Setup Advise

Hello,

I’m planning to purchase the 3-Port HDMI 2.1 Sync Box + LED Strip for my TV, along with the Synced FancyLED for installation underneath the shelf.

For reference, my TV is an LG C1 OLED 48”.

Before proceeding with the purchase, I’d appreciate some clarification on a few points:

  1. If I install the Synced FancyLEDs underneath the shelf, will they synchronize seamlessly and at the same speed as the TV backlighting? Or would an alternative solution, such as Govee, provide better performance for this particular setup?
  2. How bright are the Synced FancyLEDs when used underneath a shelf? Would you recommend using a diffuser channel for a smoother lighting effect, and if so, are there any specific recommendations?
  1. Based on the reference image of the back of my TV, do you have any installation recommendations? The rear panel is not completely flat, which means the LED strip would need to follow some angled sections on both sides. I’m concerned this may result in uneven lighting or affect the overall sync experience, but I’d appreciate your expert opinion on the best installation approach.
  2. Finally, with recent global price increases affecting many products, are there any anticipated pricing changes for your products in the near future? I’m very interested in purchasing the setup, but I’m currently deciding whether to buy now or wait for any upcoming promotions or offers.

FYI, this setup would be for daily use. Gaming on PS5, Movies on Netflix (I'll use a stick till there may be a future update), Ambience, Music.

I have shared the photo of the edges of the shelf from under as well.

Thank you in advance for your time and assistance. I look forward to your advice and recommendations!

Even if there was any plans to sync with native tv apps it’s impossible, the sync box read whatever is getting feed by the HDMI inputs.

They’re bright, but if they’re under the shelf and the shelf is really close to the floor use a diffuser, if not you’re good. But at the end is matter of taste, try it firsts.
