Govee DreamView P1 Light Bars review: movie/TV, music, ambience - Philips Hue Light Bars alternative

Unbiased review! I bought these myself as I do most of my products. I'm in love with these, it has taken my TV and music party experiences to the next level! I wanted to get the Philips Hues a few years back but then it really adds up, at 1/3 the price of the Philips Hues, this is a steal! Here is my unbiased review, not sponsored or anything. Just giving you all the good and bad, the truth.
Encanto was also amazing to watch with these.
Also, I just realized the lights don't just extend the TV screens but they actually kind of immerse you into it, as in you feel like you're in that space since it lights yours up with the colors on the screen. 🤯
Used to be named Govee Flow Bars

Have you considered getting the Philips Hues but then got turned off by its price? Are you considering these Govee Flow Bar Pros? If you have them, how are you liking? What movie/show suggestions do you have (feel free to enter your settings too)

[@questionablysam]

Great review! I believe the IC in RBGIC stands for integrated circuit, and refers to the fact that the driver for each of the LEDs is embedded within the RBG LED. This way there is no required external driver for each of the LEDs which means you can have individual/multiple colourings across the strip.

Ahhh I remember finding the breakdown of the letters one time somewhere and was unable to find it again at the time of the review?

[@B4sou3l3]

Thanks for the review and incidentally making me discover Arcane, OMG this show is good and well made. Thanks again!

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

I'm watching Encanto right now and it's awesome with the lights

[@HonestHans365]

Thanks for the review. I have seen a great deal on these but am struggling to find a reason to buy them over other ambient lighting products by Govee.

[@wilsonw6114]

Thanks for sharing with your real thoughts, way better than those openbox and demo only. Also agree with most of your thoughts: to support future upgrade, flexible segments control, good to see Govee keeping adding features, etc. :) Currently looking for some convenient/portable Govee to provide ambient light for entire room when listening music, but seems these light bars are way small for workstation only, seems Lyra is a good choice.

Thinking about buying these for my computer monitor. You say you would buy the immersion kit to make it more future proof but they only support TVs/monitors from 55-65 inches. Any idea why this is? It is the same bars but then also with an extra lightstrip. Maybe it is because of the extra light coming from the strip which could interfere with the camera? Great video keep it up!

[@erinvisscher1265]

Any comment? :) Know you are busy

[@jeremyevans5132]

Yes now I can watch Scooby doo in different ways.

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

If you do, feel free to come back and let us know how it was!

[@ZionMarleyPR]

Just got these and don’t have the segmented view option. Is that something they rolled back?

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

I'm I still have it on mine, maybe you need to update

[@espltdkh202]

how do you fix the wifi can't connect problem

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

Honestly I couldn't tell you, whenever it happened eventually it would work
