Govee Envisual TV LED Backlight T2 with Dual Cameras for 55-65 inch TVs

Does exactly what I expected and more! Since I bought this, Govee has released AI filters for movies and it does an even BETTER job with color accuracy than when I first set it up. It really is a sophisticated way of implementing AI into your product. Also, You can create scenes and custom profiles. Honestly I don't use 80% of that stuff because I have no need, but everything that I have tested at length works perfectly. Lights are responsive and the camera seems to be high quality. It even has a microphone so you can listen to music and the lights react to the beat. Caution: DO NOT press too hard on the light strips when applying them to the back of your TV. I think I pushed a single LED diode through the clear diffuser and the light did not look right when that specific LED was shining on the wall. I fixed this by placing a tiny amount of masking tape over that specific diode because all the light strips were already on the TV and I'm pretty sure that was my fault. I would suggest also plugging in the LED strips first to make sure they are working properly before applying them to your TV. Be careful when applying and the product is otherwise flawless in my opinion and well made.

I bought this to use with my large TV in my movie room. It was easy to set up with the instructions and to pair the lights with the app. Easy to control with the app. The colors are very vibrant. I have found that there are sometimes issues with the camera sensing the correct colors on the tv. I have moved to where I rarely use the active colors that use the camera and I will just set my own colors.

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.

Not saying I’m disappointed in the product at all because it was and does everything I was hoping to get out of the purchase especially after it was all said and done with everything is crisp, snappy and smooth and the colors pop strongly. Reason for the 4 star and not 5 is due to installation material provided, and this could very well be an unlucky coincidence that can vary with item to item but I’ve had better success with the double sided tape on the on the light strip on cheap Temu light strips. Right out the package and removing the protective layer slowly applying it to the TV it was quickly falling off despite doing the preparation process thoroughly. Ended up having to replace the entire strip on the right and top side due to how poor it handled and the new tape it stuck tightly on there, the left side and the bottom strip I should have taken the time to replace as well as I imagine it’ll eventually fail as it’s slipping at the top and bubbling a bit as it comes off the bottom. I’d just recommend if you do purchase consider buying double sided tape to replace as well with it if you don’t have some already.

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.

I originally purchased the Govee TV Backlight T2 for the TV in my bedroom, and it has completely changed my viewing experience. The best way I can describe it is this: I was watching TV in my living room one night, and there was a scene that looked so visually stunning that my first thought was, “I need to see what this looks like upstairs with the T2.” I literally went to my bedroom, pulled up the same scene, and it looked incredible. The backlighting added so much depth and immersion that it felt like I was experiencing it in a whole new way. The dual-camera setup does an amazing job matching the colors on the screen. The transitions are smooth, the colors are vibrant, and it makes movies, shows, cartoons, and gaming feel much more cinematic. I previously owned one of Govee’s standard TV backlights, and while that was nice, the T2 is on a completely different level when it comes to accuracy and overall effect. Installation took a little patience, but once everything was calibrated, it was absolutely worth it. I’ve included a video in my review because photos don’t really capture how impressive it looks in person. Pros: • Excellent color accuracy • Responsive and immersive lighting • Huge upgrade over the standard backlight • Easy customization through the app • Makes movie nights and TV watching more enjoyable If you’re debating whether the T2 is worth the extra money, my answer is yes. It’s one of those purchases that makes you look for excuses to watch your favorite scenes all over again.

Update: Excellent customer service. Look forward to trying their next generation of lights. I love Govee products overall. This one is hit and miss. In the dark, it’s fine and works great. But I noticed that depending on which lights are turned on in my living/dining room, the colors will not match. Whites come out as yellow and blues as green. Sometimes I can trick it by turning it on before the lights, but lately I find myself using just a single color instead of the camera integration. For the install, the lights on the corners don’t stick very well. Stronger adhesive and additional mounting tape/pieces would’ve been helpful.

This has surprisingly helped lower my electric bill! I use these lights every evening while watching TV, and they provide the perfect amount of illumination, so I rarely need to turn on the room lights. The soft backlighting creates a cozy, movie theater-like ambiance that’s perfect for relaxing. The best part is the smart home integration. I have it connected to Alexa, and it’s always a hit with guests. Saying, “Alexa, turn the TV backlight on,” never fails to impress, and it works flawlessly every time. It’s one of those features you don’t realize you need until you have it and now I can’t imagine my entertainment setup without it. Highly recommended!

Great product and arrived very quick

I’m using this on. 77” LG G4 OLED TV. Component Installation was easy and after a bit of frustration I was able to complete the calibration procedure. In the end calibration was reasonably simple, but the directions are a bit vague so it took me three attempts to get it. It does do a good job of projecting similar screen colors on the wall behind the tv and reacting to color changes on the TV in real time, it looks really good and I’m happy with the purchase.

Sensacional!!! Precisa calibrar certo para ter um bom funcionamento das leds, mas depois disso não fica mais sem! Adorei mesmo

Increíble. El empaque viene muy protegido el producto. Tiene instructivo pero es muy sencillo colocar, simplemente mide la pantalla, centra la tira de led, quita el adhesivo y colócalo lo más horizontal y vertical que te sea posible. Tiene esquineros para poder fijar los cables en las esquinas. La calibración se hace desde la aplicación del móvil, es sumamente simple, podrás observar cómo la cámara reproduce el contenido del perímetro de la imagen y hace operar los leds con mucha precisión. Funciona con Google home y Alexa, con la aplicación tiene varias modalidades de ambiente e incluso puede funcionar con la música usando el micrófono del celular o el propio aparato tiene micrófono que con el sonido anima las luces. Puedes controlar la intensidad del brillo, la transición, en fin, muy muy completo y recomendable. Si cuentas con más focos de la misma marca, podrás ampliar la sensación de inmersión ya que puedes agruparlos y hacerlos funcionar todos juntos.

Easy to install following the instructions. Recommend watching a couple of videos on YouTube to pick up little tips around installation and calibration to make things easier and improve the experience. As an example, I discovered before I installed mine if the lights are installed on the very outer edges of the back of the TV you might be able to see the actual LEDs when you are sitting to the far left or right of the TV while watching a show. I mounted mine roughly 10mm in from the edges, but the back of my TV is completely flat from edge to edge. If your TV has beveled/angled outer edges you might need to experiment before sticking them down. The instructions also direct you to calibrate the system for your individual TV which I highly recommend. Out of the box the lights are set to "vivid" which was initially spectacular, but I discovered it was a bit too intense for movies. although probably perfect for gaming. Using the Govee app on a tablet I changed the setting to "smooth" with a bit of additional calibration which has improved the experience for us. So, what's it like. Fantastic. With the addition of a new Atmos sound system I bought recently I was watching a show where the onscreen characters were inside a creepy old house while a storm was raging outside. Between the rumbling of the sound system and the Govee lights flashing in sync with the lightning on the screen I felt like I was in an actual storm. Overall, the LEDs are very responsive to the action on the screen with some very minor delays which are not noticeable unless you are looking for them. Afterall the lights are meant to be in your peripherals given you are watching the screen, not the wall. If you like to be immersed in your movies and not just watching them this is definitely a good addition to your home theatre.
