Pros & Cons
Pros
Viewing is so much more immersive, really enjoy watching films with this on. Colours and brightness are perfect, really adding to my viewing experience. Really enhances the movie experience.
Works great on anything plugged in. Compatible with most video formats such as dolby vision. Gaming now have excellent synced lighting. Works awesome with a big screen and dolby atmos soundbar.
It's a discrete box, and is really easy to use. Really like the sync box, adds a lot to my setup.
Cons
Can't connect to absolutely standard wireless network, setup is dire. Gutted as really wanted to like it but for price just wasn't worth it. For such an expensive box it sure seems like all they care about it taking your money!
Highlights
Quality
Once set up though this works perfectly with the pair of lights i bought for the tv.
i've owned the hue hdmi sync box for a couple of weeks now and i'm still very happy with it.

Wife doesn’t like it, and the price is quite high for something that really is only used when watching a movie, which these day... Read More
Competitiveness
The sync box can be a bit temperamental though, i recently had a new wifi upgrade from virgin and they've sent us a new 1gbps router.
The cheap £25 ones are no competition for these.
First time i had some issues with my google chromecast tv and the sync box.
