Fancyleds new 3 HDMI 2.1 sync box and fancy neon - th-cam.com/video/2cOwir2V9Go/w-d-xo.html NEW RELEASE Lytmi Fantasy 3 PRO Review - th-cam.com/video/QBOUFUVkdr0/w-d-xo.html Finally a fully operational HDMI 2.1 Sync Box - Let's go
Thank you for this. I was in the fence about buying the Fancy LED set but will do so now knowing that my gaming experience will still be banging. I appreciate the detail of this video. Thank you again
Curious. This is my same dilemma. I’m heaving into home theater sound. Im currently using a Sony sound bar that supports all the fancy inputs (VRR,low-latency,120hz, etc) I plug my game console into the soundbar, then to my tv. Essentially I’m running the video signal through my soundbar to my tv almost like a multiple hdmi switch. I’m wondering if I was to do that same but plug the sync box in between the soundbar and tv. Would it still work without issues or even work at all?
Does your tv support e-arc? You can plug your sound bar into the hdmi e arc input and your gaming console into another hdmi input. Same result. Then you can use the sync box.
I had this same question. I’m using different gear (Sony STR-DN1080 receiver) but if there’s pass through on your soundbar it *might* act similarly … what I did was plug HDMI inputs (eg Apple TV in my case) into the receiver (soundbar in your case), then the HDMI out of the receiver (soundbar) into the sync box, then sync box to TV. Earc coming *out* from the TV makes things trickier, since that doesn’t send hdmi video, just lets you output sound from TV-sourced streaming (like on-TV streaming apps). I hope this helps, not much info on it all but I got it working with my setup and it’s righteous
Fancy Sync Box :) Thanks for this awesome comparison! Do all of these Sync Boxes support CEC? For example if i switch on my Nvidia Shield, it switches on the TV - does this still work? Even if I put say my PS3, PS4, Bluray Player and Nvidia Shield in an HDMI Splitter, and go into the sync box from there?
6:21 what if we would use aerial to hdmi converter which would go to the sync box and therefore would be able to pickup signals and would make LEDs work?
Howbout using ARC? Not sure what signal is sent trough Arc, but what if its full signal then connecting the syncbox to it could make it work with anything that is on the screen regardless the source... You could then pass the signal further to the soundbar
Im not able to get a display signal out of this onto my TV, do you have any sugggestions? HDMI from. Apple TV into sync box, hdmi from sync box to tv. “No signal”
Same problem for me but only when I start up a ps5 game, screen goes black then says no signal for between 10sec and 2 minutes before coming back, lights and all still react but no signal to the tv..
Would love the 2.1 version for my TV but curious so I can connect my Google Chrome TV and ps5 is it better to get an hdmi splitter or just get the fancy led with 3 hdmi is there a big difference between the 2 being 60-120hz?
Govee / camera-T2 is better why? don't spend on $$-cables? I have it, and 4 Govee Smart Light Bulbs(all$40) on each corner of the ROOM, and the tall lamp by the side of where we sit (6-all Govee & link to the app) and ALL the WALLS of the room is a THEATER for PS5, DVDs. MOVIES, SPORTS. I even stream my laptop to the Flat 65" TV, at 10" away from the wall (it looks like it is floating in the air). It is like a NIGHT CLUB nothing compared to just lights around the TV. and if the screen is black everything gets dark like off "black", and when the TV is off, everything turns off. plus I can control each color intensity of light on each WALL of the ROOM.
Yeah, I’m not convinced the current evolution of hdmi sync boxes is better than a camera based system like the Govee T1/T2. To my eye, the accuracy of the FancyLED sync box is too accurate; instead of nicely blending around the edge of the tv and subtly augmenting the picture, the individually color-matching LEDs appear to create bright, clashing blobs that draw the eye and detract from the picture displayed on the tv.
This is a great review, thanks! Could you do a short video comparison of how the different diffusion modes look during gameplay? I'm really interested in this, but whichever setting is used primarily in this video is too distracting to me - I'm hoping one of the other diffusion modes is more blended / simple.
I'm glad someone is making a syncbox for smaller TVs I have a 48 A2 just for an office so until govee makes one for smaller TVs this might be the solution
Great review, got me to pick one of these up, however I have run into problems with it, whenever I load up a game on the ps5, the screen goes black and says no signal for all between 10sec and 2 minutes before coming back, any idea? Anything you ran into with yours? Really annoying and when I mailed them and asked they said they were going to put an update to my device, but I just cant belive im the only one having this problem😂
@@GeekStreetLg c3, tried different hdmi 2.1 cables, tried every setting on the tv aswell as the ps5, turning off vrr only changed the black screen time a bit, got the picture back a little bit faster with vrr off, but otherwise still not working as it should, Fancyleds said they were working on an update for me but that they had never heard of the issue prior to this.
@@linushall5064 That's correct, not for the PS5. So we're investigating, likely a fault or outdated firmware somehow. This should be solved for you soon, we appreciate your patience and apologise for the inconvenience.
A question, it working without hdmi input, like when i using TH-cam app directly in my LG tv, and it’s working or not, because i using my tv for youtube and Netflix from itself, doesn’t have any entertainment divice like PS5 or xbox or something like that.
How does it detect how long the led strip is? Say I connected a longer strip (of the same make/model addressable leds & external PSU) for a 200" screen - will it detect / resize properly?
@@GeekStreetI don't think it would work... 99.999% of sync boxes I've looked at and contacted sellers - don't have options for adjusting the LED strip segments, so you purchase a 42" "version" and you can't use it on a 55" screen because "it's locked". Is this the same with this product?
@IvanV5900 best to contact the seller, I was thinking it may work as the led are cuttable and on start up it goes though a calibration. Let me know have it goes as hopefully this info will help others.
Thanks, the lighting works better with more of a gap and due to all the reviews I do I need to be able to move the TV out regularly hence why I didn’t use the flush mount. And yes I'm pretty happy with it.
I'm using the Phillips Hue Sync Box for my TV and I also have Phillips Hue Lamps for my Room. I have a RGB Stripe from Philipps Hue too but it's not as goood because it falls off on my table and my Wall is Green so the colors are wrong. I have also ICUE Smart Tower but they are not really Syncing. Do you have better recommendations?
Mine has recently developed issues with black bar detection at the top of the screen and yesterday it quit connecting to my network, nothing has worked to remedy it.
The worst part about the Phillips Hue system is it won't stay connected and I've had to do a janky and lengthy factory reset procedure on multiple occasions. A lot of times it loses synce and months go by before I take the time to go through the lengthy process. It requires a Phillips Hue Bridge, and the Hue Sync system causes the Bridge to lose connection. I have had that Bridge for a long time and didn't have issues before adding Hue sync to the mix. I was hoping it was an old Bridge that was the source of my problem. I recently bought a starter kit with a newer Bridge and the same issue. I think I am just going to order this since I have a PS5 and pre-ordered PS5 Pro. Hue Sync was a massive waste of money. I love the diffused light strip though! I wish I could hack it to work with one of these other brand sync boxes.
@@ru2225 yeah but its trash. I have the T3, and I swear to god if I knew it would give me so much headaches and frustration I'd never have bought it. The color caliberation is impossible, caliberation of the camera is horrid, it doesnt project accurately either. Govee really let me down.
I can't afford HUE, and Govee has let me down. I currently use the Lytmi NEO 2 Sync Box with provided LED's. I want to upgrade so bad. I might try this one. I just notice your comment about the new Lytmi release
So does anyone know if the Govee sync box for gaming monitors will work on a 65 inch tv? I see reports saying even if you add a bigger strip to it it will only light up the same amount of leds as the included strip. Wondering because I can’t find the Govee tv sync box fucking anyyyywhere
Brother. I am new to hear and the Sync box world also. I have a doubt all the time from i started research to buy one. Will the bars on the video affect these lights ?
Is there any backlight that works directly with the Smart tv? No connection from consoles or tv recievers. Only the signal that comes from the smart tv. I googled and cant seem to find one.
I run my Fire Cube through my home theater receiver which has all my apps like Plex, Apple TV, Disney, etc. Would I be able to run everything through the receiver then to the sync box and then to the TV and still have the desired result of the immersive experience?
Fancy Sync Box. I appreciate the content but would really like to know, which sync box and lighting YOU would recommend out of FancyLEDs, Hue, and Govee? You are in a unique position in that you have tried and tested all 3. Most of us consumers have not tried or tested any of the 3 and I know my personal situation won't allow me to swap/change if I don't like the one I end up choosing. I was gifted a Hue Floor Lamp and Hue Bridge so I am tempted to just build on that but the price is definitely something that is making me hesitate.
Will this box work with the Philips Lightstrip itself? I much prefer the diffused look of the Lightstrip but I want the 2.1 capability. It's a lot of coin for a luxury purchase so want to future proof as much as possible.
There is some saint Valentin sales right now so if I can have your though before it ends it would be nice… 😊 (I’ll watch your review anyway) My two priority are accuracy and brightness of the LEDs
I love it, but coming from the hue I’m not sure what it is maybe my tv is too close to the wall but I’ve just got like circles on my wall of different colours when I’m playing games and sometimes it’s colours that shouldn’t even be there
Great video and how operates the sync box, but do we have any information about more input ports for more devices to connect. Maybe another product from fancyleds
Fancy sync box. This is cool. I have the old dreamscreen 4k which isn't HDMI 2.1 but it has 3 HDMI inputs and I the app you can use these different presents for ambience light a fire or pride colours etc. Im glad there is an option for future TV's.
The philips colors looks better on the wall, the other's seem to create a little bubble or is it youtube compression. Does the led strips have anything to do with that
The LED strip has everything to do with that. The reason why the Phillips hue looks so good on the wall is because their stip has a thick layer over the LEDs that diffuses the light. Essentially it blurs the gaps between each LED so it looks like one solid light. But it really is the same thing underneath that. Individual LEDs like the other strips. So you could manually diffuse the strips with some thin layers of styrofoam and adhevise. That way you can add multiple layers until you have the perfect balance of diffused light vs. brightness. Because each layer above the LED is going to reduce the max brightness that shines through.
does this support lg 65'' oled evo g3 - 4k tv (2023) with their apps like netflix? someone told me you have to use a chromecast or google apps for it to sync (it cant use the apps you download on the tv itself)
All TVs are compatible. However, a compatible HDMI device is required for the syncing of the LEDs, integrated apps on the TV will not be synced. So if you would like to watch Netflix for example with synced LEDs, you will have to watch using a compatible HDMI device like an Xbox or Amazon Firestick.
Was so ready to buy one to hook up to my LG G4 but the fact that it won’t work with movies through the TV streaming Apps like Netflix or Disney+ is a deal breaker for me. Does anyone know if it’s the same issue if I try to use the Netflix app through my PlayStation? I mean regardless, that would make a smart tv pointless if I have to watch things through my console. Very disappointed, hopefully they will make one that supports tv apps.
@@ViiiBeZzHD have a think about it. How can they ever do one that supports tv apps. The tv is not outputting any signals they can use for the leds. You can get one of those camera ones that lag.

Yes that should work in theory

Definitely as it's more accurate than a camera based system.

Does this box work with an AVR?
do you have an answer to that ?? :) would be nice to know
Does it support hdmi audio passthrough for eARC?
On the site it says "ARC is supported, however, eARC is currently not".
I love it, but coming from the hue I’m not sure what it is maybe my tv is too close to the wall but I’ve just got like circles on my wall of different colours when I’m playing games and sometimes it’s colours that shouldn’t even be there
Can this be used without an external gaming console?
Does HDR/Dolby vision, Atmos/DTSx passthrough?
Great video and how operates the sync box, but do we have any information about more input ports for more devices to connect. Maybe another product from fancyleds
Not sure about that, hopefully they'll see your comment and respond.
Fancy sync box. This is cool. I have the old dreamscreen 4k which isn't HDMI 2.1 but it has 3 HDMI inputs and I the app you can use these different presents for ambience light a fire or pride colours etc. Im glad there is an option for future TV's.
may i know how long approximately are the cables for the power, usb and hdmi? Thanks!
USB-C cable is 1m and the poweradaptor is 1.5m.
what do you do if you have multiple devices like ps5 and shield how do you get both working with this?
i would imagine you would need an HDMI splitter
Never heard of the fancy sync box, but if I ever get a new TV I might get this
The philips colors looks better on the wall, the other's seem to create a little bubble or is it youtube compression. Does the led strips have anything to do with that
The LED strip has everything to do with that. The reason why the Phillips hue looks so good on the wall is because their stip has a thick layer over the LEDs that diffuses the light. Essentially it blurs the gaps between each LED so it looks like one solid light. But it really is the same thing underneath that. Individual LEDs like the other strips. So you could manually diffuse the strips with some thin layers of styrofoam and adhevise. That way you can add multiple layers until you have the perfect balance of diffused light vs. brightness. Because each layer above the LED is going to reduce the max brightness that shines through.
The Amazon link u provided is for hdmi 2.0
What is your tv mount?
does it work while you watching netflix from tv not from console ?
Hi does this work with hdmi 2.0 I run all my inputs through a Av amp then one hdmi back to tv
Yes this should work
Can this backlight be used with projectors?
does this support lg 65'' oled evo g3 - 4k tv (2023) with their apps like netflix? someone told me you have to use a chromecast or google apps for it to sync (it cant use the apps you download on the tv itself)
All TVs are compatible. However, a compatible HDMI device is required for the syncing of the LEDs, integrated apps on the TV will not be synced. So if you would like to watch Netflix for example with synced LEDs, you will have to watch using a compatible HDMI device like an Xbox or Amazon Firestick.
@@fancyleds thanks
Was so ready to buy one to hook up to my LG G4 but the fact that it won’t work with movies through the TV streaming Apps like Netflix or Disney+ is a deal breaker for me. Does anyone know if it’s the same issue if I try to use the Netflix app through my PlayStation? I mean regardless, that would make a smart tv pointless if I have to watch things through my console. Very disappointed, hopefully they will make one that supports tv apps.
@@ViiiBeZzHD have a think about it. How can they ever do one that supports tv apps. The tv is not outputting any signals they can use for the leds. You can get one of those camera ones that lag.
QUESTION: it dosnt work with any smart t.v apps such as netflix?
Would a hdmi 2.1 switcher work if I got a fire stick and a ps5 with this
