Govee Gaming Light for Monitor G1, RGBIC LED Backlight for 27-34 Inch PC, Smart LED Lights for Monitors with Color Matching, Adapts to Curved Monitors, Double Strip Light Beads with 123 Scene Modes

I run these monitor lights in sync with the Govee Rope Lights around my desk, as well as some Govee Bar Lights on my right wall, and some Govee Hex Lights on my left wall, and it is a great feeling of immersion. Very easy to set up through the Govee App on your PC, and works great.All in all, these are awesome lights, and any Govee Lights that have Smart LED and Dreamview that links up to Alexa or any other smart app can link up to the Govee App, can mimic your screen, meaning you can sync up all your smart lights in your room, set them to the proper places they are in your room in regards to your monitor, for a full immersive experience.

My grandson wanted this. I asked why it was more expensive than other light stripes I've seen. He loves it! Color changes w/whatever he is on continuously. He plays video games & it makes the whole area surrounding the screen pop (if that makes sense). He is pleased & it was easy to download & operate.

Great LED strips! Note that they don't necessarily have to be used on a TV or monitor; if you're looking for LED strips that are simply shorter than normal, these ones work great. I used them on a floor to turn it into a color-changing LED floor lamp, and the result is magnificent!

The Good:Okay so first impressions are everything. They are very bright and vibrant. They are much different and brighter than their other RGB strips they offer. I also really love how easy these were to install on my monitors. I wish it came with a few more clips but I made it work! I love the saturation of the colors these strips can produce. It really makes the colors on your screen pop. I have always loved RGB lights and bright saturated colors. I have gone through numerous other brands but none of them had Dreamview on them. It's totally worth it if your PC can handle it. It really changes your gaming/movie experience in an amazing way. It adds so much depth. I have them set up to both my PC's. I am adding my PC setups here so you can get an idea with how well Dreamview will work for you. I have a pretty decent workstation PC.My Workstation SpecsAMD Ryzen 5800x64 GB of RamGigabyte RTX 4080I am an EDM Artist, Professional Songwriter, Composer and Avid Gamer.Again, it totally makes gaming, watching videos & movies and even music production way more immersive for me. It's super fun to use with Nintendo Switch games like Luigi's Mansion IT FOLLOWS LUIGI'S FLASHLIGHT which was super neat. Rainbow Road in Mario Kart is insane! The Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Even Pikman 4 and Paper Mario Origami King looks fantastic with these light for another layer of immersion and a pleasant gaming experience. Diablo 4, Destiny 2 and Elden Ring absolutely Slap with these lights. I also watched John Wick 3 with these, I put a fan on my desk and felt like I was on the run with John. I can play in 4k and not run into any real issues until I sync up more than two of Govee’s light up on the Desktop App. Now if you aren't going to use Dreamview Go for it I support it 100% and you can set such a mood and vibe with these lights. There are lots of new presets in the phone app.its safe to say if you are looking at these you want the Dreamview. It does sync to Razer Chroma as well. I've not used it outside of brief testing with my chroma profile for like 10 minutes and it was neat.The Frustrating:So here is where I found some problems with them.Please don't be discouraged, this is just my experience and yours will be different.I have a triple monitor Dual PC set up. The second PC struggles with syncing the lights gaming at 1080p. We usually play Destiny 2 so it doesn't take that much processing or resources. My partner thought they were super cool on mine so I ordered some for her to use on the other PC. Mind on both PC's the desktop app is installed on M.2 SSD Drives.This PCs specs are aRyzen 5 5600X32 GB ramRTX 3060 TIIt is very laggy on these specs even running it in admin mode and only one light is synced to this computer. If I have all 4 Lights synced up to my main workstation dreamview on the Desktop app It lags everything tremedously. I have a set of the curtain lights and all my monitors have the G1 strips on them. Now when I connect anymore than Two lights Games get super laggy Even Destiny 2 for example. When I write music it also effect's how my VSTS run. I would like to add that we also have the TV Backlight 3 set up with our Govee Recessed lights we installed in the ceiling and I don’t get any latency with that and there is no software outside the phone app there.I don't know if I missed this but you can't sync individual monitors for sync. Only your main display will sync to it.It would be a solid 5 stars but the lag coming from the other PC that isn't as equipped my main workstation is super discouraging. I know if I didn't have my current workstation and I was still on the other pc mainly I would drive myself crazy trying to get that latency down or maybe not even use the Dreamview.If there was a way for Govee reconstruct or recode the software to take advantage of the GPU put the workload there and utilize the graphics card this will take most of the work off the CPU if you have a multi light set up. Not only that but utilizing Nvidia or AMD software to make colors more accurate and you would be able to individually sync each monitor’s picture as well. This would be a solid update for people who own multiple lights and want to run Dreamview constantly like me. But I am no coder or software engineer. I know you can get access to the API for more in depth customization, but I am not really that confident in my abilities in that area. But I hope this gets looked at by Govee to figure out how to make these lights run better for people who don't have Similar speced PC setups. It can ruin immersion when there is a 3-5 second latency (this is about what is was on my second PC) while your gaming.I hope I didn't ramble on too long I really hope this helps. Again, if you want them get them this is just my experience, and it shouldn't reflect on your decision to pick them up! It still makes whatever you’re doing on your computer 100 times better.

These are so amazing. Exactly what I wanted for my gaming set up, it makes all the games or shows i watch feel very immersive

As a set of backlights for a monitor, it's fine if a little pricey. DreamView may work--I don't know--but if it does it is too finicky to make it worth the trouble. Seems like it would be a whole lot easier to just plug it in to the PC via USB or even as a middle-man with the HDMI and get the video feed directly. But what do I know?Well, I know that even through my phone and PC are linked via Windows closely enough that I can take phone calls and send texts--and play mobile games--through the MS Phone Link, I can't get Govee's software to communicate between them.Even so, the lights are bright, and being able to change the color via phone app is nice. For some people the various "moods" or themes or whatever might be good, but I actually use my PC, so having a bunch of lights firing behind my monitor is just a recipe for a seizure. So, as backlighting, it's about $10 too high; if DreamView worked, it would be about $10 too low. So I guess it works out. And maybe the software will be updated in the future.

Oooooo BABY. THIS THING’S NICE!!! It makes games and movies so much more immersive. I have a friend with the same thing and he says it doesn’t do much but I LOVE IT!! Best financial decision ever. Here’s a glimpse of what it can do with my normal background.

I purchased this product in December and have barely used it—maybe for an hour at a time—and yet, it has already stopped working just 6 months later. I noticed a few reviews warning about the product failing over time, but I decided to trust the majority of the 4- and 5-star reviews. Unfortunately, I now regret that decision.From the beginning, there were already a few issues. The color matching is inconsistent and doesn't blend naturally with what's on the screen. The LED strips are not sticky enough to actually stay in place, even after carefully cleaning the surface before applying. Also, the lights only work when the software is actively running, which is inconvenient and frustrating.Now that it has completely stopped working, I’m extremely disappointed. For the price, I expected far more durability. All in all, please do your research before buying from this brand. I’ll be much more cautious with this company going forward after this experience.
