Govee TV BackLight 3 Lite Review - The Difference Is UNREAL!

[@CityBoy53]

I've just done something I'd never done before and something I never thought I would do. Paused your video about a third of the way through and bought a Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite. Enjoyed the rest of the video. Thank you for the way you present and for your honesty and truthfulness

[@paulhibbert]

❤️ thanks mate, you’ll love it!

[@jettsaustrup4740]

So how was it! Curious to hear the results

[@Hasithism]

​@@jettsaustrup4740 4 months and we still in suspense

[@robopam]

Ordered one. Sale price was $59 usd. I will post impressions when I get it going. First movie will be Godzilla Minus One for the nuclear breath and then a couple episodes fromnthe first season of Demon Slayer anime. (Which is famous for its use of color) UPDATE- Demon Slayer demo is on my channel. Very impressive!

I love my T1 and will be sticking with it as the T2/T3 can’t be used with mounting beneath the TV (at least not as easily). It’s all linked to my Home Assistant/Hubitat/Homekit environment and the colour accuracy is plenty good enough for me. Plus the T3 doesn’t seem to have 75 inch support yet. Tip: Use the KZbin calibration video which has the 4 orange squares in the corner to save sticking the physical ones on your screen during setup.

[@flink6150]

looking at buying a T1, but the ugliness on the top of the tv does my head in, can you actually just put the t1 on the bottom insteaD?

@@flink6150 yep. The software fully supports it, part of the setup asks you for the orientation. There are a number of KZbin channels showing some nice ways to totally hide it on your TV stand as well (personally I’ve just stuck it to the bottom of the TV as it is floating on an arm off the wall so no other option).

@@flink6150 look for MrTek Suggest ditch your T1 camera video.

[@redeyewill100]

You can put the t2 camera on the bottom. DIY and reverse the calibration.

[@chrismiranda5648]

They make it in a 75” and up now

[@okieculturalcenter]

Watched the video yesterday, bought it and installed it today. Works great. Be sure to pick the "Part" option to get the colors to match the action on the screen. This is a great option for us as we feed our TV with an ethernet cable. The camera sits at a 90 degree angle to the screen and I thought it a bit too obvious, but you quickly don't notice it when you're involved with a show. (I'll add that my wife chuckled at the cockroach/3M joke).

[@Natanel814]

What is "part" option?

[@ItzHarley]

Also you can put the camera at the bottom of the tv if you're using the old generation (if it's not wall mounted that is). And the lights are so good with animation movies!

[@gerryf7015]

Look for Nano tape instead of cellotape and Blue-tac. Its a non permanent tape. Also great for sensors when you are testing for optimum location.

[@Richie5903]

You failed to mention whether this works with all sizes of TVs or not .. the previous ( 1st gen ) only worked with I believe 49 inch TVs or bigger and was not able to be calibrated if you tried to use it with a 43 inch as the camera was not able to see the corners of the smaller TV

[@RetroBoxRoom]

If you could hint strongly to Govee that there are customers with smaller TVs would love this too, that would be great.

[@davidmcintier3744]

And LARGER as well, mine is 75"

[@joshbasset8098]

They have different sizes on their website

[@andybrice2711]

It'd be nice if TV OSes would build in this functionality, and just output a tiny image (like 16 × 16) of their display contents, over USB or the network.

Philips have had built in ambient lighting for years!

[@andybrice2711]

@ Yeah, but I want the raw data!

@@andybrice2711 the answer is for TVs to start adding an HDMI “monitor out”. Then any existing HDMI sync box can make use of the standardised signal.

[@andybrice2711]

​@ Yes. That could work. Like a "Video Return Channel". Except you'd still need an additional sync-box. And studios would inevitably insist it's heavily DRMed.

[@petebanham3742]

Paul, what settings (brightness saturation etc). did you use please? I have upgraded from the T1 and I can't seem to get the black scenes to not show red. :-(

[@MrGparrish]

Can the camera be mounted or positioned at the bottom of the TV? If there was several inches of clearance between the TV and the cabinet it's sitting on?

[@paulhibbert]

Sadly not 😔

[@andybrice2711]

They really should do this. It must be fairly easy just to rotate the image in software. And many people's TVs are on a table.

[@Nemesisakaphil]

What's it like compared to the Envisual T2?

[@meet.chintanmehta]

the top camera does it give any trouble - in terms of feels distracted OR keeps bothering in day or night view?

[@Chillmax]

Question - As a user of the 'real thing' from Philips for 20ish years, I'm a big fan, and have mostly Philips around the house. But, I still have a great old plasma from Panasonic which obviously doesn't have ambilight, so I'd love to add this. My TV is on a green wall, so does this have wall colour adaptation, or was it the bit in the video when the white balance is adjusted? I hope it's a yes, pretty good Black Friday deal on this today ;-) Thanks.

[@cindycalixcalixmeza6508]

I got the hue Philips string lights from Best Buy 8 months ago ever since I’ve had so many issues with it. Thinking of switching out to this brand but I’m afraid it will come out like the Best Buy one. On the video are saying to NOT buy the sync box or yes to buy it ? Because with the Best Buy one I had to buy the sync box and stripped lights and a bridge and another light bar so much.

[@baxta]

Probably a silly question but could you put the camera underneath the TV. I would have thought this would be a lot less noticable, especially if your using a stand.

[@dmo848]

Yeah it works better but then flip the pic in the settings

[@jonnfrankcoizvillafranca3296]

⁠@@dmo848how do you actually flip the pic in the setting?

[@pixelated-pain]

I just want to say putting the clear tape on it is genius I am going to put this on a $1,800 gaming monitor and was skeptical about the 3m glue and this man saved me from my worries.

[@skyvixen]

After watching loads (and I mean loads) of your videos over the past few months I finally bit the bullet and bought the govee T1 this last weekend so I could dip my toe in the immersive light ocean - plus it was only £41 on Amazon so....bargain! So after only 2 days I only have 1 thing to say - OH MY GOD, Im never going back to the boring way of watching TV ever again. In fact we love it so much in our house we are looking at "upgrading" all the TV's in the house - might need to look at the T2/T3 options after watching this video though. Thanks for making these videos - fun, entertaining and informative - perfection really 🙂

[@paulhibbert]

I love everything about this comment ❤️ thanks for telling me man

[@Narry___]

Why compare this T3 lite vs the T1 and not the T2?, could be because the T2 is pricier (67€ vs 99€), have double leds and 2 lens in 1 camera to cover better the tv, althought it does not have the automatic turn off functionality, for me this product, remember it has Lite in it's name, seems as the entry level and the t2 and I suppose next iterations for more advance users as in Govees light strips, they have the BT only 30 leds/m, the wifi and BT 30 leds/m, the wifi 60 leds/m with protection, all this for interior, I think this is the same for the tv lights, they make two categories

[@rgrissom1]

Do you prefer this over the Govee hdmi sync box? I would be using with Nividia shield . Also can you mix hue and Govee lights together with Alexa? Any help would be much appreciated

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

End of the video he talks about it

[@stuartdavison289]

Checked the link and am I getting the right thing, it looks like it's £149 reduced to £89. Am i looking for something less than £75? Sorry if i am being daft.

[@kwanizac]

Is the t2 better though?

[@lvevan]

I have a similar backlight and I recommend adding an additional cheap white backlight strip to the tv. I find that when the backlight turns off during a dark scene it is distracting. The effects are certainly more subtle with the extra light but it makes everyday usage so much better and you can always turn off the extra light strip when you want the full immersion.

[@jaspeis]

Do you need to have a white walls for this to work? I have dark grey wallpaper behind my TV.

[@Freeway7]

I understand this is the TV 3 lite and you compaired this to the T1 BUT I have the T2 Install .... so Should i Upgrade to this one insteed ?

[@Matt8Nicholls]

Am I missing something? I can’t see this model available for 75” TV. But was installed on one in the video? Does the 55-65” still work?

[@Mar.M88]

Hello! I bought T1 year ago. I didn't realise that camera doesn't match OLED TV... Now I'm thinking about buying T3. Is it worth to change T1?

[@markarlie7644]

Question... T2 or t3 lite ?.. whats the main differences??... please 😊

[@TheFilmFanEsco]

I believe I can answer this. More LEDS bulbs in the T2 600 vs 200 or so I believe.

[@jaimejuarez2141]

Hi there, can you share your app settings please? I must be doing something wrong cause the colors are not that close to what they should. Only thing I can think of is when doing the calibration I could barely see the top left and right orange dots (even after moving the camera). So here I am thinking if I mirror your app settings I may get better results. Thanks in advance

[@SneezingEagle]

Am I correct in thinking this camera can't be mounted under the TV? I'm looking at this product or the T2 and leaning more for the T2 as the camera can be located at the bottom of the TV

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

The color accuracy thing, it seems blue sky is an issue and always displays as purple. Have you found this to be the case?

[@chozey5489]

The T3 is 24V how do you connect it to your 240v mains supply?

[@smegwitch]

Which option is better. The T2 or this the 3 Lite? Confused to which one to go with.

[@TornadoBarrage]

I mostly use my tv for gaming, should i get a sync box?

[@Thatannoyingvoicetoldyoutodoit]

Well done! You just scared the shit out of the cat with that Axl Rose /Family Guy sketch, I laughed so hard! 😂

[@lordmalice8368]

When it was said it is better than the last one, which one is that? The T1 or T2?

[@CH11LER.]

I made my own about a year ago. It was a nightmare getting hold of a Raspberry Pi 4 at the time, but I genuinely wouldn't live without it now. I have more LEDs per meter. Them ones look like 30ppm, I went for 60ppm myself. I use an esp32 connected to the strip with WLED installed, and that interfaces with the Raspberry Pi with HyperHDR installed on it. I then use an HDMI capture box and a spitter to take the signal going into the TV. Yes, I know it's rather technical compared to the Govee solution, and I understand some people just wouldn't be arsed with it. For me, I just love the rewarding feeling I get from knowing I did it myself.

[@Legzakimbo2002]

Nice! I had a Lytmi sync box which was kind of an off the shelf equivalent. It was ace!

Do you have plans or could you point me to to a self build link please? It's going to be a long winter and I need a project! 🫤

[@COD_Dory]

⁠​⁠@@paulhibbert I’m tempted by the lytmi fantasy 3. It looks amazing and has ai to work out scenes from audio without hdmi for built in tv apps etc. hdmi 2.1 4k120hz looks great although quite expensive. I do like the Govee but don’t like a camera stuck to the top of the tv lol

[@didjeri]

Dude! If you could create a video, detailing your setup (kind of idiot proof), and how to get it running, I'd be ready to pay some amount of money. That's the kind of setup I'm looking for. I'm not joking btw! I'm just not smart enough to figure this out on my own from scratch.

[@barrytresadern9224]

Do they have a hdmi sync box option? I couldn’t put up with that camera arm. Don’t really think the future hdmi capability is a big deal, after all the TV itself has the same problem?

[@paulhibbert]

Check out lytmi if you’re looking for a hdmi sync box, really cool

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@paulhibbert Govee does have an HDMI sync box but it's not meant for TV and somehow only monitors? I never understood that. Paul, with your connection to Govee, that might be a good question to ask them.

[@nicholasfaithful7708]

Great review, thank you. The colour delay really bothers me...and who really watches TV directly these days? Viewing is almost always done via fire sticks, consoles, apps or external boxes like Virgin or Sky. However, if you've got Sky Glass, a camera-mounted system like this one could be a great alternative to sync boxes. Personally, after researching similar products, I find FancyLEDs to be the most reactive, and that's the level of accuracy I'm looking for. They also offer products that can sync via an app to enhance the ambiance in the room. I'd love to hear your opinion on this brand, in comparison to Govee

[@bgoryan]

So my tv is a 70”. So do I get the 55-65 or 75-85? I can’t really seem to find any answers.

Why did you not say about T2 you said T1 and 3 but no T2 with dual cameras witch is better T2 or 3 now ???

[@SidLuther]

How does this compare to the dual camera system Govee sell?

[@Peechaable]

Badly. This is just T1.5. It can't match the T2 dual camera system. The strip on the T2 have double the led amount, and that alone makes huge difference.

[@slinkeysaucer9208]

Hello, would this work on a pull out tv? One that is on a stand and comes away from the wall? Im worried that the colours wont look as great if the tv is away from the wall

[@100ryanfraser]

How does this compare to the T1? I have it and been struggling to get it to accurately show the colours on every area of the bottom corners. I've also messed around with the colour balance and saturation settings a lot but constantly feel it's not quite right

[@MartynSmith]

So if I buy a govee backlight, I can put it around things and will make things look bigger? Is there a risk of electric shock? Great video - good to know the good and the bad!

[@SlackerLabs]

How does it compare to the v1 in dealing with the ambient light in the room?

[@rolandrohde]

Great Video as usual... Just a quick question...is this the "Govee TV 3 Lite"? That appears to be the only thing that pops up if I search on Amazon in Germany for a 3rd Generation and it confused me a bit since "Lite" seems to indicate some kind of entry level budget thingy...

It is indeed the 3 Lite. I’m assuming there will soon be a 3 “full fat” bringing the 3rd gen features of the lite and the extras the T2 has (dual lens, double the LED density etc).

[@rolandrohde]

@ Thanks. I read up on it, and sadly it's only for TVs up to 65" so not for me unfortunately.

@@rolandrohde I think they will add a larger TV version to the Lite soon. But if you wait a bit longer you will be able to get the 3 Pro or whatever they call it. They are clearly creating 2 tiers of this product line for entry level and high end users.

[@thecyberhobbit]

Another pretty big CON of the Camera vs HDMI sync is aspect ratio. If you watch nothing but 16:9 on your 16:9 screen it's all good. But if you watch some movies that have a much wider aspect ratio, you end up with black bars on your screen and the camera doesn't know how to handle that because it sees black on the top and bottom. HDMI sync analyzes the video signal before it's ever output to a screen so you won't have that issue.

[@stwlaidler]

So the justice league Snyder cut is out of the question 🤣

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@stwlaidler correct

The Govee 3 covered in this video has “black bar elimination for precise color extraction from screen edges” according to the press release - most of the reviews coming out mention it. Although it’s not mentioned on the Govee product pages.

[@paulhibbert]

In honesty, you’d have to ask Govee that. I I haven’t looked at their backlight kits for a while so didn’t know the T2 existed, they asked for a comparison to the T1, and it wasn’t until the comments started coming in that I realised there was a T2 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Fahrenheit38]

Thinking of buying a lite 3 to see if i like the effect before dropping big coin on a 2.1 box

[@joerichmond4624]

So I bought this some time ago and have never been happy with it. If I set it to a single color it is blindingly bright but when I switch to video it's like it goes into half brightness and if it's a dark scene it looks like it goes off completely. And don't get me started on the fact that I have to have all lights off in the room for video mode to do anything other than "bland yellow". I've been through all settings multiple times and never found a fix. Could I have done something wrong during calibrations?

[@Gamevideoswatching-bn4rx]

Not sure, but if you can't get it to work like others show in their videos (even with lights on), then it's worth recalibrating. You can try changing other variables too that you haven't looked at.

Loved the musical accompaniment to the on/off segment. I usually don't laugh at musical accompaniment, but I did this time. I do like that it works with a whole slew of smart-home platforms, including Home Assistant(!) The only problem is that I'm just not in the demographic for this product, though my daughter might be for those times when she has friends over for video games. It clearly adds some zing to the normal presentation. Once again, Govee shows that you shouldn't have to spend huge amounts of cash to get excellent results. Thanks once again for the "what's wrong with it section." It's really helpful and it's also what sets your reviews ahead of the others. Thanks also for a great and entertaining review.

Whoa! Hang on a minute... So much to discuss about this video, more so if anyone here is a new viewer of Paul's productions. Maybe it's just me, but did anyone detect a difference in this production? A more aloof manner in the way things are presented, and the subtle words and storytelling done in the way that a potential politician might use? Yes! I think Paul's working on becoming an independent political candidate, and we are seeing this subtle change happening in front of us. Now, the story of Paul giving his father-in-law a 3 Grand TV... now, technically that is true, but a newcomer to this channel would be unaware that this TV was given to the father-in-law as a payment for forcing his daughter to marry Paul! Now, politicians do this thing all the time, and this subtle hidden backstory not being presented just confirmed that to me! Not only that, Paul upset the Twitteratte with his disgusting habit of putting the toilet roll on the hanger the wrong way around!! I mean, some things you can overlook, but never such a disgusting thing as this! Now, in thinking about it, it's possible that his bought and paid-for wife may be doing this as a way of sending a message to the outside world to save her!!!! Heck, this story is getting wild... potential politician pays for a child bride who wants to be rescued by subtle coded messages! Heck! Why waste this story here!!
