Philips Hue Play Sync Box and Gradient Lightstrip can enhance the home theatre experience

While I enjoyed the experience, I didn’t feel I wanted it on all the time either. I certainly didn’t need dramatic lighting while watching the news.

The Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box married with the Hue Gradient Lightstrip is a simple and effective way of improving your home theatre experience. This small little box can sync/control your Hue lights to content playing on TV. The Sync Box allows users to sync Hue lights to their home theatre experience and can be placed between any streaming box, gaming console, Blu-ray player, or entertainment system and a television. I’ve been using the Sync Box for the last month along with the Gradient Lightstrip to see if it’s worth the hefty price tag.
