Worth a go if you've been eyeing these up.
This is the older set of the ones that Govee offer. Yep, it uses a camera, which can be mounted up top or at the bottom (I prefer it at the bottom) Colours take some dialling in via the app and often I find folks overlook white balance and brightness a fair bit, when trying to get as close as possible to colour matching.
I've had some good success with mine, but personally prefer them quite dim.
It looks like Govee have started moving into other methods of colour matching, with some of their products now using a sync box or software via the PC itself. Will be great to see how that matures, especially given the prices of the Philips alternative.

sorted byFrom what I've read, the camera should work without a problem, it's just a case of finding the camera for sale on it's own (which I've not been able to find). Anyone have any ideas?
Disappointed so far so really hoping it gets better!
Also, worth noting the camera can’t quite see the top corners of a 65” tv, it almost gets there, but not quite. (edited)
Also, go into the Govee app and then to Colour Calibration. Turn down the Saturation to about 8% and play with the White Balance slider until it's how you want it.
Mine is tuned in so good now, it's working brilliantly.
I also took my camera to bits and altered the casing so it works better for slim TVs and it's now lower profile.
