inaccuracy
on May 19, 2022
Posted by: Bibi
Verified Purchase:Yes
This product needs a detailed review. I have been looking for one, but no one talked about it. So I bought it, and returned it, and here is why:
To start off, I am a HUGE fan of Hue products. I have 2m lightstrip, 4 light bulbs, 4 downlights, and a remote. I love those products, and the Sync box has been on my list for months. I bought it, and here is why it was returned:
1. Doesn't sync properly: There are so many high reviews here of people saying this is amazing, but those reviews don't dive into the details. Now for this box, it is good but not for a $229 tag. If I am spending that much, I better get some high end tech that will absolutely change the way movies are watched. Let me expand on that...
This box does not sync accurately. It doesn't pick the light from the edges, the calibration is very simple and weak, you don't have the ability to calibrate how the screen is reflecting on the lightstrip or which angles, instead, you just drag and throw your lights it on the screen (through the app), and at that point, good luck if it is pulling from the right angle or not, and whether it will actually cover the edges, or won't reflect until it gets to the middle of the screen.
If I am spending $229, I better have the most advanced calibration system where you can tell the lightstrip that from this angle, I need you to sync with this part of the screen, etc.
2. This tech emphasized some parts of the screen: It takes the part that is covering most of the screen, and reflects it on the lights, and fill the room with it. Is it nice? Yes, is it accurate? Absolutely not. You might have 40% of the screen having blue, and 60% is yellow, it is more than likely taking the yellow, and making the whole strip yellow, and leaving that entire 40% of blue unreflecting. Why is this a problem? Because this technology is supposed to take what's on the screen, and expands it on the wall to be more immersive. But since it is not working properly, it is a lot more distracting and annoying.
3. If you use low settings, it will make the lights sync less, and it will seem like there is stuttering issues: It looks laggy and out of sync. You have to be using high, or extreme to get something close to smooth syncing.
4. The app needs a lot of improvements: I have seen indie apps that have a lot more settings compared to this huge brand app. I am really disappointed with how simple this app is. I saw the rating on the App store of 2.3/5.0 and I didn't believe it. I was like how bad could this be? Then when I actually tried it, it was truly disappointing (I am talking about the Sync app, not the Hue regular app, because that one is amazing).
5. Syncs through different devices: Again, for a tech as expensive as 229, I should expect to having those lights running through the TV apps, not a 2nd device (PS5, Xbox, etc.)
I heard the Gradient Lightstrip has good zoning, and it might bring accuracy a bit up, BUT that's another $229.00, which is absurd. It doesn't even cover the bottom parts of your TV, which means you need to get another 3 lights that will cover that part, and that would be another 225 (75 each). Is it really worth it at this point? That's a question you, the reader, will have to think about.
If this sync box was for $50, I would say I definitely recommend it. Otherwise, I would not. I will still be waiting for version 2.0 with an updated app, and hoping we will get something worth the upgrade.

Excellent UPS to protect your devices.

I have connected 3 devices only:
- 1 Asus Monitor gamer 24"
- PC gaming (i7 9gen, 2060, 32ram, leds in case, in keyborad, in mouse, etc)
- PS5
- 1 Asus Monitor gamer 24"
- PC gaming (i7 9gen, 2060, 32ram, leds in case, in keyborad, in mouse, etc)
- PS5
When power went out:
- It gives me around 75-82 minutes with monitor and PC (using for basic things, web, office, etc)
- Around 50 minutes with monitor and PC (doing 3d models in Maya)
- Around 20-25 minutes with monitor and PC (when gaming)
- Like 15-20 minutes to shut down everything if I'm using the 3 devices at the same time (doing basic things in PC, and gaming in PS5)
I have other APC, but it is the 900VA capacity, and it is enough for a PC (like mine) and monitor, it gives your around 12-35 minutes depending what are you doing.

Thanks, very helpful. Did you try testing how long your PC would last on Sleep Mode? And how long your PS5 would last on Rest Mode?
