Syncing Hue lights to your TV
9to5Mac • • technology
Key Points:
- Philips Hue has introduced two more affordable options for syncing lights to TV displays: the Sync Box 4K at $150, which uses HDMI signals with support for one HDMI feed and 4K resolution at 60Hz, and the Play Screen Sync at $120, which uses a camera but offers less accurate color matching.
- The original Sync Box 8K, priced at nearly $400, remains the most accurate HDMI syncing device, capable of handling up to four HDMI inputs and higher resolutions, but is significantly more expensive.
- Philips and Nanoleaf have launched a $40 Wall Light Module that allows Nanoleaf wall panels to be integrated into the Philips Hue ecosystem, enabling them to appear as Hue devices and benefit from enhanced app features like animated scenes and music syncing.
- This new Nanoleaf integration adds Hue compatibility to Nanoleaf products, which already support Apple HomeKit, expanding control options through third-party apps for greater flexibility in lighting effects.
