Philips Smart Lighting has launched its Home Entertainment Lighting lineup through TV Sync technology. Whether you’re watching a movie or gaming, syncing your lights to on-screen colors is designed to bring the ambiance to life.
Three products were officially launched today: Screen Sync, HDMI Sync 2.0, and HDMI Sync 2.1, introduced by Dedy Bagus Pramono, President Director of Signify Commercial Indonesia.
At the launch event held at Philips Smart Lighting House, Pondok Indah, on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, Dedy said there’s been a noticeable shift as consumers increasingly invest in home entertainment setups.
“Better TVs, bigger screens, high definition, people are willing to invest in gaming consoles, sound systems, and home theaters too,” Dedy told media.
“There’s one more piece: home entertainment lighting, which makes watching TV and gaming more immersive. Without lighting that follows the color changes on screen, the TV is just a regular display. But with the right lighting support, we get pulled further into the atmosphere happening on screen,” he explained.
Screen Sync
Philips Smart Lighting Screen Sync comes with a camera and a TV Backlight Strip that syncs lighting color with on-screen visuals in real time, complete with convenient instant calibration.
This experience can be extended throughout the room using Gradient Light Bars and a Gradient Floor Light, while the HDMI Sync lineup includes an HDMI Sync Box that can connect to various HDMI devices, such as set-top boxes and game consoles.
Dedy noted that Screen Sync is the most broadly compatible option, working across all TV types and sizes ranging from 40 to 85 inches. Screen Sync uses a camera capable of detecting color changes across the entire TV screen.
HDMI Sync 2.0 and 2.1
HDMI Sync 2.0 is designed specifically for users with a set-top box. This product can synchronize lighting at resolutions up to 4K and 60fps. HDMI Sync 2.1, meanwhile, goes further with support for 8K resolution and refresh rates up to 120Hz.
What a Gaming Creator Thinks
Gaming content creator and YouTuber Afif Yulistian took part in the Philips Smart Lighting TV Sync launch. Having tried the previous generation, Apip said HDMI Sync 2.1 feels significantly more responsive and real-time.
“For gamers, when you’re in the middle of an intense boss fight, you might end up throwing your controller, but maybe with Philips lights, that won’t happen anymore, because you’ll feel just how intense that boss fight really is,” Apip joked.
“And honestly, I don’t think I need to throw my controller anymore, the ambiance already makes the intensity felt. (HDMI Sync 2.1) is more responsive and immersive, definitely worth trying,” he added.
A Multitalented Perspective
At the same event, Raditya Dika, the multitalented writer, comedian, director, actor, and YouTuber, also shared his thoughts on Philips Smart Lighting TV Sync.
Radit mentioned that his kids enjoy visiting his office and have really taken to the lighting experience TV Sync provides.
“It’s actually interesting, when it comes to streaming platforms, it turns out this experience works great with YouTube too. My kid loves watching history videos, like ones about volcanic eruptions. It turns out that works really well too, not just narrative storytelling, but other YouTube content also becomes more enjoyable, like a nice bonus touch,” Radit said.
Pricing
Philips Smart Lighting TV Sync is available for purchase today through the Philips Lighting Store. Prices start at around Rp 1.1 million, going up to Rp 2.3-2.6 million for combination bundles that include the floor light.
Vouchers are also available, along with an ongoing Payday Sale, making the current pricing on Philips Smart Lighting TV Sync even more attractive.
With compatibility spanning a wide range of TV sizes, separate tiers for 4K and 8K setups, and genuine endorsement from both a gaming creator and a well-known multitalented personality, Philips is clearly betting that ambient lighting will become as standard a home entertainment upgrade as a soundbar or a bigger TV in the years ahead.
