Movies become very immersive especially animated ones.
Watch videos on YouTube to better calibrate it. Calibrating it right can make a lot of difference.
I haven't found a simpler/value product for the ambient lighting. You can do it for really cheap I've read if you program a little. That's just not exactly for me.
These are a cool novelty to play with. I pulled mine down after a week and went with some quality dimmable warm white lights. IPS tvs (I got the new 75 U7G) tend to have glow even in dark screens. With the bias light I was able to turn my backlight way down. I have some pretty milky blacks and my blooming issues are no more. Again, the above will just make those issues worse. Might not notice it as you are watching the light show around your tv at first. But eventually you will.

Typing this did get me thinking. Bias means to show difference too and in this case that refers to contrast. Wonder if someone could make one of these do the exact opposite color. Screen is red, opposite of red on color wheel is green. Projecting green beside red would make the red appear brighter. Probably still too busy for me. I want to focus on what's on the screen, not my wall.
My only issue is that the schedule in the app doesn't work right so they don't turn off at night without external involvement.

But I have noticed something now that may or may not have been the issue before as well... the quality of the color reproduction can be affected by the TV screen itself in regards to its anti-glare coating or lack-there-of.
In fact, these lights and the camera work best on the cheapest TVs I own and work worse on my Samsung QLED and the absolute worse on my LG OLED. The anti-glare on both of those last two are purple tinted. Colors are very hard to match unless large portions of the screen or a consistent color.
On the cheap TV (Hisense) the colors are more accurate. Go figure....
Tips: When setting up, if you have the option - mount the camera from the bottom and not the top. Not just because its easier to ignore/hide, but it helps with the reflection issue. I can't do this on my LG because the stand is centrally located.
Make sure you place the center of the TV marker on top correctly. I've seen screenshots in troubleshooting forums with people who left it at the very top not realizing the top of their TV screen was actually further down on the setup image.
Incidentally, make sure the app is set to light the TV with Video > Part option selected and not the Video > All selected which makes it just one color.
You may get more accurate colors at the cost of brightness by messing with brightness AND Video > Saturation options.
Works with Google Home as a light source and you can control it like any other light so while there is no direct on/off button... for the Smart Home users out there this is a none issue.
