Which TV Sync Backlight RGB Lightstrip Should You Buy?

What is the philips app sync called please

You have the same voice as Datohleong.. Are you two the same person ?

Lytmi is frustrating as it doesn't work with dual band or 5ghz Wi-Fi signal. Here in the US, most Wi-Fi devices broadcast in dual band. Additionally the corner/side attachment brackets are unsustainable over time and the strips detach after several months of installation. The update having the more extensive tape strips are a solid improvement.

If you have the money, the philips hue is the best. GRANTED i will say no 2.1 on sync box is still pretty big negative. But with hue where 1 zone ends and another begins is less obvious. You also can make just about any hue color lights work with it. for example i have a friend who has the Lightstrip + the tube that covers the bottom of the tv, then he puts 2 of the smaller ones you showed in the corner behind floorstanding speakers to the right and left of the TV. AND the room itself is lit by hue light strips in the left and right side and all of these lights sync with the movie light making it a whole room experience. if it wasn't for sync box not being hdmi 2.1 I'd say its the clear winner everytime other than cost.

I bought Govee 3 lite. I am very pleased with it. The light strips have vivid colors and work very well with the TV. I recommend it.



Where my govee t1s at??

Thanks for the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth spoilers with ZERO warning, what the FUCK is wrong with you. Ruined my years long plan to play this 100% blind

Thanks for the video. Mustve been a lot of work 👍.

You did a nice job showing the installation for some of the lights, but I would’ve loved to see what the Nanoleaf installation looks like on the back of the TV. You showed us that Govvee doesn’t have corner lights to make it easier to stick on. Does Nanoleaf have that? Based on how you were speaking, it sounded like Govvee does and Nanoleaf doesn’t. So how do you easily stick on the Nanoleaf thing around corners?

Good vid. Small comment: at the end of the video when rating the 4 devices... why did you display Govee and Nanoleaf for the last 2? First put govee... then put nanoleaf.
My opinion the Govee is the best.

The Phillips TV app on Samsung is over £100 just for the app, and only works for 5 years - expensive

Hi Alex! Philips has the Ambilight TV, saves hassles to install LED strips and does not require camera. Do you recommend?

I have the nano leaf and after looking at others I am very happy with my choice. The camera has a very small footprint when putting it on the bottom and the colour projection is rich and vibrant, especially for gaming. As far as I can tell it has the most customisable options as well. The Hue should be the best device in theory, given Philips basically came up with the “ambilight” concept but the limitation of not being able to use it with everything is a deal breaker for me, all of the thru box style ones for that matter.

Could you do a video comparing these to Fancy LEDs and if they’re any good or not

I need this for my 150 inch screen !

Hi Alex, great video! I was deciding between the Lytmi vs Nanoleaf. I am using a 55" LG C3 TV.

Just to check my understanding, the Lytmi uses a HDMI sync box. Would it be right to say that it would compromise the picture / video quality of the TV? I mainly watch shows via the native Netflix / Disney app, and gaming wise only on Nintendo switch. Should this be a consideration?

Alternatively will be Nanoleaf which does not have the HDMI sync box. My wife is not keen for the camera, but noted that it could be laid low on the TV console which makes it less conspicuous.

Any thoughts on above? Thank you!

What us ur choice bro i like get one but idk which to buy

Which one supports 4K at 120hz??? I have been asking this forever, please help 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Little feedback to the review. Should be comparing govee T1 which is at the same price range with nanoleaf 4d though it has been in the market for near 2 years. Anyway govee has just launched 3 lite and it’s worth to compare. Govee has dreamview feature which allow all govee products to immerse with the colour changing on the tv. Govee has about 60+ product sku for you to choose for colour synchronisation. Nanoleaf has about 10 sku I think. The product and company scale is different between Govee and Nanoleaf. I own these 2 products and I am a fan of govee 😊 👍🏼😀

The Govee G1 strip that uses their desktop app to sync looks great for PC gaming. Some users are reporting issues with the Govee software though.

There is also a product made by Fancyleds which wasn’t covered here. Would appreciate if you could look at it as well.

I will never buy Philips hue lights because how greedy they are💀

Lytmi Fantasy 3 Pro is best <3 !

I already bougth a light strip without the camera. Would it still work with my curretn light strip from govee?

Great vid buddy, I already purchased the Govee T2 but before installing it just checking a few tutorial vids and then this comparison vid popped up, looks like my initial research paid off and the Govee is the one, I’m really not bothered by the big camera tbh, waited for Black Friday & picked the 55” version T2 for £89.99 pretty happy I waited 👌

Bro how u or Whr u buy Govee T2?

You could have avoided this video and told us in a 10 short that none of them are any good.

Or just do what I did
Buy a Philips TV
They are good tvs too and the light are already integrated

The only thing that I don’t like is that is only 3 sides and not all 4 sides

Philips hue can obviously make an app for older model smart TVs. For now I'm going through my ps5 for Netflix in order to get the syncing to work. It works fine.

I use prismatik lightpack which I find most accurate of all.

nice review but could have included a still image test and compare them side by side (brightness, diffusion, saturation etc)

The hue only cover 3 side. Can you extend it or what can you do to the bottom for wall mounted tvs?

I bought a Philips Ambilight TV with inbuilt ambient RGB and it seems impressive so far. Perhaps you can review that next!

I just made my own using Hyperion and a pi 4 sk6812 144 strip

Philips = most evil company policies ever

I went for the full Philipps Hue setup: 65" Philipps Ambilight TV, bridge and total 5 hue lamps in my livingroom.. just love how all works perfect together. Costs more but works perfekt.

Didn’t Philips release an HDMI 2.1 sync box recently?

Having the phillips hue, I believe the colours have a better gradient effect to them and “blends”
On the other hand the other brands, the colours seem to separate…

HyperHDR + PicCap >
Under 50$ and works with system apps too. (LG TVs)

Would the Govee camera work at the bottom of the screen? It would be hidden behind my soundbar then.

I have Nanoleaf 4D and honestly its actually good! Pretty cheap compared to hue and the app has many cool features!

Hello, first of all, thank you for the review. I own TCL C745 Google TV. I am using Playstation 5. 120 hz, dolby vision and hdr are important to me. I saw that there was a problem with the HDR colors of the Lytmi Fantasy 3 model. For example, when HDR is on, the rear LEDs show red colors as orange. I'm very confused, I think a model with a camera is best.

I have seen others using the lytmi 3 and there colors were very bright and broad not sure why you seem to have a issue with that

Great video, thank you so much.
I was pretty settled with getting Lytmi, but now I understand the technology better, I guess you it can't sync to normal TV or Apps on the TV like Netflix or plex?

I took back my HUE setup because it honestly didn't look better than the Govee setup I already had & at times was actually worse. For that kind of money after also buying their other products needed to make it work as well, you'd better be able to smash the competition like ants or I just don't see the justification in that insane difference in price. Its not even close. You wanna sell me a Goose for 5k then it better shoot out a golden egg every morning and not require me to buy even more stuff to make that happen either. As far as privacy concerns with camera setups....Hello. How are you? Yeah, your entire life is on the web and has been for years. I'd get used to it just like any other thing we can't control anymore because as much as you may think, you really can't. Sucks but it is what it is at this point. Nice video btw & much appreciated to see the comparisons in a single video.

Alex, I was in the market to buy a RGB lightstrip for my 75" Sony TV in my living room. This was perfect timing for black friday sales/deals. I definitely found this video extremely helpful and useful for the pros and cons for each product! I'm going to go with the Nanoleaf for not only the price point, they are very well known in the RGB community, and the connections / ecofriendly with other home apps. They can also sync with other Nanoleaf products which I'm a fan of their products. Thank you once again for your review!

on their site, Lytmi Fantasy 3 pro , does NOT say that they don't support LG tvs. Seems they resolved their issues.

why is having a camera a concern for govee but not for the nanoleaf?

How does Govee work with movies that have black bars on top and bottom?
