Philips Hue may launch a cheaper TV Sync Box.

As spotted by HueBlog, the Hue Play Sync Box Lite is a stripped-down version of the Hue Play Sync Box, a device that connects to your TV to sync your Hue lights with the content.

Listed at a British retailer for £109.99, about $150, the Lite looks to be less than half the price of the existing 8K model, with a single HDMI output and support up to 4K. With IFA around the corner, we should hear more about this and Hue’s rumored camera soon.

<em>Images indicate the Hue Play Box Lite will support just one HDMI output for syncing with a single device, such as a set-top box or games console.</em>
<em>It appears to support 4K content, as does</em> <em>the existing <a href="https://thevergetoday.pages.dev/23302947/philips-hue-play-sync-box-gradient-lightstrip-review">$250 model with four HDMI ports</a>. There is also an <a href="https://thevergetoday.pages.dev/2024/9/5/24236307/philips-hue-play-sync-box-8k-upgrade-price-release-date">8K model for $385. </a></em>
<em>The listed dimensions indicate it will be smaller than the existing models.</em>
