    Been eyeing this also! Anyone that has purchased these can give a quick review?

    This is such a weird way to solve the problem. Using the HDMI cable you have 'perfect' knowledge of colours, brightness, contrast etc. which is then displayed on a screen. Instead of interpreting it that way to present the LED edge lighting around TV, they use a camera. That has to try to manually analogue interpret it imperfectly along with issues of positioning, an external 'unit' that sits on your shelf, room lighting etc.

    There's been devices like DreamScreen (since closed but I have the 4K hub and it's brilliant) and Hue Hub + Gradient Lightstrip (yes, prohibitively expensive) that solve this today. The 'problem' with those is they aren't HDMI 2.1 — which is solvable, it's just a matter of cost & getting a production run. It's the only benefit I see using this system instead, ie. this serves to solve a short-term problem that longer-term is less accurate, takes up extra space & does not have an ecosystem around.

    • Tacooo on 01/09/2021 - 14:04

      The issue lies with devices that have proper HDCP. A lot of splitters won't work with HDCP rendering 4K streaming services useless.

      • tommypickles on 01/09/2021 - 17:45

        I've had no problem with AppleTV, PS5 with DreamScreen 4K HDR.

        I think the HDCP problems roll in when you roll-your-own device, hadn't heard of it being a problem on Hue for eg.

        I do concur that the HDMI 2.1, 120hz means there's a hard limitation on the commercially-available options that are HDMI based.

    • Thefong on 01/09/2021 - 14:05

      The benefit is it's a quarter of the price of the hue hub

        And that’s just the hub, before you consider the price of the light strips themselves. Eyewatering stuff.

        • tommypickles on 01/09/2021 - 17:54

          @Pecan I'm curious that you'd reply with this — when my point about HDMI being a better 'perfect' interpretation of lighting profile still stands.

          And you'd previously replied in a thread which discussed the alternative HDMI-based Hyperion+Pi Zero setup was $70 AUD all up.

          Downvoting my comment suppressed the alt options & discussion to people, which kinda sucks.

          • Pecan on 01/09/2021 - 18:40

            @tommypickles: No one is disputing HDMI being better, I was responding to the price of Hue hubs? And I didnt downvote you.

      • tommypickles on 01/09/2021 - 17:38

        Yes, I did say Hue Hub is prohibitively expensive. But I paid USD$202.49 for DreamScreen TV 4K delivered. That's the "Hub" and "Bias lights" to a 55-65" TV for one price.

        It's double the price yes —- but it works perfect from my amp to 4K HDR display of PS5, AppleTV along with real-time visualisation of music, set background mode. It doesn't do 60hz or + though (eg. 120hz). Worth it IMHO.

        Here's a cheaper option.

        https://github.com/hyperion-project/hyperion run Hyperion on a Raspberry Pi with LED lights.

        Per this posting that'll run you AUS$70.

        And back to the point, HDMI direct interpretation is better (HDCP, 120hz and other issues aside).

          Hyperion on a Raspberry Pi

          Not everyone is going to know how to set this up. Some just want a plug and play solution. Is Hyperion compatible with Google Assistant/Alexa etc? Can it respond to sound/music?

    • beardelune on 01/09/2021 - 14:29

      You can thank capitalism and DRM protection for this kind of bullshit.

      You can't use the HDMI signal when you're watching TV, or watching Netflix via the app on your TV, or watching Prime via the app on your TV… anything that's internal to your TV isn't going via HDMI 👍

        Hadn't thought of that!

  • honest-gary on 01/09/2021 - 14:03

    don't know if changing colours any good for eyes. i have recently got medialight flex mk2 - https://www.biaslighting.com.au/products/medialight-flex-mk2 and find they reduce eye fatigue when i game or Netflix at night.

    • Jklaro on 01/09/2021 - 14:16

      I'm not sure but I think eye fatigue is due to

      Too bright panel.

      Screen too small in a dark room, pupils dilated because theres too much darkness surrounding the tv.

      I haven't heard of colour not being good for eyes.

    $20 coupon gone

    • SevenSmurfs on 01/09/2021 - 14:16

      was trying to place the order and was wandering why the $20 discount wasn't showing up anymore! Damn!

      • he11bent on 01/09/2021 - 14:17

        I was remembering my password for Amazon US, third try, remembered and coupon gone. Damn it!

  • Arty.R on 01/09/2021 - 14:43

    Does this turn on with the television, or do you need to turn it on in addition to the TV?

    • KevinL on 01/09/2021 - 15:37

      I've set mine up to use IFTTT linked with my samsung soundbar to turn on/off automatically

    • keo on 01/09/2021 - 16:17

      Need to manually turn it on/off via app or button on control unit. Can also be voice controlled if you have google home/alexa but that gets old. I've got mine to turn on automatically when tv is on with home assistant integration.
