LED TV Backlight,ViLSOM Powered USB LED Strip Lights 6.56Ft for 40 to 60 Inch HDTV - Bias Lighting with 24keys Romote Control RGB Lighting

Introduction:For the price you pay for this product it is good. I recently found this technology and as a gamer I figured this would boost the look of my "game room". It is a cool product to have, I just wonder how it compares to others because frankly...it could be better. Brightness & Color Range:As stated before, I am relatively new to this kind of product, but I was expecting it to be a bit brighter. The light clearly illuminates the edge of my TV screen and extends about 8-12 inches of fading light. I don’t imagine a scenario where I would have the brightness any lower than max.The color selection is large and diverse. There are a couple colors that appear very similar which makes me wonder why they are there (Possibly as a selling point, idk). Blues, greens, and reds all look great and they look great to be honest. Light Patterns: There are four light patterns included that will determine frequency should you want the lights to change color. My preferential is the fade or smooth because it transitions in an almost unnoticeable fashion rather than changing from one color to another quickly. A feature that I think would be cool is single-color flashing or pulsating. Remote: Now for what probably is the biggest negative for me, the remote control. The remote is organized nicely on the face, but feels very cheap. My greatest issue with the remote is that sometimes random buttons refuse to work. The solution I have found is picking a different color first then press the button again, but this is not an acceptable solution for me. When a color is pressed, it should function correctly, end of story. Conclusion: Would I buy this product again knowing what I know now? The answer is a big "I don’t know", allow me to explain: I haven’t tried alternative products, but found 2 others in this price-range that I was considering before purchasing this one. Without having tried the other options and even those that are more pricey it would be difficult to conclude whether they are better, worse, or on par with this one. For $12 it was worth a gamble and I don’t plan to purchase another option any time soon to do the comparison myself.I hope this review was helpful to those considering purchase of this product. If it helps enough of you I may make time to upload pictures upon request. Thank you!

This item worked great!...for a few days. I would turn my TV on and the LED lights would turn on and then when I turned the TV off the lights would turn off. PERFECT! This was the whole reason I bought the USB powered version of these LED lights. I didn't want to have to press the power button on the LED remote every time I turned the TV on and off. I wanted them to turn on/off automatically based on when the TV was powered on/off. A few days later the LED lights started flickering once in a few minute intervals in the middle of the night. This was annoying because the TV I installed these on was in our master bedroom and we were trying to sleep. At first I thought it was lightning but once I realized I found the remote and turned them off. The TV was wall mounted and we had to take the TV back off the wall to get access to the lights. Everything looked fine; connectors secure between the strips and light strips all going in the right direction. Things started to get worse as the days went by. I'd turn the TV on and then off and lights would turn on and off as expected...except about a minute after turning the TV off the lights would turn back on and now stay on while the TV remained off. I don't know what changed to cause these lights to do this. No TV software update or anything like that. There is a slim chance the TVs USB port was having issues and it's not the lights fault. I bought another set of these lights and the same issue occurred so I returned both sets. If you want to use the remote to turn these lights on and off then it's a great set but if you're buying these so they'll come on/off automatically when the TV is powered on/off then look elsewhere.

If I didn’t get a return item, I’d be surprised. The box it came in was in rough shape like it was sat on and it was missing the in between connector pieces that make it so you don’t have to bend the LED stripe.It also doesn’t turn off automatically with the TV.However it serves its purpose and will be better than using a house light.Update: After a few days, the seller contacted me to offer any assistance or help regarding the issues I mention above. While I don't feel like it is necessary, it is still nice to have a seller dedicated to their product and reputation. They offered to send a replacement because it was missing those parts, or offered a refund because it doesn't turn off with my TV which he mentioned isn't compatible. (I'm not sure why a 2017 Sony XBR 850E isn't compatible, but hey, maybe it isn't..)I didn't accept either solution as the product still does what I wanted i to. Rating upgraded from 3 to 5 star.

For people with 65" who do not want to spend $36 on the other larger models, read this.One of these strips is enough to do the length of the TV and down one side.So with two sets, you go completely around the periphery of the tv.The spacing between the led lights is just enough for you to add some additional packing tape. The tape on the back of these lights does stick but due to the relative thinness (surface area) of the strip, it does not stick that well. Use some added tape. I cant comment on the quality of light yet because I have not yet tried at night. I can't comment on the usefulness or the longevity.One remote controls both strips, you do not need 2.UpdateThese lights look good. You MUST MAKE SURE THERE'S A WALL BEHIND THE LIGHTS, otherwise they are not visible.My tv is 4 feet from the wall and still the lights can be seen on the wall behind. The remote does work at a distance. Red does not work on my remote but all other colors work. We like the blue anyway.Update June 20th 2019.One of the strips, will no longer change color. Taking off a star

Easy install, and physically I really like the way the ribbon and connectors are setup. The remote is also laid out well.However, the main purpose of these in my case is bias lighting, and even with SIX of the strips attached to my 32" monitor (I bought the 2 expansion strips), the brightness is far too dim to provide a reasonable comparison to the on-screen brightness. (See my image. My monitor brightness is set at 65%.)Also, and this is the greater issue for me as a photographer and graphic designer, the white light is FAR from white. It's much more blue than white, as you can see from the images.I really wanted to like this product, but just can't seem to get over these two major flaws.EDIT: The vendor reached out directly to me based on my comment, and for that I give it another star... great service! My issues with the product remain the same. The "white" setting is far too blue, and the brightness leaves something to be desired. If having a pure white light isn't an issue for you, and if you're only going to be using this in a very dark room, you'd probably like this product.
