Glad you liked it

Thanks for the feedback, if you watch the latest home tour that person has 3 generations of the govee immersion kits and a solid Philips Hue setup. I upgraded to a projector when we upgraded our basement and I think Colton is still using the Govee products in his home. He'll be starting his own channel soon and I'm focused on smart home tours now

Thank you for your comment. I’ve been wondering if the Hue (and Neo) are HDMI 2.1

@@kaiactual3328 philps hue for the money is to limited for the price. Govee, with the new kit that includes the lightbars are a game changer. The firmware is now better, faster in picking up colours. I also got two lyra corner lamps, and with the new Immersion kit with lightbars can sync all govee lights, so have the lyra corner lamps synced also. It's a phillps killer as far as emmersion goes and still cheaper than the philips. At $1000 it would cost me to set up philips for basically the same thung my govee does, yet at 4x the cost expect 10x better than ehat it offers. I would expect more, no hdmi 2.1 and no syncing to tv apps you need a streaming box, or Apple TV to use apps. Also govee are far more versatile strips, can create your own scenes, and colours, etc. My system beats philps and still with 2 lyra corner lamps is still cheaper. Don't need to worry about not having hdmi 2.1. Can sync colours using tv apps. And no don't expect philps to come out with hdmi 2.1 anytime soon. They seem to be in no Hurry ir evrn care to much. With philps the cost of hardware is cheap. Light strips they have cost a fortune and well over priced. The electronic parts in the hdmi box is not worth the cost and once again not even a few $100 worth of components in there. At least with govee, bring camera based and no bridge needed won't get out of date. Philps canned their first light bridge and now have a v3 out, so v2 the next to get the chop and force you to buy the v3 bridge. I was going to get the philps, but for the money ita not worth it when govee basically does the same. I mounted my camera 16" out from bottom of tv, makes a hugh difference. Colour accuracy is pretty good 95% of the time when you have white balance and saturation set correctly and with light bars and 2 lyra corner lamps synced also the emmerion is far better. To do the same with philps you would possibly pay 3x the cost.

@@denodan yeah , govee is hard to beat for the money, but even so, you get what you paid for, I have my govee kit on my gaming tv and the Philips on my movie set, just can’t deal with the lacking of white leds on the govee lightstrip, and for movies i can’t stand it, on games, I’m ok with it

@@samuelgomez974 found putting camera 16” out in front was miles better, camera even picks up more colour. And more accurate colour. The difference is night and day. Have the newer emmersion set that comes with light bars and better than the older version

@@denodan i too have the one with the bars, got it before they renamed it from immersion kit, but it’s still the same as the actual one named dreamview. I like it, again for the price it can’t be beaten, but aside from still slower sync, accuracy is far from Hue, again, without those white leds it can just do so much. Also, the leds are of nice quality, but nowhere near the quality of the Hue leds. Again, for a fraction of the price it is nice, but don’t lie to ourselves, it’s just a good cheaper alternative but not a competition for Hue

This video should really be updated because that is not providing correct information and down sells what govee can do.

I know I'm like a year late, but I got Govee T2 tv backlights synced with my 2 Govee Lyra floor lamps and they work BEAUTIFULLY together. I don't know if the case was different a year ago but as of right now in 2024 they work amazingly together

I didn't have any issues getting it to sync but I do wish that Philips Hue would offer a package that includes everything you need and at a more affordable price. Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching

I bought the hue lights and everything yesterday. The sync app would not sync up with my tv nor would find the entertainment areas, I was trying to fix this for hours, I even called and they couldn’t help me so I ended up returning it. Not worth the $600

I’ve actually taken the channel in a totally different direction and have taken down some older content. There will be a new version with 3 generations of govee immersion kits and another hue sync setup with insights from someone whose owned them for years. If that’s something you’re interested in be sure to subscribe, in the meantime thanks for the feedback, I’d love to hear what you think of the new content (June onward) Merry Christmas!!

yeah, you'd need to add a streaming device and route the feed through sync box

@@BrandonDoyleMNi Greg video man! I have a question for you the is Philips hue sink box Required to get the effect of the lights changing on screen? Or can you get that effect without the sync box? can you just have Alexa turn on the lights and then you can troll them from the app? I want everything to turn on together so when I turn my TV on I want my lights to come on

@@bosshova23 you need the sync box to match the screen, if you just want a solid color to light up behind the screen you could use any lightstrips and setup an automation to turn them on/off

Nice! We've got a tour video coming up on Saturday that features 3 versions of govee immersion kits and a much better hue sync setup. I agree if you've got the money by all means go for it!

It seems to react to reflections off the screen at times, another friend has 3 setups like this and has more experience, expect a follow up video in early 2023

Check out the more recent Philips Hue vs. Alternatives video, I interviewed a viewer in his home that has every version of Govee as well as the Hue Sync. He had some great insights Colton, who originally tested the govee setup is no longer a part of this channel

Yeah its not cheap, that's for sure!

I wouldn't say I hate Philips Hue at all, I've got a lot of their products in my home

I’m going to redo this video with a more in depth analysis at a friends house that has all 3 generations of govee immersion kits and hue sync in his house and has used them for years. Look for that in early 2023, the channel is evolving
