Very good demonstration. Loving the way you're explaining everything about it. I'm about to order them now! Thx!!!

[@baronvonderg]

OH wooooooww this looks fantastic! And a heck of a lot easier to set up over other competitors and existing products!

[@QsPhilosophy]

I bought a 5m RGBIC strip for my desk and a simple TV strip from Govee and I really like the quality of them and the app. You are right, the app is the perfect blend of plug-and-play with advanced settings. I will definitely be checking out this product from them. Super underrated in the RGB LED space.

[@thecyberhobbit]

the day Govee comes out with something that directly picks colors off an hdmi signal Phillips is in trouble. These are a great alternative to the Corsair LT100s

[@matthewungar2138]

Something we’re definitely looking into 😉 Positives and negatives to both, but it’s in consideration. Thanks for the feedback.

[@thecyberhobbit]

@@matthewungar2138 Although I do have one of the Govee cameras, I'm not the biggest fan of seeing the actual camera sticking out, so an HDMI sync box like Phillips would be an instant buy for me so I can have everything be 100% Govee :D Right now it's the only thing I still prefer Phillips to do.

[@HoodRed69]

@@matthewungar2138 are you the govee

[@RionPhotography]

Nah Govee is a different type of market - namely those that don’t want to pay for premium products. I’ve owned several Govee products and they are not at the same level of functionality or quality as Hue.

Seriously amazed how your content is just getting better and better and better!

[@Detilly]

You should set the saturation at minimum for a more realistic light effect. The colors will be more accurate.

[@BrxndonBandz]

same exact monitor as me, i was worried since mine was curved i didn’t wanna buy something that wouldn’t work, tysm!

@@DavidFerreira1986es but the quality you will get is garbage, I’ve bought cheap smart lights before and they tend to break after a year or not work at all, plus these lights change color depending on what’s on screen which not many others have done except for Philips which are expensive

[@XLR8bg]

I got one of those for my 55" LG OLED in the living room as I wanted to use the built-in apps and Govee appears to be best at this camera approach... it's still not great. I've been tweaking it for ages and optimised the setup so reflections don't mess up the colours it sees, but even at its best it occasionally gets the colours wrong and the delay is way too long. Even if you don't watch fast action stuff, just the change of a camera in a scene can cause big difference in the background and the lights' delay is very obvious.

[@thegreenone5359]

Bro your 40+ talking like this?

[@camcar7373]

What speakers are those if you don't mind me asking. Great review 👏

[@dannyvillarreal918]

I wonder how secure the camera is? Im not really worried about the govee camera on my TV but a lot more personal info could be seen on a computer. I know some wifi products have had issues like this but non of them have a cameras made to point at your computer screen.

[@DadLifeGaming]

Looks like a great product but I have to agree with you there are certain scenarios that it seems to be confused as to what color to display. Other than that everything else seems to function very well.

[@gregoriomonsalve6284]

I congratulate you on your video. Excellent presentation and very well explained, I have a question regarding your monitor? Is it flat or curved? I have a 34-inch curved Samsung and I would like to know if I can use the light bars without any problem. Thank you

[@shbd1701]

Nice video and the content of your channel is one of my favorites. Please can you tell me the name of the sound system in this setup !

[@aiyaz379]

The filming is on point OMG!!!!!!!!!

[@CiBi1968]

I think if they included Light bars with an adjustable stand so that you could get them in line with the centre of the sides of the screen then you would get a better overall effect .

[@flipboi952]

Govee is killing it. Especially when it comes to quality of product and pricing.

[@Durzza]

I Recently ordered the govee light strips and the wall mounted light things they are excellent i didn't get Philips because of price unfortunately and didn't expect anything crazy but i was surprised to see excellent illumination quality. and lack of hardware heat generation. if anyone was shopping and wanted a little review

[@HMicahA]

I saw in the thumbnail how you put your speakers on their side instead of upright on the stand, I might try that to save vertical space!

[@nivektek2681]

Nice Setup..What is the brand of the speakers please?🙂

[@JeanCastro456]

[@enemanumber1610]

what are those speakers on your desk?

[@Aggie1295]

Is this just for computer monitors or do they have a version that works with big screen TVs? Will this work with ultrawide monitors? They need to make a version that fits larger screens. The other problem with using this on a PC is that this camera is in the spot where my webcam now sits.

[@HiSpecs]

Can you PLEASE do a step by step water cooled build in the Y60 I want that exact build, but I’ve never done water cooled. I’m kind of scared so, I really need your help here 😅

[@3v1lmind]

Hue lights are better in quality though and much easier to set up so yeah i will stay with them!On the other hand i loved your presentation, on point and with a great voice! well done!

Keeping the hue lights.. plug and play and seems like a better quality.

[@IsThatSpaceCowBoy]

I already have the tv immersion kit set up with the camera and everything why not just an adapter for my control box to plug in these lights to my existing unit/set up

[@kelvinquezada6801]

Great content as usual. What camera and settings are you guys using? I get horrible banding/flicker when filming with Philips Hue RGB bulbs. I use Sony cameras at 24p (1/50 shutter) and 30p (1/60). I wonder if Govee products are just better for filming.

[@paulhibbert]

Hey man, I suffered this for years before I realised; you need to go into your cameras menu and switch it from PAL to NTSC, or vice versa any time you get flickering. PAL is 25 frames a second, and NTSC is 30 frames a second. By adjusting between the two you will get away from the refresh rate of the light being incompatible with the refresh rate of your camera, you'll notice your shutter speed options are different numbers when you make the switch. I wasted hours adjusting the shutter speed of my camera and every other setting I could find before finally stumbling on this. Hope it helps! -P

[@MAD_D9]

I have question can I use more then one led strip in the back because my monitor is largeer of (21:9) it is (32:9) like odyssey neo g9

[@cinematographytrev]

Could you use these on a 43” Tv as their govee immersion kits are for TVs larger than 43”

[@nas1887]

U ever find out

[@IonutE]

Hello, What speakers are you using ? Thanks.

[@360Fov]

I have the Corsair RGB kit, which consists of 4 strips, 2 long, 2 short....they're made of a thick rubbery material, and they're naturally bendy... and they retain a natural bend (they're not straight, in other words). This makes "mounting" them using the provided adhesive+hook solution is just terrible. It's a shame because they work with iCue software, so they can react to colours on screen, or system temperatures, or anything you like really.... they carry a premium price tag ... this is all to say, they're just in a corner of a rooom not being used because they aren't especially bright, and they fall of the back of the monitor with the slightest move. I'm gonna go ahead and order this Govee kit now.... give it a try for 30 days, but judging by this video, just wow! These look great. Just a shame they won't respond to on-screen colours, but that's probably asking a lot - they'd need software and drivers etc.. which is a whole other thing I Guess.

[@360Fov]

My mistake, turns out these do in fact respond to on-screen colours.... fantastic! Hell I might just stick the Corsair led strips to the side of the Govee stands for next level lighting 😂 If only LED strip lights could interface with these; they're so bright, even in a lit room, and obscenely cheap - they'd be the best ambient lighting tbh!

[@FTM1fenn]

Is it only the camera that needs to be connected to audio? I have just bought this and the wall glide and hoping the the latta joins up with the G1 through the app

[@brandondelesparra6827]

My monitor is 23.8 inches and the product is made for 24-32 inch monitors, do you think if the strip overlaps by a few inches the effect of the strips won’t work or it should be fine?

[@TAKprod]

Worth noting that Govee updated a lot of their app controls, and the color matching issues can be easily synced better by carefully adjusting the red/blue balance and the saturation. I think these are worth the investment, as they’ve been updating their products to function better left and right lately.

[@XLR8bg]

It's still a very wonky solution. I can play around and get it right for when there is daylight, but then I want to watch a movie at night with almost no ambient light and I have to go and play around with the settings again... till the next day, when I want to use them before the sun has set. It's a never ending and annoying cycle. They need to find a way to automatically compensate for the ambient light.

[@khajitt]

@@XLR8bg easiest solution is to be able to create presets that you can easily switch depending on your current ambient light. More sophisticated solution would be allowing govee app to access phone camera to view the ambient light around your room and calibrate based on input from your phone camera

Dumb question, will this act as a new "hub" for DreamView?

I got the kit but entirely ditched the camera. Running everything through a USB hub directly into my PC and paired it with SignalRGB. Much more cohesive experience and way better audio reactivity while being significantly more plug and play with specific game integrated effects as well.

Exactly what I am considering doing. For all it's quirks and bugs, SignalRGB is pretty damned awesome once you get used to it and learn how to work with the layouts.

The only thing I don't get is why no company has come out with a product like this that can sync up an extended lighting experience through just software. I love these things, but I can't get past the addition of even more wires to my setup and the eyesore of a dongle pointed at the monitor. If something simply ran as a separate capture software, such as Shadowplay, I think this entire thing could be accomplished without the sensor.
