4K, HDMI 2.1. Am I right understanding that it’s pointless trying to achieve the 2.1 HDMI with the Apple TV as it’s only going to reach 120Hz for gaming? Also are there any alternative switches which do the same. £100 is a bit steep to add the 2.1 HDMI to the PS5. Thanks so much in advance for the advice.

@Eric-zy6et 6 месяцев назад

HDMI 2.1! Here b/c I'm gonna try this setup with the Govee AI box and I'm hoping you can validate my plan: Xbox Series X going into the splitter and from there to the my XR-77A80J's HDMI port 4 for the 4k 120hz. The second output in the splitter will go to the Govee sync box. My UltraHD blu-ray player and cable box will go straight into the Govee sync box. And the Govee's output will go into the TV's HDMI port 2 (since those devices don't *need* 120hz). I'm going to run a cable from the XR-77A80J's HDMI port 3 (the only one that's EARC-enabled) straight to my soundbar. Does this all check out? And follow-up: Do I need HDMI 2.1 for all? I may need one more wall-rated cable that's over 10feet to sort this all out. Any recommendations on those (I know 2.1 over 10' isn't recommended). Thanks!

@geekstreet This looks promising but I wonder what happens with Dolby Vision signal. It is a well known fact that the Philips Syncbox is unable to sync lights on a Dolby Vision signal, so I was wondering if this setup fixes this issue too (essentially the question is whether the HDMI splitter can somehow "remove" the Dobly Vision layer so that the Philips Syncbox can be fed a non Dolby Vision 1080p signal). Did you try any Dolby Vision output from your Xbox on your tests? Would be nice if you have feedback on this!! Thanks!

@insertnamehere8723 7 месяцев назад

Having a hdmi 2.1 capable TV and console, the limitations of the sync box are becoming ever more apparent. To me personally, it just seems like philips have given up on the syncbox and are doing nothing to improve the experience without customers needing to jank together workarounds. It's almost 5 years and they have not bothered updating the sync box or at least decreasing the sync box price since. At this point, I'm starting to question whether or not the lights are worth the hassle for such a high barrier of entry to get this all to work.

@SeanLazer 6 месяцев назад

Yeah I was thinking about buying this but this all seems like a massive hassle.

@insertnamehere8723 6 месяцев назад

@SeanLazer don't get me wrong, when it works, it works great. Otherwise, the setup process can be a pain in the ass in addition to the price of all the components and the aforementioned limitations - and thst isn'tgetting into voice assistant integration issues at times. Just as a side, for some reason, I get intermittent cutouts from the sync box and have to reset it by turning it on and off. If I didn't know better, it is like they are trying to push customers to their ambilight TVs, but I'm not gonna give up my objectivley superior TV for bias lighting. No way!

@stevenvanpelt486 6 месяцев назад

@@SeanLazer Same here. At first I got a heart attack when seeing the price of the complete kit (hub + sync box + light strip), but if I could just put it between my AVR and the TV without any hassle, it would be worth it. However, after reading into it, it became clear that this is just a legacy device which unnecessarily complicates things and introduces more hassle than it's worth.

@davellanos1824 6 месяцев назад

Fellows, just to give my two cents here, the HSB has been given an update a few months ago, and even with this the device has some limitation as for the 120 requested. Thus, you have two options; go the route that it has been presented on this video getting a workaround using the suggested set up, or skip on HSB altogether as they launch at tne beggining of the year, the HUE SYNC APP FOR SAMSUNG TV (selected model from late 2022 and more on 2023), you still need the hue brige and lights around the tv and also the hue account as well, I think, but once it is set up there is no lag or workaround needed as everything that is shown natively on the Tv set (obviously it will work with you built in Apps) will sync with the lights around thus avoiding all the hardware issues, so whichever the content shown will be able to sync without any hesitation. You can obviously check if it is an option for you pricewise and if it is go for it and refer to their website for this hue sync app for samsung to have more details if needed, but so far it would be the best option as to avoid cables, hardware woes, sources needed, and helps you out a bit, not much but a bit on your pockets. Once again this is a suggestion, and you made the decision as it is your hard earned money. Cheers.

@donnyvillan 2 месяца назад

They've definitely given up. I had a 2019 ambilight TV that didn't need a synch box, it was built in to the TV to control the lights. Upgraded to a 2023 version, without knowing they'd stopped the built in provision. So now if I want to synch lights to TV, I need a synch box at £230. No chance.

@flumps9069 8 месяцев назад

Just wondering if this setup would work with a multi hdmi in/1 out before the splitter?

@moislam79 2 месяца назад

Multi 2.1 HDMI inputs? Then I'd guess you need one of these splitters for each device! If it's just one 2.1 input (as in my case, PS5), then that goes into the splitter and the rest of the devices go into the other inputs on the sync box

@pupkin2006 День назад

@redrosecounty 6 месяцев назад

Great guide, thanks. Unfortunately I think I'd best wait for the 8k Hue sync box to hook up my gradient lighting. Using a PC with 4K 144Hz @10 bpc YCbCr444. Would suck to have gone through all the effort and money I did to get screens, cables, graphics cards capable of that only to lose it for some light effects. it's harder than you'd think to get 4K 144Hz AND 10bpc chroma 4:4:4: working flawlessly. Granted such high level colour settings is wasted on games since none are designed for it but I do a lot of art on my system and so I need to keep it where it is really.

@adamhoover3822 9 месяцев назад

For anyone who had similar issues I just fixed mine. I own both a ps5 and an Xbox series x with a 4k 120hz tv so I wanted to be able to use both at full capacity along with my hue sync system. How I accomplished this was similar to this creators but slightly cheaper. I bought two(2) hdmi splitters off Amazon from the same brand as his but half the price. I’m not totally sure what the difference between them is but I was able to get one for each system for the price of his one item. They have a 4K function and a 1080p downscale function which I used to plug into the hue sync box since you wouldn’t be seeing the output anyways. It’s a mess of wires but when it’s all said and done you’re able to switch seamlessly between both systems at full capacity and with your lights synced up to it as well

@johnrevill79 9 месяцев назад

Seems like a great way to address this issue right now! Presumably to add another source (ie a Sky TV box) I can just plug that in as another input source to thge Hue sync box? However, my concern would be the splitter is £110 and hue sync play £210 - given there is a single box solution in the works (ie hue sync play 8k) the cost of that is likley to be less than the combined current solution (and would also mean less clutter behind the TV...).

@GeekStreet 9 месяцев назад

Yes thats right just use the splitter for gaming and use sync box as normal for other inputs. I've been meaning to try this for a while but never got round to it until now.

It won't sync correctly since it would be treating the bottom of the TV as the "side" instead. If you want the bottom to be lit, you'll need either one or more additional lights, which you can then assign to the bottom center/bottom-right/bottom left in the app. Or all in one if you get a gradient tube.

Do you need a hue bridge to have syncbox? Does it work with built-in apps like Netflix & RU-vid and so on?

@GeekStreet 3 месяца назад

You'll need a bridge and no it this does not work with inbuilt apps

I want to sync for 4k 120 fps for my PC and my PS5, how do I do that? Do I need two splitters? Or are there any splitters with two inputs ? As per my understanding the PC/PS5 will go into the input and the output 1 for the TV is the 4k 120fps while the output 2 downscales to 1080p for sync lighting?

I have the same question. Have you figured this out?

Hi, just wondering if you can recommend similar spec of splitter that supports 4k 120hz and VRR on PS5 that actually works flawlessly?

If possible let me know if you find one! I'm doing a bunch of Internet sleuthing and can't seem to find anything concrete.

Yeah, switch to Govee or wait for Philip to drop the 8k SyncBox to release which was first shown in February this year. That SyncBox will have 4k120 if it supports 8k60hz.

Hello, is it obligatory to have the sync box to have such effect? it’s really pricy

@snapascrew 7 месяцев назад

Maybe I’m just dumb but how does the light bar know how wide your tv is and therefor what colors to put where on the strip stuck on the back?

@davellanos1824 6 месяцев назад

No question is dumb mate, we all learn, so the HUE APP, has the Sync tab area when you do the pairing process to set up the HSB it request for you to set up the Entertainment Area-EA- on that area, usually by default called TV AREA as it is where you would have the tv set, you are able to set up the position of the light on a 3d room therefore the HSB knows where each light is located in the physical world and can send the signal to the correct light to show the requested color inrelation to the content that is shown on the Tv set, hope this clears your question.

The PS5 only outputs RGB 8bit and The Xbox Outputs RGB 10bit that’s why when switching between consoles the spitter glitches!

@MrANTBIG 6 месяцев назад

do you need the hue bridge box if only your only doing the lights on the tv?

@davellanos1824 6 месяцев назад

The Hue bridge is the Hub of the system, if you want the syncing the you need the bridge, furthemore as these lights are designed for this purpose it is mandatory to have the bridge regardless to communicate with them, cheers.

@kingkilla192009 6 месяцев назад

So I used this for the pc. Followed along. But it still says my TV doesn't support 120hz at 4k. 1080p and below.

@HappilyInduced 4 месяца назад

If you want multiple devices running at 4k 120Hz (PC + PS5 for example), it will start looking like a spider web with more than one splitter, but unless they release a new box with native support for multiple 2.1 inputs, this will be the best we have for now.

@PilotBilly 6 месяцев назад

Hi, can anyone help. My hue sync box works fine with my TV inputs. It registers that my Xbox series X is connected on the Hue app, but it never displays the input it and doesn’t display any images. I have checked the refresh rate, HDR, 2.1 cables. But it won’t pick up the Xbox input at all. Just a blank screen.

@kevinvotaw2916 7 месяцев назад

would something like this work instead - "CABLEDECONN HDMI 2.1 Ultra HD 8K High Speed 48Gbps Directional Switch Adapter 2in 1out 8K@60Hz 4K@120Hz Converter Compatible with Xbox PS5 Projectors Monitors"? I love the hue experience but everything is sooo expensive, saving $120 on a splitter would be great..

Hi again, I purchased this hdmi splitter after watching your video but I just can’t seem to get it to work. Please, please would you have any advice on my set up? I have an LG C3 tv that supports everything it needs to and I’m using Sandstrom Gold hdmi cables that fully supports 8K, 4K, 2K and 1080p TVs. I have the Playstation 5 going into the hdmi IN port on the splitter and then a hdmi cable going from the 8K/CEC port on the splitter to the tv and then a hdmi cable going from the 4K/1080p port on the splitter going to the Philips sync box with the the splitter box set to 1080p on the OUT 2 switch and the EDID set to copy. With this set up the tv doesn’t pick up a signal and there’s no syncing of lights on the Philips hue sync box. Have I done something wrong or could it be that it needs a firmware update which btw isn’t available for the UK so I couldn’t do that either. Maybe I have misunderstood your video so if that sounds like I’ve set it up wrong I’d greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you 😊

@GeekStreet 2 месяца назад

Sounds correct what you've done, try clicking the select button on the splitter to flip between the different modes if that doesn't help contact the company I recon it's a firmware issue as the splitter should be capable of showing the picture.
