Govee - Dreamview TV Strip Lights for 55”- 65” TVs

The user interface on the application to control the setting is fine and pretty user-friendly. But...the hardware leaves a lot to be desired. The adhesive tabs that are provided to secure the wires to the back of the TV do not hold down the wires. I have resorted to using some double-sided tabs I had around the house. So far so good with the third-party tabs. This annoyance would be overlooked and would not have resulted in my review. The big issue with this system is the camera that sticks out over the top of the TV so that the lights can be responsive to what is on the screen. Aside from it being an eyesore, again the adhesive is not doing its job. Yes, you have to stick the camera unit to the front top edge of the screen and the top frame of the TV. After less than a week the camera was significantly sagging. I used the third-party tabs I used for the wires on the back. Within 24 hours the camera was sagging again. Just now I removed those tabs and am now trying a different double-sided tape. We will see if this third option works. If not I will probably just remove the camera and just do without the screen responsive lighting. Sad that one simple engineering failure will taint the whole product. Recommendation to the engineers: Instead of having an L-shaped ledge to secure the camera, try a C clamp style with adhesive on all 3 sides of the C clamp.

Bought these to enhance my movie/gaming experience and they did not disappoint! Colors are bright and so far haven’t had any issues with any of the presets. I don’t have my camera mounted to the top of my tv, I actually have mine set under the sound bar on my media table. I’ll include a pic but it was super easy to set up. It even includes step by step instructions to do it this way which is convenient. The music preset is my favorite especially when I just wanna jam out! Gets you in the mood!

Was not what I expected. In a way I thought it would be a gimmick but decided to give it a try. Watching movies and sports have changed so much for the better, my wife is not ised to it yet but I fell in love from the beginning.

Got the strip while it was on sale and the experience is well worth it. I read thaf the orange cubes uses for sync could damage the tv so i used bits of easy tear tape to secure them and it worked perfectly. I did not like how the camera sticks out when positioned on top so I just placed it on the tv stand under the tv, no problems so far. The movie sync mode is what makes it all worth it, the led brightness can be fixed to tv brightness while the saturation can be further customized. Works well in a lit room but really stands out when lights are off. I noticed it took the syrain off my eyes as i mostly watch tv in a dark setting. Movie and games never looked this cool. Totally worth every penny

This product is intended to provide dynamic backlighting to enhance video playback experience on a TV. I installed it on my large PC monitor because the lights that came with it were barely visable. These lights are very bright and definitely help with game play and ambient lighting in the room in general. Easy to install as well. Happy with product.

Rich colors, many preset patterns, very good product. These add so much dimension to the viewing experience. I can also use them as ambient lighting, or with the preset patterns, they can be used for holiday lighting as well as just fun patterns. Being able to create your own patterns is also pretty cool. I have these on 3 of my 4 tvs

It takes a little getting used. For movies it really makes the tv seem more dynamic and even brighter. I wouldn't recommend for daily shows though. The setup is straight forward but take a little bit. For some reason my lower right was an odd yellow color when it shouldn't be. I recalibrated it with the room darker and it fixed the issue. Unfortunately after the first power cycle it came back. Ive also had to add the device to my phone 2x already. This might be because I have the power running through my receiver as it only has a power button on the controller. There should be an option if the screen is black for a certain time it shuts off or goes to sleep. Hard to believe with all the features it doesn't do that.

Setup was a breeze. I used IFTTT to turn on/off the strip lights in sync with the TV’s power state. The lights respond to Alexa when I want to (rarely) use them independently of the TV, however, setting the color explicitly turns off the TV Watching Dreamview (where the lighting syncs to what’s on the TV) and you’ll need to go into the Govee Home app to turn it back on, which is a very minor inconvenience.
