Govee has officially introduced the TV Backlight 3 to improve ambient lighting in your home theater. This new smart LED strip mounts behind your screen and connects directly to your local network using Matter over Wi-Fi. Obviously, us at MatterDevices.io always appreciate when smart lighting systems integrate directly via standard smart home protocols instead of requiring standalone hubs. The hardware natively supports Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Samsung SmartThings.
Advanced Dual Camera Setup
The system relies on a brand new dual camera setup that sits discreetly on top of your television. Govee equipped this camera with a hybrid glass and plastic lens that captures four megapixels of resolution. This upgraded optical hardware provides significantly clearer edge detection and improved color accuracy compared to older models.
A specialized infrared filter specifically targets the red spectrum to help the system recreate warm colors like fires and sunsets accurately. The onboard artificial intelligence divides the screen into 24 distinct zones to match the exact colors displayed in different areas of the picture.
Upgraded Brightness and Hardware
The physical light strip also received major hardware improvements for this generation. Govee packed 60 individual LEDs into every meter of the strip. Each node utilizes a dedicated white light channel alongside the standard color options to create deeper and more natural shades. The manufacturer states this design makes the new strip roughly 20 percent brighter than previous versions. The system also includes software calibration tools to maintain consistent colors across different brightness levels.
DreamView Sync and Availability
Users can synchronize the new backlight with up to ten other compatible smart lights using the native DreamView application. Installation requires zero tools thanks to a heat resistant adhesive backing.
You can purchase the new ambient lighting system right now through Amazon or the official Govee website. The standard model for 55 to 65 inch screens costs roughly 110 dollars. The larger version built for 75 to 85 inch televisions is available for roughly 140 dollars.
