@@KeyserTheRedBeard thanks, and that’s a great question. With all the rebalances I don’t think it will affect much inside the raids seeing as how the bosses all have unique resistances. This raid required people to think differently since the majority of players were bloodied and I myself was bloodied for about 4 years. I think for the next raid it will require people to use the new ghoul feature coming out next year. Nobody know how to counter the ghoul yet seeing as how it’s not released, but it’s just being added into the PTS now so I’m sure we will hear about it soon!

Only if the apps are being fed through the box via HDMI so you will need a fire stick, Apple tv or Roku

@vybz6502 Thank you

@@Sincer3 You're welcome

@@Sincer3 yes it does work with these apps as long as you are viewing them from a HDMI device plugged into the sync box e.g. PS5. It won’t work if you are using Netflix directly from a smart tv app as it’s not passing through the HDMI sync box

@@finnaflexofficial Thank you bro!

@@MicheleLanari doesn’t work on native TV sorry it only works with HDMI devices

Nope just use Apple TV

@@ferrari2000g I don’t know what a Fury Vroom box is but yes it does act as additional HDMI 2.1 ports. In my Sony TV the box plugs into 1 of my 2 available HDMI 2.1 ports. On the TV it uses the picture and colour settings for that particular HDMI port. The box then splits it into 4 available HDMI 2.1 ports all with the same picture and colour settings

@@finnaflexofficial auto switching ?

@@gstevenson7781 This is 100% due to the settings you had selected on your devices or TV. I’ve had 0 issues with Apple TV 4K or PS5 which is important as we have the exact same devices, but different TVs. On some new Sony TVs like mine, if you want Dolby Vision to work you have to go into the external input settings on the TV, then HDMI signal format, and turn off VRR as VRR is a feature locked only into the TVs Game mode and it disables Dolby vision by using it. The box has nothing to do with that though, that’s just the limitations of some TVs. Some TVs need the Apple TV Box to be set to 4:2:2 chroma in the settings because they have VRR enabled instead of high colour grading. The sync box is working as it’s supposed to, it’s just the TV settings thats the issue in 99% of cases

​@@finnaflexofficial I have the box connected to an LG c2 and I have the same problem of micro cuts with my Ps5 Pro. I have not tried what you say about disconnecting the VRR. But then what sense would there be in disconnecting when we just bought it for the freedom of frames at 120hz. Has it happened to anyone else? My cables are latest generation 2.1.

@@finnaflexofficial Another question I want to ask you is if there is any special port for gaming. For example, I have my Fire TV on port 1 and the PlayStation on 2.

As far as I can tell, not a single one of these sync boxes hasn't got issues, I got the Fancyleds HDMI 2.1 Syncbox and it can be amazing but then you realise things like the PS5 needs to have it's video transfer rate set to -1 which downgrades the output from RGB to YCBCR in order to stop loss of signal when loading into games or watching films, it also stops TV Led Dolby Vision from working and so limits it to the lower quality Source Led version amongst other niggles. You can easily tell if the box is affecting Dolby Vision on LG sets by repeatedly pressing the green button to bring up the VRR information window, it will show you either RGB 8 Bit or YCBCR and I'd be interested to know whether this expensive piece of equipment suffers from this also.

@@Boyer316 so what the hue sync box 8k is better than fancyleds?

Not really, a Hi Sense TV is a shitty product, this is not lol.

@@robertcowan9398lol right. Why is he comparing this to a Hisense?!? 😂

If you own a Hisense TV, you are not the target audience for this product 😅

Well if it supported Dolby vision why in his Apple TV did it not show it ? If the Apple TV was in Dolby vision it would not allow you to choose the Chroma 4:2:0 or 4:2:2 because Dolby vision removes that setting if ur Apple TV is in Dolby vision and no body is talking about this expect I found one other thread on Reddit that Dolby vision on Apple TV not working with the sync box

@@_ST4KZ_ as I said I had govee before and it sucks and gets the colours wrong all the time. On my screen there would be yellow and it puts out purple for no reason. Philips lights do way more for gaming you can even make it so when you fire your weapon the lights flash yellow from the muzzle flash. The lights match whatever is coming through HDMI so the screen turning red from blood on the screen is literally standard for any lights

@@finnaflexofficialtry and use the new govee sync box

Syncing is free if you have pc.

Overpriced yes.. but non other options does it out stupid cameras wires needed.

@@ALI-soon1Milli you don’t even notice the camera once it’s up there after awhile. Paying 4x as much for something that does the same thing with less features is wild

​@chrisedwards5447 you don't notice a hole in the wall either 😅😅😅😅

If you think the camera type light sync is on the same level as Phillips actual sync box, you have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about. The camera based system is dog shit compared to the actual sync box. It lags so badly , and is so off as far as color matching exact spot, the performance isn’t any where near the same. The camera based system is fine if you don’t have t the money, but if you can afford it, the performance is 10x better with Actial sync box.

@@tuborice4571 yes but you have to connect the audio receiver onkyo system to HDMI 4 on the sync box and enable Dolby passthrough in the Philips hue app advanced settings

@@finnaflexofficial would that still be earc?

@@tuborice4571 yes the setting name is literally called ARC/eARC passthrough

@finnaflexofficial ah, so i put the hdmi in the 3arc on the box then pass through to the arc on my tv. I watch a lot of plex for my films. I guess I do that on the ps5 plex app to get the ,ights to kick in

You're better off using the AVR's Monitor Out 2, and running a second HDMI cable to the sync box. That way you don't have to leave it on at all times.

I can't test it as my home theatre system does not have Dolby Atmos, but it does say in the product sales page under the specifications tab that the new Sync Box 8K does indeed support Dolby Atmos

@@finnaflexofficialthanks for your immediate response! Let’s see if someone else manages to reproduce the reported scenario and inform us.

@finnaflexofficial It just came up to me another question regarding the sync box. Do the devices preserve the capability to control the tv when connected to the box (the TV is turning on by just turning on the tv?) Testing scenario: Connect the Apple TV to the Philips box and the Philips box to the tv via the HMDI 2.1 port of the tv. Switch off the Apple tv and the tv Switch on the Apple TV Does the TV turns on also? Additionally try to change the volume using the Apple TV remote Does the volume of the TV change also. Switch off the Apple TV Does the tv turn off also?

@@sokratis9549 yes it preserves the HDMI CEC function, nothing will change with your CEC devices. When I turn my Apple TV device on, even through the sync box, it still powers on the TV automatically. You can also set the sync box so that the lights automatically turn on and begin syncing as soon as the tv starts up. The Philips hue app is great it also remembers your sync settings for each device, for example if you set your PS5 to game mode it will preserve that whenever the PS5 is turned on. When you turn on the Apple TV it will automatically switch back to video mode and remember whatever light intensity you had selected on that mode.

@@finnaflexofficial thanks a lot for your response! Nice to know that this feature is preserved, I believe this is important for many users.

@@aaronluna198 Sony A84K

@@XO.Clinic that’s correct since the native tv smart apps do not use HDMI ports and the sync box is only working through HDMI

I was wondering the same. As long as the box does not support, I don't find it usefull.

@@MARBOOMUSIC there’s a hue sync native app on Samsung tvs now, seems way more versatile than a box. We have a ps5 but Netflix on ps5 doesn’t support Dolby atmos and vision so it would be pointless.

@@MARBOOMUSICi m not an apple guy, but the apple tv 4k is the best TV streaming device i’ve owned. it’s ridiculous fast, better quality in picture and sound than the native TV OS and apps. better updates AND no ads is imo the best thing of the small box.

@@rjboodell yes it supports all types of HDR including Dolby vision, HDR10 and HDR10+

So did the last one but full Dolby vision was botched and not available through any format - Apple TV, bluray etc. if you test this out it’s important info for people to know

@@rjboodell it worked fine for me in the past but I just googled it and apparently some people with AVR receivers can’t get Dolby vision as some older AVR units don’t support Dolby Vision passthrough. I don’t know if that helps or if you have an AVR? But I would never promote it or talk about DV in my videos either as Dolby Vision sucks in general and should be avoided at all costs. I highly recommend ditching Dolby Vision entirely and disabling it on your TV and going with HDR10+ instead. I have it disabled on my TV just like this. There is a reason all modern devices including phones use HDR10+ as a standard. Using DV the colours look way too dark, it reduces your TV brightness for a silly dramatic effect that doesn’t work well with the majority of movies (and definitely not in video games), and the colours are washed out and look much darker and duller in an effort to create another silly looking dramatic effect. Its appeal is limited to a very select few movies. This is the opposite of what High Dynamic Range was built for. On the flipside with HDR10+ (used as default on modern laptops, PS5, Xbox, iPhones, Androids, and websites like RUclips) it makes your scenes brighter, the colours pop more and the colour pallet looks far better. It’s all down to personal preference but I have never met a single person that prefers Dolby vision. All Playstation AAA video games do not even support Dolby vision for this reason as it makes everything look bad. The top tier content games like The Last of Us, and Horizon Zero Dawn all use HDR10+. If you have a quick Google of ‘Dolby Vision washed out’ it will explain it. There are many threads on Reddit with users saying it makes things look worse and they actually thought their TV screen was broken with DV turned on. Considering Dolby are a huge company in the industry, they really screwed themselves over with Dolby vision and its overall support

I have no idea sorry! Even after googling this I still don’t have an answer. My home theatre system is a single optical cable straight to the TV so none of that EARC stuff required. From what I know from owning the product though, there is an option for EARC bypass in the Philips hue app advanced settings options that allows audio passthrough. Not sure how it works with HomePods and other connections though seeing as the bypass feature is exclusive only to the HDMI4 slot on the sync box. Might be a case of doing it the opposite way around and having your devices plugged into the TV for audio and somehow fed into the sync box the reverse way. Hopefully someone else has the answer you are looking for, but if I were you I would email Philips customer support and ask them. That way if it doesn’t work correctly when you make your purchase you can always get a refund and say that the customer support guys mis-sold you the product under the pre-tense that it would work 🤣

@@finnaflexofficial thanks man! 🙏🏻 Keep up the good work!

Its back in stock I just ordered

And back in stock again, I just ordered as well

@ Sweet, enjoy!!!!

I would say so yes. You can buy the gradient lightstrip and set it to any colour and use it as an ambient wall light for the TV. It has a couple of special effects also on the app like fireplace mode and candle mode where the lights will pulse and flicker. But without the sync box the lights won’t match what is on your screen. With the sync box it makes your TV feel bigger than it actually is

@@kyleworrall yes it supports both ARC and EARC and all other AV receivers on the HDMI4 slot of the sync box. Instructions on how to set it up are on the Philips hue sync box support website if you want to see how it works before you buy it

Hi! I’m considering to buy a sync box…. For the price do you recommend to buy the 4K ? Cause to my knowledge I do not know any movie that goes more than 4K 60hz…. Thanks for your help!!!

It can be done with no problem. You plug the AVR cable into the sync box, it specifically has to be in HDMI4 on this new version of the sync box. Then in the hue app on the sync tab there is an advanced settings option to allow AVR passthrough

@@GhostOfSparta305 thank you! Wish they were cheaper but they are awesome!
