Review on πŸ”† Antec Bias Lighting for HDTV: Reduce Eye Fatigue & Enhance Image Clarity with 51.1-Inch Cable by Nicholas Lim

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does what I wanted but now I have to turn it on and off manually

So I bought it as a backlight for TV and movies. Installation was easy and seems like it will stay in place for a while (used glue to slide it over the back of my TV). Connected to the USB port of the TV, switched on - great! However, when I turned off the TV, the light stayed on. I thought my TV's USB port would only supply power when the TV was on - wrong! Some TVs have a USB power management switch, unfortunately I don't have one. My USB port gets power as long as the TV is connected. So now I have to manually turn offset highlighting on and off if I want to use it. Not what I was hoping for but not the fault of the world. I might plug this into a Wi-Fi outlet (using a USB power adapter) so I can control the lights over my smart home network.

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Not trendy
