Yes , to be precise Philips did, they also patented that built in ambilight technology so there are no other options but either buy Philips or add a diy kit to your existing tv/monitor The latter is exactly what this box does. There are cheaper options out there tho, you can basically get the same effect with any rgbic/argb strips and a raspi or Arduino and open source code, but from what I’ve seen nothing compares to the Philips ecosystem You can combine the ambilight with their expensive hue lights so not only your tv but the whole room will illuminate with fitting lighting based on the positions of the light source in the room. The biggest problem imo is that at least here in Germany your light data will be sent to the Netherlands first bc they’ve got some data center stuff over there So if you change the mood of your room, or turn lamps on and off there will be a delay when using anything else but the local ambilight of the tv. This for me is a total no-buy argument and I’m still waiting for an open source solution to use your diy microcomputer “ambilight” with either the real or other non Philips rgb smartlamps on a local network basis. From what I’ve seen this far the hue lights are worth the extra additional cost if you care for color accuracy , they are the best in regards to color, while other much cheaper options often beat them in the low-light department, meaning there’s only a certain amount of discrete brightness steps on hue, and other products often get more steps for low brightness, so If you got an Oled and blacked out home movie cinema it could get more moody with non hue lights, but you won’t get the extremely good color accuracy in lighter scenes. It’s a trade-off in every way. Tl;dr: if you’re on a low budget , diy your “ambilight” to existing screen If your extremely sensitive to color, a creator type guy, hue is best If you want a full room/house experience with more than just the tv lighting your room in fitting colors Philips is the way to go If you are a gamer who’s never seen the light of day , who’s Monitor probably isn’t that color accurate but rather high fps cheaper alternatives may be best , darker lights won’t blind you while gaming and still have adequate amounts of lighting steps to feel natural and not individually discrete You can also combine hue and certain non philips lights in your setup to fit your needs perfectly Whatever you do, do your research beforehand, sadly there is much room for improvement in regards to compatibility of different manufacturers so you’ll have to check if and how your dream setup can be realized

Especially as the arduino one works over USB, so for PC, you don't need to worry about what type of cable the monitor uses.

Corsair had similar feature for years, with game integration setting. Now they added mural feature that allow to plan your rgb devices where that actually are and can display colours based what is on your monitor

Games with integrated RGBFX do the same thing. MK11 on my Alienware M17 has adaptive RGB just off the top of my head, which also worked with Logitech gear. I imagine there is software that can do this as well. I guess? Not that big of a selling point though.

Need a proper comparison with the Phillips Hue Play Sync Box, accuracy evaluation, latency tests on the display and lights, and 4k 120hz hdr vrr passthrough capability.

Requiring game support puts in the realm of keyboard RGB support where it's occasionally cool, and mostly pointless. Requiring HDMI passthrough is also a deal breaker. Even though in OS apps can be a memory drain, that's better than additional HDMI lag, and no DP support.

I wish TV’s had pursued ambient lighting effects in earnest, it’s such a cool effect! Glad we have solutions like this with robust processing and lots of ports. With a niche little product like this, I cant help but wonder if this will be the pinnacle. I guess we should all run out and buy one if it is, and we should also buy one to make it not me. That’s what’s great about consumption, it transcends all paradoxes. Would cross shop this with Luminio and Philips Hue. Would personally wait for HDMi 2.1 pass through. As 4k120hz is the 1080p of our time!

I game on a Philips TV (shut up) with what they call Ambilight on top and sides. Strips of LEDs that react individually to what's on their part of the screen. So colours move around the edges. You really miss it when you go back to a screen without it.

I actually got to test one of these since late November, and it's better than any other HDMI box I've used. Has a very premium feel also. Happy to see these things finally see the light of day since CES is over(we weren't allowed to talk about them until after CES).

I would just like to know if these things, this and other products like it using a HDMI box, add latency when gaming.
