If I was any of the major TV manufacturers I’d be installing something like this natively in all my high end tv models. It wouldn’t be super expensive yet a huge added value, it would work with native tv apps and it would be a huge added value for gamers and moviephiles while even helping us all with our eyesight. Win/win 😃
Nobody wants to pay Phillips royalties to do it. Really wish someone would make an external version of the other Phillips TV, where it was backlight projectors which project the actual screen onto the wall
I just watched your last two videos on my TV, because I wanted to have my DreamView on while you did your review. My tech leaves something to be desired, but I'm not lugging that thing off the wall for an upgrade anytime soon. I'll just live vicariously through you 😜 Hopped on my phone to say your editing and B-roll is fantastic! Your stuff looks so professional and high quality. Your production looks better than some major game/tech sites. You could show those sites a thing or two 😉
They’re soooo close! If they can fix HDR and VRR via firmware I’ll upgrade my Govee setup to this that day. If not I’m probably going to wait for the next generation between this and Govee to give us an all on one hdmi 2.1 box. Great video!
Hi, I am looking to add this feature to my LG G2 77. However, I am not sure if it will be possible with either Philips Hue or Lytmi. Could you or anyone give your 2 cents 🤔
What you mean if they fix HDR and VRR? Didn’t these box work with ps5 in VRR mode? I have a ps5 and a Sony tv with VRR, I was looking for some good ambi light kit for my ps5 setup, can you explain something I need to know first? Thank you
The 3D textured wall tiles behind the television are much better than a plain flat wall. It provides visual relief. Clearly the way to go for home theater.
I love the idea of a sync box because of how accurate it is - but I hate that I can't use my native TV apps. I honestly like the native apps on my LG tv better than using the ones on my PS5 or Xbox. If a company could figure that out, I'd make the jump I think.
Keen to know how you go with that setup. I currently route my ps5 via e-ARC to a Samsung q950a from there to the TV. I'm concerned adding a synced backlit system might create lag.
@@nawb_84 I don’t think any lag would be perceptible. It’s a pass through system so it would be like having 2 monitors. What I ended up doing was taking all my HDMIs and hooked them to the Lytmi, then hdmi from that to hdmi port one on my Samsung tv. I connected an HDMI to the ARC port (HDMI 3) to my Samsung sound bar. When I hit the remote it turns on the tv and sound bar. Then I turn on the XBOX and open the app and turn on the lights.
For me and My LG c9 HDR and Vision don't work. I hear the support gives out a preview firmware update for Vision but another customer let me know after this preview update his Dolby Vision image got really worse and he don't use lytmi anymore
@@sirbaerias3456 Wow that is SUPER disappointing man. I started just watching things in 4k SDR and the colors are MUCH more accurate, but sucks wishing I was watching in HDR or Vision
@@salvarez01 yes. I can live with SDR for gaming but SDR movies are not so great. I will maybe buy the govee Envisual t2 camera set and hope I can get a refund for lytmi box
Same! I’m also holding back on the PS5 with hopes that a Pro version will release soon (unlikely). It’s be nice to be able to max out the functionality of my TV. No VRR and HDR concern me.
Any tips? I just bought one and tried movies , Series X and PS5, colours aren’t matching. Example , scenes with green grass or yellow/brown sand are still shows. As white on the LESs
How is it possible that the sync box and light strips show the correct colours when you're inside LG WebOS (13:23 min)? I thought it only works when the source passes through the HDMI? If that's not the case, and it somehow is able to get the lights to work with LG internal WebOS, why it doesn't work with LG internal apps like Netflix, Disney, or live TV?
I hope the box is more accurate than the 2.0 one, I would have a screen with red on it but the damn LEDs are either white, pink, or yellow. When you mentioned the HDR is making it yellow, this might be what happed to me! It’s the HDR not the box or the lights?
watch your video 4x's and im still confused about the splitter part can you break it down in dummy terms for me lol , Also notice you dont have the bars or just didn't show for this video . Basically, I bought both the strip and bars, but I noticed my bars are delayed, but like not syncing correctly if you do have the bars and are going to put a new video up to show how to fix the delay. I've ask others but they never reply you do thats why I like your channel
I already contacted Govee concerning the sync box for larger TV's with and 2.1 support. They stated that their version will come out later in 2023. So I am waiting for that.
So the only way to use vrr with that box would be to buy the ridiculous expensive hdfury vrroom? Bought the first iteration of the lytmi box. Sad to see they still haven't fixed hdr support. Or is it only on the ps5?
Hey, has the HDR been fixed? Wondering if I need a splitter. Also I run everything through an AVR so I'll probably just be going avr->lytmi->tv. I can live without earc but I can not live with mismatched colors in hdr10. I just ordered the lytmi pro with vrr and all, but I'd appreciate any info you have on this. Thank you
Man I wish they made these for 40 inch TVs. I have one of the most popular TVs this year the LG C2 42” and I can barely find any sync lights that fit it. I found 2 brands that fit it but they’re only HDMI 2.0… looks like Lytmi and Philips are making new ones but for 50 inch and bigger…
If thats anything like mh lytmi fantast 2 then The video preset is not a low reaction lev3l. What 8t does with my kit is it picks 9ne colour from the four sides of 5he hdmi 8mage and outputs a single different colour on each side. I have my kit set to recreation and around 20% diffusion. It closely matches the philips ambilight tv I had with those settings. I agree with you @ 6:42. It would be n8ce if there was a setting to have the back-light white at the lowest brightness instead of completely off. On the saturation though. My kit is different where some colours are over saturated. I was watching a film a few days ago where walls of a building was sand colour but the lights output dark orange. Some light greens output a blue colour or sometimes skin colour outputs dark red
I have a 75 inch tv in my bedroom and the wall showing on the sides of the tv are only 6-7 inches. Would this be a good idea to buy or would it look weird?
Thinking of using a 4 in 2 out 8k 60 splitter to send one feed to the TV and another to this sync box in a effort to get the lights without sacrificing much. Any feedback on this attempt? Will it still work perfectly with the HDMI sync box?
Try a 4 in 2 out 8K simultaneous splitter BUT run an hdmi 2.0 cable from the 8K splitter out to the lightbox. That alone” might” strip out the extra data that’s confusing the lights. If not then you may need to daisy chain it with an “intelligent downconverter” that will specifically strip out HDR
Hey man, great timing. If your Bose sound bar and TV have ARC support, you shouldn’t have any issues. Just don’t connect the sound bar directly to the box.
@@MrTekSuggest What's the correct order if both TV and soundbar support ARC? Console -> Lytmi/Govee -> Soundbar -> TV Will this setup work properly with native TV apps like Netflix? I mean - since signal from TV doesn't pass through Lytmi/Govee will the backlight react to image on screen while watching Netflix?
I already contacted Govee concerning the sync box for larger TV's with and 2.1 support. They stated that their version will come out later in 2023. So I am waiting for that.
I ordered my unit yesterday. I have a question though. I'm trying the Fantasy 2 Kit right now and the LEDs are very dark compared to my hue Gradient. Is it something you noticed with the Fantasy 3 kit? In your Video the LEDs look bright and vivid. My Fantasy 2 are dim with washed out colors in SDR and HDR. Also white appears blue-ish like on cheap LED stripes, and yellow is basically washed out green. I played the same footage like you and it is not even close. I wonders if there is a difference between the LEDs being used in the Fantasy 2 and 3 Kit
I’m wondering as how I would set up my surround sound with this sync box. Would I plug all of the devices into the surround sound then that into the sync box and then sync box to tv or all of the devices into the sync box then to the surround sound and then tv?
Great question ,maybe try both ways ,🤔,does look a great bit of kit a must ,also have a SS system and already have the Govee T2 ,or wait to see what Govee bring out in the UK 🤔
Did you find any answer for your question? I'm thinking about buying this or Govee AI Sync Box but I can't find any information if any of these boxes work properly with soundbars and native TV apps like Disney+ or Netflix :(
Can I use Lytmi just on my TV I don't have Play Sstation, XBox etc just a simple 65" LG 4K TV will these type of lites work just with and for a TV? thanks
Excellent video, but due to the mentioned limitations , I purchased the Govee T2 system instead. This has none of the issues you’ve described in this video.
Can you tell me how can I use this product on my tv as I have a bose lifestyle home theater system which only has 2.0 inputs. What would be the result of using lytmi and how do i best set it up? Thanks.
Hi, i currently have the lytmi neo sync box 2.0, and every time I play games, it keeps cutting out when im playing the ps5. It also keeps cutting out and saying "game mode" Do you have any of these problems when playing your games? If not, can you please let me know so I can upgrade my box, thanks
is it compatible on plex app running through NVDIA shield tv (2109)? how about with HDR movies on plex will I encounter the same problem you've had with ps5? Great video by the way!
Could you bypass the vrr and hdr issue by using 2 video outputs from a pc gpu. For example one hdmi out to tv 120hz vrr hdr and second hdmi out to lytmi. I theory this would allow you to run hdr and vrr on the TV an lytmi should work as a second display and may allow vrr and hdr to be switched on this output only.
Is the change of hdmi input done automatically when you turn on a device? (example I have device 1 on and I turn on device 2, does the box automatically switch to input number 2 or must I do it manually via the application)?
I received mine today and will set it up at the weekend. I'm wondering if I have to change the source via the app or does it switch source when you activate one like pressing something on the remote for that source? I'll only have my PC, Nvidia shield and my TV box connected to it.
I recently purchased this product and have installed it today. Everything works except my PS5. I can't get a picture or signal to the TV passing through the box. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there a setting I have to change on the PS5 for it to work correctly?
Hey man, this splitter won’t solve the HDR or VRR issue described. What it does is allow me to switch from the port running to the box to a separate port on the TV itself. When switching to the TV port, you can’t use the ColorSync. So in those scenarios I rely on the T2 camera base system. Definitely keep an eye out on my video publishing tomorrow morning covering sync boxes
Game mode doesn’t seem to work with the box. I get a black screen. My sync box is connected to an s95b. Are there settings that I need to turn off? Or is it not necessary to turn on game mode?
With your HDMI splitter how does that resolve the HDR on the PS5? The splitter sounds like it would resolve a lot of issues with sync boxes that do not pass though HDMI 2.1.
When I want HDR & VRR (for example), I simply don’t push the signal through the box. I use the splitter to utilize the HDMI port on the TV itself. In those cases I use my camera TV, backlight set up for dynamic lighting, which doesn’t hinder performance in anyway being that it’s an external system. Again, HDR does work with the box, but color is thrown off, which sort of defeats the purpose.
@@MrTekSuggestI’m so confused on this splitter. Can someone please dumb it down for me? What do you mean by “camera TV”? There is no camera anywhere with Lytmi.
I will maybe switch to Govee T2 because it is so enjoying that HDR and Dolby Vision don't work properly with my LG C9. The support is sooo slow with answering. I fellow C9 User stated he got a preview firmware update for the Dolby Vision update but this picture got worse. Not the lights but the picture because with the update they downgrade from Dolby Vision Standard to Dolby Vision low latency. He don't use the lytmi anymore because the worse image with the box.
Nah there's still problems with the camera system. I have the previous lytmi kit and govee kit. I will always rather the lytmi kit because its far more accurate and on a dull day with my curtains open the, lytmi kit works perfectly whereas the govee kit shows white on the top left corne where the ambient light is coming in the window but not shining on my screen.
Is anyone able to help? I’m using this Lytmi Fantasy 3 with my Series X, and it plays things like Netflix, Apple TV, and Amazon Video just fine, but every time I try to play a game I get a message that says, “weak or no signal”. I only get this message when I try to play a video game. I never got this message until I hooked up this Lytmi so I believe the Lytmi is the issue somehow. Does anyone know why I would be having this problem and how to fix it? Also, I have a Hisense U8H TV, and I’ve tried games like MW2, Read Dead 2, A Plague Tale Requiem, RE Village, and Atomic Heart, if it’s relevant. RD2 did come on once, but the Lytmi Fantasy 3 only showed green lights the entire time. Thanks in advance.
Can VRR support be updated via firmware? Also, does the lack of VRR support only pertain to backlight functionality, or does it also prevent the TV and console from utilizing VRR?
Pushing the signal through the box prevents the console and the TV from leveraging VRR. With my splitter set up I utilize a second HDMI cable from the splitter, to a port directly on the TV. (This allows me to get VRR, and all other features unsupported by the box) The Backlight will not work if the signal is not going through the box however. That is why I use a Second T2 Camera Backlight from Govee.
@@MrTekSuggest I appreciate your response! You got a follower out of it. This is unfortunate however. Is this something that can be patched via firmware update, or is this a hardware issue? Thanks again.
@@robertrussell4009 Good question, hard to call right now. My guess would be hardware. I’ve talked w/ Lytmi and I know that this issue among a few others are being looked into. But in terms of timing, it’s really hard to say. But it is a complicated matter, which is why other smart lighting brands in the space have not pulled it off to date.

Philips hue does 4k 60 and VRR.
just wish it was cheaper and available in the uk and for monitors
Does it have Earc?
Could you bypass the vrr and hdr issue by using 2 video outputs from a pc gpu. For example one hdmi out to tv 120hz vrr hdr and second hdmi out to lytmi. I theory this would allow you to run hdr and vrr on the TV an lytmi should work as a second display and may allow vrr and hdr to be switched on this output only.
Is the change of hdmi input done automatically when you turn on a device? (example I have device 1 on and I turn on device 2, does the box automatically switch to input number 2 or must I do it manually via the application)?
I have a Samsung UE65F9000 serie TV with HDMI 1.4, does it make any difference when i order a 2.0 or 2.1 HDMI version?
Dumb question, but do I have to connect my PS5 toh the lytmi hdmi box and from there to the TV? Or is this a separate out from the PS5?
I received mine today and will set it up at the weekend. I'm wondering if I have to change the source via the app or does it switch source when you activate one like pressing something on the remote for that source? I'll only have my PC, Nvidia shield and my TV box connected to it.
Hi just wondering can you run it through a AVR ?
I recently purchased this product and have installed it today. Everything works except my PS5. I can't get a picture or signal to the TV passing through the box.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Is there a setting I have to change on the PS5 for it to work correctly?
Great piece of kit. Shame it doesn’t go up to 120” ☹️
Can you provide us the details on HDMI splitter configuration?
Hey man, this splitter won’t solve the HDR or VRR issue described. What it does is allow me to switch from the port running to the box to a separate port on the TV itself. When switching to the TV port, you can’t use the ColorSync. So in those scenarios I rely on the T2 camera base system. Definitely keep an eye out on my video publishing tomorrow morning covering sync boxes
Game mode doesn’t seem to work with the box. I get a black screen. My sync box is connected to an s95b. Are there settings that I need to turn off? Or is it not necessary to turn on game mode?
What is link to the back drop behind the tv?
Thanks for you video . Do you know if this works with a amazon fire stick ??
I'd assume it works with any HDMI source
What size tv do you have?
Can I apply this to my samsung 65QN85B?
Does this allow Dolby Atomos?
Oh I'm getting this box
With your HDMI splitter how does that resolve the HDR on the PS5? The splitter sounds like it would resolve a lot of issues with sync boxes that do not pass though HDMI 2.1.
When I want HDR & VRR (for example), I simply don’t push the signal through the box. I use the splitter to utilize the HDMI port on the TV itself. In those cases I use my camera TV, backlight set up for dynamic lighting, which doesn’t hinder performance in anyway being that it’s an external system. Again, HDR does work with the box, but color is thrown off, which sort of defeats the purpose.
@@MrTekSuggest To clarify, VRR and HDR (color wise) work with a HDMI splitter correct?
@@NumairRana He is using the camera setup with the other hdmi cable :) So yes it must be
@@MrTekSuggestI’m so confused on this splitter. Can someone please dumb it down for me? What do you mean by “camera TV”? There is no camera anywhere with Lytmi.
List 9f all games being played please
How is this on the xbox series x what would you lose
I just bought a S95C 77” I heard that this might not work properly for the newer model TVs, I really want to buy one but i can’t afford to waste money
How do you like that s95c?
Does it support CEC?
I will maybe switch to Govee T2 because it is so enjoying that HDR and Dolby Vision don't work properly with my LG C9. The support is sooo slow with answering. I fellow C9 User stated he got a preview firmware update for the Dolby Vision update but this picture got worse. Not the lights but the picture because with the update they downgrade from Dolby Vision Standard to Dolby Vision low latency. He don't use the lytmi anymore because the worse image with the box.
Does anyone know if this sync box supports 1440p?
does it work on pc?
I mean they already fixed all the issues with a camera based setup. And now we're going back to all this limitations. Pointless if you ask me.
Nah there's still problems with the camera system. I have the previous lytmi kit and govee kit. I will always rather the lytmi kit because its far more accurate and on a dull day with my curtains open the, lytmi kit works perfectly whereas the govee kit shows white on the top left corne where the ambient light is coming in the window but not shining on my screen.
I mean they really haven't. Performance is clearly superior on the lytmi.
It's the best one yet but there's no VRR.
Is anyone able to help? I’m using this Lytmi Fantasy 3 with my Series X, and it plays things like Netflix, Apple TV, and Amazon Video just fine, but every time I try to play a game I get a message that says, “weak or no signal”. I only get this message when I try to play a video game. I never got this message until I hooked up this Lytmi so I believe the Lytmi is the issue somehow. Does anyone know why I would be having this problem and how to fix it? Also, I have a Hisense U8H TV, and I’ve tried games like MW2, Read Dead 2, A Plague Tale Requiem, RE Village, and Atomic Heart, if it’s relevant. RD2 did come on once, but the Lytmi Fantasy 3 only showed green lights the entire time.
Thanks in advance.
Can VRR support be updated via firmware? Also, does the lack of VRR support only pertain to backlight functionality, or does it also prevent the TV and console from utilizing VRR?
Pushing the signal through the box prevents the console and the TV from leveraging VRR. With my splitter set up I utilize a second HDMI cable from the splitter, to a port directly on the TV. (This allows me to get VRR, and all other features unsupported by the box) The Backlight will not work if the signal is not going through the box however. That is why I use a Second T2 Camera Backlight from Govee.
@@MrTekSuggest I appreciate your response! You got a follower out of it. This is unfortunate however. Is this something that can be patched via firmware update, or is this a hardware issue? Thanks again.
@@robertrussell4009 Good question, hard to call right now. My guess would be hardware. I’ve talked w/ Lytmi and I know that this issue among a few others are being looked into. But in terms of timing, it’s really hard to say. But it is a complicated matter, which is why other smart lighting brands in the space have not pulled it off to date.
@@MrTekSuggest I reached out to Lytmi and confirmed VRR to not be supported and would require a hardware update to remedy.
