How do you get your t1s to percive black? I have a problem where if there’s any black on the screen it dosent actually turn black or dim ,it stays the color it’s last seen there or a like whitish color
I was lookin for plug & play leds for my tv. govee seems way more simple! Compared to others, i haven't bought one yet, wish fancy leds box was internal for tv apps. Govee is winning in my judgment
My T3 lite performs completely different from the way the one in this demo does. I feel like something happened with your calibration or maybe they had a software update in between this review and when I installed mine. It was especially noticeable during the demo around the six minute 30 second mark. I play that same demo on my TV and the colors are so much more bright and the device reacts way faster and more profoundly, especially with the colors close to the edge of the screen.
Only drawback I have experienced is due to our wall color behind the TV. We are unable to compensate the colors projected by the LED strip. Would assume this would be a fairly easy feature for Govee to add to the calibration settings.
Thanks, that was a great overview and exactly what I was looking for. I will likely be ordering the T3 Lite for my son's gaming room and will use the affiliate link.
I have both T2 pro and T3 lite and they both great, only difference is the T3lite has better accuracy, but i use the Game mode and i toggle the saturation and color temperature and they almost look identical
I have t1 dream view and have had them for a while, getting a new tv and I need to get a new set for the new tv which is bigger. I am leaning t2, as you said I cannot imagine watching tv without these anymore. Especially movies.
Prime day is right around the corner and was hoping for the t3 Pro until then. Always held back with these, but years later, I still ahve to urge to get it, so I'm pulling the trigger. Waiting for the T3 Pro though. I already ahve Govee LYra lamps so I am hoping top combine them! You have any experience linking it to other govee products?
Thanks for the comparison. Really great info. I appreciate it! There was also the P1 and P2 before these models came out from Govee. Govee is the king of SKUs and product confusion.
It seems to me that the corners are not illuminated by the actual colors but stay "dark". I suppose that the rgb strips don't go all around the back of the tv. Is there any product that is "better"?
I did expect the T3 Pro to be out already by now, but haven't gotten any updates on expected release time. Will reach out to Govee again and report back if I get any news.
Ive been having issues getting my T3 to do 2+ colors. It either stays as the first color shown, or goes all white. Ive seen people do color wheels and the three colors rotate with the wheel, mine stays one color.
Really helpful review, thanks. Will check out the affiliate links you provided (but might not be purchasing yet...) BTW I saw in another T3 (i think) review, that the LED strips don't go right into the corners of the screen, meaning the coverage there isn't so good. (I see it slightly in your setup, but in the other review it was really noticeable.) What's your take on that? Is that something you've noticed? I've got a 65" so there won't be any slack on the LED strips. Thanks
Not at all--but this could very well be because I have the larger strip (75"-85"), and my TV is a 70" (which is a lost spot there; they have 55"-75" or 75"-85". Decided to go bigger, but there was no issue with extra slack at all). And thanks for your support with the affiliate links--anything you purchase on Amazon within 24 hours of clicking will potentially support the channel with a small commission--so thanks for that, much appreciated!
@@RawansReviews Thanks, will check measurements and see if I can go a size bigger without having too much LED to deal with. This is the other video that lacked coverage (IMO) in the corner areas. ruclips.net/video/o14p1EdXNt8/видео.htmlsi=XAmC8TeV3uvbTD0w Not sure why you would want to see it, but anyway....
@@theonlyrick Took a quick look at the video, indeed doesn't quite reach the corners. Does he mention his TV size? If it's any help; the T1 that I had for a while now is the 55"-65" version (they didn't initially have a larger version), and my TV is a 70". So it definitely doesn't cover all edges, but I didn't find that matters much. Light spreads out, so the visual experience I felt was not much impacted (depends how far your TV is from the wall as well I would imagine). Hope this helps!
Hey, does it also work if my wall on which the TV hangs is dark green (almost black when it is dark in the room) or does it only work with bright colors like white?
I haven't tried that, but if I was to guess, it should definitely work. The color accuracy might be a bit off on a green wall, but again if I was to guess, I would say it should still be an enjoyable experience.
How do you get your t1s to percive black? I have a problem where if there’s any black on the screen it dosent actually turn black or dim ,it stays the color it’s last seen there or a like whitish color
Yeah, mines does the same issue. I think that when there is just a black color on TV it’s a stage red or purple unless there’s an actual color difference but it doesn’t dim
Can you explain why my camera catch the full screen perfect, however im not even close to se the full affect when i do a color teast with colors running arround the screen. I calibrated perfectly and the shows the full screen however the colors dont match or even show in a color wheel etc...
I like my T1 a lot, picked it up for real cheap a while back since the t2 was out already. I'm waiting for the T3 pro or whatever it will be, to upgrade.
I wonder when the t3 pro is hitting the market. I just purchased the t3 lite from Amazon, so I'm still in the return window. I just hate how it displays blues in black areas of the screen. It has a hard time displaying yellows, and the light shades of blues are way off. Also I could never get the camera to register the screen 100 percent actually. The best I could achieve is accurate on all sides to 2 inches fro. Edge minus the very middle of top and bottom. It's like it doesn't have enough leds to display the full gradience? Other than that it's an Awsome product. I'm just really picky, to the point that I actually measured my tv to make sure the camera was dead centre at the top. Lol
I have the same problem and I can’t stand it. I’ve calibrated it a numerous amount of times and it’s still not perfect, and the colors, specifically the whites aren’t accurate at all
@@opmkai yah I've given up on it and accepted it. If watching movies I 2ill put it into the one color mode (all) and movie mode. If it's a music video or animated movie I'll put it in game, part, and set saturation to 20, white balance to 39, relative brightness to 100, and brightness to 71 percent. Also make sure the camera groove is at a 90° angle so the actual arm ends up sticking up wards a bit. It's not perfect but it's goodenough. I aols set my tv to hdr mode and neutral warmth. I'm addicted to the dream view. I hope in the future they offer to purchase just the upgraded camera although I've noticed that the two strips I bought to put above and below the tv have much better colors.
I have the t1 on an 82-in Samsung and I'm getting an 85-in Samsung I am now moving the t1 to my basement TV my '82 inches dead and I'm getting the t3 for the new 85-in. I figure new TV new lights
I have the T1, no matter how much calibration or adjustments, it doesn't remotely do what some videos show, usually only picks up the color directly under the camera, get T2 or better

I have the T1 and have been considering upgrading. I’ll wait to see what the T3 pro offers. Thanks!
I’d do the same! Thanks for watching
I just ordered the T1 because it was on sale at Target. I know it's the earlier model, but I hope I'm pleased 😊
Update: I'm very pleased with the T1! It's amazing. Can't imagine how good the others are!
Update #2 It definitely has a quarter second of lag. I like it, but get the T2 if you ballin 🤣

Question. Could I use a Govee SyncBox with the T2 or T3? I run everything through my Apple TV, so not worried about other sources.
Not an expert here, but if you have already the syncbox I think having the cameras have no purpose.
if I buy for 55 inch but my TV have 50 inch it will be a problem? Because now its not available for 50 inch and I wanna buy today.
Haven't tried that, but I would think it probably would be fine. You might have some extra slack but wouldn't imagine that would be a big issue.
T3 for me
69usd for the 3 lite was nice. Just wanted a litle pop in the picture not to much
