No hdmi 2.1 is terrible. Should’ve mentioned that off rip cause it’s a deal breaker for me and probably others too

[@nubPWNZ]

For sure 100%

[@phantasticmrphasma9874]

And either way, for some things (like fast paced competitive gaming), having a middle man device that processes the HDMI signal before sending it to the tv, is surely not ideal? For things like movies or casual games it actually looks pretty cool though! And i’m not a fan of rear screen lighting, i think its a distraction, but this being completely relative to the onscreen colour, actually makes sense. I like it

Great product! However the omission of HDMI 2.1 is a definite no go. If I payed extra for an 85” OLED TV that goes up to 120Hz I’m not gonna just use it at 60Hz. not to mention the fact that it will outright not support 8K for any future upgrades.

Id only consider this if it was HDMI 2.1 and unfortunately it seems all major players in the synced TV backlight game are lacking. I can slightly forgive philips considering their sync box is just old, even though they are still selling it at full price, but I just don't understand why these brands are so far behind with catching up to hdmi 2.1, especially newer entries to the game. Think ill be sticking to my philios sync box a while longer by the looks of it.

[@lewirock6995]

For those complaning about no HDMI 2.1, you can simply buy an HDMI 2.1 splitter and enjoy the best of both worlds with this

[@IslandLife]

Exactly! I did this right off the hop and couldn't figure out why literally NO ONE anywhere has mentioned this. I dont even have 4k currently but everything is all strapped to my sim rig, and I didnt want to cut all the straps and rewire it all to add the sync box, so a splitter st the xbox was a simple solution, but I quickly realized this would be a 4k work around for those wanting/needing it.

[@johnathansmith1003]

I had this, the lag in fast paced games was distracting, if it was faster it would be SO MUCH BETTER!

[@TRX25EX]

I think best use case will be all HDMIs to Audio Amplifier and one HDMI out to Sync box then to TV, that way you get at least max audio capabilities than compromising both audio and video..... My main issue with these boxes is I usually use Android TV from Sony, I don't think there's a way to make Sync box work using TV own apps, so a separate android TV device need to be bought

[@GeekStreet]

Yeah unfortunately there's no way of making this work with inbuilt apps.

[@vinct7023]

yes typically I do sue an Nvidia Shield to sue Android apps, simply because my TCL TV is a bit "old" and its Android apps is very slow due to average electronics while Nvidia (or TV Cube) are super fast).

[@vinct7023]

@@GeekStreet Thanks for your asnwer. I did asked the very same question to Govee Support. There answer today is: "They both are Dreamview backlight that cannot work together".... I am speechless. Both equipments are working together today with T1 version :(Govee RGBIC TV Light Bars + Govee DreamView T1 TV Backlight) ... Very strange indeed. It does not really matter for TV leds because they are delivered with the box... except they wont have the required length for large TV. Mine is a TCL 75' on which I used a 65' T1 kit. Working pretty well but I am not satisfied with the result in terms of color change. At least the T1 model does not provide the right color change we can see with dedicated box or even T2 version. Conclusion: I will wait for an upgrade of the current box. At 200€ with no guarantee working with T1 leds, I pass.

[@123benley]

The t1 at least somewhat works with terrestrial tv via camera showing LEDs to try to match what's on screen other wise for gaming a HDMI 2.1 version like fancy LEDs has coming out would be great for games or fire stick via HDMI input but won't work for TV or inbuilt apps as they don't input via HDMI

I've recently bought one, but i use the provided wall mount on it, so the darker part of the TV (where you apply the leds) is flush on the wall. So, my question is, is it possible to apply the leds on the light grey part of the tv, or it wouldn't be safe for the screen (maybe due to the leds warming a bit and damaging the screen)? Thank you in advance, and keep up the good work. PS: If it's safe, i will also wait for the 2.1 hdmi box 👍
