Philips has taken its smart lighting technology to the next level by allowing users to synchronize their Hue lights with 8K screens. This groundbreaking feature enables a seamless visual experience like never before, as it harmonizes the color palette of both devices.

Philips has finally unveiled the highly anticipated 8K upgrade for its Hue Play HDMI Sync Box at IFA 2024. The latest mannequin resembles its precursor closely, yet it boasts an upgrade in connectivity with HDMI 2.1 ports capable of rendering 8K video output at 60Hz for high-definition content and 4K resolution at 120Hz for a lag-free gaming experience on console devices.

With the latest Hue Play HDMI sync field 8K, you likely already possess a comprehensive lighting system, making this cutting-edge innovation an essential addition to further elevate your viewing experience.

Experience a harmonious fusion of sound and light by synchronizing your music with up to 10 color-changing Philips Hue bulbs, allowing you to create an immersive atmosphere with a palette of colors at your fingertips. The sync feature seamlessly integrates with Philips’ Play lights to create a fully immersive gaming experience, synchronizing the color palette of your room with the visuals on your screen.

As expected, the Hue Play HDMI Sync Field 8K effortlessly links to the Philips Hue app on your phone, offering a range of customizable options. Philips has also introduced a replacement for the app that accompanies the system update, unveiling four new lighting effects. The updated replacement also offers new options to diversify the intensity and hue of achievable lighting effects. Later this year, Philips will introduce another update that enables support for multiple Hue Bridges in a single home, allowing for more precise control.

The Hue Play HDMI Sync Box is now available for those in its 8K field, priced at $349.99 on the Philips Hue website. The Sync Field may also become available through a Best Buy purchase in the coming days.
