Philips has finally unveiled the long-awaited 8K upgrade for its Hue Play HDMI sync box at IFA 2024.

You can connect it with up to four input devices simultaneously and enjoy a synced lighting experience with up to 10 color-capable Philips Hue lights. The sync box also works with Philips’ Play lights and offers an immersive gaming experience by accurately lighting up your room with the colors you see on your screen.
