Great lights!

So I plug them in expectantly with a white screen the lights show yellow! Me: ! So I calibrated it-and they work amazingly now!
So my monitor does have a large hump on the back-and Govee says that that is not good-but it doesn't seem to matter. My desk has a hutch on it, and I was afraid that it would hinder the camera, but I did some fiddling and got it working! See my picture below !. After about 10 min of calibration and recalibration, it was up and running. The little button on top doesn't actually click, it's kind of like a touch screen. The DIYs pop and are super smooth, as the rope has 3 lights per IC.
I enjoy the color it adds to my entertainment setup. I would give it 5 stars if the cords for the lights were longer or had a female usb type c on the lights themselves, so I could simply use a longer USB Type C cord. I had to order a USB Type C extention cord so I could run the cord through the wall behind my tv.
It works alright. I had not read anything saying it wouldn't work with non flat back monitors. So had to kinda “make it fit"Also the amount of times I mess with color correction and saturation and brightness to use it. Kinda makes it more of a hassle than I thought it would be. Overall it a okay item problem won't buy again until the tech is a little more advanced.
I actually got this light to fit onto my 34"monitor. Took a little finagling but I got it on ok. I really like how bright the colors are. I was looking for a monitor backlight cause it looks cool and I figured it would reduce some eye strain when gaming at night, and this fits the bill. I haven't tried out the gaming camera feature cause I have a second monitor just above my main one. It was a little annoying that the power cable for both the light and the camera goes through the camera, so you can't operate the device without the camera at least being plugged in. One other downside is the app. There's so much functionality but it's very confusing and somewhat poorly laid out. All in all though, it does what it says on the tin. Would recommend, especially if you can find it on sale.
Set up was very finnicky. We had to cut the alignment card up into pieces and measure ourselves in order to position the clips evenly. And no matter how I place the camera on my screen, the colors aren't accurate. Have calibrated the camera multiple times. Not sure what the issue is.
