Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite 5m for 75-85 Inch TVs

Govee makes good stuff. It’s in the mid range price wise, but having cheaper backlights these make it worthwhile. Installation is not too hard but a bit fiddly for some. The instructions are very good but this isn’t just a stick it on scenario. There are a few steps to install and calibrate but the app is excellent and talks you through it all. Once calibrated and set up, you can just let it do its thing. The app is for minute settings which most won’t worry about. Govee apps are always excellent. The effect is just amazing to see. You really have to experience it. Some wonder if it’s off putting. It’s not, it just blends in to the TV screen. What isn’t mentioned is it doesn’t just copy the colour on the edge. It’s AI decides the best surround colours. A snow scene with some greenery, it’ll create a full crisp surround colour with a spot of green. A desert scene, it creates a full surround of orange and yellows. In other words, it makes the surround match the whole scene, not simply copy the edges. In some scenes? If it’s a forest with an orange sky, it will create extended edges of green and blend into the blue and orange of the sky. In less detailed scenes, it works it out and the results are beautiful. Again you have to see it. One tiny critique is for wall mounts the box will be behind the TV so for very flat, flush finishes you may need to think about it. You could have the box outside the TV frame, but you would need longer USB extensions. BUT as it connects to WiFi and has an app, you won’t need to touch the box after pairing and it can be hidden.

A bit fiddly setting up. But that’s probably because the smallest size they do is for a 32 inch monitor but mine is a 27 inch but still managed to fit. Calibration could be easier and the camera is not the best fit but that is because my monitor is a funny shape at the back and not flat. So all in all I’m happy for the price and makes a big difference playing on the ps5

Pretty good - I picked this up at a discounted price, just post-christmas after buying a new TV. I had the T2 version with 2 cameras on my previous TV (which was very good). The T3 lite is good, but not quite as good as the T2 in my view. Where the T2 had 2 cameras as opposed to the 1 fisheye on this one, it also had more LEDs (60 as opposed to 30 on this). As a result, the T2 had longer, nearly continuous LEDs all around the back of the tv with minor gaps between sections, on this, there are distinctive left,top, right bottom strips with larger gaps between them, so, not all of my (65" is lit). Also, the leds appear to be in "blocks" of colour, similar to the rgbic strip, rather than behaving independently as on the T2. I don't believe the fisheye camera is as accurate as the twin cameras on the t2, but it looks a little neater, I suppose I think that the above makes for a less accurate experience than the t2 but it still looks good, especially if you set it up as a hub and sync it with other Govee lights (I have the RGBIC+ strips). Connectivity was quite easy - once set up, the govee app spotted it and I was able to add it- alexa also spotted it, however my old T2 was set up as a hub/gateway in order to control other lights so I had to switch that back on to remove it so that I could set the T3 up to do the same thing. Control/config is done via the all encompassing Govee App and quite easy if you know what you're doing. Once added, you can use your voice assistant, and I believe that this one is also Matter compatible. In terms of physical installation onto the TV, each section is 3M self adhesive and it comes with extra clips to hold the corners in place. Even so, it's still starting to come unstuck on one of the corners, which is a little annoying. I have extra clips from another LED strip. so might employ one of those to see if it holds it. The camera perches/balances on top of the TV with a counterweight at the back (there is a sticky pad included, but didn't seem to want to stick to any part of the camera bracket. A wire from the camera then goes down the back of the TV to the control box (which needs to be powered with the bespoke power adaptor). The control box can also be stuck to the TV but mine just sits on the TV unit as the cable is just long enough. Given the price I paid, I'm happy, but I have learned since that there is a non-lite version of the V3 being released which will be better - and more expensive! I'd

Extremely happy with this purchase. Bought these lights for a bit of fun and to brighten up the alcove that my tv stands in. At first I was a little bit sceptical about having a camera on top of my tv but in all honesty I don’t really notice it.. The equipment is a little fiddly to set up but if you take your time and plan it out first then you should have no problems. Once everything is attached to the tv my advice would be pop on utube on your tv to calibrate the camera and do your colour calibration. As everything is explained better than with the instructions in the box. The app works well but can be a little confusing at first but again once you get into it it’s pretty good. So overall very happy and it’s a little bit of extra fun while watching tv..

If you are looking to turn an ordinary living room television into a fully immersive, theatre-like experience, the Govee TV Backlight 3 Lite is an absolute masterclass in ambient lighting. While older camera-based backlights often struggled with accuracy and washed-out tones, this upgraded model completely fixes those pain points. It tracks your screen with incredible speed and accuracy, bringing movies, gaming sessions, and live sports right out into the room. ​Why this smart backlight system gets a solid 5 stars: ​Game-Changing Fish-Eye Correction: The standout feature here is the upgraded lens technology. Standard camera backlights often suffer from edge distortion, causing the LEDs to misinterpret colours at the far corners of the screen. Govee's brilliant fish-eye correction function rectifies this completely, flattening the camera's view so that the ambient light matches what's actually on your screen with pinpoint precision. ​Vibrant RGBICW 4-in-1 Lamp Beads: The brightness and colour depth of this 3.6m strip are phenomenal. By adding a dedicated white chip to the traditional red, green, and blue (RGBICW), the colours look incredibly rich, deep, and true to life. Pastel tones, bright explosions, and deep moody shadows are projected onto the wall behind your TV beautifully without looking artificial. ​Blazing Fast Screen Sync: There is virtually zero noticeable lag between the action happening on the screen and the light reacting on the wall. Whether you’re racing at 60fps on a console or watching a fast-paced action sequence, the seamless transition of light prevents any distracting delays and makes the screen feel twice as large. ​Significantly Reduces Eye Strain: Watching a bright television in a pitch-black room is a fast track to headaches and fatigue. By providing an automatic, responsive bias light behind the screen, this kit significantly softens the contrast for your eyes. It makes late-night viewing and long gaming marathons vastly more comfortable. ​Flawless App & Voice Control: The Govee Home app is incredibly robust, allowing you to fine-tune the calibration, adjust saturation, or switch to smooth music-sync modes for parties. It also integrates effortlessly with Alexa and Google Assistant, meaning you can dim the room and fire up the cinema vibes with a quick voice command. ​Neat, Low-Profile Hardware: The camera mount is slim and sits incredibly securely on top of 55-65 inch panels without obstructing the screen or looking like an eyesore in the lounge. The strip itself cuts to length neatly and features heavy-duty adhesive that won't peel off under the natural heat of the television panel. ​Final Verdict: This is easily the most cost-effective way to get high-end, responsive ambient lighting without paying the extortionate premium of a native sync-box system. The fish-eye correction elevates the colour tracking to a professional level, and the RGBICW beads provide unmatched vibrance. If you want to give your home entertainment setup a massive wow-factor, this is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

I bought the 55”- 65” kit for my 55” TV however the LED strip that goes across the top was too long. I was going to return and get the 40”-50” one but that would be too short/not offering good coverage. So I had to create a loop to make it fit (which creates a slight shadow on the wall). The 3M sticky tape isn’t great but the overall quality of everything else is good. They give 10 clips to help creat extra security but 12 would be perfect and some fasteners to tie down the corner loops would have been great but none included. The set up isn’t rocket science but the app is confusing. I’m probably not getting the best results out of them but does the job. The camera response to colours is moderate don’t expect anything quick changing. The camera sticks out like a sore thumb and it’s hard not to notice it when viewing.

I got this for my 50” to i use for tv and gaming. Totally changes the experience of playing games or standard viewing. It’s really bright so I have it set at 30% brightness and looks amazing, especially leading into the winter, adds a new level to home viewing for sure. Would highly recommend

Bought this to complement a new HiSense TV we'd had to buy when our old Philips Ambilight TV broke down. Had seen reviews on YouTube and plenty of tech sites promoting/reviewing Govee products in a positive way. I enormously regret my purchase. This thing is flakier than a cereal factory. The install process is utterly broken. For a start the "quick start" guide lists steps in a different order to the manual and a different order again from the guide on the app. The installation process includes several details about just how precise you need to be when installing the light and the camera. So after taking all the necessary steps (including using a spirit level to check the camera angle) and after I'd stuck the packaged foam markers to the screen for calibration, I was disheartened to see that the calibration process is fully manual. The user is required to manually drag calibration markers to line up with the foam markers, but this is done through the worst interface I have ever seen, across a rubbish low-quality, grainy view top-down view of the TV. The calibration markers frequently placed themselves off the screen, meaning they could not be pulled back into place to line up. The app is inexplicably ~450mb. There is no reasonable explanation for this. It's fully double the size of the Hue app yet offers less than half the functionality. And yet it's required to be able to use these lights properly. It's slow, buggy and pretty hostile to users. The lights themselves are.... underwhelming for the price. They emit a pleasant enough light and can get bright but if you're expecting an adapting colour effect along the lines of what Ambilight offers then sadly this is not the product for you. When you actually find the "follow video" setting in the app, it seems that the best the lights can offer is to apply a general light tone behind the TV. Where Ambilight accurately (and quickly) uses light to "extend" the picture out behind your TV, these lights instead use the carefully-calibrated camera to.... make a rough and very slow estimate of whether the screen is mostly green/red/blue etc. I've tried as many different settings as I can, I've messed with the colour contrast and brightness settings, I've enabled "game" mode in the hope that performance would improve. Nothing helped. To top it all off, unlike any other cheap RGB light strip, these won't even power via the TV USB. You have to have a dedicated 240v plug socket for them. This means that the lights won't even power up with the TV. You have to either reach behind the set to find the button on the control box or you have to fire up the awful app. I will say that the 3M sticky material used is far better quality than I've seen on cheaper lights. But sadly this also means that I can't claim a refund because the lights have now fully bonded to the plastic on the back of the TV and I can't remove them. Absolutely not fit for purpose, avoid at all costs. I'd have been better-placed buying a cheap set of basic RGB lights from B&M

La Govee TV 3 Lite est une très bonne évolution des précédents modèles. L’installation est simple grâce à l’application Govee, qui guide le placement de la caméra et le calibrage de l’écran étape par étape. La synchronisation des couleurs est rapide et précise. La correction Fisheye améliore nettement la détection des bords de l’écran, ce qui rend les effets lumineux plus fidèles au contenu affiché. Le résultat est très immersif, aussi bien pour les films que pour les jeux vidéo. Les LED RGBICW 4-en-1 offrent des couleurs vives, des dégradés fluides et un blanc plus naturel que sur les anciens modèles. L’application propose de nombreux effets, des réglages de luminosité et des scènes personnalisables. La compatibilité avec Alexa permet également un contrôle vocal pratique. Les points forts * Synchronisation des couleurs très réactive. * Correction Fisheye efficace. * Couleurs lumineuses et homogènes. * Application Govee complète et facile à utiliser. * Compatible Alexa et Google Assistant. Petit bémol La caméra reste visible sur le dessus du téléviseur et le calibrage demande un peu de soin pour obtenir le meilleur résultat. Verdict : une excellente solution d’éclairage d’ambiance qui apporte un vrai plus à l’expérience TV, que ce soit pour le gaming, les films ou les séries.

Amazing product that transforms your tv!! it adds a whole new dimension!!

Great product, easy to install and set up. Works perfect and gives great light reaction.

Does what is says on the tin, the camera does stick out. Calibration took some time and accuracy is ok but not brilliant.

The included cable clips aren’t very effective. I’d recommend buying four to six extra cable clips to make installation much easier. Other than that, it adds a whole new level of enjoyment to watching TV and syncs well with other Govee products through the app. Really happy with the overall effect!
