Hello, thank you very much for the video. I bought this product, but I would like to know if it is normal for the camera to remain so hot all the time even with everything turned off, I appreciate your response.
Went ahead and purchased. I'd love to see TV manufacturers change the EARC to allow output for wired devices. The Phillips Hue uses HDMI 2.0, which sucks coz I view content via my smart TV and PC at 4k 120hz. So this is the best option, coz the only way to use the Phillips is via HDMI 2.0, killing my 4k 120hz. They are very shortsighted. OBTW, using the HDMI passthrough horribly downgrades signal. To get the perfect exact color and timing for a lighting kit, we Samsung or LG need to create an extra EVARC channel that you can hook these directly to the TV set.
@@nunchk9542 Whether it's HDMI 2.0 or 2.1, it doesn't change the fact that the HDMI Sync Box won't work for certain apps like Netflix because of DRM protection or whatever it's called. A camera-based lighting system looks to be superior to HDMI-based lighting systems.
@@PSYCHOV3N0M That is correct, unless you use Netflix on a PC browser, or PC app, and use Phillips Hue program on your PC. They can't block that. This is how I used my Hue System until I purchased this new system. I prefer the lights on this, even though I'm not a fan of the large camera. While this is the best current option. The exact match of an HDMI cord is vastly more accurate. But having 120hz is more important to me. And the brightness and full loop on this system is more appealing.
Can I ask where you get these demo videos you were playing on your tv screen to demonstrate the colours and movement of the strip lighting as I’ve just bought and set up the t2 tv strip and pretty underwhelmed at the moment, whether it’s light coming in from outside or I need to alter the colours in the app, saturation etc I don’t know as the instructions pretty poor as well. Thanks mate
I've been trying to ask Govee this but haven't been getting a clear answer. I have the T1 TV Lights. But it cannot read Blacks and Whites properly. All other colors are pretty fine, but when it comes to dark scenes or blacks, the lights don't turn off (I would expect them to being RGBIC), and when there are whites or even skin tones, the colors go bizarre, probably blue or something else. But there isn't a pure white. Is this the case with T2 or has there been an improvement?
@@jonathancastro7377 nope sadly not. This isn't the case with everyone i think. I have a friend with the same setup but the lights do show white at least when the screen is white. Issue still remains the same for me :( did you try asking Govee support?
@@PraneetTulshyan damn, I couldn’t figure it out either. I’m going to try to give them a call sometime this week, if I get an answer I’ll shoot you a message
is the camera visibility on the top a big deal or is it only me? I really want to get one but not being able to mount it on the bottom seems like a dealbreaker for me. What are your suggestions? I've seen a video on how you can place the camera on the table however I feel the colour reproduction would not be as accurate as it will aslo pick up colour from the LED lights themselves
I've seen this sort of thing before, and I'm curious about it, but for watching a movie would you not find the light behind the tv changing frequently to be more of a distraction than anything else? I could see it being cool for gaming (and maybe a video on how quickly it responds to fast paced gaming scenes could be interesting!) but I think it'd just draw my eyes away from the screen for movies.
Disappointing that we can't upgrade that system and add Govee Light Bars to it for instance on each sides of the TV. We're basically stuck with only 1 strip
My Problem is: I need to go almost to blue completely in white balacing for getting good white. But If I do, grey looks like blue in ambilight. If I calibrate grey better and go from 2 to 3 points right from the left, then white looks more yellowish instead of pure white. The T1 did this way better with no issues. Beside this, it's really good!
Better off calibrating thr screen to yellow, thrn adjust white balance. Find a yellow blank video on you tune, calibrate thd strip to the yellow onscreen. If you have white balance to far towards cool, yellow comes out green. As the strips cannot do pure white like lyra can, it's best to calibrate to the coloyr of yellow
There are two models 55-65 and 75-85 but even though the C1 is smaller, yes you can but you will either have to remove the protective coating and bundle it up making it overall smaller around or loop the remaining length around at the bottom which way overlap some colors. Also the first option voids your warranty so careful what you do
Thanks for showing this to us, it looks absolute shit, I can't believe the colors can be so wrong where the dominant color is clear watching at the screen.
I just got an oled and I’m afraid if using the led strip on the back due to the heat it gives out. I saw a video on another channel where their oled had dead pixels all around the edges plus he is a led backlight enthusiast.
Not saying that is what caused the pixels to go out……but heat is bad for oled if I remember. I have the earlier variant of the govee back light on my led and they can get pretty warm.
@@jmactruth7 Even if I did that, who's to say that I would get the right size? Sure I can measure everything. But remember you can't cut RGBIC, at least according to Govee.
@@Peterstarzynskitech That is correct. I’m currently installing these lights on my 86” LG QNED & just got the lights in place on the back & it’s going to work perfectly. Without knowing your TV setup, as long as you’re close to the “75-85inch” range you’ll be good. A friend of mine has them on an 85” & they look phenomenal & the reason I decided to get them

As an Ambilight owner, I can confirm backlights are fantastic and really enhance movies and games. I don't think I could go back to not having one!
do you have the camera mounted on the top of the tv?
@@jotarokujo-xn2xx Ambilight TVs don’t have a camera 👍

Yes thank you😊
Wish you HAD gone through the camera setup , can’t get mine to work
I'm having the same prob
is it possible to install it on a small monitor? like 32 inches?
Hello, thank you very much for the video. I bought this product, but I would like to know if it is normal for the camera to remain so hot all the time even with everything turned off, I appreciate your response.
Should the T2 backlight be set on smooth, vivid or solid?
How does the foam stay on the screen ? It's not anything to sticky is it? I have an oled and honestly I'm a bit afraid of messing it up 😅

not sure if warks with my Samsung qled tv 2022 im not seeing nothing on my screan only on back tv
Is the camera adjustable? I have a sky glass and it's quite a chucky tv .
I bought the 55 inch version for my 55 inch q95 Samsung and the LED strip is waaaaaaay to big, the corners of the LEDs loop out too far 🫤
How did you get the different colors on the tv screen? I installed the t2, but I think I need to tune the colors.
I got a 70 inch and they offer up to 65” and from 75” terms of size… any advise? Do you cut it to size from the bigger?
They have 75 - 85 inch as well
Does this require Wi-Fi to work at all times or just for set up?

Just go on youtube. The app you are watching this on lol

Do u have to start it up in an app on tv every time you turn on your tv? Or does it start up automatically?
Both is possible if you want. There are new options available in the app.
How does this work with lgc1 and Ps5? any lag?
thanks for the video. are there any issues installing the camera at the bottom of the TV?

A lot of people have said you get used to it over time to the point of forgetting it’s there😄
I've seen this sort of thing before, and I'm curious about it, but for watching a movie would you not find the light behind the tv changing frequently to be more of a distraction than anything else?
I could see it being cool for gaming (and maybe a video on how quickly it responds to fast paced gaming scenes could be interesting!) but I think it'd just draw my eyes away from the screen for movies.
Thats why I said I would dial the brightness and saturation down so its more subtle.
Mine doesn’t follow the light around the tv so all the lights are always the same colour not different
Check you have it set to the TV correctly
can i calibrate this w/o connecting it to wifi?
I have the original govee. Is it possible to just upgrade camera?
No. The T2 set has double the LEDs on the strip
My apps not picking them up
Any reason why? T2
Please do the Dreamview connect video with the other light bars 🙏🏼✨ I would appreciate it
The color matching doesn’t seem very good, like why is it showing purple for a blue sky?
Can you mount the camera at the bottom?
You totally can, just gotta flip the regions shown on the app when you're calibrating
I have the tv in the corner of my living room. Would this screw up the effect...... not being on one wall?
It probably wouldnt spread that well being at an angle. still worth it though just reorganize your setup
I have the 48" LG CX, would these strips be too big for it or can you kinda make it work?
I think so they are almost the full width of the 55"
Yeah made it work on my
Lg c1 48inch led T1 just what you have left over let it hang down wards and use the pins stick stuff to hold it side ways
Disappointing that we can't upgrade that system and add Govee Light Bars to it for instance on each sides of the TV. We're basically stuck with only 1 strip
You can use dreamview to connect the bars. This is the new way.
How much clearance between the wall and TV is needed to mount the camera. I only have 7cm of space.
the closer to the wall the better.
Is it work with laser TV ?
the first smoke color Vidoe could you send the link
Can you please make a setup video I would greatly appreciate it
What size is the TV?
The manufacturer advertise it for TV's up to 85", Is it possible to use it with a 120" projector screen ?
I think that would be too big, get the strip reel instead
@@allthingstech That's what I was thinking as well however it'd be really nice to have the lights sync with the picture
No matter compatibility? Can’t use Siri voice control? ☹️
Can you put the hover camera at the bottom
Instead of the top of your tv
I believe so. You just have to calibrate everything in reverse.
The link is for the T1
Are you UK?
@@allthingstech yes mate
