Color options, functionality, brightness, durability, value for the money

I had purchased these backlights b/c we love the ones we installed on our tv (which is the same brand) so I wanted some for my computer monitor, and I was not disappointed! Installation was easy and quick, and it’s super easy to customize/change the light settings via their app.The camera does not need to be connected to a computer, so there’s no worrying about taking power away from your pc either.I will say that the colors aren’t always 100% accurate to the scene that’s on screen when used in video mode, but it doesn’t really bother me when playing games.Very satisfied with the quality of this product for the price I paid!

Pros:- Doesn't require video passthrough so no worrying about framerate/color degradation- Works with multiple sources since it doesn't need video passthrough- Works with DRM protected content- Relatively cheap compared to the competition- Fairly flexible setup that'll even work on monitors that they claim it doen't supportCons:- White balance impossible to get spot on due to reflections on screen.- Easily affected by ambient lighting causing splotches of color when there shouldn't be anything- Does not work with glass desks because light reflecting off will mess with color accuracy- Requires a camera that may take away from a minimal setup.Even though this says it only supports up to 29in and flat displays, I was able to get this to work on my LG Ultragear 34in ultrawide. I used the 21:9 template as a rough estimate and then installed the mounting brackets. You can't bring the light strip closer to the edges of your monitor as there's not enough length, so you'll have to use the template and mount it in the center. The camera is a bit trickier because my monitor is too thick, but there's just enough contact with the adhesive to let it work.The calibration process wasn't difficult, although I would recommend making virtual squares instead of using the included square foam cubes. With an image editor, you can draw out squares onto a canvas that's the same size as your monitor. That way you don't have to stick anything onto your monitor and it's much more accurate as you know exactly where the middle squares would go.There's a few gotchas with using the camera for bias lighting. If you have a glass top like I do, then it's going to mess up the camera because it's going to reflect ambient light onto the screen. I've had a spare desk mat that I've put underneath which solves this, but I wish I didn't have to do that. I think a monitor stand would be a better solution if you have this issue. Another issue is the bottom of your screen will appear brighter to the camera than the top even if there's only one solid color being displayed. It's not too noticeable, but something to keep in mind.In certain modes the lights will flicker. I think this is due to the camera refresh rate not matching up with your monitor refresh rate. This happens for me in "shoot" mode. If your lights are flickering, try changing the mode in the app.Overall, this is a pretty good solution for bias lighting despite some of the limitations. Compared to the competition which is a subscription-based service and requires proprietary LED strips, this is much more affordable

The media could not be loaded. I have a 75inch TV that I originally planned on getting this strip for but decided to go with smaller version for my monitor... To test drive. And let me tell you... It is amazing! The colors and brightness are incredible. Check the video (if interested, the song is Shimigami eyes by Grimes) to see for yourself.There is just one small minus: when there is nothing on screen but the screen is on it perceives it as... White? (yellowish white). shouldn't the lights be completely off or dimmed to the minimum? Could it be the angle at which the camera is seeing the screen? Might be something to consider for a newer version.Also, a recommendation for getting the best color reproduction for when watching movies:in the app, when in video->movie mode (as in the video) make sure you select "partial" and not "full" (see the picture)I will definitely be getting this for all my tvs and recommend everyone to get one.

Very bright and saturated, I'm very pleased with its performance. Tried Corsair LS100 before and it's night and day performance wise.I was able to attach it to Samsung Neo G7 with 1000R curvature and it holds! But there is a weird design flaw - Gover used a very strong spring between the camera parts and it's as strong as a garage door one. Due to that the camera constantly pulls it off from adhesive and I kept re-installing it every day. Eventually I was fed up and removed the spring completely. Not sure why that is needed there at all. At least with curved monitor it doesn't work well.

Accuracy flat out sucks. I ran the calibration for the camera and the strip several times and the end result was less than satisfactory. I could have for example the entire 25% of a the lower corner of the screen be blue, with the light being green. Take a look at the picture - as you can see the colors don’t seem to match up to what’s on the screen at all and this was after a few rounds of calibration. Also the actual range of color of the light bar seems very narrow, like literally just a few basic colors. For the cost, not worth it.

The system was easy to install and one of the things I was dreading the most, which was the pairing and calibration process through the Govee® App surprisingly, was very easy to do! I had absolutely no issues installing and getting the lights to work. Tonight I will be submerging myself even deeper in gaming! Let's do thisssssssss!!!

They work well but please make sure you measure your monitor and make sure they’re applied to a smooth surface
