I found it didn't work for the t2, I did that with the t1 no problem. With the t2 it wouldn't calibrate properly, as soon as I used the orange pads it was night and day difference. Not sure if it's just my new tv or what
I recently upgraded as I got a larger tv, the T2 is much better. I had the t1 dialed in as good as you could, had it for a couple years and used it daily. Its taken me a bit to get used to the t2. I found I had to use the orange pads instead of the TH-cam video I used with the T1, it just wouldn't calibrate properly, once the orange pads were on it literally self calibrated perfectly, the t1 you had to completely adjust them manually. The white balance was harder to get right, after that I find the color to be way more accurate then the t1. Much better orange and yellow, skin tones are light pink. It still really struggles with green though. There's also double the amount of leds so you get a way better seperation in colors, especially around the corners. I do find it very sensitive, if the screen is transitioning quickly alot it reacts very fast and almost flickers as its keeping up with the screen. Id recommend the T2 over the T1. I got it on sale and with a coupon i paid $150 CDN for the 75". The T1 75" version was $130 so it was a no brainer. The T3 is in development, has same amount of LEDs as the T1 but 4 colors per led resulting in supposed very accurate colors like the screen itself.
Thanks for posting this just recently got one of the corner wall glides and the floor lamp. Had no idea I could sync them all together but now that I know I'm definitely getting this for the TV thanks for posting!
I think if you have the correct size for your tv with the T1 right now, I wouldn't spend the $ to upgrade. If you don't have either though I'd say get the T2, or if u have the 55"-65" T1 on a 75" or 85" tv I would say upgrade if you like a lot of brightness. The T2 really illuminates out more.
Hello. I just got a Govee TV Backlight T2 from a friend. I was unboxing the package and realized there is no stick on orange blocks in it. What should I do? Are the blocks necessary for the set-up?
They are just reference points to be able to spot those corners easier when going through setup. So technically you don't actually need them. If you could find something that you could put on each area of your TV where the orange foam pieces are supposed to go, you would be good to go. Probably something a little brighter so you can see it. Something that isn't going to stick to the TV and ruin it when you need to remove it. Maybe even some of those neon post it notes. The mini ones would probably work perfect. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.. ))
Thank you. Ya it works with everything. It's the camera capturing the light, so it really has nothing to do with what's on or where it's coming from. As long as there's light emitting from TV the backlight will match it.. hope that helps.
Thank you for your video. I watched it all the way threw once and now I'm watching it again while I set up my back light 3s. My room is Govee'd out with all the different ones I have and I think this will be the one that lays it out ✌🏼️I have the glide,floor lamp pro, 2 rgbic strip,and 4bulbs. So far!
Awesome just keep the list growing. I've been doing this for a few years now and I must say Govee is definitely in the top 3 in terms of connection, stability, app ease/layout, and certainly personality. I've never had a problem with any devices failing or losing connection so it's definitely a great brand to add to for your home.
Many users are wanting to know if you can put a backlight for 55-65 inch tvs on a 50 inch tv.What are your thoughts?I personally think you could np with a little bit of innovation and placement especially at the corners where you looped the cord
Yeah you certainly could. Exactly like you said with the corners just make sure you tape them down otherwise you'll get a shadow on the wall since there's a little extra slack on each corner now. Definitely doable.
Thank you.. )) Yes you can have it match TV colors, bounce to noise, run off of your own scenes, or just leave it any single color. So Yes you can.. ))
I got mine yesterday, got it pretty good with calibration, only thing I cannot get working in multicolor. Ive tried the color wheel that i see people using when calibrating and the colors follow along with the wheel, so me it goes white. my saturation is at 25% (tried from 1-100), white balance 65%, and brightness is 50%
@@threadchemistry Thanks for replying to an old video. Was just wondering if you may have a fix to why mine wont show multiple colors at once. Like 2+ it will either stay one color or go full white.
Gosh it's been so long I can't even remember the setup. Have you tried Govee? If not you can email them at support@govee.com they should be able to answer best for you!
That wouldn't work bc the 3m is on the wrong side. You clip the strip in the front and the 3m on back so there's no real good way to be able to hold the wiring down if the 3M is on the opposite side. If that makes sense.. Great question though.
Is that an actual outlet? Or is it a In wall power kit? Im asking because Ive been told that you cannot plug an extension into those kits and the should be plugged directly into a wall outlet not a Power Kit. I returned my Govee T2 because the AC adapter was to large and I couldnt plug the TV and it in at the same time....
All you have to do is go to Home Depot or lowes and they sell those as whole kits to install. They're pretty convenient actually if u are familiar with dunning wire.
So it is an outlet. Just a "dented" mold, for lack of better words. You cut out a hole and instal the mold and run the wiring and it'll be flush with your wall so you can push tv back
I mean you don't leave it on there forever. Just while calibrating. Then they just come right off. Keep that little sheet they came on and you can reuse them
Ha. I actually put the immersion in my room after I bought the t2. I know what u mean about the camera but remember this one has 2 cameras in it. Immersion only had 1. So that does take up a little more space.
Just installed the T2 on my 65”… it’s cool, but not a game changer when watching movies… I got it on sale for $109,,, not sure it’s worth anything more than that amount…
@@threadchemistryyup, I get how Amazon works.. for a hundred bucks, I might keep it but as I mentioned in my initial comment, I’m not sure I’d pay more than that for it..
I do have 1 very small little section that won't cooperate but other than that it's alright. I just constantly adjusted everything till I had it where I wanted it. Or as close to as possible.
Hey (love "tattooed chicks" btw. 😁) Yes you will be perfectly fine in a corner setup. The light has to reflect back a little further so might give you a small lag but I'm talking such a short lag it's probably not even detectable by the human eye. So go for it girl.. ))
Nope you will be good. When you set it up you have to select a coverage area for the camera. Basically a box aiming only on your TV. Even if the camera can see areas outside the TV it wont process anything outside of the box you build which should be around the edges of the TV. Make sense?
@@threadchemistry@threadchemistry Do you mean that if the camera is set well and only frames the areas of the television, the rest doesn't bother it, not even a few slight reflections?
If the camera is set well and you set the points for the camera we'll then you will be fine. Basically the camera doesn't see anything but what's on tour TV.
Bah.. Dude your jealousy is so transparent you even waste time commenting ridiculous sh*t like this. I understand you obviously know how pathetic you are, but can't do anything about it. As much as you try to be "cool" you know it'll never happen so you troll online for self-assurance. You should've just written that. The comment says everything about you. All you are is just a simple negative mistake. I feel for ya man. Wish u the best. Hope you can find the help you need. Hey, thanks for the comment though. Every comment helps. Much appreciated. Good luck.
Technically you could make it work, but the LED strip for the back of the TV is a certain length. The largest being for 75"-85" TVs. So if you were to apply that LED to the back of the screen you could only place it in a square as big as the strip is. So the bigger the screen the smaller area the LED strip will cover which would block some of the color that reflects out.. So yes it could work. Would I do it? Prolly not.
@@threadchemistry I guess I didn’t think about the bleed through! I only have to do 3 side of the screen but I was just curious! Thanks for input! I guess I could by them and 👀 if I can make it work or return them!
You most certainly could. But you wouldn't be able to use the full length for 3 sides since they're separated by wire for the corners of the TV. Like where you have to bend it. Plus how the camera reads. But if you give it a shot plz let me know. I don't recommend but I'm still super curious if you could rig something or trick the settings somehow. Hah
I'm just not sure. If there is a space that the camera could sit on then you could definitely use it. You just have to make sure there's somewhere strary the camera could see the whole screen.
Hmm. Ya if you have everything calibrated and set right, I've never heard of one not working at that point. Ya reset it and double check all your settings. If not email support@govee.com with your receipt or order # and they'll send you a new one.. no matter where u bought it.
I played one of the test videos from you tube. There are colored balls that travel around the border of the tv. Shouldn’t the light strips follow them around and change to the color of the ball. Not sure why I’m having an issue with setup. I have the Govee RGBIC. THANKS AGAIN
Лучше бы сделали два модуля с камерами. Один сверху, а другой снизу. А лучше было бы если в каждых углах по камере😏. А так это нестоит даже 50 долларов!

I bought a T2 recently (I have an LG OLED) and have yet to install. My concern is the orange blocks that you use for calibration. will the removal of the blocks hurt the screen?
best video on youtube...no kids...no dogs...no joking around !....straight to to the points....other posters should take notes from you !
Bahahah. That's awesome. Thank you!
Would it work on a 42 inch tv. I don’t wanna get the lighter version but I also don’t wanna spend hundreds to upgrade my tv to a 55 inch
Yea I'm betting you could. Just place it as far out to the edges as possible. Maybe overlap what's left. Should be fine..
Found out you can put the calibration video from TH-cam on instead of the foam bits, for anyone not wanting the little leftover mark.
Do what now?
I found it didn't work for the t2, I did that with the t1 no problem.
With the t2 it wouldn't calibrate properly, as soon as I used the orange pads it was night and day difference.
Not sure if it's just my new tv or what
How can the camera reds automatic the colors when i want to watch movies or playing games
I'm not quite sure what you mean here.

From the bottom issue? Was that your problem?

the camera goes in the center of the TV. Does it need to be attached to the 3m tape, or is it just sits there?
It just sits there kinda. It has a folding back to kind of move the center of gravity back and rubber for grip. Hips very well actually
Your saturation is completely wrong. It should be closer to one and your calibration should be done in a dark room.
That is how rumors get started.
Side note: I am still watching this video as I write this. But the guy who did the rock bed to hide the camera was MrTek Suggest
Awesome! Thank you!

I just got the same light, but whats the point of the camera then ???
Reads the color on the TV to project that color.
Is that an actual outlet? Or is it a In wall power kit? Im asking because Ive been told that you cannot plug an extension into those kits and the should be plugged directly into a wall outlet not a Power Kit.

Do you think it would be worth getting one of these if you have a tv on a stand corner unit ?
Ya that would look fine. As long as there's a wall/walls to bounce the color off of behind it.
Do you need leave the foam on the tv or can you revmove it? And can you reuse it? Cuz im also going to put my tv on the wall
I mean you don't leave it on there forever. Just while calibrating. Then they just come right off. Keep that little sheet they came on and you can reuse them
The cameras are supposed to be getting smaller, not bigger. I have the immersion in my bedroom thinking about the T2 for the living room.
Ha. I actually put the immersion in my room after I bought the t2. I know what u mean about the camera but remember this one has 2 cameras in it. Immersion only had 1. So that does take up a little more space.

For sure man. Thank you.
When you are moving the lines on your phone during calibration what exactly are you lining up? Thanks
The orange pads
So moving the lines to the orange pads? Not necessarily making a rectangle like the shape of the tv?
@chrisbarber8584 correct.
I also appreciate subscribers just fyi!
