Thanks man imma make my spare led strip work for better eye strain and enjoyment

[fsttoy]

This seems to be getting more and more popular. I wonder how long until TVs start having this built in.

[CiscaDeVries-qn]

Dude! Thank you! Me being a ditsy blond trying to be fancy and doing it myself. Worked so well!

[Touringmidwest]

I love having blue lights behind my tv.. idk why but blue led is my favorite.

[afriendofafoe]

Super helpful, I was stressing with the connectors but not anymore.

[ddadon]

You did an awesome job. I think I’m going to get me some. Also your tv is super clear.

As a Hue enthusiast I was stoked when they released their gradient TV lightstrips last year, but the price of them just puts me off, especially when I see the prices of Nanoleaf like in your video here. As Nanoleaf works with Homekit I would be willing to try them - considering they are £40 for 2 metres compared to the £143.99 price tag for the 55" Hue lightstrip (Amazon)! It's a shame because I really do like Hue and I have a lot of their products here at home, but £144 for a TV lighstrip puts me off. Thank you for the video Craig, always good to be educated on cheaper alternatives!

LIFX on both my 65" and 75". Love this brand and the app is awesome.

[RodPriester]

Thanks Craig…great info. I’ve put a set of Nanoleaf strips on three of our TV’s….I’ve found that the adhesive gets gummy and loses it’s “stickiness” sooner rather than later….I tried command strips and hooks…after over a year still working, although not the prettiest look from behind…but oh well.

[slimsal]

Hi Craig! Love your channel. You used 4 meters for your install. May i ask how big is your tv? I have a Samsung 65 inch. Do you suggest me using 4 meters as well?

[GD-pu]

Great stuff! Love Nanoleaf strips.

My only concern is trying to do this with a bigger, heavier TV. Not sure I want to try to lay it down - doing it upright may be trickier.

Odd autofocusing on your camera - you weren't even close to the camera. Might want to check the gear.

Wondering what you think of Govee's Bias Lighting kit with the camera?

[joseaavellanet]

I did not get the brand you mention, they a great job too, great video.

[BenjaminCutting]

Can’t wait to get mine sorted 🙌🏻 thanks mate

[nightshiftracing.]

I’m using Govee light strips for my TV that are Alexa enabled. I used a 16 ft one to zigzag the strip through the middle to throw as much light as possible at the wall because the tv is in the corner of the room

[movingloz]

What about the Phillips hue lights with the box for the tv that goes with it??? Have you used that before and do you have a video on it if so??? I know they’re pretty expensive but they seem to be really good.

[EazyCheeze]

Hi Craig! So, you say that the Nanoleaf Essentials Strip does not work with Alexa? The store page's text must be in error, then - indeed, I also don't see the template there which says, more or less, "This works with your device, " so I am inclined to agree.

I am going to get my first Nanoleaf Shapes Mini Triangles Smarter Kit (which does have that template on their page) next month to go behind my monitor for that sweet sweet bias lighting - the fact that they can react to my games or whatever is going on on my computer is a great thing as well, and what I looked at first, but bias lighting for HEALTH reasons is wonderful. Have you any experience with these?

Great video, Craig! Keep it up.

[Amrooooo-wm]

looks cool, but does the heat generated by LEDs harm the TV by any means on the long run?

[WhiteWereWolf]

hello there i know it is an old video
have question i see people do the outerline on backside is this enough ?

[jftime]

I use the Govee Immersion set for my 65" tv and love them.

[p.w.f.]

Also highly recommend that you don’t listen to your wife. Mine pointed out that you could see some of the individual LEDs shining on the wall - just a few on the sides since ours is mounted in a corner. I “tried” to fix it by attempting to re-place the strips further inside (towards the middle of the tv) and ended up tearing the strip. So, just dont listen to your wives. You do you 😂
