hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and today we're taking the gaming setup to a whole new level now
I've been using RGB lighting for years but this new kit from Govee is something else so unlike
other LED strips that you simply stick to the back of your monitor and manually change the
colors these will sync up to what's on your screen creating a crazy immersive experience and it's all
done via this HDMI box it's called the AI gaming sync box and it supports up to 4K and up to 240hz
and it will work across any HDMI device that you plug in over the last week I've tested this with
the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox series X and the results have been really good for both gaming
and movies today I'll get this unboxed set it up and show you how it works and what features
it supports along with any issues I've had along the way so first Up Inside the Box it comes with
the brains of the setup the HDMI sync box then we have the two light bars which will go either side
of the monitor this is the LED strip that will go on the back of the monitor we've got some manuals
two HDMI cables a power brick and some feet for the light bars then we have a couple of
other accessories including some mounting clips for the LEDs and a screwdriver when it comes to
setting these up it's a five minute job I probably spent more time deciding where to place the HDMI
box so firstly we have these strip lights and these need to stick on the rear of the monitor
using the provided 3M tape and what's great is the corners actually have these bendy pieces making it
really easy to install now this kit is designed for monitors between 27 and 34 inches I mean you
could install this on a larger monitor if you were happy for the strips to be more Central to
the rear but ideally you want to monitor between the recommended range so the one that I'm using
here is a 27 inch Ultra game Monitor and these led strips fit perfectly on the back and just to keep
the corners looking nice and tidy you cannot see them from the front I've used the provided Clips
to stick them to the back of the screen and once the LEDs are installed I placed their two light
bars either side of the Monitor and connect everything up via USBC and HDMI then it's a
case of running through the Gobi app setup screen and we're pretty much good to go and here it is
so we've got the LED light strip on the back of the Monitor and the two light bars either
side and this looks really good even with just a static image on the screen you could already see
the colors that are represented on the lights but if I now move between the different images
and screens this is where you see not only how accurate the colors are but how fast it changes
there is no delay here at all at least from what I can see playing games on the PS5 like Spider-Man
where the environment is changing pretty quickly you can see how the lights and bars keep up with
what's on the screen whether I'm moving quickly or slowly panning the LEDs match the majority
of the colors very well and the same goes for FPS games like modern warfare or racing games like gt7
having something like this just changes the whole immersive experience while playing games these are
also bright enough to see jaw in the day but it's a night where you really notice how awesome they
look I jumped on apex Legends as this is a crazy vibrant game and this is probably the best game to
show off the colors Govee have said it has a 99 accurate color matching technology built in and
as there's no external camera is not going to be affected by other lights in your room and this is
really noticeable with pretty much every game that I've tested well next I hooked up the Xbox series
X and I played some Hi-Fi Rush as again this game is really vibrant and looks awesome on here
then there's the AI gaming features which is what sets this box apart from the others first
you'll need to enable this in the settings it's called AI identification what this does
is it allows certain games and actions in those games to display differently via the lights and
this is an awesome new feature that is exclusive to these lights so we know that the lights react
to what's on the screen but what this does is it reacts to the action itself so take Apex Legends
for example when you're Reviving or using the syringe the light bars will display a light
effect that represents that go from red to Green the same if you've been eliminated or knocked the
light bars will show this too they will go red so what it does is it takes elements of the screen
and it converts those into a light effect rather than just using the environment and this isn't
like any other lighting kit that's out there as effectively it uses an AI chip to read the in-game
actions it is pretty cool and I impressed with just how well it works but here are all of the
games that are currently supported to use these AI lighting effects hopefully over the coming
year we will see more and more games added as it would be great to see games like Call of Duty or
Modern Warfare on here now although I've shown you how this looks for gaming because that's how this
product is marketed this can be used for so much more take movies and normal TV shows for example
you could use the media apps on your PlayStation 5 or your Xbox to get a whole different experience
I've tested a few different movies and scenes and the response and color accuracy is incredible it
definitely makes watching movies a lot more immersive on top of that this does support
HDR and Dolby Vision so you'll get that same pass through to your monitor as you would expect from
the consoles but it's not just consoles as long as your device has an HDMI output you can run it
via the sync box so you could plug in an Amazon fire stick Apple TV PC Blu-ray player anything
that's an HDMI hopefully Govee bring out a kit that's more suitable for TVs as I have used their
camera kits before but this HDMI sync box is so much cleaner and as for the Box itself well on
the front it's got two buttons one for switching between the three HDMI inputs and the other is the
power button and something you might have noticed is there's an RGB Lighting on the front and this
syncs and matches exactly what's on the back of your monitor and that's a pretty cool idea but if
you don't like this you can actually switch it off in the app then around the back we've got three
HDMI inputs which can be used for three different devices and there's one HDMI out to connect to
your monitor and next to that we have two USBC ports which is what powers the light strips and
the light bars now this HDMI box does support up to 4K and up to 240hz so if you're gaming at
1440p and 120hz this box will be perfect for you I'm using a 27 inch 1440p OLED monitor so for me
this is absolutely fine I'm not losing anything here at all but it does not support HDMI 2.1 this
means if you do need 4K and 120hz this box will limit what your monitor will receive you need
to pick either 4K 60hz or 1440p and 120hz to get the full 240hz you'll need to select 1080p
so most of what I've shown you today Works Straight Out of the Box you power it on and
connect up your devices and you get this awesome effect across everything that you see but the
Govee app can be used to get even more from it so I've been using that app for a couple of years now
with different lights I have around the house and within the app you can control things like
the brightness static colors lighting effects and even adding more lights to a group it's called
DreamView and it allows you to sync other gaming lights together you will need the app to get set
up for the first time but after you've done this you can go ahead and just use the Box on its own
another option if you're not in the mood for a full interactive light show is to DIY the
light effects instead so within the app you can customize the lighting of the LEDs and the light
bars this is the type of vibe I normally go for in my setups that purple pink and orange
theme but again within the app there are so many colors and preset themes to choose from which
means there should be something for everybody and their setup so that was a quick look at Govee's
latest AI gaming sync box it works well in my setup and it's only held back very slightly by
the lack of HDMI 2.1 but as mentioned if you're gaming on a 1440p monitor this won't affect you
anyway oh and the price this comes in at $300 so it's not cheap but it's an awesome kit especially
with that AI functionality to add to your setup well I hope you enjoyed today's video if you drop
a "Gaming RGB" in the comments I'll give you a thumbs up for staying right to the end thanks
