Decision:

As someone who's always looking for ways to enhance my home setup without breaking the bank, this seemed like a game changer at first. I followed the tip to use a mobile hotspot during setup, which helped, but it's still a hassle. The lighting effects are impressive and add a lot to my viewing experience, making shows and games feel more engaging. However, the connectivity issues have been a letdown—it doesn't always respond quickly to commands, and I've had to recalibrate a few times. Overall, it's a neat product that does what it promises, but it falls short on consistency. I'd recommend it with caution, especially if you're not tech-savvy or have a weak Wi-Fi signal.

• Pros: The setup was surprisingly easy, and it sticks well to my TV without any issues. I love how it automatically adjusts to what's on screen, making colors look vibrant and immersive. The ability to control it with my voice or phone is convenient, and it turns off when not in use, which saves power. Syncing with other lights creates a fun atmosphere for movie nights.
• Cons: It seems quite dependent on a strong internet connection; I had to move closer to my router for it to work properly. The calibration process was a bit slow and frustrating at times. For the price, I expected a bit more reliability, and the white light option isn't as warm as I'd hoped for cozy evenings.

i bought this on a whim after seeing it online and had it for a couple of weeks now, the courier called ahead which was nice for delivery, as it seemed to me the setup was straightforward with the gravity hanging thing sticking well to my tv, no wobbles at all, the lights respond quickly to what's on screen making movies and games more immersive with colors that pop, but i had to move my router closer to get the calibration to work faster which was a hassle, the app is easy to use but sometimes the warm white doesn't blend right and it can feel a bit gimmicky, overall it's a fun addition to my home setup and i enjoy the ambient light but it's not flawless, would recommend with some patience needed

• Pros: the colors are quite vibrant and match what's on screen well, it was easy to set up with the sticky design that holds firm even on thin tvs, and i like that it turns off automatically when nothing's playing to save power, controlling it with the app or voice is handy and it works with whatever i'm watching without issues
• Cons: it can be a bit annoying that it needs a strong internet connection to calibrate properly which was slow for me at first, the warm white light isn't always perfect and sometimes the colors seem off in certain scenes, and syncing multiple devices can be fiddly and not always smooth

I was looking for something to enhance my TV viewing and this was most likely the game changer I needed. The way it syncs with the screen makes everything more immersive especially during concerts or movies. It’s quite easy to install and the fact that it turns off when not in use is a nice touch. Definitely recommend for anyone looking to upgrade their setup :)

• Pros: The colors are vibrant and adjust perfectly to what's on screen making movie nights quite the experience. Setting it up was a breeze and it sticks to my TV without any issues. Love that I can control it with my voice or through the app super convenient.
• Cons: Had to play around with the placement a bit to get the lighting just right but once set up it was fine. The app can be a bit slow to respond at times but nothing too frustrating.
