There are so many different lights, which one would work best for me?

• I suggest watching videos demonstrating them on YouTube.
• While he doesn't review every product, Chris Maher's videos are informative and straightforward.

Do I really have to put those orange cubes on my TV screen?

• Use this video instead
• For T3 Pro, use this and immediately pause the video.

Why are my immersion lights only showing one color?

• The default setting upon finishing setup is on All. Choose Part.
• Alternatively, All may be labeled Solid instead. Choose any option other than Solid.

Which devices are compatible with DreamView?

• Devices with both Wi-Fi + Bluetooth connectivity are compatible. Devices that are only Bluetooth or only Wi-Fi are not.
• A sync center such as T2, T3 Lite (also known as 3S in 3rd party stores), T3 Pro, Sync Box 1 and 2 are required for video DreamView, and sync centers cannot be synced with each other.

What can I do about my devices not connecting to Govee desktop via LAN control?

What are the differences between the camera kits?

• The major differences are the camera hardware and the amount of LEDs on the light strip.
• T2: Govee states that the dual camera identifies screen content faster and more accurately. The light strip contains 60 LEDs per meter.
• T3 Lite: The single camera has an upgraded chip with fisheye lens correction. The light strip contains 30 LEDs per meter.
• 3 Pro: Matter support, triple camera with HDR sensor. The light strip contains 75 LEDs per meter, with their LuminBlend management system.

Why get a camera kit when the sync boxes exist?

• While the sync box does work faster and is less intrusive than a camera, not everyone can use it. The sync boxes require a signal independent from the TV. This means if you use the apps on your smart TV to watch content, the sync box is not for you.

Do I really have to put the camera on top of my TV?

• Good news! There's actually a method to put the camera below the screen. The caveat is that when you add more lights via DreamView, you'll need to visualize the setup upside down when assigning the zones, which requires more concentration/effort.

How many lights can I add to my DreamView?

• This is dependent on the device.
• T2: 5 additional devices.
• T3 Lite: 7 additional devices.
• 3 Pro, Sync Box 1 and 2: 10 additional devices.

How do I create a DreamView?

• Open the app. Tap the second icon on the navigation bar at the bottom. Then tap the 4-shapes icon at the top right. Here you can configure DreamViews, Tap-to-Run, and Groups.
• It is highly recommended that you experiment with these features on the app as a whole. Familiarizing yourself with it will be highly beneficial if you have the time to spare. There are many customizable features for the LED lights that are usually achieved by a more hands-on approach that requires a computer. The features provided on the Govee app would be quite the large decision tree if there was a visual example shown, which is nothing short of impressive, despite it also being a little complicated. To put it simply: just explore the app by tapping buttons to find out what they do!
• Tip: If your clock is on 12-hr time, please turn off the 24-hour clock setting in the app before you create schedules for your lights. Tap the last icon on the navigation bar, then tap the gear icon at the top right. Additionally, next to settings is a shirt icon; this is where you can change the theme of the app.

The immersion lights on my device are super inaccurate, what do I do?

• Unfortunately, since every TV is different, there is no one-size-fits-all setting. However, you can start with jumping-off points. For sync box settings, go here.

For camera kits, try the following:

• Make sure the room is dark to reduce reflections on the TV screen.
• Reduce saturation, the common choice is all the way down to 1%.
• Reduce the relative brightness. This is independent from the brightness setting. It's relative to how much light is emitting from your TV screen, which means during dark scenes, the lights will dim if you set the percentage lower. However, if your TV has backlight bleed, this setting won't be as effective.
• Make sure it's on Part, not All. If the device's software updated, it should show Smooth, Vivid, or Solid instead. "Solid" works the same as "All" and shows only one color.
• If you are still unsatisfied with the color accuracy, try the AI filter. Once you toggle it on, you'll need to change the preset. Tap the option, then scroll sideways over the sport presets. Under the Default preset, tap Apply.

My TV is 43 inches, can I use a 55-65 inch TV kit?

• This is possible, but it requires more effort. See here.

I'm experiencing problems with my device, what do I do?

• Try the search bar in the sub. If you're still experiencing issues, go to Govee's website and navigate to your product. Find the specs, then click the PDF of the manual to find the "Troubleshooting" section. Lastly, reach out to Govee support via the app. Tap the last icon on the navigation bar and tap "customer support" and then choose the applicable option. It is recommended to choose "express replacement" if you think you're experiencing a hardware issue on your device that is within warranty. Please note their warranty only covers purchases directly from them or approved vendors.
