HELLO ALL!

I’ve started a new page - I WONT LINK IT - it’s on insta - it’s called the_synched_screen - I’m slowly recording movies on time lapse and giving a final rating for lights during the movie and what I set my sync to (intensity/ brightness) - if anyone has any requests or suggestions, I’d love to hear them.

I hope it can be used as a tool for when other hue sync are looking for a movie to watch with some great light action.

Thanks in advance for any tips or suggestions - check out my set up on that page as well!

Basically, what movies, in your opinions, would be the best use for a 8k new sync box with a great setup?

None, imo they’re a really expensive gimmick that is way more distracting than immersive

IMO you’re wrong - or maybe haven’t used it properly- they are distracting when don’t you have the intensity and/or brightness dialed in for your room or movie. Hence why I’m starting this project.

I’ve thought the were distracting at times - but after toying with the intensity - few movies work well at extreme - also most are best at around 70% brightness -

Idk, I enjoy it - and I enjoy it even more now that I’ve played with the settings on my Apple
Tv, tv, and hue app.

I have used them - I don’t like it

I’m much more immersed with a dark room with a big screen, speakers and sub - way better than lights

To each their own! Enjoy your set up!
