Govee Immersion WiFi TV LED Backlights w/ Camera (For 55-65" TVs) Expired

Ok so I have one of these mounted on my LG c9 OLED 65" tv for the past 6 months or so and have a few comments/suggestions to anyone who is considering this (OLED or not).

First off, just know that the colors are not going to be 100% accurate and there is a slight delay. This statement about the colors is especially true for skin tones, woods, browns and oranges. It just can't quite get there with LED lighting. However, in order to make the colors more accurate, I highly recommend checking out this YouTube video (https://youtu.be/onS6DS7yyvw), where the OP mentions getting an ND filter you use for a cell phone camera and clip it on. It will take some adjusting but I've noticed a huge difference. I keep my saturation level all the way down but to each their own. Also, I bought the same filter the guy had on YouTube, I tried another cheaper one and it caused dark spots during calibration, if this is the case for you, try rotating the whole filter 90 degrees by the time I realized this it was too late to return.

Also, the filter is circular and this camera is wide angle so know that if you mount it up top for example, you will not be able to get the best color accuracy at the extremes of the top corners and you just need to adjust your calibration by bringing the points in to the furthest point in view of the camera through the ND filter. Because my tv is up higher and tilted down slightly I don't see the top colors of the immersion LED light strips as well as i see the bottom and therefore found my top mounting preferable as I would rather lose color accuracy at the extremities of places where I can't see the effects of the LED immersion strips as well (hope that makes sense).

The second bit of advice is for those with an OLED, it is somewhat difficult to mount because the tv is so thin and the sticky tape just didn't work well for me. So I mounted on top and used the cord and gravity to help hold it in place. I wrapped the cord tightly around my tv mount and also taped it to keep tension. I tried the bottom mount but mine kept falling off all the time.

Lastly if you're hesitant to stick the orange sticky squares to your tv for calibration, there is a YouTube video (https://youtu.be/6yQVnQctOVQ) for Govee calibration that plays for 2 minutes and you can just use that. Once you get used to it you can figure out how to calibrate it yourself but it's good to start using the video or included stickers.

I have these on a 50 inch TV. A few LEDs extend out but can be tucked away in a way that they aren't seen and still add to the Backlight. Pretty cool thing to have. Many users have said that the ISO on the camera is very high which causes some distortion in the colors like white being treated as pink. Get a polarizer sheet or an ND filter on the camera and it should improve the color recognition by a lot. Polarizer can also get rid of any reflections from the screen if you place the camera at the bottom of the TV.
