This may sound silly but what if I were to buy a small second screen to hook my GPU to it and make it a duplicate of the first screen via windows. Before linking this screen to the RGB box and leaving the main screen with clean 1 to 1 connection to my GPU. Do you think this would work in theory? Since am using the full spec of HDMI 2.1 of 4K144Hz 10 bit and this saturates the link fully, so any issues of not reaching 48GB/s will ruin things.
@@tftcentral Sorry for wording it badly. Normally you would have to plug your display into the box, which as you mentioned may cause some issues with some HDMI 2.1 specs, [ Source ---> Box ---> TV ] What I was thinking about is to plug a second screen to my PC and make it a duplicate of my main screen. After this I would simply have this second screen connected to the box for the RGB to work. This will mean my main screen is directly connected to my GPU [ Source ----> TV ] Second screen [ Same Source ----> Box ----> TV ] This in theory would mean the box is tracking what is happening on my second screen but since its a mirror of my main display, it would work normally and track colors correctly. If I still worded it badly then am sorry, am a bit bad at explaining things.
If I install the 90 inch strip to a 98 inch tv that would make the strip 4 inches offset in from the corners. Will the leds still be bright enough to get the same effect?
If you use this with an AVR, and plug tv into output one, and plug output two of the AVR to the sync box, does this then allow all the unsupported 2.1 features work on the tv now?
@@tftcentral You mentioned that passing through the box disables the features. In my scenario, the sync box isn’t acting as a passthrough since it doesn’t output to anything. However, are you saying that simply having the sync box connected to one of the AVR’s outputs (of two), even if it’s not the direct path to the TV, would still force the source to output to the lowest common denominator due to it being part of the output chain?
Oh I think I follow you now. So let’s say you have a games console, connected in to your AVR. Then the AVR has one connection going to that tv, and another going to the sync box. Is that the scenario you mean? If the AVR supports the features being sent from the console then I guess that would work on the tv still as it’s not being passed through the sync box then. It’s not a scenario I’ve tried so can’t be sure how it would behave
The biggest pblm wd this led that one needs a hdmi connection to actually experience this light effects. I hv normal lg smart TV and basic fire TV stick. I use inbuilt apps rather firestick 😮
My stripes have broken. Which Stripes can I buy as a replacement? The box works. I just need new stripes but I don't know my way around. What should I look out for when buying replacement Stripes?
Just picked up Samsung s95b 65" coming from a Sony z9d and had the govee t1 set up on that. Would you know if this is compatible for my tv this Lytmi Think it's hdr-10 not using tv apps. Just mostly I'd say 10 percent regular TV and rest apple tv 4k box I use.. Thanks in advance.. appreciate if can help.
It can support Dolby Vision pass through as well as HDR10. It should work with the 4K box as it’s an external device you can pass through it. Same if the tv source is an external box, but not if you mean the built in tv tuner
There is a button to switch the hdmi port yes, or you can do it from the app. But the box also auto detects when a new source is turned on and switches over to it for you
Does airplay work on this if so what do you use? Like chromecast or what if so which one? Because I was askin a different reviewer he said airplay didn’t work because the app doesn’t support airplay, he also said it doesn’t work with chromecast bc it’ll have to pass through the sync box..
I would so pick this up if I didnt just sped 3k on this C3. Going to have to tone it down a bit. I had the govee leds on my last tv and they worked nicely until the most recent update and got a bit choppy.
Hi... I mostly just watch Netflix app in my Sony TV.... Is this no good for this?
Not from an app from the tv I’m afraid. It would need to be an external device that you pass through the box to the tv

Yeah that should still be fine. I don’t think you’d have any problem with that tbh

Anything you pass through the box will result in the features being disabled

Sad to wait again 1yr or more for any 27 4K with OLED technology

They sell the LED light strips separately. Just check the Lytmi website shop

@@tftcentral thank you
Do you have to manually switch inputs? Is that what the other button on the top is for?

It’s not something I’ve tried tbh
An external Google chromecast plugged in via hdmi? Yes. Built in chromecast? No.
Can this be applied to a non 16:9 display? Is there a option in the app for ultra widescreens?
Good question. I don’t think so, it must be based on a 16:9 aspect ratio I would assume
Where did you get the plant from 12:20 from?
It’s from IKEA actually
