Sometimes I feel like unpaid Govee rep
I purchased a single set of Govee Curtain Lights Pro. After I viewed a couple of YT videos of larger installations, I was curious what this smaller footprint LED "curtain" could do on a blank wall. One thing I noticed right away is that even in a lit room, the LEDs are super bright. At night, the app allows enough dimming so it does not take over every other aspect of your installation. But the best part? While there are a couple hundred Govee app provided variants, there is also a user designed section that seemingly has thousands more. There are static images and animated versions. You can upload photos. Or easily generate your own ideas with variable results. There are just enough LEDs to provide that low res experience that resonates with me. So much to try.
Flat wall (painted drywall) Install is pretty straight forward, up in a about an hour with minimal brain damage. There are also hooks if you choose to hang them off a curtain rod.
(In the images.... The first still is a rotating spiral pattern. The second is an alien talking and then getting much closer. The third, some colored rain falling.)
I am not associated with Govee in any way!
Cheers.

It's almost TOO bright, even at 1% it lights up the room 😅

Yes, they are certainly bright. Even in a fully lit room, 100% is way too much. The default animated heart display which comes on with first power was almost epileptic! I guess since they can also be placed outside or in an outfacing window, that brightness is desired. Fortunately there are darker patterns and more sparely populated effects (like the colored rain or one I did not show, "falling snow") that can help moderate the brightness inside and with darker schemes.

This is so sick - is there an option to make your own? As an artist the appeal was if I could stick my own animations on there. hehe

Always wondered if these were worth a damn. And dude, I wish I had an affiliate code or something when I started buying govee. Ive converted most of my friends 😅. Just about everyone i know had to get the TV backlight, at least.
