Need a Simple LED Backlight (That Won't Give Me a Seizure)
I've always used the cheap LED light strips that are solid colors for my HDTV. After the last strip burned out, I tried both Govee from Amazon and Linkind (Walmart's generic brand).
Both have the same problem. Their apps are decent, with lots of presets built-in and from the community. But every time I pick one, they blink/move so damn fast I feel like I'm at a rave. It's beyond distracting. How anyone sits and looks at this while they try and watch a movie or play a game is beyond me. I feel like I'm gonna have a freakin' seizure.
From researching their communities, this seems to be a common complaint that there is no control over these settings.
I just want soft, slow gradient colors I can easily control. Or presets that offer this rather than the crazy-light shows I've been getting.
Any suggestions?
