You Awaken My Memories of PHILIPS Ambilight TV 🔌📺

[@FROSTIXA]

Quick tips from a longtime user: 1. You don't need to use the orange markers, you can open up your TVs internal YT player and find the govee calibration video a user posted that places red squares. That way no sticky risk! 2. You can use an ND filter over top the camera to cut the light and provide more accurate colours in blown out/bright scenes/certain rooms. The camera let's in way too much light. 3. When calibrating don't pull right to the edge of TV, bring them in just a little bit.

[@FROSTIXA]

And for most accurate colour 0 saturation is def the way to go! Although some users like up to 40ish. I use 0 sat with 100 brightness with it :)

That’s pretty cool…. The only thing I don’t like is the camera at the top of the tv being always visible

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

Yes the looks is not for everyone,but you can also mount it at the bottom.

[@denodan]

Love mine, got mine 70mm from inside of the edges of the TV, having it to close to the edge will get dead spots in the corners, so not even, your is a little closer to the edge than mine. Have read 2 to 3" from the edge of the screen is ideal, but does not really matter, think nearer the edge would be brighter I guess. But works well. I have read an adjustable clip on nd filter colours are even better. The only issue I had, was the colour calibration squares were just in the view, and just visible. You can even use you tube calibration videos, don't actually need the blocks

[@av4921]

Does this work with flush wall mounted LG G2?

[@SparksLegend]

Hey Paul. Great video. I have the same TV, just wanted to know, would you really need to unmount it from the wall bracket in order to install the light strips? Or can you leave it mounted on the wall with the LG "No Gap" wall mount, and just pull it away a bit? Also, did you try place the camera at the bottom of the TV instead of at the top?

[@denodan]

Got the never kit that includes lightbars. It's better in everyway over the h6199 kit. The lightbars add evrn more, better colour as I am seeing more shades of orange, which usually is eith orange or goes red, the new one has more shades, same as blue, etc, colors change faster also. Better in everyway over the older one

In one of your videos I remember you said to take off the sticky plastic on the back of OLED tv LG C1, to avoid heat trap that causes pixel damage. since we are sticking the RGB strip on the back panel, wouldn't that cause the same damaging process?

These lights will put out hardly any heat, so should be fine

Nice review 👍🏻 I was just wondering if you could set these up without the camera and just customise what colours you want on? Like if I wanted it just all white or if I wanted static blue and purple. I know with some strips you can ‘paint’ on the app what colours you want around the TV. Cheers

@DJ RDM in this case yes, but the camer adds another dimension to the backlighting and think it's worth it. You can hide the camera, especially if you have a soundbar in front of tv, just sit it on the tv stand and have it pointing up, the soundbar hides the camera. Personally the camera on top does not bother me.

[@brainguynyc8729]

If I may criticize; you tend to skip over the installation process in many of your videos. Was it easy to install? Were you concerned about screen damage when sticking the calibration stickers to the front? Was it easy to avoid screen smudge when removing them? Are the lights easy to remove if you change your mind including the sticky stuff that holds them in place?

[@TheTechGiantYouTube]

I didn't bother showing the installation as too many keep complaining that the videos take too long and that I should just get to the point,so I did. They are easy enough to fit as it is just tape on the back. So peel the backing off and stick down. The foam pads,you just stick them on lightly,they then come off easily and leave no marks. So just don't push them down hard. Not removed the lights,as had no reason to,but I can't see why they'd be hard to remove.

[@Steve30x]

I have this on a 43" TV. What I've done is twist the strip in two areas like you have in the corner at the top and bottom and once on each side of the TV. It's extremely inacurate on my TV though. I've been told over and over to calibrate the camera and I've calibrated it more than two dozen different ways and nothing makes it show colours properly. But I'm hoping to buy a Philips 58" 8535 TV on black Friday.

[@ResidentStevil]

Could the camera be picking up any reflections? For example, from a gloss or glass topped TV unit? If that is the case, try connecting the camera to the bottom of your TV, hopefully that will solve the issue.

Hey Paul. I've been looking at getting one of these as I also have a 65 inch lg cx.

I'm worried that the lights won't have the same affect if lost within the empty space. Any thoughts?
