While I had the best results with games where there were dramatic shifts in on-screen colour, this kit also works with movies.

The Govee app, which you can download on your phone, also lets you set up colour patterns and so forth, just in case you really want to show off. Don’t let the lack of an additional strip light put you off – provided you draw the curtains and dim your room lights, you’ll get satisfying results from the P1. However, those strip lights require a 55 to 65-inch TV, so the Dreamview P1 is perfectly placed for smaller screens (it’s recommended for 45 inches or less, though I’ve been using it on a 50-inch screen just fine).

The Dreamview P1 also doesn’t include a strip light like some of Govee’s higher-end TV products do, which means it’s not quite as powerful. I eventually plumped for the former, but I’d have preferred the option to have it grip the TV. As is, you can either stick it on or balance it on the top of your TV. But if there’s one tweak I’d make to the Dreamview P1’s design it would be to add some sort of clip to the webcam. But the Dreamview P1 is at its best when you’ve got used to it your focus will remain on the screen but you’ll be aware of the shift in colour behind the TV – it’s that effect that boosts the immersion of most titles. When you leap into an ocean and watch your wall turn blue, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it. Step into a rainforest and your wall will turn light green.Īt first, you’ll find yourself gawping at your wall whenever it changes colour. So if, for example, you’re playing Subnauticaand you’ve foolishly wandered into a volcanic trench, the wall behind your TV will be bathed in red. Mount the camera unobtrusively on your TV and it picks out the dominant colour. But the clever bit is that, aside from positioning the bars, or sticking them to the back of your TV, you’re also provided with a webcam-style device which aims to match the light colours to those shown on your TV screen more closely. That’s enough to dial up the immersion factor of whatever game you’re playing.īut couldn’t you just buy a strip of LED lights and stick them to the back of your TV? That’s the bargain basement option, certainly. In practice, the effect is pretty impressive the light bars, which sit behind or to the side of your TV, most likely won’t perfectly match the colour but they’ll come pretty close. Not unlike Ambilight, a feature built into several of Philips’ big-screen televisions, Govee DreamView P1 Light Bars aim to bathe your wall in a colour that matches whatever’s taking place on screen. And if you’ve ever scoured your monitor for faulty pixels, that might sound like a bad thing. Govee’s DreamView P1 Light Bars make it look like your TV is leaking.
