The flexible gradient lightstrip comes in three sizes and slots into channels that you affix to the back of your TV. That’s how the sync box will tell the gradient strip which colors to display and when. The mandatory piece is the $60 Philips Hue Bridge, which connects directly to your Wi-Fi router and acts as the central hub for all things Hue. There’s one more mandatory component (yup, this is getting expensive) as well as some other nice-to-haves. The idea is that the colors sort of bleed off of the screen and onto the wall behind it, making the screen feel larger. The 65-inch strip I ended up with contained roughly 80 individual LEDs, but they don’t all have to display the same color at the same time, which is how they are able to create a representation of the many colors being displayed on the edge of your TV screen. This is a flexible strip of LED lights that affixes to the back of your TV. The other major piece is the Play gradient lightstrip, which varies in price depending on the size needed for your TV ( $250 for the 55 inch, $270 for the 65 inch, and $300 for the 75 inch). The sync box itself sits between your HDMI devices and your TV and does all the lighting processing. It was somewhat limited when it first launched, but it now supports Dolby Vision, Atmos, and HDR10 Plus, so your programs should look and sound just as good as they normally do. It’s a clever design that greatly reduces lag so your lights stay tightly synced, though there is one major flaw to this method, which we’ll get into in a moment. This is how the system knows what’s on your TV screen so it can color match your lights all of the imagery is routed through it. On the back are four HDMI inputs and one HDMI output. It is, as the name suggests, a roughly 7 x 4 x 1-inch box. The $250 Play HDMI Sync Box is the brains of the operation. Let’s break this system down into its component parts. Not sure what happened but I won’t mess with it further.Buy for $494.06 from Amazon Buy for $538.00 from Philips Hue
#APPLE TV HUE SYNC MOVIE#
I played multiple movies and shows and atmos wasn’t displaying at first but now Netflix has both Dolby vision and atmos displayed next to the movie title.
UPDATE: Not sure why it works now but I ended up plugging everything back into the soundbar first then from the soundbar to the sync box, then to the tv into the arc hdmi. I’m wondering if I’m plugging it in wrong or possibly have a setting on the x900h tv that I need to change? I have updated my tv so eArc is enabled and the current audio settings for the tv are I also tried plugging everything into the soundbar then from there into the sync box then output to the tv hdmi 4 and still didn’t get atmos enabled. I know that the Netflix app should detect if atmos is available or not but for some reason it’s not showing up. My question is how can I get Dolby Atmos to work through the soundbar? When I open Netflix to a show that I know has Dolby vision and atmos it says Dolby vision and 5.1 for audio when using the Apple TV. From my TV’s arc hdmi into the Samsung soundbar’s arc out. Right now I have the Apple TV plugged into hdmi 2 port on the sync box, Xbox plugged into port 4 of the sync box.
My current set up is as follows: Sony x900h, Apple TV 4K, Xbox one X, Samsung q950t soundbar, and a Hue Sync box. I was really hoping somebody could give me advice on this.
