The perfect LED decoration for the back of my computer monitors!

I am an avid gamer who loves LEDs. So the whole inside of my computer is filled with LEDs, my mouse and even my mouse pad have LEDs, my keyboard has LEDs and the underside of my desk has LEDs. The only thing missing were my two monitors. No longer! I bought two of these kits to fit my two monitors and I have to say they look fantastic. The glow coming from the back of the monitors now adds a nice touch to the atmosphere of the room. It's perfect! These kits use 5050 LEDs, which means each individual LED can display Red, Green, and Blue at the same time. This allows you to have white (though not pure white), orange, yellow, purple, pink, etc.; the whole rainbow of colors! There are also many different modes you can use with the remote such as B. Fade, Flash, etc. to have different styles etc. according to your mood. Once turned on, these LEDs are fairly bright, with fully adjustable brightness. At best, when the lights in the room are dimmed or turned off, the glow emanating from these strips is pretty bright! Colors are also surprisingly vibrant and don't leave me craving more saturation. To be honest, the installation is pretty easy. A lot of different connectors are included in the kit to connect the strips together, although I haven't really used them other than the standard connectors. Just choose where you want to mount them, make sure you have enough room for the USB cable to go where it plugs in, then peel off the adhesive backing and stick! They are not as flexible as we would like. This is a subjective disadvantage, since not everyone has to go around the corner with it. If you're mounting it on the back of a TV or computer monitor, you're bound to have corner issues, just like me. Because they sit on the back of the screen, going around the corner creates a little 'bunch' that can't stick to anything and lay flat due to the way you fold it. But that doesn't matter because they still work. Although, to be honest, the adhesive backing on them leaves a lot to be desired. It's certainly not the worst thing I've ever worked with, but there are sections of strips that keep wanting to come loose. So far, none of them have fallen off the back of the monitor, but it's worth noting. This is an easy fix if you have a problem as you can just buy a roll of 3M or Scotch brand tape and stick it on the problem areas to help them stick. Overall I'm happy with it! They do what I want and they do it pretty well, to say the least. I definitely recommend them if you want to add LED lighting to the back of your TV or computer monitor. I'm sure there are many other uses for these particular strips.

Pros
