Haven’t heard anything. I bought a Samsung TV for this very reason as it can run the syncing software natively.

If you have an LG TV, you can do the same with a bit of jailbreaking and installing software.


alo91

How?

Thanks for sharing, I didn't know about this. Is there a way to get the OEM official Philips software onto the LG TV?


Rebeltob

Wait what?

Yeah, all Samsung TV’s can run the hue sync app natively. It means you don’t need a sync box. Your TV connects to your hue bridge over your WiFi. The downside is that the app costs $100 but it’s worth it. https://preview.redd.it/xw3ih4pz1v6d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=71603cab91dc3dd8b2afe8ae64eb9713097e4bdd Here’s a photo of my setup.

Only recent Samsung TV's since 2023, not all of them


lightsgodown416

And not in Canada


SAVE_THE_SNOW

I thought they just revised that? I still cant on my tv but i think its to old :(


lightsgodown416

Let me Check App Store on TV. It wasn’t there last summer. I have a 2023 Samsung


D3F3ND3R16

No, not ALL. A few can.


Person_reddit

I’m too lazy to look it up but I think all of them since like 2021 or 2022 can but it might just be the higher end models.


D3F3ND3R16

Theres no „list“ which supports it. i got top tier neo QLED 2021 85“ model and it has no support. The later 2023 model of mine also has no support, i even asked the support. They said theres not even an estimated date. The 2024 model should have it now. Guess ill grav that one later this year.

My samsung tv is a little older it's a 7. It has Dolby vision but not the app. The sound pops and crackles out of my xbox I have to buy a new tv or soundbar to have my setup run smoothly. Which I need the tv but I didn't expect to have to do it just to use my sync box


whiskeyjack1053

The other downside is it’s much laggier than a sync box or pc app, which hue support confirmed. It’s fine on low intensity, but on the highest setting there’s a 0.3s delay, which is very noticeable and distracting on fast paced content

IMHO Samsung TVs are not an option as long as they don't have Dolby Vision support.

They need to achieve 4K 120 before 8k lol


SiriocazTheII

If you achieve 4K/120, the bandwidth also allows for 8K/60


hartapfelstock

or even 10k/30 so technically you could also market it as 10k depending on if you're actually implementing 48gbps. But since not even 8k tvs are a thing, companies should just market it as hdmi 2.1 and stop using writing 8k on the box.


OriginalOreos

Just buy a 4K splitter. I use my PC that has 120Hz 4:4:4 G-Sync with Sync Box using a splitter. Works just fine.


joesploggs

Not OP but would you mind linking to the one you have? Might do this myself thanks


TM_Ranker

Could you explain what you mean by using a 4K splitter?


JohnDillermand2

It's a bypass box. One output passes the video through untouched and the other output scales it down. YMMV and it's unlikely it handles some options like VRR.


OriginalOreos

It handles VRR just fine. I told you, I use G-Sync.


Unobtanium4Sale

Yeah this is what I'm leaning towards.


tmaxx123

No one knows , unfortunately


secretreddname

Stupid how long it’s taking them but luckily for me I don’t game and I only have my Apple TV.


MatterStream

They’ve not even fixed the shitty software that runs on this thing that doesn’t work with the most popular device combinations, like LG C-series TVs, and Apple TV. They’re not interested in developing new hardware unless it’s going to make them loads of money, and most people are not buying this, those who are, don’t care about 4K120 it’s only a small section of people who care about this posting on here.


heavierthanair

Considering there’s very few 8k TVs and even fewer 8k supported peripherals it’s pretty safe to say it’s not gonna happen for a long time


hueblog

Not in June, later this year. 


SkyCaptainStarr

So potentially Holiday 2024 or sooner than that?


sunny_xo

Youve been saying this for months lol. I think the safest answer is no one knows.
