00:00:00.040 --> 00:00:06.480
two years ago James checked out version one of the goie AI sync box well they're

00:00:04.880 --> 00:00:10.120
back again sponsoring this video for us to check out Gen 2 they make one that's

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:16.199
compatible with their TV as well but we're going to check out the PC

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:18.840
one we're the AI sync box actually takes

00:00:16.199 --> 00:00:23.560
your HDMI input from your devices and then has an output to your

00:00:20.920 --> 00:00:27.240
TV and using that signal it can use its AI calculations to actually project

00:00:25.720 --> 00:00:31.519
lights onto your wall so you can get a more immersive experience but let's see

00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:35.200
what it comes with here paper quick start guide which is more paper oh this

00:00:33.160 --> 00:00:38.960
is the sync box itself oh wow it's got four HDMI inputs and one out that's

00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:42.520
actually one more than last year's model and these HDMI inputs are actually 2.1

00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:46.480
as well meaning you can go all the way up to 8K 60 which you probably won't do

00:00:44.760 --> 00:00:52.280
cuz you don't have an 8K TV but that means you can do 4K 144 which is

00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:53.760
fantastic for gaming and 1440p at 240

00:00:52.280 --> 00:00:56.559
it's got everything and then it's also got two outputs here in type c and

00:00:55.359 --> 00:01:01.600
that's for connecting the lights that actually come with this kit here the last connector is just the power on the

00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.799
back here and then RGB strip all along because this sits on your desk in front

00:01:03.440 --> 00:01:08.759
of you while you're gaming and it can do RGB diffusion as well and these are the

00:01:06.760 --> 00:01:13.000
two goie light bars here they each sit on either side of your monitor with the

00:01:10.520 --> 00:01:16.159
LEDs facing the wall away from where you're sitting so they can diffuse on

00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:20.920
the wall here and they connect with your type-c to those ports we talked about

00:01:18.000 --> 00:01:24.920
earlier got some nice sleeved HDMI cables for two of them I guess one going

00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:29.640
in from whatever console or PC and then back to your monitor in this box here we

00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:33.920
have the RGB icw LED strip which now featur features 75 LEDs per meter

00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:36.720
instead of 60 it's all rolled up nicely for you with a 3M sticky on the back for

00:01:35.799 --> 00:01:40.520
you to be able to stick it to your monitor 15 more LEDs might not sound

00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:46.159
like a lot but it really does help with more color contrast and more variety in

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.200
your color diffusion oh these are the

00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.640
stands I thought this was actually just the goie logo itself there's one power

00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:56.719
cable there that's the barrel end Jack comes with a little screwdriver what are

00:01:54.360 --> 00:02:00.240
we screwing 3M sticky pads this is for the light strips for sticking behind

00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:06.039
your monitor on your TV your TV cabinet whatever that's a very big bag for six

00:02:02.960 --> 00:02:08.039
screws these towers are also RGB icw

00:02:06.039 --> 00:02:12.640
meaning they added a white LED over last year which helps with brightness color

00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:15.920
accuracy diffusion again overall these RGB lights are better than last year's

00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:21.560
we're going to go install our RGB strip on the back of our monitor really quick where did I put the me clips oh there

00:02:19.640 --> 00:02:26.599
they are looks like we have some clips left over from our last video that

00:02:24.319 --> 00:02:30.480
might make this very easy to mount then installation's overall pretty easy you

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:33.560
just need to peel the 3M off this but you want to also make sure you use the

00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:38.200
included alcohol pads to wipe down wherever you're going to be sticking it

00:02:35.440 --> 00:02:43.080
in our case around the clip area along the sides here they have actually short

00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:46.440
sides on the LED which go on the short side of your monitor and then the long

00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.239
side so it actually is kind of hard to mess it up this Kit's compatible with

00:02:47.959 --> 00:02:54.720
the 27 to 34in gaming monitors and then the TV one ranges from 55 all the way up

00:02:52.760 --> 00:02:57.319
to 85 depending on which kit you buy using some of the clips to hold the

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:00.920
corners down just so they're out of the way but it was pretty quick install

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:05.400
overall we unfortunately have this open cap in R monitor which caused it to kind

00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:09.120
of do this W motion it still sticks very well it's going to be totally fine once

00:03:07.239 --> 00:03:12.920
we actually get the LEDs on have to swap out our DisplayPort cable for the

00:03:10.760 --> 00:03:17.840
included HDMI ones this one goes from our GPU into the Inn on the goie box

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.040
which again this features four HDMI ins so you could use it as an HDMI switcher

00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:28.760
which is pretty cool it's not even advertised for that but hey why not the USB from the strips here going into this

00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:34.000
output and then the HDMI from the monitor is going into the HDMI

00:03:31.920 --> 00:03:38.080
output and then our towers are already plugged in as well are they labeled left

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:42.720
and right they're labeled G for go wherever the hell you want a there we go

00:03:40.680 --> 00:03:46.840
okay so the two buttons on the side here this back one is for power this one is

00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:50.439
the toggle between the four HDMI ports and when you're toggling each section

00:03:48.920 --> 00:03:54.280
kind of lights up to let you know which one you're in so 1 2 3 or four took a

00:03:52.760 --> 00:03:57.519
little bit to figure that out but we're here with our computer connected let's

00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.879
see if we can actually test the colors here oh wow without even fully setting

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:05.239
up the yet you can see the light Trail going all the way down it's pretty cool

00:04:04.280 --> 00:04:10.360
I think later in this video there's color wheel too W that's not the coolest

00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:14.159
feature though it boasts a feature called cogn glow as well which is an AI

00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:18.000
tool that can read whatever game you're playing and give you led effects based

00:04:16.600 --> 00:04:23.600
on what you're doing which we're going to check out but an example is if you're healing an apex it actually like charges

00:04:21.639 --> 00:04:27.720
your health bar it's pretty cool let's go let's play a game so just walking

00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:31.199
around the map you can see changes based on whatever object we have so we have

00:04:29.280 --> 00:04:35.120
kind of a more yellowy Brown object and the light even changes going out to the

00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:40.639
daylight it's pretty cool but let's test like a flashbang let's see if it just blinds us

00:04:38.039 --> 00:04:43.639
here I definitely turned that one to bright white we haven't even adjusted

00:04:42.280 --> 00:04:47.120
the settings in the app yet so I don't know if this is Max brightness or not

00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:52.280
but maybe on Max brightness it'll actually like flashbang you which would be kind of funny it does give a feeling

00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.800
like you're entering indoors just because it's so bright from the outside

00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:59.280
and then as you walk in everything kind of just dims around you and the good

00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.720
news is if you already have some lights set up you could actually pair it

00:05:00.960 --> 00:05:06.639
with this box already using their AI dream view which allows you to maybe

00:05:04.680 --> 00:05:11.360
sync all of them together increasing your Ambience the environment around you

00:05:08.759 --> 00:05:14.520
as you walk in it all dims or flashbang yourself we didn't pair this led just

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.800
because we wanted to test the kit that it comes with and it's already pretty

00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:22.360
good even on this blue wall which is probably like the worst case scenario so

00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:27.000
our brightness was actually at 100% which is fine but you can also adjust relative brightness so you could just

00:05:25.080 --> 00:05:30.639
have the bars go brighter than the backlight or vice versa but there's a

00:05:28.840 --> 00:05:35.639
saturation slide here I'm going to crank that up to 100% is it different okay in

00:05:33.120 --> 00:05:41.199
in person it's very subtle oh wow that's way more noticeable

00:05:39.080 --> 00:05:46.400
when it's already very dark and then you flashbang that's pretty cool I could

00:05:43.440 --> 00:05:49.520
imagine like having a full room of this it' be pretty funny if somehow like

00:05:48.280 --> 00:05:52.880
you're playing a game and actually just go blind there's one effect I think in

00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:58.120
League where you get like a double kill and then a triple kill and even a Penta kill the lights will change I'm not that

00:05:56.280 --> 00:06:02.160
good to test that one but it's those kind of features that the AI box really

00:06:00.039 --> 00:06:05.560
shines through for in-game events to help increase your immersion some other

00:06:04.039 --> 00:06:09.880
Mis stuff it's compatible with smart home features with matter support vrr as

00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:13.599
well as autol low latency mode and overall I think it does really help to

00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:18.520
the immersion of whatever you're either watching or you're playing for $280 the

00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:23.000
PC kit including the two lamps the LED strips the 4-in-1 HDMI box which doubles

00:06:21.400 --> 00:06:26.919
as an HDMI splitter it's a pretty compelling offer to help increase your

00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:31.000
immersion in your game or your movies and the TV kit actually starts at 240 so

00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:35.440
if you just want to increase your movie watching or your couch console games I

00:06:33.360 --> 00:06:38.400
think it's kind of a fine offer to have and it looks sleek too but let us know

00:06:37.080 --> 00:06:41.759
what you guys think down below thanks again for sponsoring this video

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.199
maybe go check out the first version that James did almost two years ago so

00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:47.160
that way you can see some of the differences
