Philips TV + Sync Box

I’m aware that Philips TVs, since 2023, don’t support adding additional Hue lights. Everywhere I read, it states that one need the Hue Sync Box. My question is, if I get the Hue Sync Box will I be able to also use the Ambilight from the TV, meaning, the original lights that the tv brings? How does the Hue box detect the tv? Or would I need to buy the strip to put around the tv, pretty much, on top of the existing lights of the tv?
