Philips Hue Sync Box alternatives or successes?

I want to get a sync box but they are not 4k120. The FancyLEDs box only has one input meaning I can't use a PS5 and set top box or Apple TV.

Any advice or successful set ups?

Try with a HDMI switch or a Home Theater to have all the inputs out to one. It won't solve the 4k120 and won't work with a smart TV though.

I got the Govee setup with the camera. Works fairly well and you don't have to worry about the input constraints.

Not OP but is it obnoxious having the camera out front pointing at your TV? Is it hanging down from the top or mounted down low like a little theater-goer in the front row?

It can be set up either at the top or bottom. After a few days you barely notice it anymore.

But to be honest the same happens with the lights LOL it's a nice gimmick but once you are focused on a game you barely notice the lights. Again, still looks cool AF

Right on, thanks for the info! I’ve been thinking about one but I wasn’t sure if the camera would drive me nuts.
