So I tried this kit, fairly accurate but, not even close to HDMI based systems. It does work good but, it uses a camera to watch over the screen, so with bright lights in the room it does not work too great but, for dim rooms, or dark it does work well.
Overall, expands the look of the TV and gives impressive actions. Look up some reviews on it on YouTube plenty of videos on the effect and how well the work.

Oh gotcha, thank you for sharing! I like the idea of HDMI, I'll have to look into that more.
I've had the same one (or maybe earlier version) since 2-3 years ago. The colors are not accurate and you get big spots where the colors don't match the screen content. There's also a very slight delay on the colors changing to match the onscreen content. My next setup will probably be an HDMI pass through system but just not at the price point they are currently asking. I think the PHILIPS one works well but it was like $300 the last time I checked.

Last time I looked into these, I went with GOVEE, as The probelm with some HDMI boxes (specifically first gen HUE), is that while they are way more accurate and wya less lag, sometimes it doesn't fully pass-through full HDMI Singal (Dolby Atmos/Vision, VRR, full 4k@120/144, )etc

The PI setup uses a capture device to display. You could use a HDMI splitter, and this would do the job. On my setup my AVR has 2 HDMI outs (up to 4K60), so I used that. I ran into problems when I am added the Series X and PS5, so I went directly to the TV and used ARC to return Atmos audio back to the AVR (as my AVR only supports 4K60). I could not find a splitter that would pass VRR and ARC with just taking the video signal coming through.
When you get into VRR or Dolby Atmos/Visio, it gets more complicated as talks to the monitor and adjusts refresh rate based on content. This is where I had a problem. It's why I moved to the GOVEE setup as it works with everything.
The Govee setup works well with all these as it's taking video but, it's not as accurate as a HDMI solution that is not as laggy.
If I could find a solution for VRR and all the HDMI 2.1 features with no issues with HDMI sources, I would switch back, it was that much better in my eyes...
But with that being said this works fairly well.
