Don’t waste time and money with the off brands buy the real deal.
What a creative way to watch tv, play games or watch movies. The length covers the entire TV, colors are amazing. There is a simple app the makes it so easy to use, change colors add custom designs. The options are unlimited and if you need help create the best experience but not sure what colors they have a community that’s done it, search your favorite sports team and have the colors of your team its so awesome to see.
The functionality is endless. app is very easy to navigate, I have had mine installed for over a year now and the adhesive quality is something I never seen before. They have been removed from one Tv to my current one and not a single issue they just stick and don’t come off unless you want them to.
I know you can find off brands for a lot less money, but you are not getting these immersive colors and brightness. I have tried multiple others trying to save money, in the end i spent more rebuying and reinstalling. Then still ended up buying the real thing. Do yourself a favor and just buy these instead of the cheap ones, those wont last only half the side of the tv works after a few weeks. The adhesive is either not sticking from the start, or within a week or 2 they will fall off. And they are just not bright, unless you see in person you just can’t get a picture to show the quality and brightness of these lights.

Awesome product!
Ok so I was skeptical at 1st with all the mixed reviews but I finally decided to give it a try. Let me start off by saying this you will have to do some set up in the settings as all tvs are different and to get the best experience it will take some time and patience. After about 30 minutes of moving the towers around and tweaking the settings I finally got it working right. I am very satisfied with it as it makes watching movie so awesome. Some colors don't match up perfectly but as in shades of colors. I definitely recommend this to anyone that wants to take movie nights to the next level.

Love, love, love!
The kit is easy to install and set up. The only installation note I have is of your TV is not perfectly flat on the backside you may need to get creative when attaching the rope lights. Our TV is a 55in Amazon fire TV and because the back slants a little we had to be very intentional about where we placed the clips but in the end everything worked out.
Functionally, these lights are great and the camera does a good job reading the screen, however, we do have a ceiling light directly above our TV and if it's on the camera reads the reflection of the light as a yellow color at the bottom of the screen. We tried recalibrating with the light on a few different times but it still gets picked up. Not a huge deal, if we're using the movie mode we just turn off the ceiling light and everything works great.

Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite: My Movie Nights Just Got a Whole Lot Cooler!
This Govee TV backlight kit is an absolute game-changer! I was looking for a way to enhance my TV viewing experience, and this definitely did the trick. The installation was super easy – just peel and stick the LED strips to the back of my TV, and I was good to go. The app is intuitive and gives you tons of control over the colors, brightness, and even music sync options.
What really blew me away was how much more immersive my movies and shows feel. The lights create this awesome ambient glow that extends the colors of the screen onto the wall behind the TV. It's like having my own personal home theater! Plus, it just makes the whole room look cooler.
I've also been using the music sync feature when I'm listening to tunes, and it's a total blast. The lights dance and change color to the beat of the music, creating a really fun and vibrant atmosphere.
Overall, I'm beyond impressed with the Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite. It's a fantastic product that's added a whole new dimension to my entertainment setup. If you're looking for a way to take your TV time to the next level, I highly recommend checking this out!
