Rather than an HDMI passthrough solution, Govee developed its Envisual camera to capture and colour-match what’s on the screen. Previously, Govee used a workaround kit as an alternative to proper HDMI support. Paired with a dedicated light strip and two Gaming Light Bars, Govee has elevated its backlighting to be more accurate than what the DreamView or Envisual lights have been able to provide. The AI Gaming Sync Box is the substantial upgrade I’ve been hoping to see. Though, based on personal experiences, products like the Dreamview T1 have never been able to compete with an actual HDMI solution. Govee has experimented with a backlight solution for TVs and monitors in the past, however. Many of the company’s lights will sync and react to music playing and it is a neat visual experience. However, when it comes to reactive lighting, Govee’s bread and butter has been primarily within the realm of music. For years, Govee has supported numerous smart lights and kits around the home. If you’re new to what an HDMI sync box can provide as far as a lighting experience is concerned, you’re in for a treat. However, the likelihood you’ll need this option is slim, unless you’re using a 240Hz monitor. This is the highest refresh rate an HDMI sync box offers on the market. Govee’s AI Gaming Sync Box does offer a maximum of 240Hz at 1080p. For instance, 144Hz support is available at 2k resolution. However, you can scale the framerate support at a loss of video fidelity. On the back, you’ll find a port for the power supply, two USB-C inputs for the additional lights, 1 HDMI-Out port to connect to a TV or monitor and three HDMI-In ports.Įach HDMI input supports 2.0 at a maximum of 4K 60FPS, which is quite sufficient if you’re looking to connect an Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, or Nintendo Switch. Standing on its own, the front of the box features a small, yet effective RGB lighting around, surrounding the face of the box. It meshes well with Govee’s existing design philosophy. The Sync Box itself is a neat piece of kit. A power supply can also be found in the packaging as well as two HDMI cords. On top of that, Govee includes two stands for the Gaming Light Bars, which screw in easily enough. All three products work in unison to read what’s displayed on TV or monitor and illuminate the surrounding area. Additionally, Govee includes the newly developed HDMI AI Sync Box in the packaging. Within the packaging, users will find two wired Gaming Light Bars as well as an LED Strip Light kit. Govee’s AI Gaming Sync Box includes a unique array of already-established products from the company. It’s also one that is easily integrated into your smart home set up whether it’s through the Govee iOS and Android app, Google Assistant, or Amazon Alexa. While the colour matching may not be as accurate as competitors, Govee’s latest lighting kit is priced adequately to be a more budget-friendly option for those wanting to elevate their gaming space at $299.99, available now. Adding on to that, the company is utilizing CogniGlow, a specialized AI technology to power its responsive lighting. I was ecstatic to learn that Govee was launching its own product, capable of colour matching with HDMI 2.0 support. Whether it’s playing Call of Duty: Warzone or watching a blockbuster film like Blade Runner 2049, responsive lighting really heightens the content on display. I’m a firm believer in its additive qualities to an entertainment setup. I’ve been using the Philips Hue Play HDMI Sync Box for a couple of years at this point. The AI Gaming Sync Box offers heightened immersion and envelopes a display’s surroundings with matching lights and colours. Govee is introducing its new AI Gaming Sync Box, an iterative upgrade from its Dreamview T1 TV Backlight kit. Whether it’s in the living room or in an office space, no gaming setup is complete without a set of RGB lights.
