Dude. You are godsend ! You explained things so well and clearly. No unnecessary words or lines. Precise. Concise. Perfect. Thank you.

[@sheriffntx]

Just got the T2 on the recommendation after watching this video. Have had the T1 for about a year and didn’t think it could get any better. The T2 is so much more responsive and dynamic and the colors are truer. I don’t know how I watched TV before I found Govee!!! ❤

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Glad its working out well for you and I agree!! Lol I'm so used to it now that if I ever turn it off, it just feels weird lol.

[@sategllib2191]

I just got a really good deal on a t1 new open box, I kinda regret not getting the t2 but I did save $100. Maybe when the t3 launches

Thanks for the review, I was going to buy the T2 last week until I read the amazon reviews which I don't normally pay attention to when it comes to tech stuff but this would be my first Govee product so yea...

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching! Yeah they don't have the best reviews so far but I think its maybe because at least for me, it did take a little more time for me (compared to the T1) to dial in the settings to get it to the point where I was really impressed. I try not to read too much into amazon reviews. if I'm potentially interested in something, I'll buy it (as long as it has free returns) and if I don't love it after setting things up and playing around with it, I just simply return it.

[@crisnmaryfam7344]

Absolutely amazing. Would love to see more examples of it in action with something like Racing games, Flight sim games, stuff of that sort where the stuff you are moving past would simulate in the lights. Would also like to see it in a room set up symmetrical in nature, Love seat / Theater chair in the center, lights down both walls, behind you and the TV / PC screen. The anime and cartoon stuff is neato too. I can see kids falling in love with this setup. I know my boys would have adored this when they were at their "TV is SO cool" stage bouncing/dancing in their walkers or little bouncing chairs.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Those are some great ideas to try! I'm sure this wont be the last tv backlight product I test out so i'll keep those ideas in mind! It really is fun to watch/play different things with the setup. Never gets old! Lol and my kids do love it!

Did you post a video of how you did the corner? I found the video of cutting the lights but not how you put your track up or ran wires.

[@stogieee_d3627]

Love your reviews. Answered everything I needed to know about cutting the m1 lights n using sections in dream view Finally thinking of ditching my hue lights. These look amazing on video I’m sure even better in person. One question do you decide the sections by activating the lights into the sections you need and marking it from there so you can cut it

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! Glad you liked the video! I was wondering if I should cover exactly what your wondering in the video but I decided to not get that technical. So I did not do what you are mentioning. I just cut them and lived with where the app decided the sections were. If I were to do it again, I would not cut the strip and test things out with dreamview first to see how many leds corresponded with the 6 zones you can assign and then make the cuts from there. I hope that the breaks would be at specific cut points but being that the cut points are every .5 meters, i'm not 100% sure if it would work out that smoothly. Hope that makes sense!

You can hide the camera behind a soundbar or ornament.

[@scottmiller7284]

This is exactly what I had envisioned when I purchased my Govee gear. I have the T1 dream view Immersion kit with two lamps. Was hoping to sync all to the movie aspect,but lamps can't communicate with T1

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! Thats interesting. I wonder where the issue is coming from. Lamps or T1. I would reach out to govee on that one to see what they say. us.govee.com/pages/contact-us

[@slim617]

curious if you would ever try the camera under near the tv trick.

what's the shortest lengths the m1 can be cut and reattached? and do the m1 get hot?

[@julioramirez1103]

if you buy 2 govee m1 can you set both of them to dreamview

[@Cocker_Spaniel]

Does the m1 and t2 strips have differences? Which one is better

[@hustlehousemarv3625]

What are the full settings you have on the t2 your settings are the best I seen on KZbin. Yours more accurate what settings do you have it on to make it go black when is nothing showing while the video is playing

[@brianfisher9800]

Is there a we to do this for an 8 foot projector screen?

[@Nevarnost]

Awesome! I hope they stick to the camera by the way, maybe with a smaller module. Having a Syncbox means that you - are bound to use it only with HDMI peripherals - you are likely to not get that 4k 120hz on the newest consoles

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching! For sure some advantages to the camera as you pointed out! If I had to choose one over the other right now, I would also go with the camera!

[@lolztony]

yes but why does it have to be a big ugly dildo at the top of the screen???????????? They could easily make it a camera that is in front of the tv, or across the room pointed at the TV so its out of sight....

[@ravic1754]

Also the syncbox only works when the source is an external device connected to the TV. So apps on the TV such as KZbin, Roku, Prime etc will not sync with the lights since the TV itself is a source in the case of apps. Additionally, since the all of the external devices must be connected to the TV using the sync box as a pass through, there maybe some input lag. Especially when playing fast pace console games.

[@kccustodes2618]

Feedback would be helpful. I am using Govee M1 with Muzata diffusers. I am running it horizontally from the top of the door frame to the top of window frame. There is 1 interior 90 degree I will do and it all is about 1 foot from the ceiling. A single length starting at top of door frame, running horizontally to room corner, then remaining horizontal until it reaches the top corner of window frame. The entire distance is 16' 8", but the length of a Govee M1 is 16' 4". Could I give a 2" buffer at start and finish inside the Muzata diffuser and have it look okay? Would soldering 4" be that big an improvement? Plus I would actually need to buy another Govee strand to do it. I plan on getting more in the future, but at the moment I don't have it and would need to buy more just to cut 4" and solder on. Anyways, before I get myself frustrated, I was wondering if that 2 inches at start and finish would be ugly AF? I do not want to use the sticky tape and have to pull it up on the entire length later on to fix it.... Also, a video for you might be how to decorate with them. Things you have seen, ideas, concepts, etc? Basically, you might be able to get a few more vids out by describing, demonstating, etc, tasteful ways to use them. TBH, most rooms I see have way to many LED strips and look like LED vomit, but your builds have as many LED and look amazing. So that visually affirms that how you use LED matters.

[@dbtalks20]

Can we place this camera at lower middle position (instead of top middle) position facing up to the screen?

[@jrcastanaza]

Was it hard to remove the LED Strip from the T1 setup? Do u have any recommendations as to how to do it the easiest way possible so I can use the T1 strip again and just reinstall it on me bedroom setup?

[@4leafclover243]

Great review Chris! Do you mind to do a video on how and what connectors you used to separate the M1s? Thanks for your consideration 🤟

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! Unfortunatly I still have not found any connectors that fit the Govee M1. There are a lot of connectors I found that have 4 pins but are only for led strips that are 10mm wide. The govee M1 is 12mm wide. So I just soldered everything. Here is the video where I go over cutting up the M1: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZqiXhJqmi9SKqrc

[@4leafclover243]

[@josevicentemejia3237]

Buenas noches, saludos desde Pery, podrías compartir los videos que usaste para el test que hiciate porfavor.

[@ravic1754]

How would you compare this to the philips hue sync box. I know one advantage of the govee is that it does not use HDMI to sync the colors and uses a camera instead of an HDMI sync box like the philips. This also means the philips cannot sync to apps natively on the tv like youtube or hulu since the box requires a source to be connected to the sync box but the source itself is a TV so the lights can't sync.

[@phonejail]

I notice the camera so much that I had to look to see if I had a camera when you mentioned it being a deal breaker for some folks.

[@MrDeanow24]

Great video. The manufacturer says you cant cut the M1 strips smaller than 3m? But yours seem 1m max? Is this something you knew but did it anyway?

Can you sync your other govee box to other govee products?!

[@razthelizardking86]

Hey Chris what's that game at 6:47?? looks dope

[@Juncti]

Is there anyway to rig the camera to the bottom instead of top? I could see that being a lot cleaner look, especially if you have a soundbar or something in front of the camera to make it even more hidden. If not a native way to install on bottom, could the installation just be reversed by the user since the camera is just looking for a rectangle? Maybe running the camera and wires upside down could allow you to reverse the mapping in the app. I'm definitely considering this when the larger screen version is in stock, but I would have to have it at the bottom to not upset other people in the house lol

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

You for sure can still do it underneath but at the time they dont have the software to select that as an option so you just have to pretty much select the opposite settings since everything is upside down. It still works perfect underneath! This guy did a great video on the process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZrXp2mDdr2Ed68

[@adamanderson9881]

So you don't have to connect it with an hdmi cable from the control box to the tv? And are all of govees stuff compatible or just certain things? I've been wanting this so bad, and now they have a new version, so glad I waited.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks for watching! No control box with the Govee setup. The camera simply captures whatever is on the tv so you can keep everything the exact same as you do now. Its nice how simple it is as long as you don't mind the camera! I'm used to it by now so I don't even notice it!

[@allegiencelies6610]

[@xenomorphlover]

3:50 do you remember what videos that was? Thanks 😊

[@edwint1780]

Very cool but one major issue that still detracts me from getting this is the noticeable amount of lag. The lights always seem to be about half a second behind the colors on the TV. This is not an issue if you just want this for ambience while listening to a music video but when watching an action movie or playing a game, it can be distracting seeing those lights always trying to catch up to what had already happened on the screen.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! Yeah even though many claim that there is zero lag, it still does appear to the eye that there is. I watched this video a while back which I thought was very interesting on this topic. Maybe you would enjoy it like I did! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5vSk6t4mberiLc

[@edwint1780]

@@ChrisMaherDIY I've watched it. That's a really good video that helps better understand why there is a perception of lag. So my takeaway is that the lag is caused by there being a delay between the transitions. The initial color appears to be in-sync with the screen but then for the consecutive colors is where there is a lag. Each color lingers around for too long. To me that strikes me as an issue with the software more so than the hardware. Which means it could be easily rectified via a patch.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

@@edwint1780 yeah that's kinda what I was thinking! Hopefully at some point a product will come out that is truly instant!

I'm so back and forth on getting the t2. Currently have the t1, but reviews are saying it's not the big of an upgrade to move from t1 to t2. I have the money for it, but I dont wanna feel like I wasted my money getting it.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Yeah it's a tough call. I certainly do think it's better but we are almost at the point of it being like upgrading your iphone. Is it a better phone? Sure. But is it a huge difference? No. It would be nice if govee had a trade in program where you could send the old one back and get the new one for like half off. That would be nice!

[@paulcipriano5807]

@@ChrisMaherDIY yeah I mean I would definitely be more comfortable getting it if govee would communicate more often and guaranteed t2 will be getting more updates with the software and the app, but who knows. I know the color display is still bad, but in dark scenes the t1 is bad with showing like purple and somtime a green hue when it should be black. Does the t2 improve on this? I know you had a small segment in your video, but if it really does improve that, then I'd upgrade just for that alone haha.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

@@paulcipriano5807 it's still not perfect but I do think it's better. You might just have to try it and if it's not what your wanting, send it back. Gotta love Amazon's return policy! I have a Kohl's like 7 minutes from my house which is one of the no label no package drop off locations lol.

@@ChrisMaherDIY a huge reason I wanted to get the t2 was if it is better, I'd want the best experience while playing God of War Ragnarok when it releases lol. I know eventually I'll get the t2, because why not get something that's a tad better than what you have? I just hope they don't release a better version of the t2 and you'd have to replace the old t2 instead of being able to update it.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

The camera does work from underneath (i tested this out) and you can have it sitting on something. I hope they will add the software to make this a little simpler but when you have the camera at the bottom, all the setting and setup process is pretty much reversed.

@@ChrisMaherDIY thanks. I would be planning on hiding the camera inside a shelf that is above the tv. But the additional video was helpful, as it shows that it will still work not being directly attached to the tv.

Can someone post a link to the video being played at 7:30 (the flying colorful dot)? That video would be great for me to test/adjust my T1. Thanks!

Can I sync up al my govee lights like your using the Sync Music box devices syncing 7 devices?? I want this!!

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! I still have not played around with the sync music box yet so i'm not 100% sure of all the capabilities. I'm pretty sure though at least for the dreamview experience that i'm using in this video, the max number of govee products you can sync together is 5 at this time. Maybe that will increase down the road with software updates but thats the max right now.

What’s the video at 6:39

[@the-bu3lb]

Do u have some sorta plastic cover over the leds like a diffuser

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, I have a diffuser channel from muzata. They perfectly diffuse the lights when using something that at least has 60/leds per meter. Here is the video I made going over this more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpmwn36MpqZ8jdk

I love Govee products. I have the T1 on my Sony for 3 years now and love the RGB lights. I did have to put a littel plastic filter on the camera lens to cut out the TV light. The lights are now much more realistic to the picture. Do you think the T2 needs a littel filter as wel ??? Thankyou for showing these great images and the matching colours. I really one buy this next version. But I'm afraid the quality isn't improved enough for the price. What do you think ? Is is worth the price enough

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

I've head of people doing the filter! Do you notice a big difference?! I never did that on the T1. I would say if your more than happy with the T1, then maybe wait it out. I do notice a difference but like you said, its not a night and day difference. I thought the T1 was great and I think the T2 is a little bit better. I wish they had a trade in program lol

[@petermulder7480]

Yes very BIG difference. Far more natural colours.

[@jakedylan7055]

@@petermulder7480 can you describe the filter or provide a picture of it so I can put one on mine as well , it sounds awesome

[@petermulder7480]

@@jakedylan7055 You take some plastic 3 D glasses you get from movie theatre. You push out the black glas and cut out small oval like cirkel big enough to cover the Govee camera lens. I used some tape to stick it all together. Done. The colour output is of course less because the camera is wearing sunglasses. But the big difference is the light input from the TV. That is far less and there for the RGB colours are only appearing if the screen colours are bright enough. It's a littel bit of a trade. But I hate wrong colours matching from screen to RGB led. Very distracting and takes me out of the movie/game. So with the sunglasses the camera isn't overexposed with light from the screen and only sees the prominent colours. I hope it works for you as well. Let us know. If you have the glasses then it's a 5 min build.

[@jakedylan7055]

I have the t2 and bought the 15 inch RGBIC tv light bars, Do you know if they can sync together? I’m having trouble getting them to sync in dreamview. Thanks.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! I don't know why it would not be compatible but I also have not played around with the light bars much. Did the tv light bars come with a camera as well? If your not getting any answers, might be a good one for Govee support: us.govee.com/pages/contact-us

Any thoughts on using a 75inch strip on 65inch tv

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! I did give it thought but I wouldn't do it. I don't think it would turn out very good or accurate. I could be wrong but that's just my initial thoughts. It would be nice if they made it so you could cut it for an exact fit!

[@paulcipriano5807]

I have the T2 now and was wondering, do you have a new settings preference for more accuracy?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! it took a good amount of tweaking but the white balance is closer to the left and the saturation is around 17% Those were the settings that gave me the best accuracy on my tv. The biggest things though for me was to have my tv on its bright/vivid setting. That helped a good amount. And finally I think the brightness of the T2 i have set to around 50%. That's what I used!

[@paulcipriano5807]

@Chris Maher appreciate the tip, thank you.

[@straights]

Calibration of the TV should be done with house lights off to improve accuracy.

[@cnuckols1]

Is it possible to use the m1 lights with the T2 camera without the lights from the T2 kit?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! Great question. I'm not 100% sure since I have not tested this out yet but I don't see why not. I think you could just unplug the lights that come with the T2 and I would assume everything would still work and you could then just set up the M1 like normal in dreamview. If I get around to testing this out, I'll let you know! Thanks!

[@Apfelaktuell]

But one question. Do I’ve to use the Govee app everytime to enable or disable the TV filming mode ? Or is it even possible with Google Assistant?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! So I always just keep it turned on. When the tv is off there is just a slight glow coming from behind the tv but when the tv turns on, it will automatically start mirroring the screen. I also believe you can simply use voice commands to turn it on or off as well.

[@tylerloganb]

Does anyone know how to get the LED strip to stop Emitting a white light when the TV screen is black or off? Currently on the m1 tv backlight

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and that's a great question that I would love to know as well! I just wish that they had the ability to turn the lights on and off automatically when I turn the tv on or off (maybe this is an option but if It is, I'm not aware of how to do it!)

[@mephInc]

I was torn between the govee and ambivision. I went with the ambi setup but your govee appears to have less lag Watching further, ambivision gives you more than enough led strip. Even at the very edge on an 85", I still had at least three feet left. You cut the strip to length and it maps the layout and counts the leds automatically.

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment! I've heard good things about the AmbiVision! What are your overall thoughts on it? Do you think it would be worth me checking out?! I do love the idea of cutting the strips to size vs pre set length.

[@mephInc]

@@ChrisMaherDIY It comes with 3 color leds + pure white leds so the colors are great. The good/bad is that they let you adjust everything from individual color sensitivity, color curves, what the camera sees, the smoothness(delay), led offset...literally everything. It will even automatically adjust the colors to match your wall color. Drawback is that the instructions are very vague and you can get way in over your head.

[@michaelpolicastro4113]

Is there any else that can be added just the same as the M1 strip?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching and great question! There are a lot of their products that can be added. In my previous video I synced some hexa panels, the lyra floor lamp and the govee glide: kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKW7qomLjtt7ick I would say the majority of their products the past 2 years will sync with dream view!

[@ridzz10]

How much clearance between the wall and TV is needed to mount the camera. I only have 7cm of space.

[@thefisherman2837]

I was looking for this answer ha. Mines 7cm from the wall and doesn't seem as big an area as this

Philips does it, it's called Ambilight

Thanks so much for watching and that is a great idea! I'm not sure of anyone that does this (led strips build into the tv, no external sync box, etc)

So the T2 also controls the colors any other Govee lights I link to it?

[@ChrisMaherDIY]

Thanks so much for watching! That is correct! You can hook up any other compatible govee product with the t2 dreamview mode and set it to sync with the tv. In my experience, most of their newer type products (around the last 2 years) are compatible.
