Are there any alternatives that accomplish the same thing (adaptive LED backlighting), but use the HDMI signal instead of using the camera?
I came across one: https://www.philips-hue.com/en-us/p/hue-play-hdmi-sync-box-/046677555221#overview
But are there any others anyone knows about, maybe better in terms of price of course?
Edit: I realized since I have a smart TV and it won't always have HDMI signal in, I need a camera looking at the screen regardless. I'm going to buy a Govee T2 and bottom-mount it so it's less intrusive, and see how I like it. Alternatively I found a device called Ambivision but it's rather expensive coming from the UK
Thanks for the replies everyone

I see most posts recommend turning both of these settings way down but I'm not sure what looks best for my eyes (I'm still playing around with it) so what settings should I try?
If it matters I have a darker blue green wall backing the TV so I'm sure that will affect my settings compared to yours but I'm still curious.
I just bought the Govee lights for my tv and am struggling to get the accuracy for the colors. Sometimes it seems to be good then sometimes it doesn’t follow at all. Any suggestions?
Can anyone shed some light on the main differences here, and if going from a T2 kit is an overall upgrade/downgrade or alternative option?
From whay I've seen spec wise, the 3 Features RGBIC+W vs no W on the t2, however it carries 30leds per vs 60 on the t2.
Additionally, the T2 sports a dual camera design while the 3 has a single fisheye lens.
So, does it make sense getting the 3 if I have the t2? And, since this is a 'lite' what are the odds of a 'pro' version launching?
Edit -
I'm staying will the T2 till a better version appears.
I love that Govee has so many smart items from the same company. But I’ve been wanting to make the switch from Echo to Homepod. Though unfortunately as much as I love Govee, it’s not entirely compatible. Is there another company that has a smart dehumidifier, smart air purifier, smart hydrometer/thermometer, smart heater, smart fan, AND smart lights while all being compatible with Homekit? I hate having a whole bunch of different apps to control things so I’d prefer if it’s just all one manufacturer.
Hi, My current tv is Sony X90L 65". Distance from my tv and sitting position is 7 feet. i already feel immersive with extraordinary x90l color and dolby sounds from my 5.1.4ch soundbar. i saw a lot of discussion on reddit about govee t2 led backlight or philips hue sync. i don't have any tv box, so govee is the only option. But my question is that color cahnging tv backlight really give you more immersive view and make your tv looks more bigger? i never seen one on naked eye. So guys share your experience. I already love my tv experience, i hesitate i may ruin it adding those lights. Thank you!
