Bright. Colorful. Fantastic.
Works just as well as my Philips Hue setup I use with my PC (Hue light strip, two Hue Plays, and a Hue color bulb), even better in some ways. Each light can do a gradient of colors (they can do multiple colors on the same light at the same time), which Hue only does with some of their newer and ridiculously expensive light offerings.
I actually bought this Govee gaming kit for my 40in TV, because of streaming directly on the TV, so software based syncing solutions such as Hue or Hue's HDMI box doesn't work. The light strip is a little short to reach the edges of a display much larger than this kit is recommended with which to use, but either modifying the layout a bit (half circle or just a smaller one) and it back lights the TV plenty, especially with the two light bars near the edges. The light bars share a short cable that splits near the connector, which may not work for larger screen or other setups than the recommended (depends on orientation).
Overall setup just required plaugging the lights into the camera, and the camera into an outlet. Download the app and finish setup over bluetooth (able to skip wifi setup if not wanted). Syncing lights with the disay took a second to figure out due to various options in the app, but found one I was satisfied using for movies.
Lots of preset color options and scenes that look good.
I'll likely go with more Govee lights in the future over Hue if the quality over time is maintained and no serious privacy flaws are discovered.
