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.
Very strange as it was the exact same setup with the old router and never had an issue before!
Gaming with this is ok, some may want it on some may want it off)as for the ps5, if you have a tv that supports 2.
Price
Price is steep, but if you already own philips hue, this is nothing surprising.

Additionally once you’ve justified the price your going to need to ask yourself if you have the patience and reasonable tech knowledge to set it all up and your going to need wifi to achieve this

The setup process itself isn’t too bad if you know what your doing you download two apps the first is to locate all of your devices and link them together and the second is to adjust sync preferences and turn it onoff

It really does make films more immersive if you set the room lights dim and have this set up with just the light around the tv it gives the best effect so realistically you’re going to need at least 2 colour changing hue lights by the tv
