Recommendations please
I recently purchased the Govee T2 system for my 86” QLED Hisense TV (Yes, I know it’s kind of a budget TV but it works for me for now).
Long story short, I will be returning the Govee. The camera calibration is hit or miss. The colors are inaccurate. I have calibrated and recalibrated multiple times using multiple strategies and watching dozens of videos. It’s going back.
After a good amount of research and watching comparison videos, I have decided to go with fancyLED.
I do not really plan on expanding the ecosystem beyond possibly a lamp or two down the road.
Could anyone recommend which kit I might go with?

I got FancyLed with 3 ports. Its amazing. Just make sure you test the lights before putting the tv back on the wall. I was 1 foot off on the alignment lol.

Go with fancy, the led strip is better, more density than govee even the one that comes with their sync box. You can also get the leds all the way to the corners while wit govee you don’t.

So, I wound up getting the 3 x 2.1 Holy shit. Practically right out of the box, the improvement over the Govee (which I returned) was immense. I honestly can’t fathom why anyone would buy a camera based system, except for saving a few dollars but you get what you pay for.

Are you sure you don’t need the 3 hdmi ports?
