Man wish this wasn't so expensive. I'm just not sure i would like back lighting with an OLED tv. Seems like it would defeat the purpose. But i guess its all preference. I'm pretty deep into the hue system but this is too pricey to end up not liking it lol.

I have an LG OLED and have wanted one of these for awhile but I didn't like the refresh rate of the original model. I considered the new one but decided the price is outrageous.

I ended up subscribing to their Hue sync TV app. [philips-hue.com] It works just like the sync box. Based on what I've read from users who have tried both products, the sync box may have slightly better latency but the difference is not really all that noticeable. It's only $3 a month but works on multiple TV's (As long as the TV supports it, not all TV's do)

That's the way I'd recommend people go if they are interested in this kind of thing.

I've been wanting to get hue stuff for the longest time. Now i'm in the position to buy it i see that they have an updated product line. Is this their newest hub and sync box?

Which LG OLED tv do you have? I have the C1 although just that as my TV. I see the sync box by itself is on sale for 270. So for $3 a month, it'll take about 7.5 years for the device to match the monthly subscription (assuming they don't raise the price)

That's the catch. I have a c4 and c1. And I think you need at least a c4 to use the sync app with your TV. Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)
