Which TV Sync Backlight RGB Lightstrip Should You Buy? 

ur v welcome :)

bro recently i purchased samsung crystal 43 inch 4k tv ,but am not able to connect my phone to smart things app its not showing any devices on tv screen ,and all so not showing tv option in phone app? how to solve this

nice!

I'm down the same rabbit hole as well. Bought an 85 inch and ordered the t2. I thoughf about t3, but the comments and everyone was saying t2 is more brighter/more color..... I'm patiently waiting and just binge watching RU-vid lol

@@briankasoziiii4837 Installed mine this Wednesday, don’t hesitate get it, especially if it’s on offer for a good price, installation was easy as well, as soon as I installed put Star Wars straight on lights off Govee on BOOM absolutely loved it 👌👌👌👌💥

It looks like a Christmas tree garland.

nice!

Nanoleaf is the worst option. It looks like a Christmas tree garland.

alot saying that if the camera below the TV the result will be more accurate - will try to switch the places and see the differences

Just got the govee t3 lite it’s decent however the color matching sometimes doesn’t make sense. I’m thinking Phillips hue would be the most accurate, just hate that you need a sync box for it

@@alexchang4617 i agree i hope they update the t3 to match better. phillips hue is good but not for that price

Is their any major differences? Between the 2

does that work with netflix?

The ambilight still can connect to philips hue app?

@@AlexTeo no, the tv is separate. I connected two Hue Iris to the TV (located left & right) to have the full imersion. I had to configure that in tje tv options.

Pray hard it lasts long. 🙏 My Philips AmbiTV died on the 4th year 😭

@@8LastKing8 we have 2 years of warranty and i took a +4 years of warranty package.. should work out fine 😊

Nanoleaf is the worst option.

yeah very affordable which is very unlike nanoleaf haa

On sale for £72 direct atm, think I’m going to try it

thanks for sharing!

thanks for the helpful information! I'm thinking of buying philips but as you said, it truely is for the sync box that i now hesitate!

nice hope you will like the product

How's it so far? Why not go for govee?

@@heibaimao Hey, I've had this product from Nanoleaf for my 75" tv for about 6 months now. I will say I am still very impressed with this product. I cannot speak for Govee. The main reason I chose Nanoleaf over govee is because I also have a gaming computer and I have heard Nanoleaf's name to be very reputable company and brand. Also, the eco-friendly products with other Nanoleaf systems and lights. Now, Govee does have similar features and products to sync other products on their line. But I have always heard amazing reviews from Nanoleaf. I will also mention that my Nanoleaf App constantly updates their firmware and features. I have an iPhone and I can turn off the light strips with a button or sync it with Alexa, Google, Siri etc. Now going to the actual product itself, the lights are amazing. The colors are phenomenal with the different hues and the calibration is spot on for the corners of the TV to pick up those different shades etc. In the App, I can choose the percentage of how bright I want my lights to be and the 1D - 4D is awesome. I can also do a cinematic mode or a vibrant mode to bring out the really in depth hues. Nothing bad to say about this product. Again, I'm not sponsored nor do I have a Govee product. I just trusted the Nanoleaf brand and their quality products from other consumers and friends. I plan on syncing them with triangle lights and those lines.

@@heibaimao I initially chose Nanoleaf because of their reputation amongst their RGB products across multiple platforms. I also have a gaming computer and my other friends have vetted and vouched for Nanoleaf products whether it’s their triangles, lines, and other products. Govee seemed to be a little newer in the RGB community and I haven’t seen too many reviews on their specific TV light strip. Both companies so far have great reviews so no complaints there. Both companies also have eco friendly products meaning you can sync up multiple products within both apps. What I liked more about Nanoleaf is that it was very user friendly and you could use Siri, Alexa, Google, and control the lights through your apps. Some products as mentioned only allows a certain app to control it. I’ve owned this product for 3+ months now and it’s been nothing short of amazing! The Nanoleaf has an easy to use interface with a lot of settings you can set in the app. Also, Nanoleaf is constantly updating their firmware so you know you’re getting the best when it comes to connectivity and fixing small bugs that it may have. The lights are super bright if on 100% and even the low dim settings are nice if that’s your thing. I personally mounted this by myself on my 75” Sony 4K TV in my living room and it does a great job illuminating light on the back walls. The camera I set up is on the top of the TV. I haven’t tried to set up the camera on my tv stand bc it’s not wide enough with my Sony soundbar in the front but no issues with color and hues. I calibrated the Sensor to the 4 corners, not all the way to the edge though. I hope this helps!

provided if the TV itself is worth checking out!

​@@AlexTeothey use the latest LG OLED panels, so they're arguably the best screens available. The built-in LED system is more complex than the Hue Play Gradient Light step, with each segment containing multiple LEDs that emit multiple colors at different depths to create a layered series of auras around the TV.

I have one too, bought it when they first came out. Sadly, they don’t make them anymore.

thanks for sharing

Just got an LG C3. Wonder if you know best settings for PS5, Xbox & Switch?

Wait....so what would you say is the best color to have on the wall behind the tv??

​@@youtubesuxnow8766 White of course, its a neutral color that would accurately depict the colors of the leds. The commentor isnt telling you what color you should paint your wall, but merely suggesting to use mirrors if your walls happen to already be colored prior to installing the LEDs. Obviously dark colored walls wouldnt reflect the colors of the LEDs accurately as plain white walls, so they're sharing what helped them instead of repainting your walls or returning your lights or suffering with poor light output. Awesome tip BTW

hmm i will say 1. govee 2. hue 3. nanoleaf 4. lytmi

@@AlexTeo thank you very much for answering ! Have a great day

In the end I went for the govee one (the T1Pro pack 1+1 deal just was too good to miss), and it works really well for our 30m² living room as a chill but bright end-of-day light. Leaving this feedback here for others eventually

Can you kindly tell me how to do this

No they can't, you need the app to be able to grab and analyse the video signal, which is not possible on android based TV for example

@tiloalo intech today. Anything is possible. They can figure it out.

@oreosk8ter they would need Google to provide support for that, which they don't and do not want over privacy concerns (as any app could check what you're watching and use it for ads purpose for example). So it's very unlikely to come short term.

you can't , you need a hdmi input device

@@AlexTeolooking to get my first tv backlight setup. are you saying the lytmi doesn’t work with normal tv channels or video/movies played through apps on the tv?

nope it won't compromise, as mentioned hdmi sync box don't work on tv native apps so if that's something you are looking for then the lytmi is out

I see. Thanks for the clarification!

if you have the hue hdmi sync box then it already support 4K 60Hz

@AlexTeo I sold it. But govee just came out with a whole new dreamview system. New camera etc. Not the T2. It's totally new

this video is actually not about comparing the tv backlight models or the companies, its what I recommend to buy today, i mentioned and demonstrated the dreamview feature with the govee lyra though, i'm not a fan of any brands haa

Hey man what's up ? Can I get a little review ? I want to buy it too !

as of now they are just another protocol, very few compatible device types. If there are a matter option for a device that I am interested to get, I will prioritize that over the other protocols, besides that nothing much. Ultimately, you still need to pick a smart home platform to use

feel free to DM me on IG if you have questions

thanks for sharing your experience

I was opposite I thought the govee was terrible so I got another hue sync box and gradient strip for the bedroom.

Govee better than phillips hue ? Sorry but i disagree totally . I have BOTH and my hue setup is by far the BEST . Yes its expensive but you get what you pay for and phillip hue is far better. Color Accuracy beats govee , hue setup is easier to setup , hue setup automaticly allows and adjusts for black bars at top and bottom on some movies . Better range of products and more . Dont get me wrong , my govee is good but phillips is far superior.

Much bigger fan of Govee however for syncing my gaming monitor to lights the only solution to fuckin blow me away is 6 hue bulbs and using the hue software to sync. ZERO latency, 10000x brighter than any light strip, great accuracy and doesn’t hinder my pc at all. Plus I got them used for cheap, they’re going on 5 years old and still work like they’re new. This is the ONLY thing I’ll ever recommend hue for.

​@nissan300zxtt9 doesn't have 120hz or vrr

nanoleaf is a straight through normal LED strip so at the 4 corners, the strip is not stick to the TV as you need to turn the strip, they do provide some corner brackets but they are not very useful

I think they have now , think its a new . HDMI 2.1 which is 120hz i believe.

​@@nissan300zxtt9nope

to be able to sync with the hdmi input

I summarized based on the different types of solution, both govee t2 and nanoleaf 4d are camera based sync

unlikely

I won't choose a tv because of backlight but if you have no requirements for a tv then its a good choice

The reason i couldnt do that is because i will need to setup all of them on the same tv, same room which is technically challenging

if you can place the camera on a console and not on top of the tv then i would go for nanoleaf, else i take goove

yup technically you can

You can, but if your ceiling is white, it will mostly see its reflection on the screen

i think the biggest tv is 115" in LTT latest vid

i will set a fixed color for the tv cabinet so that it will be less distracting

The camera is pointed at the screen

@@mattweller right but its fish eyed so it can see much more than the screen. You can see this when configuring the screen with the orange cubes at setup.

Bravoo 👏 for cracking that champ. Now, you are typing this with a device that is actually connected to the internet and all aspects of your life, oh and there is a camera on it facing you at all times. What is the game plan now bruh?

@@the_DOS No one is interested in anything going on in a small corner of your house.

an example of fancy leds?

@@AlexTeo lol no that’s the brands name “Fancy LEDs” it’s very similar to goveee and lytmi but it doesn’t require a camera to display color just hdmi 2.1 or 2.0 (depending on the model you get)

any idea whether that could integrate with any smart home platforms?

Nice!

There is no solution I believe, I had the govee T2 and it only sees reflections on the screen as soon as there is any light in the room. It probably works well in very specific setup, but forget about it if your tv console is white or you don't use it in complete darkness.

Then pick the others in the videoq

i'm using philips hue sync app

@@AlexTeo does it work in all media such as RU-vid Netflix And even on pendrive also

no idea what product you are referring to but none of these I shared require that

Buy led strip for 55 tv

yeah i guess so

Govee DreamView T1 no colour problem with PS5

you can use the hue play bars to if you want to cover the bottom area

Ive done exatcly that , get 3 play bars though for the bottom as the top edge of the strip has 3 ZONES so 3 play bars MATCH IT . Phillips now also do the HUE Gradient light tube for the Bottom edge but im not sure if it can be mount to the back of tv . Most have it on a unit below as you can twist and aim the tube up or down etc .

Where??

Yes they have or updated them as HDMI 2.1 is now supported .

Yes

you need to find a way to secure it especially for very thin bezel

Yes would work , you could prop it up woth the sound bar or something atc and in the govee app when setting up you can switch position to top or bottom for the camera.

Packaging includes lightstrip, don't think you can buy the camera alone

@AlexTeo oh I'm just wondering if i can connect my current lightstrip with the control box for the camera. That way i don't have to put the lightstrip on the back of my tv again

Phillips hue for my samsung tv, and lytmi for my lg tv

Thanks man, great channel @@AlexTeo

can you not use the Hue light on an LG TV with a sync box

@@kristiankorre7210 explained at 3:30

provided you are ok with the specs and performance of the philips tv and you don't have any other smart lights that you want to sync with

I dont agree , the phillips hue gradient strip is pretty much identicle to their ambilight tv's with the added bonus that , if and when the lights break you can just buy a new strip . If they go in the ambilight TV your probably done for lol .

@@nissan300zxtt9if the tv ambilight will break you could also buy a strip from Philips, so that’s not a problem 😂

depends whether you have govee or nanoleaf products and whether you need the extra smart home integrations

@@AlexTeo right now haven't any govee or nanoleaf products, integrations doesn't matter

@@Jubeihong so just in terms of colors, i prefer govee

thanks man, Ive ordered already, you have a great channel@@AlexTeo

can you place the nanoleaf camera on top of the sound bar which is below the TV?

applies to the rest as well except lytmi

Thanks for the video. I ended with govee t3. Seeing I use web caster for my movies, I really didn't feel like purchasing a box & use my dvd player or ps5. Govee is more my idea due to no headaches on hdmi plug-in also might cause hdr wash out if does or not, simple is what I needed govee t3. Thanks again

You can also create automation such that whenever tv is off, then off the backlight

It is for both

no idea as well, there is nothing to configure and set

what's arr? i suppose you are asking about lytmi?

Provided you would like a philips tv in the first place which is entirely a separate topic

The issue is that philips TV are not great anymore...

they probably fix it

i dont really check out and review tv 😅

@@AlexTeo what I mean is which RGB better haha

@@hou9133 you mean which RGB lightstrip is better for Sony X90L? it doesn't matter man

then go for camera based sync

just search philips hue you should be able to find it

There would still be colors, accuracy is not great

Bad lol , its best to setup govee to allow for black bars and leave at that . The phillips hue stuff AUTO adjusts for black bars which is great , aswell as being the far superior one overall but is exspensive . You get what you pay for though.

both has their pros n cons :)

@@AlexTeo what would you recommend?

@@Mellow.mashmellow depends on what you are looking for. For me, i value integration to home assistant so i will take nanoleaf

all support

too small to feel the effect

@@AlexTeo Ive actually found a couple from Govee for gaming monitors after looking around for a bit...

I got one, I'll sell it to you new brand new. Once I found out it's a regular fish eye camera that you need to connect to wifi, I automatically got rid of it. It's a security concern.

i will buy from their US website and use 3party shipping, eg. ezship

the usb connects to a control box to manage the color sync

@@AlexTeothank you

thanks for sharing your experience!

yup

@@AlexTeo if i buy sync box, will it work on other brands?

​@@raufyoutubechannelyes , i have a hue setup on my 4k Sony tv but instead of the sync box i use the PC DESKTOP hue sync app . I consume all my media on tv plugged into PC so you save on the £200 sync box as its not needed .

will check it out next time

for eg?

@@AlexTeo yea, Nanoleaf 4D, Govee T2, T3, etc.

@@cooluser23 this video already feature nanoleaf 4D and Govee T2, the Govee backlight 3 is not worth over the T2 imo

@@AlexTeo thanks. So I guess I'll wait for a Govee 3 pro then..

Try it and you'll realise that it doesn't matter, the effect is still nice

yeah personally i don't like seeing the camera too

@@AlexTeo i think i might wait for philip hue to get more recognition in other brand of tv before considering

I have two tv one for Ps5 and one for wife and its no problem with camera on my tv 😂
