Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite 2.4m for 40-50 Inch TVs | Built-in Camera with Fisheye Correction, RGBICW 4-in-1 LED Beads, WiFi Connectivity, App & Voice Control

Govee makes good stuff. It’s in the mid range price wise, but having cheaper backlights these make it worthwhile. Installation is not too hard but a bit fiddly for some. The instructions are very good but this isn’t just a stick it on scenario. There are a few steps to install and calibrate but the app is excellent and talks you through it all. Once calibrated and set up, you can just let it do its thing. The app is for minute settings which most won’t worry about. Govee apps are always excellent. The effect is just amazing to see. You really have to experience it. Some wonder if it’s off putting. It’s not, it just blends in to the TV screen. What isn’t mentioned is it doesn’t just copy the colour on the edge. It’s AI decides the best surround colours. A snow scene with some greenery, it’ll create a full crisp surround colour with a spot of green. A desert scene, it creates a full surround of orange and yellows. In other words, it makes the surround match the whole scene, not simply copy the edges. In some scenes? If it’s a forest with an orange sky, it will create extended edges of green and blend into the blue and orange of the sky. In less detailed scenes, it works it out and the results are beautiful. Again you have to see it. One tiny critique is for wall mounts the box will be behind the TV so for very flat, flush finishes you may need to think about it. You could have the box outside the TV frame, but you would need longer USB extensions. BUT as it connects to WiFi and has an app, you won’t need to touch the box after pairing and it can be hidden.

If you are looking to turn an ordinary living room television into a fully immersive, theatre-like experience, the Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite is an absolute masterclass in ambient lighting. While older camera-based backlights often struggled with accuracy and washed-out tones, this upgraded model completely fixes those pain points. It tracks your screen with incredible speed and accuracy, bringing movies, gaming sessions, and live sports right out into the room. ​Why this smart backlight system gets a solid 5 stars: ​Game-Changing Fish-Eye Correction: The standout feature here is the upgraded lens technology. Standard camera backlights often suffer from edge distortion, causing the LEDs to misinterpret colours at the far corners of the screen. Govee's brilliant fish-eye correction function rectifies this completely, flattening the camera's view so that the ambient light matches what's actually on your screen with pinpoint precision. ​Vibrant RGBICW 4-in-1 Lamp Beads: The brightness and colour depth of this 3.6m strip are phenomenal. By adding a dedicated white chip to the traditional red, green, and blue (RGBICW), the colours look incredibly rich, deep, and true to life. Pastel tones, bright explosions, and deep moody shadows are projected onto the wall behind your TV beautifully without looking artificial. ​Blazing Fast Screen Sync: There is virtually zero noticeable lag between the action happening on the screen and the light reacting on the wall. Whether you’re racing at 60fps on a console or watching a fast-paced action sequence, the seamless transition of light prevents any distracting delays and makes the screen feel twice as large. ​Significantly Reduces Eye Strain: Watching a bright television in a pitch-black room is a fast track to headaches and fatigue. By providing an automatic, responsive bias light behind the screen, this kit significantly softens the contrast for your eyes. It makes late-night viewing and long gaming marathons vastly more comfortable. ​Flawless App & Voice Control: The Govee Home app is incredibly robust, allowing you to fine-tune the calibration, adjust saturation, or switch to smooth music-sync modes for parties. It also integrates effortlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant, meaning you can dim the room and fire up the cinema vibes with a quick voice command. ​Neat, Low-Profile Hardware: The camera mount is slim and sits incredibly securely on top of 55-65 inch panels without obstructing the screen or looking like an eyesore in the lounge. The strip itself cuts to length neatly and features heavy-duty adhesive that won't peel off under the natural heat of the television panel. ​Final Verdict: This is easily the most cost-effective way to get high-end, responsive ambient lighting without paying the extortionate premium of a native sync-box system. The fish-eye correction elevates the colour tracking to a professional level, and the RGBICW beads provide unmatched vibrance. If you want to give your home entertainment setup a massive wow-factor, this is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Setting the strip up was daunting but it was much better than I had expected. I bought the version for a 55 inch TV and it felt like there was a little more strip than I needed. Fortunately, I was able to readjust the strip by pulling it off the tv once or twice. One negative though is that the little bits of plastic used to hold the strip down at the corners have popped off a couple of times but this may be down to my installation. App setup is fairly straightforward but I did find the app a little annoying when trying to calibrate the camera so it was accurate. All of the dots were in the same part of the screen and dragging my finger across them didn’t help. However, after repeatedly tapping the screen it seemed to work! Mileage may vary on a non iPhone device! Once set up, the lights are fantastic! There’s a wide range of colour that add a nice bit of atmosphere when watching something in the tv. Colour accuracy isn’t perfect, but that’s to be expected when using a camera and not something that is plugged in via HDMI. The settings add a nice bit of versatility as you can decide to mirror the screen or add your own colour scheme. It’s also cool that you can change the brightness of a certain side/sides, useful if you really want to tailor the lights to the room. Finally, I really like using the Google Assistant connectivity to use a voice command to turn the lights on or off. Would definitely recommend using it if you can! Overall, the lights are great value for money. In the couple of months I’ve been using them, I’ve always noticed them being on and wondering why I didn’t take the plunge at this price sooner!

This lighting kit has been a major upgrade for my TV viewing experience and I would highly suggest investing in this as there isn’t anything like it. It’s great this kit works on all tv’s and most sizes and is very easy to install, the adhesive is strong and hasn’t failed yet, while my only complaint falls with the camera adhesive as that can be hard to line up and once you pull it off once it’s ruined so they should include a few replacements. The lighting quality is amazing and it looks sleek with only the camera standing out abit. You are able to control all of it through the app which connect over a 2.4ghz connection to your device and it has all the controls you need as well as in app support if you need any help so it has great connectivity. The colours are vibrant and you are able to tune them to your liking anyways and there isn’t much latency which you can notice so it’s all a pretty smooth viewing experience. It’s better if the background is a solid colour on your wall so that the colours can really bounce, and it should be close to the wall for the best experience.

Upgrades your viewing experience completely! Always been a bit skeptical with LED strips as my past experience with them hasn't been great - mainly due to the sticky tape no longer sticking. However, Govee use 3M sticky tape which has incredible adhesion with no risk of sliding off from the back of the TV. I love the vivid colours and brightness of the LED strip and it's very responsive (almost immediately) to what is shown on the screen. The setup/installation was a little fiddly but just make sure you take your time with it. Must say, at the price of £89.99, I'm extremely impressed with it as the quality represents something which would be worth way more than the price I paid. All in all, I absolutely love this product! Brings gaming to a whole a new level

Probably good quality but if you putting in corner of room not worth it, and mounted on stand cuts off effect, glow is not consistent. More suited to wall mounted tvs which if i had thought about it would not have bought!

im a massive tv and movie buff and treated myself to one of these and o my god was it worth every penny . The lighs draw you more into the film and lights up in amazing colours .Set up was so simple and easy to follow . Only down side is no remote you have to use the app on your phone

Bought this to complement a new HiSense TV we'd had to buy when our old Philips Ambilight TV broke down. Had seen reviews on YouTube and plenty of tech sites promoting/reviewing Govee products in a positive way. I enormously regret my purchase. This thing is flakier than a cereal factory. The install process is utterly broken. For a start the "quick start" guide lists steps in a different order to the manual and a different order again from the guide on the app. The installation process includes several details about just how precise you need to be when installing the light and the camera. So after taking all the necessary steps (including using a spirit level to check the camera angle) and after I'd stuck the packaged foam markers to the screen for calibration, I was disheartened to see that the calibration process is fully manual. The user is required to manually drag calibration markers to line up with the foam markers, but this is done through the worst interface I have ever seen, across a rubbish low-quality, grainy view top-down view of the TV. The calibration markers frequently placed themselves off the screen, meaning they could not be pulled back into place to line up. The app is inexplicably ~450mb. There is no reasonable explanation for this. It's fully double the size of the Hue app yet offers less than half the functionality. And yet it's required to be able to use these lights properly. It's slow, buggy and pretty hostile to users. The lights themselves are.... underwhelming for the price. They emit a pleasant enough light and can get bright but if you're expecting an adapting colour effect along the lines of what Ambilight offers then sadly this is not the product for you. When you actually find the "follow video" setting in the app, it seems that the best the lights can offer is to apply a general light tone behind the TV. Where Ambilight accurately (and quickly) uses light to "extend" the picture out behind your TV, these lights instead use the carefully-calibrated camera to.... make a rough and very slow estimate of whether the screen is mostly green/red/blue etc. I've tried as many different settings as I can, I've messed with the colour contrast and brightness settings, I've enabled "game" mode in the hope that performance would improve. Nothing helped. To top it all off, unlike any other cheap RGB light strip, these won't even power via the TV USB. You have to have a dedicated 240v plug socket for them. This means that the lights won't even power up with the TV. You have to either reach behind the set to find the button on the control box or you have to fire up the awful app. I will say that the 3M sticky material used is far better quality than I've seen on cheaper lights. But sadly this also means that I can't claim a refund because the lights have now fully bonded to the plastic on the back of the TV and I can't remove them. Absolutely not fit for purpose, avoid at all costs. I'd have been better-placed buying a cheap set of basic RGB lights from B&M

Geweldige achtergrond verlichting voor de tv. Makkelijk te installeren en veelzijdige functies om aan te passen naar keuze.

Great product, easy to install and set up. Works perfect and gives great light reaction.

Does what is says on the tin, the camera does stick out. Calibration took some time and accuracy is ok but not brilliant.

What amazing TV RGB lights, they do the job incredibly well. I have honestly become a huge fan of Govee products and recently ordered their RGBIC Floor Lamp as well. These lights are absolutely superb for enhancing the atmosphere in your living room, bedroom, or TV setup.

J’hésitais depuis un moment à sauter le pas pour un système d'ambiance TV, et je ne regrette absolument pas mon choix pour ce kit Govee. ​Le point qui m'inquiétait le plus était le montage, mais j'ai été très agréablement surpris : l'installation est d'une simplicité déconcertante. Tout est pensé pour vous faciliter la vie : ​La pose du ruban : Les bandes LED sont sectionnées pour correspondre parfaitement aux coins de la TV (plus besoin de plier le ruban au risque de l'abîmer). L’adhésif 3M tient vraiment bien, même sur le plastique texturé de mon écran. ​Le calibrage : Une fois la caméra posée sur le dessus (très stable), l’application Govee Home vous guide pas à pas. On place les petits carrés en mousse orange sur les coins de l'écran, on aligne les points sur l'appli, et c'est fini en moins de 10 minutes ! ​Plug & Play : La reconnaissance Wi-Fi et l'appairage se sont faits instantanément. ​Côté rendu, c’est une claque visuelle. Les couleurs sont vives, la réactivité est excellente et cela agrandit littéralement l'image sur le mur. Cela réduit aussi énormément la fatigue oculaire lors des sessions cinéma dans le noir.
