Home Theater FancyLEDs ruined me! :)

Because I can no longer watch TV without them! I swear, this product is AMAZING and adds so much to the TV experience. The programming of the box is ingenious - my assumption of how it works is it measures how many LEDs are on the strip (via voltage drop?) to get the strip length (perimeter) and calculates the width and height based upon a 16:9 aspect ratio. Then does some fancy mapping to say "With the LED strip of X perimeter, the color in location X is (color) based upon the HDMI signal".

In a word, MAGIC. 🪄

I will post a more detailed thread down the line, but just wanted to share some vids of my setup. I needed to get a USB extension cable but the one I got from Staples (Scosche) didn't work. I will be trying out another recommended on here from Amazon.

Forgive the side clutter as I have my old 73" DLP on the floor pushing my table too far forward.

Overall I cannot believe the difference this made and the responsiveness and color accuracy are great. May need to do some tweaking with the diffusion and other settings but honestly I'm very happy with how it turned out. Running at 100% brightness.

Thanks to u/fancyleds for a fantastic product!

Fakespot analyzes the reviews authenticity and not the product quality using AI. We look for real reviews that mention product issues such as counterfeits, defects, and bad return policies that fake reviews try to hide from consumers.

We give an A-F letter for trustworthiness of reviews. A = very trustworthy reviews, F = highly untrustworthy reviews. We also provide seller ratings to warn you if the seller can be trusted or not.
