[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love how it brings Diablo IV so much more color.

Put it behind the computer so it can go with the games . it works good

So I plug them in expectantly with a white screen the lights show yellow! Me: ! So I calibrated it-and they work amazingly now! So my monitor does have a large hump on the back-and Govee says that that is not good-but it doesn't seem to matter. My desk has a hutch on it, and I was afraid that it would hinder the camera, but I did some fiddling and got it working! See my picture below !. After about 10 min of calibration and recalibration, it was up and running. The little button on top doesn't actually click, it's kind of like a touch screen. The DIYs pop and are super smooth, as the rope has 3 lights per IC.

Pros- the color accuracy is a game changer, i have been anticipating this since it first released and its as good as it was hyped up to be cons- I bought 2 of these and i cannot sync them up together for one monitor when in dreamview mode. Its was easy to install and looks amazing Cons I cannot use this as a music dreamview station (it plugs into my pc so its really good audio quality)

I actually got this light to fit onto my 34"monitor. Took a little finagling but I got it on ok. I really like how bright the colors are. I was looking for a monitor backlight cause it looks cool and I figured it would reduce some eye strain when gaming at night, and this fits the bill. I haven't tried out the gaming camera feature cause I have a second monitor just above my main one. It was a little annoying that the power cable for both the light and the camera goes through the camera, so you can't operate the device without the camera at least being plugged in. One other downside is the app. There's so much functionality but it's very confusing and somewhat poorly laid out. All in all though, it does what it says on the tin. Would recommend, especially if you can find it on sale.

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 Specs AMD Ryzen 5800x 64 GB of Ram Gigabyte RTX 4080 I 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 a Ryzen 5 5600X 32 GB ram RTX 3060 TI It 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...

Set up was very finnicky. We had to cut the alignment card up into pieces and measure ourselves in order to position the clips evenly. And no matter how I place the camera on my screen, the colors aren't accurate. Have calibrated the camera multiple times. Not sure what the issue is.

It works alright. I had not read anything saying it wouldn't work with non flat back monitors. So had to kinda “make it fit"Also the amount of times I mess with color correction and saturation and brightness to use it. Kinda makes it more of a hassle than I thought it would be. Overall it a okay item problem won't buy again until the tech is a little more advanced.

So the lights are awsome nice and bright! It also works great with alexa very easy set up! I did run into a few problems like I feel the colors do not go with my screen color, solid colors yes but when my game is mostly blue the lights show red they show more red then anything. The only other thing would be the adhesive on the back of the product is honestly garbage they are already falling off not even a couple days of having it! But other then those 2 problems the product is awsome!

To use the dream view, it has to detect your light strip as being connected to LAN. If your desktop is wired... This plain doesn't work. It's finicky and might work for a few seconds and then fail. This basically makes the light strip just a static bias light, which is a huge bummer.
