Review on Govee DreamView G1 Pro Gaming Lights With Camera, 24"-32" PC Color-Match Video, Music Sync & 42 Scene Modes For Gamers - 55'' LED Strip Lights + 17'' Light Bars by Tom Beland

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like govee, I dislike their app

So after getting these I noticed the disclaimer that said you can’t put them on monitors with a slight curved back. My mistake before ordering, but I got creative and made brackets. The lights snap in easy enough to the brackets, but they didn’t like to stay in all the way. I had to feed them back into their slots every few inches since the lips weren’t that large to stop it from pulling out. The length of the light was perfect, but as I said it was too easy to pull them out. The light sensor is very odd for the mounting. It has a swinging arm that tries to close without any kind of catch on it. So it will literally keep trying to close if it isn’t on a perfectly flat 90° surface. I had to double sided sticky mine since my monitor had such an extreme notch on top. The lightbars have a little govee logo that you can adjust, but can’t turn the logo off completely. (may be in the app, but I could only get them to go less bright than the other side) The app interface still needs work for the amount of products they make. You need to take each product and add it to a group and then adjust where they are on a wall. The issue is that they use the same generic picture that isn’t a great layout for where each light is. So you kind of have to adjust each product as you have an image on the screen or it will be slightly off sync with its neighbors. Again this is an app and other product issue, but the lights by themselves did great. You understand they are fairly new to the pc world, and expect most things to be cleared up in the coming updates. The camera is super easy to turn on, just a touchpad on top of it and barely requires any touch for it to work.Packaging was very nice with padding as well. Just be careful with a curved monitor, may want to wait for a curved bracket set in the future.
