@jarrod There are also ambient lighting systems equipped with a small camera that can be placed on top of the TV. This camera monitors the colors displayed on the screen in real time.

@jarrod I've used the original HDMI sync box in the past, but can't vouch for the newer version. I did notice some sync issues from time to time with the original box, but the newer version supports everything you need. That said, Samsung TV's offer a Hue app which is cheaper and likely smarter as the solution is built into the display itself. LG just announced Hue sync is coming to their TV's as well. Personally, I thought I'd love syncing way more in theory than I did in practice...

@jarrod I'd suggest testing It out first using the old method with a phone camera and see if it's something you still want in a week's time. Hardware wise, you'd have to plug your devices into the HDMI sync box and then that into ARC. It's all going to be dependant on the display but I'd suggest the app instead of the hardware.

@sigmund Thank you for that detailed response!
