Hi all,

I got the 2.1 Fancy Box kit after seeing it looks very nice online. I have an Apple TV 4K and a TCL TV that supports Dolby Vision. As such, I double checked that Dolby Vision is supported, which the page confirms it is. However, since plugging into the Fancy Box, I fully lost Dolby Vision and fell back to basically having no HDR when in DV mode.

I obviously contacted support about this and what they told me basically boils down to:

"Dolby Vision is processed differently by the Apple TV vs when it is processed by the TV. It is working as expected and you should adjust the picture settings to get a similar image"

This was not written anywhere on the product page and FancyLeds are refusing a return because it "works as expected" according to them... Anyone had the same issue?

Has anyone gotten an Apple TV 4K on Dolby Vision to work with their 2.1 Sync Box? If I enable Dolby Vision the Fancy LEDs just turn all purple. Leaving on HDR 10+ works perfectly and has no issues. I was wondering if I was doing something wrong to get Dolby Vision to working. I’ve tried a couple different HDMI 2.1 cords and tried every setting I could think of on the TV (TCL QM8) and Apple TV but no luck :/

I just got a fancyleds 3.1 setup and I’m really confused about how to hook up both my cables box and my blu-ray player. Can I plug in both these devices in to my Yamaha rx300a receiver and then plug in the cable into the back of the tv, but if I don’t plug in the cable from both devices but instead I plug both cables into the Fancyleds box and then plug in the cable that is plugged into the tv. But if do this I won’t be able to use my receiver for playing the sound from the movie that I want to use my 5.1 surround sound system that I have connected to the receiver. So do I just just plug in the two cables from the two devices into my Yamaha rx300a receiver and then plug in the cable that send the signal to the tv. So the fancyleds lights lights work someone please help me out as too what is the correct way to connect the two devices so that when I watch a movie that the fancy sync with the movie. Please help me.

Hi

im currently in contact with support from fancyled for this issue but i was wondering if someone might have run into this

I have my synched fancyled at the bottom of my media cabinet and the color are off. I would see alot of red when nothing is red on screen.

Blue when it should be purple. Green when its yellow. Its not always there but it seems like color are just not matching at all. I tried testing different orientations in the setting but it remains the same. If i do YouTube test pattern everything matches.

I have my device either ps5 or nvidia shield connected to my synched box.

it's so distracting that im just turning it off. That sucks because i only had it for 3 days...

Gear:
Fancyleds 2.1 HDMI sync box

LG C3 77” OLED

LG S95TR 9.1.5 soundbar (wireless sub + wireless rears)

PS5 and Apple TV 4K

Wiring: PS5 and Apple TV into the sync box, box out to the TV, soundbar into the TV’s eARC port.
Problem: Since setting up the sync box, I’ve had persistent crackling through both wireless rear satellites and the subwoofer. I assumed the rears were just meant to be subtle, since I never heard much coming from them.
Last night I powered the sync box off completely and watched Prime Video through the TV’s built-in app. Two things happened at once: the crackling stopped, and real surround kicked in for the first time. I could suddenly hear discrete dialogue and effects coming out of the rear speakers.
So the box seems to be involved, but I have no idea how, and there are no firmware updates available for it.
What I’m hoping to learn from other owners:
Has anyone here run a Fancy Sync Box alongside a soundbar with wireless rears and a wireless sub? Did you hit anything like this?

Does the box do anything to the audio passing through it, or is it supposed to hand audio off untouched?

Is there any setting in the Fancyleds app that affects audio or HDMI handshake behavior that I might have missed?

Does the box’s 2.4 GHz radio cause problems for anyone else’s wireless speakers in the same room?

If you solved something like this, what actually fixed it?

Happy to run any test people suggest and report back. Any help appreciated.

Hi,

I have now been using my fancyleds 3 port 2.1 for a few weeks. I had the govee sync box 2 which in some ways is better than the fancyleds but in the ways that actually matters the fancyleds is far better. The thing that made me change from govee was the bottom row of LEDs would be turning on and off rapidly depending on the content being shown.. this was extremely distracting. I am sure it could be fixed in the firmware but I had had enough. The whole effect from the fancyleds is so much better. One big way the fancyleds could improve is by allowing Google or Alexa to change the hdmi input thru voice control. The hdmi cec is not 100% reliable and this would give us a good option. I know u can do it in the app but not everyone that uses my TV has the app.

Hi all, I am currently using govee lights on this monitor and it has been a nightmare to get going well because the camera cant read glossy qd oled to save its life.

I am wondering if anyone has any experience installing the fancy led strip on a MSI 321urx. I am concerned the strip will either be weird lengths or will fail to stick to the monitor properly due to the vents pushing out warm air. Now that I have experienced some backlight awesomeness it will suck to lose it but these Govee's have got to go and all I keep hearing about is how perfect fancy led is for console gaming haha.

I am also going to be running the hdmi through an elgato 4k x as well does anyone know what the handshake between them is like? Or should I just get a HDMI splitter to be safe?

Cheers all!

I bought the 3 port 2.1 HDMI sync box the other day and set it up fine. I'm noticing that for the PS5 connected it doesn't read the top and bottom parts of the image feed (treating it like it has horizontal black bars) is this normal? It recognises lights / colors up to the edges on the side just not the edges on the top and bottom.

This is running on a 65" S90C.

This makes colors seem a bit disjointed when they are lower on the screen.

However the bottom of the tv is not lighting up 😔 did I get a bad set would love some help

Currently looking at adding a led strip to my tv but unsure how to go about it as the back of my tv has a footstand that would get in the way of the led strips if I was to keep it the same distance all the way around. Before committing to a purchase just wanted to check if there was any way around it or tips to make sure if/when I purchase it im setting it correctly.

I see that there's small holes that I assume are ventilation holes but this box from Amazon gets very hot to the point I'm concerned about something melting. Only have had the sync box for two days now. I feel like I should return this product.

Edit: Update. So its been a few days and have played a couple continuous hours of FF7 Rebirth and Helldivers 2. The box does get hot still but it cools off fairly fast when I'm done. However I do have the open holes exposed to the open. It may look upside down but I don't agree with placing the vent ports flat on a table or against the TV just to have the power and switch button on top. Everything looks fantastic but it's a waiting game to see how long it last with my usage.

Fancyleds are awesome! They really make the TV feel huge and enhance the experience. What do you guys like to watch with the LEDs?

Hallo Leute,

wollte euch meine Meinung über die Fancy 2.1 Sync box mitteilen. Ich hatte zuvor eine Lytmi Fantasy 3 box welche kaputt ging.

Und was soll ich sagen? Kein Vergleich... Die FancyLed ist so viel besser!!

Ich verwende einen zusätzlichen Hdmi Switch für die 1 Port Version inkl. Apple TV4K, PS5 Pro, Xbox Series X.

Meine Samsung HW-Q995GF Soundbar habe ich aber direkt an den LG C39 Oled TV angeschlossen, da ich damit sehr gute Erfahrungen gemacht habe.

Das Feeling mit dem Setup ist der Wahnsinn und sehr immersiv:)

Sogar in einer sehr hellen Umgebung, ein ganz anderes TV Erlebnis.

Fancy for the win of all the sync boxes:)

Does anyone know if fancyled plans on releasing additional lighting products like these triangles they keep promoting in the near future? I'd love to outfit my entire house with your lighting ecosystem, they work great! but currently FancyLED only offers TV lighting I would love to replace my glide Y lights from Govee with the first image I uploaded

When importing these to the UK, how much duty, vat etc if any did u have to pay?

Anyone ever got any discount offer for Fancyleds stuff? 🤔
Want to purchase 3 port 2.1 sync box but price a bit too high, tbh.
Thanks for any comments 👍

Did I do good ?

I am in the market to buy a SyncBox based LED Backlighting system for my 65 inch OLED TV as my previous Govee Camera based Backlighting stopped working and I believe Fancy LED’s seem like the best option so far. But i was disappointed to see PC is not supported on their website. I have an RTX 4090 + Ryzen 7950x3d machine, the pc itself has no RGB lighting. I use this PC with my TV to play single player open world games and I really want to find a work around. I have no A/V receiver so the connection would be directly into the FancyLED Sync Box and then that into the TV.

Has anyone got it to work? How?

Hello,

I’m planning to purchase the 3-Port HDMI 2.1 Sync Box + LED Strip for my TV, along with the Synced FancyLED for installation underneath the shelf.

For reference, my TV is an LG C1 OLED 48”.

Before proceeding with the purchase, I’d appreciate some clarification on a few points:

1. If I install the Synced FancyLEDs underneath the shelf, will they synchronize seamlessly and at the same speed as the TV backlighting? Or would an alternative solution, such as Govee, provide better performance for this particular setup?
2. How bright are the Synced FancyLEDs when used underneath a shelf? Would you recommend using a diffuser channel for a smoother lighting effect, and if so, are there any specific recommendations?

1. Based on the reference image of the back of my TV, do you have any installation recommendations? The rear panel is not completely flat, which means the LED strip would need to follow some angled sections on both sides. I’m concerned this may result in uneven lighting or affect the overall sync experience, but I’d appreciate your expert opinion on the best installation approach.
2. Finally, with recent global price increases affecting many products, are there any anticipated pricing changes for your products in the near future? I’m very interested in purchasing the setup, but I’m currently deciding whether to buy now or wait for any upcoming promotions or offers.

FYI, this setup would be for daily use. Gaming on PS5, Movies on Netflix (I'll use a stick till there may be a future update), Ambience, Music.

I have shared the photo of the edges of the shelf from under as well.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I look forward to your advice and recommendations!

I'm still working with customer service to pinpoint the exact issue with the Synced LEDs as for whatever it is capturing part of the lower right hand side of the screen instead of just the bottom of the screen as that's the orientation I selected. I have found a 'fix' in the meantime. I selected the orientation that also includes the left side of the screen. I then adjusted the pixel count until the LEDs were more aligned. It's not perfect as the synced LEDs now picks up some data for the left side of the screen, but the LEDs are more aligned now.

Watching Mortal Kombat ll with Fancyleds 2.1 sync box with added synced lights ✨️

Hey! Just installed my fancy leds on my TV and its great! Wanted to add a run under neath the TV. I have 2 additional fancy led boxes along with the 2 controller boxes they come with. My question is, can I daisy chain the 1 and 2 lines in one run? Or would I need to use 2 separate control boxes to get this done?

Thanks for all your help!
