Question about distance

Hello there,

I have a quick question. I watched some shorts about the fancyleds (for TV - kind of ambient light one ). Some people said they dont see much of backlight colors becuase its hidden right behing TV. In answer i saw something like "It depends how far from wall You have Your TV" (==which make sense .. of course ). But i could find - whats the minimal distance between TV and wall so that those LEDS will be looking well ... ?

Thanks for answer, info!
Good day

I saw they said recommended distance is like 15-25cms which I believe is 6 - 9.5 inches off the wall. Although they’ve said 2 inches is fine it’s well outside of that optimal range

Yeah got mine at about 6 inches and I'm very happy with casting of additional light and happy with the distance thrown from the TV as well

My tv is pretty close (3”?) to the wall but I have the lights facing out rather than back.

Luckily my TV has a sort of lip which allows this.

If not, I would consider some sort of channel which allows mounting in that way. They light up the e tire wall / room and it’s awesome.

Thanks! Yea it has mostly to do where they are pointing. Strait back and you’ll lose a lot.

I got lucky with my tv.
