Here’s BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes on this light system: “My boyfriend recently surprised me by upgrading my TV setup with this backlight, and I’ve been so impressed with its performance already, especially when watching movies or playing video games. It’s important to follow the instructions closely to ensure the color-matching looks correct (and Govee has a great instructional video on this), but we had no issues. The setup includes light strips that go around the back of your TV and a camera that subtly hangs over your TV at the top, which might seem weird at first, but it doesn’t cover your screen at all and you forget it’s there in no time.
The VIBES are simply unmatched whenever this backlight is turned on. One of the first things we put on to test it was Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour on Disney Plus, and it really lived up to the promise of immersion, extending out all of the incredible lighting production almost like it was happening in my living room. I posted a clip of it on my Instagram Stories and had one person message me, “Wow, it’s like you’re at the show.” It really was (and I didn’t even have to drop $300+ for the experience).
I have several other Govee products (and this backlight incorporates with them all seamlessly via the Govee app), but this is easily my favorite piece of lighting I’ve bought from them yet. As a night owl myself, I highly recommend it for anyone who spends much of their evening hours parked in front of the TV!”
Promising review: “I got this hoping I could improve my experience watching movies at home, and let me tell you,… I love love loveeee the magic it creates. Movies, YouTube, Netflix,… it just makes the show and the scenes so much more impactful. The colors are perfection, and they sync quite beautifully to the images on the screen. It does take a bit to set up, but it’s worth it. I love it so much. Love, love, love! And the colors are even more gorgeous at night btw 😂 get it!” —Elle
