The press launch signifies that the Philips Hue Sync TV app provides all the identical performance as you’d get from the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Field.

That each one sounds superb, however the massive catch is that this can be a paid-for app, they usually need £115 for it! There are only a few apps which are priced that top, they usually are usually area of interest apps for knowledgeable market. I’m definitely not conscious of any apps on a TV OS that value this.

On the flip aspect, the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Field prices £230, and the native app will really work higher than the Sync Field because it ought to assist 8K and 4K/120Hz.
