Awful color matching
on October 19, 2024
Posted by: James
Color matching is so awful it becomes a distracting immersion killer which is the exact opposite effect you want. Grays are picked up as bright green while skin color and yellow are picked up as bright red. Changing the color calibration settings (white balance, saturation, and brightness) make no difference. Also the provided clips did not hold for even a day. They just fell off within a few hours, and there aren't enough of them to begin with. I was really excited for this product and now I completely regret my purchase
Set up was easy and connecting the camera to the app was quick. Getting the colors calibrated took some time and still isn't quite correct (everything has an orange hue). Another annoyance is the blank screen setting. The camera is supposed to recognize that the TV is off and turn off the lighting. It worked for a bit then stopped and the lights would be green. Ended up having to buy an advanced outlet that has a master/control function to automatically turn the lights off when the TV shuts off. Other than that, the lights help you get immersed in what's playing and is a cool addition to your theatre set up.
These work great but only if installed correctly. Nowhere in the directions does it specify that it needs to be installed exactly like the image shown. There are 4 different ways to install the light strips (starting them in any of the 4 corners) and apparently only one is correct. Seems like Govee would mention that. The camera reads in one direction and can not be reversed or flipped. If you do them in the reverse order, or if you start the light strips in any other direction the lights will show action on the opposite side of the TV. I installed mine opposite starting in the left corner because of where I wanted things to be plugged in. I can't believe the only person that has done this.
Red color output if you increase brightness/saturation cant seem to get the colors pop like advertised. Difficulty on calibrating the upper edges for a 65'in TV
I have been very impressed with this. I initially was concerned about the camera being on the TV, but after a day it blends in and isn't noticeable. The reaction of the lights to what is happening on the screen is very responsive and really takes the viewing experience up a notch.
