I just bought the T3 Lite solely for the reason that it represents blacks better. As I don't want a visible light in the background if the screen is supposed to be black(I seen another side-by-side comparison that showed the t2 not perform as well with blacks also). I'm willing to make the sacrifice on performance for that reason. Hopefully it works out for me. I'm about to set it up today.
I was watching your video and thinking, okay... Some interesting points, maybe he's on to something... Until... I got to the part where you say you can't have a completely dark experience with the T2. Either your setup is wrong or your T2 is defective. Mine does complete blackout, so much so, that I often forget to turn it off when I shut down the TV because I can't see it's on. Considering this, I can't really take the rest of what you are saying on board.
Without you been able to compare next to each other you don’t get it but feel free to think whatever you think nobody is asking you to believe in me. Have a great day.
@@MADpack@MADpack look, I meant no hate, but I genuinely think that you got it wrong in many points. I had a look at another comparison, and whilst the T3 came up a bit better in some areas, the overall result was that the T2 is better. This was a side by side, frame by frame comparison . The T3 lite is not considered an upgrade on the T2 by the majority of Govee enthusiasts, on the contrary, and the price corroborates this. I can say that some of the defects the other reviewer mentioned on his video, I don't have them (I don't have almost none of what you mentioned for the T2), but I do have others. The reason for this is quite simple, every device, unless mounted on exactly the same TV in exactly the same way/conditions, needs a different configuration. Having helped a few people set up their T2, which they initially couldn't get to work properly, I can guarantee that my settings won't fit their situation. Different screen sizes, different screen reflectivities, different lighting in the room, even different TV tables (or stuff placed underneath the TV) will result in different performance results. In the end, I felt your review is a bit misleading, although I admit that it probably wasn't your intention and you do genuinely believe the T3 is better, but only because your test conditions might not fit the T2 as well as they did the T3. I genuinely wish you success in your channel and, if I could suggest something, I would probably say that when you are claiming something, then you should back it up with proof (video comparison, ideally) and always do a disclaimer regarding the fact that the results are your personal opinion under your specific testing conditions and might vary for other people.
I Thought madmac was offering constructive feedbacks and a different perspective? I really appreciated your review, as I always do, ( whether agreeing or not), but as did I for madmac’s. I dunno if I missed something, but by the answer you gave it seems you took it the wrong way perhaps.
No that's not true what he said t3 is not better than T2 and I get all kinds of greens and all the colors I don't know how he calibrated his but mine's is perfect and I have a 55-in 4K TV and it's excellent and all the colors way better than the t3
Sorry if you have a product and you get upset that the new version is better… accept that it hurts less :) if yours is better why would I sell my t2? I have no interest to talk better about one or the other. I helped more than 75.000 people having a better colour grading is the video of settings for the t2 with more views but it’s a bad calibration share your knowledge
@@MADpack on your calibration bring it down to 14 on your brightness bring it down to 57 And on your relative brightness make everything at 50%. Make sure your camera angle is correct in the center of your TV Is that simple And it also depends on what name brand TV or what kind of TV you have And make sure you're in vivid mode it's perfect and put it in video mode for the T2
I have the t2. After reading your comment. I just double checked, and on the dark sides, (on horror movies) i literally looked at the led strips, and they are off on the dark side of the screen. Im curious why you are so adamant about it being lit, when you have commenters says the same thing as i. You do get complete darkness. Maybe it's a saturation tweak. I lowered mine all down, who knows but, please take my word, and several other commenters, the T2 does give full darkness on the dark sides of the screen
Thank you for your comment. But what’s the point to have a light that is brighter but less accurate? Onbliously it you have the double of LEDs per metre is brighter but that doesn’t make me want to spend more when the cheaper one is so much superior
To be honest I didn’t even try because there where no point for me putting it on the bottom after doing it on the t2 I can say for fact that will be the same without a problem if you do the same has I’ve done with the t2
One thing you aren't accounting for, I (like many others) have my tv on a bracket, coming away from the wall...so it effectively "floats" it eliminates any bounced lighting interference and gives much better colour accuracy
I have the t2 and 3 lite. And I’m telling you the t2 is better. Done side by side comparisons. And it’s an overall clear winner. So go for T2. And it isn’t the T3, it’s the 3 lite. Hence it doesn’t have full features.
Great that you have done side by side.. I also have and was not the same result completely opposite… the t2 is not able to do properly greens per example and the t3 lite was able to do that.
For anyone coming back to this, I also have both and the T2 is miles better in terms of colour accuracy and consistency and how bright it can get. I think with tweaking T2 is miles ahead of the T3 Lite but if you just want it put of the box the T3 Lite is better as requires less messing in the settings
@c5cha7 after more than 100.000 views on my settings of the t2 and having adjust so much the setting and seems that I manage to help so many people on that subject I don't see where the t2 is better… I would like that you tell me in what is miles better
Hi man i do have not the best lens for the Canon M6 so what you are seeing is not really how it is in real life more than 150.000 views and loads of shares and positive comments show me that the settings are working for a lot of people have you try? Thank you in advance
I agree, my T2 is perfect compared to my T3 Lite. The settings might be off here but could alsondepend on room. I think I'll return my T3 Lite for the Pro when they release that and then hopefully if it's good enough I can decomission my T2
@c5cha7 i reqlly wanted to where is better the t2.. Is your second comment with this seems you are looking to hear that you are right but is just you 2 guys with does thoughts :)
@@MADpack hey man we're not attacking you, I can see that you strongly think a high viewer count is your justification here but I like many others in the govee community have expressed how the T2 is better than the T3 Lite, and I'm just reiterating that the T2 is just as good, the colours pop more and the colours are bright.
@c5cha7 not thinking that you are attacking but you are saying that colours pop more.. And here we have your answer. You prefer the t2 because is brighter so if you have more light it makes the colour stronger but the colour accuracy is much inferior compared to a t3… when we talk about a back light to the tv is to make it bigger but you want a light that over take the tv so yeah in that case it do that and it kills the immersion that you have if you want that and accuracy just buy the nanoleaf 4D until now the best backlight tv I tested
i have a t2 right now with 5 devices connected to it. ive been pondering if i should buy the t3 lite or just wait for the t3 pro at this point? id love to connect more than 5 Govee devices to a hub
@@MADpack i dont want more cameras. one camera grabs the image and speads it out across 5 different govee lights (2 sets of the Y lights, two tower lights, roof lights. i wanna put more than 5 damn it! lol
@coreyvazquez1395 I’m sure you will love it the only miss point on this is the at I wanted a bit brighter I believe that’s the reason they are developing the t3 pro
Thanks for this comparison. In the end I decided to upgrade my T2 to the T3 lite. I think it is much improved with the quicker response times and I like the way the lights now go off when the screen goes dark. I thought the setup looked easier especially as I had done it before and didn't involve cutting the light strip. I also don't have any other lights to pair with either system. I think the more subtle lights from the T3 Lite are great. They create a much larger screen feeling but are not too bright so do not distract from what is happening on the Tv. It is only when there is a sustained dark picture that you notice they have turned off and realise what a difference they are making. I also appreciated your calibration video which greatly improved their performance.
@matsprey-fg9eq thank you so much for your comment have you saw also my comparison with the Nanoleaf 4D because you may prefer the Nanoleaf 4D have a look on my comparison … thank you for the comment again and happy that my settings they are working for you
@Armadillo312 have you done a proper tv calibration? Because govee t3 lite still have to much issues with the reds and the Samsung tvs are really saturated
Hello can you suggest me whether I should go for 3 lite or T2 because the LED count is only half and that way it might not feel as immersive. I will have to ship to another country, the price will be much higher after adding custom duty and I will not change it again and again, so which one will be the best for overall experience? I was using Lytmi Neo 3 but it's dead now because of USB C-type and for that reason I've to buy one to get the similar experience. Which one would you suggest ?@@MADpack
I have already asked about to govee and they told me that for now the govee t3 pro is still not ready and we need to wait they still don’t know when they can send me a unit

T2 blows the 3 away for daytime usage, thats why it costs more even if it is an older model.

Does the T3 lite perform the same whether you mount it on the top or bottom?
