Envisual TV LED Backlight T2 with Dual Cameras, 11.8ft RGBIC Wi-Fi LED Strip Lights for 55-65 inch TVs, Double Strip Light Beads, for Home Decorations, Smart App Control, Music Sync

I was really, really hesitant about buying these. Since many "smart" things are overhyped, and ease-of-use issues and feature limitations often take away from marketing claims, and since every environment can be different, results can certainly vary and they might just possibly suck. In my case I have a very "busy" media room, where instead of a blank wall behind my television there's equipment, wires, pictures, objects, shadows, etc. So I was VERY wary about throwing these lights into the mix. Plus I was worried that the whole thing would just be distracting and annoying. Well I was wrong on all counts, these are awesome. Installation was a little tedious, but that was more because of my particular setup. My television has additional equipment and extensive wiring behind it, (a normal backlight for the tv area, three HDMI cables, network cabling, center speaker & wires, a projector, a power strip, power cables for all, etc.), so getting the light strips into place took two people to get it all measured, centered, and affixed correctly. This took the most time, (probably an hour total), but if it wasn't for the complexity of my own system, I think it would've been pretty painless. The light strips are affixed with double-sided tape already attached to the strips, (3M brand, good quality), so cleaning the adhesion areas on the television is key. Although Govee includes a couple of cleaning pads, it really isn't enough. I used some denatured alcohol and my own rag to get the areas fully cleaned. Once I measured the centerpoints of each strip and my television, attaching was easy with two people. The strips fit my television perfectly. Once attached, getting the Govee app installed and linked to Alexa was also easy. Figuring out the app features was a little tedious, as that section is rather bloated. There are quite a few "features" that I will never use, so it was all rather distracting there. Getting the lights on and into "video" mode was simple enough though. Included are numerous bright orange pads that are used to calibrate the camera sensor. It's an important step so don't forget it - putting the pads on the television and going through the calibration process gets the whole system dialed in correctly. Directions for this are included in the box, and also available in the app itself. The pads get placed in corners and centers of the television, and the camera remembers these spots so it knows the range of the television lighting. (Attached video shows the pads in place on the screen.) As for performance, my biggest hesitation was fearing that they'd be distracting and annoying, but they aren't at all. So far I've used these for movies, television shows, and Formula One races, both in daytime and at night, and I have zero complaints about any of it. They particularly shine in movies, as the immersion factor increases greatly. On the downside, my only real complaint is that the overall room lighting has a very substantial effect on how the lights perform - if there's any light reflections on the television screen it effects the brightness of the light strips. In my case - when the room lights were on, half the strips were at full brightness and the other half rather dim. I learned that shutting off the lights in the room gets it all back in trim, but that kind of sucks because I don't always watch the TV in darkness. But I guess it's no fault of the product itself because it does what it's supposed to do, (reads the light on the screen), and if that light balance is off, well... so are the light strips. Perhaps there's a way to counterbalance that in the app, but I haven't found it yet. Attached video shows a VERY color-intensive intro to the show Narcos Mexico. I suggest looking at the television itself instead of the lights, because that's what you'd normally be doing anyway. The video is an extreme case with all of the rapid color and scene changes, and I wish Amazon would still let you upload more than one video because I have other examples that aren't so intensive. (Really stupid, Amazon!) All in all, I'm totally satisfied and it's a definite positive addition to the media room. A side note for Formula One fans - anyone intending to use this with the lighting controls for the F1 Multiviewer app, well... they won't work. These lights don't have the LAN API feature necessary for the F1 app to change the lighting colors. (Boo!)

A while ago I bought an inexpensive screen backlight. It amounted to a generic strand of LED strip lighting that came with a cheaply-made remote control. All it really was was strip lighting, like what my teenage daughter put up in her bedroom. Well, there was one exception. The set I bought for my TV failed within a year. When this lighting set popped up as an almost-expired Lightning Deal, I bought it right away, only because of the good experiences I've had with other Govee products. When it arrived, I was amazed at its quality and capabilities. Unlike the previous strip of lights, the Govee lights were sealed. Also, instead of a single run of lights, which required some awkward bends at each corner, these lights consisted of four strips with built-in wires for corners, making the installation easier and more professional looking. The list of features is astounding. There are enough lights to make the result as bright as I need it, and everything is adjustable through their smartphone app. Thanks to the included camera, actually, there are three cameras built into the single sensor; I can have the lights around the TV change with the picture with no discernable delay. I also have the option to have the lights display a single color that matches the average color of the entire picture at that moment, and I prefer this: the color differs around the screen, depending on what is being displayed on that particular edge at any given moment. For example, if the TV is displaying a blue sky on top, a green field on the bottom right, and a house on the left, then the lighting will show blue on top, green on the right, and house-color on the left, And the match is not just the primary color, but the shade that matches the screen. The result is a picture that is easier to watch in a dark room because there is a smoother transition from the TV display to the darkness surrounding it. Installation took about an hour. It could have gone more quickly, but I was taking my time. However, I did learn one thing that would have made things go more quickly for me and might help you out as well. One installation step is to temporarily apply some large orange blocks to the edge of your TV screen and use the app to define the edges for the cameras by moving little dots to the edges of what the camera sees. What worked better for me was to have a brightly lit picture on my TV and move the dots to the edges without bothering with the blocks. Time will tell if these lights last longer than the previous set. However, based on what I've seen between the two sets and my experience with other Govee products, I expect they will, and by a good amount. And, until then, I have a much better set of lights and a more impressive TV.

Since installing the light strip, the viewing experience has been absolutely magical. The entire wall lights up with a relatively responsive glow based on whats on screen. Especially engrossing in colorful scenes like animations, but offers fantastic ambiance with any other scene (e.g. fires, flashlights moving, cool snow scenes, vibrant background colors). A very affordable alternative to HDMI-input color strips. Its not as responsive to within the millisecond as those HDMI inputs, but at a fraction of the price its an excellent product. If you set it up correctly, have a dark area without external light sources, and have sufficient white space behind the TV to defuse the colors - this is a must buy. Installation: The strip installation is a breeze, but actual calibration is where one would need to take special focus. You need to be sure you setup app setting's light direction, color calibration (against a nuetral white screen), saturation and brightness levels, and most importantly play with calibration of the camera. You will get a few orange squares to adhere to TV screen to pinpoint the cameras angles. I personally found better results by moving the calibration points closer inwards into screen by a few inches. Meaning the orange squares place the calibration too close to edge of the TV and this did not provide the best result. I recommend playing around with these points and running a few color test videos on YouTube. Also, keep in mind this technology works by using a camera to see the TV screen. This technology works best in absolute darkness - any reflection on the matte or glossy screen display from outside lights will negative impact your color accuracy. I find the light strip isn't as impressive in the daytime. Support: This is the real reason I am writing the review. Govee support has been impeccable. I had issues getting my camera to work correctly as one of the two lenses was not reading input correctly. They provided instant solutions and sent a replacement for the defunct piece. I was impressed by how swiftly they had resolved my issues, no questions asked. Moreso than the product itself, this impressive support will ensure I buy more Govee devices.

So this is going to be kind of a long explanation, so the short review is yes it works great and it is everything promised. I would absolutely recommend. Here is my experience with govee backlights. Govee sync box: I first tried the govee sync box because I liked the idea of plug and play, meaning no calibration. The sync box is definitely far more accurate and has much better color change response time. However it only works when you plug something (Roku, Apple tv, PC, whatever) into it. So it does not work with native smart tv apps. That wasn't my problem though, my problem was that I have a lot of money invested into a high end TV with high end PC and the sync box just couldn't keep up at 60 fps. My setup kept crashing the sync box. There are work arounds online, but it gets really expensive really fast. I also didn't like that I had to control everything with the govee box, meaning to turn things on and off or switch from device to device I had to ether get on my phone or get up and go press button on the box. Govee T2: So I did more research and decided to give the T2 a shot. It does require calibration which can be a bit of a pain until you figure out what your doing. However the response time is pretty impressive for camera and it works with literally any content at any speed. It looks great especially when I added a couple other govee light via dream view. My only complaint and reason for 4 ⭐ is that with the camera on top of the TV there was about a 1.5-2 foot spot behind the camera that it couldn't see so the colors were off a bit. I'm assuming it uses some sort of predictive algorithm to determine color in this area. Govee does not offer a bottom mounting option, but I went online and found a way to do it anyway. Now the camera sits in front the the TV's base where I can't see the lights anyway and it now looks amazing! New Govee back light 3 option: I did just see after getting it just the way I like it that govee just released the backlight 3 "light". From what I've read the T2 is (debatably) still the better option, however if they come out with the back light 3 pro, I may upgrade because it has a couple new features im definitely interested in. So if your not in a hurry do a little research into the govee backlight 3 and see if it's something your interested in. If you want something now the T2 is absolutely a solid option!

This Govee, so it works great. Easy to mount on my 65" using the high-quality two-sided tape. The LEDs are bright and vibrant. I have them set to 50% brightness in a well-lit room and they are still very bright. I like the way they enhance the on-screen motion, colors and shadows. I am considering purchasing another for my other 65" television.

This isn’t exactly a budget-friendly product. The build quality feels solid, the installation is pretty simple, and once everything is set up, it completely changes the look of your TV. I mainly bought it to create more of a home theater experience, and paired with the DreamView ecosystem from Govee, it feels like a whole new level. The lights sync really well with what’s on screen, making movies much more immersive. If you’re into tech gadgets or want to give your TV a more fun look, this is a great option. It’s not the cheapest on the market, but if you’re already in the Govee ecosystem or looking to get into smart lighting, it’s definitely worth considering. Overall, it delivers the experience it promises.

Very awesome backlights. Once you get them, there is no going back, I also put them on the bedroom TV... with a white wall behind tv they are super bright, you likely want to adjust brightness down. On our living room TV (video attached) we have black paneling behind and full brightness is perfect. I also added sconces on either side of tv and linked the govee bulbs in them to the backlight.... the results are super cool. Highly recommend this and all other govee products.

I upgraded to this version from an earlier product model. Here’s where I stand with this unit: The Good: Color matching (near perfect match to the Disney+ app launch screen color gradient), newer options for color blocking based on what the camera sees, dual camera captures better quality image, camera balance mechanism versus previous version that required adhesive, the sticky stuff on the back of the lights is WAY better, Govee app is as easy to use with this as the previous version with way more controls, no dropping the signal connectivity like previous versions, the iOS widget really works this time, long enough to go around the entire screen, seems like more LEDs, control box and cable connection are easy to set-up on my already wall-mounted 75”, the control box also uses USB-C for both strands and I really appreciated being able to adjust which strand was along which corner of the tv because I installed them incorrectly (I didn’t read the instructions as thoroughly as I should have). Needs more work: Installing the LED strands were tricky on the back of my television since most of the back has a grid pattern and there are gaps where devices connect where the adhesive touches nothing, my tv is on a tilt mount and the bottom part of the light strand is pressed to the wall which limits color spread at the bottom of the screen (though the app has controls to help offset this some and I am appreciative of that feature), the camera bump is HUGE but that is a trade off for great picture pickup.

Great product and arrived very quick

The springs a whole new dynamic to your TV experience whether your watching videos, television, movies or video games. It helps you feel like you're more part of what's going on on the screen. I have it accompanied on each side by Govee Lyra lamps configured with it, and also a set of their Hex lights off my back left, and two sets of their Y lights off to my back rear that I only sync when watching movies or playing PS 5, otherwise they are colour patterns etc. With almost 20 various Govee lighting covering almost every single one of their products in my one Mediaroom/man cave alone it is absolutely incredible how it can transform a room from soothing, to cool, to party mode, and it's also easily programmable in their app which of surprisingly heard people complain about although it is as simple as an app can be, so I'm always puzzled by that one complaint that comes up from time to time. You have to buy this unit, and I have a blue wall behind my TV which is not helping the colour accuracy so I should probably paint it but it's still produces some pretty darn accurate colours and is superior to the Phillips version which uses HDMI as you can't take advantage of smart TV functions with their technology unless you're using a separate box like Apple TV etc. of which I do have, but I prefer the Govee ecosystem as it much more affordable and just as good quality. They are the new kings in town taking over the home lighting industry, especially their permanent outdoor lighting which I have yet to get into, but I will. It's just that my house is so large that it will cost a small fortune as I like to go all out when I do things. Trust me just buy this T2 set up, set up the left side of the screen first then complete, then go back and set up the right side of the screen and complete it is the simplest way IMO to get the best coverage of your screen for the dual camera. I have an 85 inch TV, and the kit I got is for 75 to 85 inches meaning I don't have as many LEDs as would be preferred, but there are 60 LEDs per metre which is a heck of a lot and they are bright and the best quality I have ever seen. I've had many LEDs in my life working in the theatre industry for 30 years so I've seen my fair share of various technologies And you will be taking videos and pictures and bragging to your friends about this kit. It also has game mode which makes it super responsive which I would only recommend for when you're actually playing games otherwise it's too sensitive. The coolness factor is off the charts and you get used to it pretty quick, I could not imagine a TV without this backlight system, you simply could not rip it out of my hands. I got it on sale for 179, and then it had another $40 clip and save coupon I believe, so they constantly go on sale keep an eye out for that, don't pay regular price, and it is sold and shipped by Govee so you have full support by them who don't charge PST by the way... 😉

I use this LED backlight a lot and it’s very bright — colours pop and the lighting definitely adds atmosphere whether I’m watching movies or gaming. Setup was fairly easy and the app gives good control over effects and colours. One thing to be aware of is the camera-based colour tracking. If you have a glossy TV bench, the camera reflects off that surface and confuses the tracking, so it doesn’t pick up the colours properly. Because of that, I don’t use it with the camera in my setup anymore — it works great just as a bright, colourful backlight, but the colour-matching feature only works well on non-reflective surfaces. Overall, solid brightness and fun lighting, just not ideal if you wanted accurate colour tracking off a glossy surface.

Compre estas luces con un poco de temor porque algunas reseñas son muy buenas y otras no lo son tanto y hablan de que es difícil de configurar. Incluso me anime por esta versión aun siendo mas elevado su precio contra otra de la misma marca pero mas barata suponiendo que en esta al ser versión mas actual se corrigieran esas dificultades. la compre para una pantalla de 55" y le queda perfecto, antes de empezar a pegar medí el tamaño de las tiras contra mi pantalla y las tuve que pegar muy cerca de las orillas para que no me quedaran grandes. trae todo lo necesario para su instalación y un par de instructivos uno de inicio rápido y otro mas detallados y los dos con códigos QR que te llevan a un video para la instalación. la instalación es sencilla, se debe de limpiar donde se va a pegar las tiras, incluye las toallitas con alcohol para que quede mejor. Las cintas ya están armadas y dentro de un despachador que facilita y mucho pegarlas. la cámara solo va sobre puesta sobre la pantalla con una forma muy bien pensada y no tiene dificultad y por ultimo el modulo central que trae adhesivo doble cara y solo se pega por detrás y se conecta la tiras led y la camara con sus cables usb c. sin dificultad se conecta al celular por bluetoth y después a wifi. Donde mas me atore en en la configuración por que te indica el manual y el video pegar 8 almohadillas de color naranja (incluidas) e indicarla a la cámara manualmente donde están los puntos,. lo intente 2 veces y no me gusto el resultado pero en youtube escribí la marca y modelo y encontré un video que simula poner las almohadillas en la pantalla y mientras trascurre el video hice nuevamente una configuración y en automático me tomo las almohadillas y el resultado fue genial. solo se debe de calibra la calidez de los blancos como explica el manual y eso se hace en la aplicación desde el celular. lo que note es que los colores blancos en la pantalla los reproducía muy rojos/naranja (calido) y baje la calidez de la luz al lado mas azul y listo. tiene muchas, pero deberás MUCHAS opciones de iluminación y de programación. se pueden establecer horarios, rutinas, emparejar con Google home. me pase 2 horas probando diferentes configuraciones y no termine. solo y lo tengo que mencionar es que vi comentarios de personas que se quejan del retardo al reflejar los colores. es definitivo que si existe pero es muy breve, hablo de fracciones de segundo y considerando que los colores los reproduce después de que la cámara los registra es muy comprensible y solamente es perceptible si es que te estas concentrado en eso. Nadie mas de mi familia lo nota. Por ultimo se ve muy bien ya configurada

Fake very bad quality
