Govee Light Bars Just Delivered A KNOCKOUT🥊 To Philips Play Bars! Update Overview + Tips & Tricks

[@MrTekSuggest]

The New Immersion/ Bar product kit review is up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4rCinZjidmBp5o

[@waniskandar4612]

Right before sleep, I am able to listen to your calming voice while enjoying your content. What a time to be alive!

[@MrTekSuggest]

It is my great pleasure! Glad you enjoyed 😁

[@patrickyeary]

Yes! I didn’t realize the update released! Can’t wait to get home and check it out! So excited! Great video! I learned of the update from your older video

[@Web-Slinger42]

So in your opinion, which one do you like better in general after the newest update for the bars? Not talking tv size into account, just in terms of the products themselves, govee light bars vs govee strips? What is the pros and cons of both?

[@edwardferry8247]

It’s primary problem is not having a flexible camera head. Depending on your TV or monitor the camera may not be picking up the screen area properly. I have to tilt mine quite far forward for it to work so it’s not the best solution. If I could just dip the camera head rather than the entire stand as well this would be so much better. Cant complain for £50 though, cheap as chips in comparison to Philips. I have Philips hue all over the house and they are superb I just wasn’t prepared to pay what they were asking for the HDMI box. I would definitely recommend these lights for TV.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Im glad thet go to this dark red vs a light color when its all black, I think it picks up reflection on the monitor and thus that is the closest color.

[@justinhouser6071]

Best lighting reviews hands down! you actually show what i want to see thank you!

[@MrTekSuggest]

[@TheGamingCrib75]

Got these bars for £50, so far they are great. Using PS5 and watching movies I'm liking them.

[@fritolaid6805]

Thanks for making a light bar video that speaks in plain English! My tv is 42 inches and the only option for smaller TVs is light bars are either govee or philips since everything else is for bigger TVs

[@MrTekSuggest]

You bet! Unfortunately that is correct. The bars are intended to fill the need for smaller screens. But it would be nice to see a strip provided as well.

[@Antimonkat]

This would be especially badass with some full screen winamp vis plugins on the tv. I'm really loving what Govee is bringing to the table, way better value then Hue, but as many or more features, other hue competitors disapoint me (looking at you C by ge) because of the app issues and lack of functionality, and not relaly sure whats up with lifx, almost as expensive and seem really small in the space, almost feels like they are phasing out production. Meanwhielgoovee continues to innovate, release updates to already great software and keep making new products, like the upcoming floor lamp whch looks great.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Indeed!

[@rjperusquia3993]

So I added the bars today! Did the update and I added them up top a little higher then the tv, put them on my shelves and huge difference. So happy I spent the extra money and picked them up

[@zacharykoplik6135]

Picked up the bars around a month or two ago based on your original review and after the update they’re even better. Regarding the red light bug when the screen is dark, mine are almost always the dim white unless the screen is reflecting me/the room in it.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Appreciate your support! As for the red light, what brightness level do you have the bars set to? I notice that when brightness is above 30%, this bug happens far less frequently.

The main feature of the Hue Play Bars is the Hue entertainment compatibility. To compare the HPB with the Govee lights is like comaring apples with pears.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Firstly, I like Philips products. And I agree, the HPB’s strongest draw is the ecosystem that it was designed for. But what we shouldn’t do, is overlook shortcomings, simply because of ease of use within a family of products. Many android users argue this very point with Apple users. And though I predominantly use Apple products, I clearly see this point, and wholeheartedly concur.

[@donwarren8865]

This is great. I have the line of lights on the back of the tv but this so much more.

[@MrTekSuggest]

If you are happy with the strips for your screen size, then you’re good to go. These bars are better served with smaller screens, and/or those who want supplemental lighting, in addition to strips.

[@rootstriker1618]

Can you put the cameras on the tv stand looking back at the tv? I absolutely hate them on the tv

[@MrTekSuggest]

If you can get the angle just right to capture all 4 corners, I don’t see why not!

[@anwarallie]

Great video. I'm now going to buy the light bars. Hesitated because I read that they didn't sync to the TV left and right. So that was needed was for Govee to update the software? You don't have to buy new light bars?Thanks man,your videos really help.

[@iagobkstar]

The only thing I have to add is that with a normal LCD TV, they don't pick up color as well as with an OLED. Dark isn't dark, but will depend on your specific TV (some people get a blue hue, other red/purple hue). Also, the split screen function seems not to be working so well for me

[@MrTekSuggest]

Keep your eyes peeled I’ll be diving in on the latest and greatest product.

[@alegor69]

Can you use more than 2 light bars per camera? I have an ultrawide monitor and would like to add two more lights to the setup

Great Video. I own 3 hue play bars with the 75” hue gradient light strip. And this video makes me want to change my whole setup. I’m going to go check out more of your videos. Thank you for being so detailed and informative 🙏🏼

[@MrTekSuggest]

Really appreciate your comment and feedback. I love having productive talks with hue product owners. What would you say are your biggest pet peeve’s currently with your hue set up?

[@BILLIONAIRE1SH]

@@MrTekSuggest I just set it up about 2 weeks ago . Because I brought the play bars first. I got 1 then the 2 pack came back in stock (white) and the gradient light strip was the hardest to get sold out everywhere. But because of your video I see that the Govee bars out perform the hue. I will send you my cons when I have more time with them. Keep up with the wonderful content you’re providing us subscribers. I’m about to get those wall panels also. But you recommend white which I’ll probably do. But I really like the gray. I’m going with the pvc also.

[@daniel_klett]

did you still neet the second cam after the update or is there now a sync feature to use the strip and the bars together?

[@MrTekSuggest]

Two cameras are still required unfortunately for a dual set up. A single camera for the bars and a single Camera for the Immersion Light strips. Here is a tutorial on my set up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4rQdoN5dpepnbM

[@lexv.i.]

It works!! I'm happy! Thank you for your extensive, inspired video. Nice setup too. Now that everything is working, I would also go for the 2nd set. Also have the wifi rgb led strip lights. It's just a shame that it can't set up synchromesh with the Govee Flow Pro. Maybe the future? keep the good work mr Tek.

[@MrTekSuggest]

That’s awesome! Did Govee lend a hand in troubleshooting? Definitely would like to see future hardware that allows for a single camera. I appreciate your support 😁!

[@lexv.i.]

Had sent an email via the app, but had not heard from Govee yet. Got a chat from someone (krsnry) here, who had the same problem, and advised me to do a post-update recalibrate. after 2x it worked.

My goal is not to sell, it is to inform. Did you watch the video in it’s entirety? I raise criticisms where appropriate. The bars are not perfect, but neither are Philips Hue products. I will say that the Govee line has far less limitations and roadblocks. Which is a plus.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Hey there. Wow! $700?! One of the major pros with the Govee color syncing science, is that it tracks data externally and therefore all data sources, DRM content, as well as hdmi 2.1 pose no issue. 3D content also will work without issue ;) check out the link for a more comprehensive review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ_cqqmPe9ycppY

@@MrTekSuggest h6163. Highest brightness out of govee from what I've seen

[@Revell25]

I just added these to my T2 camera and light strip setup. I was going to get the smaller light bars. I think they’re just older or pass gen, maybe used for smaller TVs? I use to be so frustrated with my system but I have to say it’s gotten a lot better. I really thought it was just about lowering your saturation and then finding the right white color balance. But now i changed my brightness from like 75%-100% down to 25% and looks so much better and accurate. I didn’t think just lowering the brightness would make this difference. There is a relativeness brightness I saw. Do you have that on a specific percentage and if it should be really low too? Thanks!

Hey there, if you have the update fully installed. It sounds like you need to re-calibrate in order for the split screen to work correctly. You can find a digital Calibration link in the description of this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ_cqqmPe9ycppY

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Super cool! I do find the implementation a little bit finnicky, but i cant think of a different way. Its super ncie also the different colors per light. I did somwhat expect they would also light vertically different. I hope they add that in the future. They still dont make proper use of the RGBIC possibilities for LIVE mode. But this is a big progress, super job by Govee!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

PS my app did upgrade, but still said v 1.00.00 ?!? i guess it needs a restart EDIT thats is for the hardware actually, just saw the app has different version

So would you say for a little smaller tv and space, you’d put them long ways on the tv? Cause when I did the stripes I had to do like a double on the bottoms vs the top and the sides

[@MrTekSuggest]

Definitely vertical mount the bars for smaller screen ;)

[@Rad1oD3mon]

So my main question would be what is your overall recommendation for the Govee products as a main entertainment lighting enhancement? I have the full Philips Hue package (tv backlighting, sync box and hub) and Govee is far more affordable. But now that I have the Philips products, I wonder if Govee was the better option. Thoughts?

[@MrTekSuggest]

I think products from both brands are awesome. There are major pros and cons with each, though. I will say that the Govee solution has far less restrictions and roadblocks (0 video source limitations, 0 HDMI 2.1 limitations & 0 DRM limitations.... But the trade off for this Govee freedom is the visible camera and less accuracy in general. But the color science is getting better as time goes on. Hope that helps!

Hey there, I appreciate it! I’m currently using the 2020 LG CX OLED. Love it as well.

1990: sneakers with lights. 2022: RGB bars.

Love this video, definitely had to get them as soon as the video started. Followed the link as well. Would love to see that video on how u installed. #MTSBarHack

Hey they! Glad you enjoyed it and thank you for your support!

[@marcoontingco5370]

i see you got 2 camera attached on your TV, does it mean i need another camera for the bar to sync it up with the immersion?

[@MrTekSuggest]

Two cameras are unfortunately a necessary evil for this dual setup. Check this video out here for more details and tricks: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ_cqqmPe9ycppY

Hey man just curious what video you use for the color demos

[@MrTekSuggest]

Hey there, here's a good one : kzbin.info/www/bejne/faWZqH56o6xjrqM

[@TrenT360]

Hi there..new to the channel...do you have the strips on and the bars? Or that's the bars only on the demo?..and when the tv goes black..the lights turn off...my strips goes blue and doest turn off..how I set them to turn off when blacks...and why 2 cameras?

[@MrTekSuggest]

First and foremost, welcome! Throughout the demo, I showcase the bars both on their own as well as with the immersion 2.0. Take note of the captions as the lights change. Try adjusting your saturation between zero and 15%, that should assist with the strips dimming white when the screen goes black. Check out this video here for more info on my dual camera set up kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ_cqqmPe9ycppY

[@Chesterflaps]

Still needs work. Mine now work independently but display random colours.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Try playing around with the saturation, and make sure that there aren’t any other RGB light sources the cameras might be picking up.

[@Chesterflaps]

@@MrTekSuggest I have the immersion lights as well but I make sure to calibrate well inside the tv frame to avoid reflection from the immersion lights or the bars themselves. The immersion strip works ok but the bars don’t.

[@MrTekSuggest]

@@Chesterflaps I am assuming that the camera for your bars are in the same vicinity as the camera for your strips?

[@Chesterflaps]

@@MrTekSuggest they’re next to each other. I did what someone else suggested and calibrated further in at the sides. Works better but because it is looking further in from the edge, it displays the colour which is a few inches in from the side rather than what’s at the side, it often gives a different colour to the immersion lights.

[@mikedorn2971]

Hi, its possible to Use this together with the imersion with one camera?

[@MrTekSuggest]

It is not unfortunately right now, hence the two cameras

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Dang this makes your setup pretty sick now! I remember the flow pro being a bit off in one color, this split screen is pretty sick isnt it?

[@MrTekSuggest]

Huge improvement!

[@ariusaneid1451]

I love my immersion light strip, but I cannot stand that skin tones end up displaying purple/magenta, and dark scenes are almost always a bright blue (unless the entire screen is dark, but if a side is dark, its almost always blue). I'd love to add these into the entire setup, but seeing more of this aspect isn't super great. Plus, is there any indication they plan to allow multiple lights to run off a single camera? Can't really get excited about adding to it if I need yet another of those sticking out. Love the videos by the way, sold me the first time, for sure!

[@MrTekSuggest]

Hey, definitely some valid gripes you’ve voiced. It is highly likely that if the single camera innovation happens, it would be through new hardware of a next gen. I agree that multiple cameras for a larger immersive experience should not be a necessary trade off. And most certainly, more fine tuning is needed on the color matching science . Above all, my goal is to give you guys the facts, the good, the bad and everything in between, so that you can make the best decision for YOU!

[@ariusaneid1451]

@@MrTekSuggest Absolutely, and I appreciate your video because it gave me a lot of info to make an educated decision! Hopefully the color tuning is something they actually do more of with software updates. I did some testing after making this comment and realized I'm getting less of the blue color than I think I used to. It seems to be connected to dark gray specifically. Black goes to a dim white (used to always be blue when I originally got it), light gray goes to a brighter white. But that dang blue on those darkish scenes and the purple when watching anything with close ups of people is the only thing that ruins it for me. Turning my saturation and brightness down makes it easier to manage though. At least it doesn't cost $500+ to start and forces you to ignore your smart TV built in apps by making you run your media through an HDMI box 😁 By the way, have you done any compiling or testing of callibrating techniques, or tips/tricks during calibration that help make it better? I saw some random things here and there suggested, but it all seemed more or less guesses.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Have you seen the latest model yet. Great improvements! kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4rCinZjidmBp5o

[@CanoNuevaYork]

So I just ordered the strip. Has the update hit for the bars to sync too? Will 1 camera suffice? I see u have 2. Great review my man.

[@MrTekSuggest]

Nice! The update is ready for the bars now. And if you choose to go the dual set up route, you will need two cameras to make it work. Check out this video for more details: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJ_cqqmPe9ycppY

@@MrTekSuggest can't wait! Strip tomorrow and bars Thursday. 85 incher so hoping the bars help. Already checked out ur update vid... Sorry. Gonna now look at ur link provided. U rock!!! Subbed!!

Hey man, I also use this setup but I've also been curious what that white wall cover is. I have my lights against some brown window blinds, and I reckon having those white mosaic covers might exaggerate the effect. If anyone else knows, please reply thanks!
