I could still rig the kit in a way for it to work but this made me wish that Govee made an option for smaller screens/laptops. Unfortunately for the purposes of this test, I did not have access to a widescreen monitor but only to my gaming laptop. To assist you in this task, the company has a handy video to adjust colour accuracy: These add to the finicky set up process but are needed if you want to achieve the best colour-syncing effect.
DREAMVIEW STUDIOS MANUAL
But in some cases, you’ll need to perform some manual adjustments in cases of a reflective desk or external lighting sources. If the colour sync seems off, you can adjust it via the Govee Home app. This helps make the kit more versatile and suitable for your living room, if you so wish.
DREAMVIEW STUDIOS MOVIE
It’s quite impressive when it works and can help add a degree of immersiveness to your gaming experience or at the very least, it does add a layer of fun to your setup.Īside from the gaming modes, there’s also a movie mode that adopts softer colours that aren’t too distracting when syncing colours in real-time. There are 4 modes that the kit can adopt (story, action, shoot, and racing), each with a different behaviour.
DREAMVIEW STUDIOS PRO
What sets the DreamView G1 Pro apart is the integration of the camera that detects on-screen colours to sync the LEDs to. So far, these features are also what are present in Govee’s other products like the Neon Rope Lights or Glide Wall Lights. Best be to only affix the camera (or apply the tape to the back of your monitor) after the calibration has been done. If you’ve misplaced it, you might not get the desired effect and need to start over. What’s daunting about it is that you have to stick the camera with the included double-sided tape to the back of your monitor. This is done through the Govee Home app which allows you to see what the camera sees. You’ll have to use the included calibration foam to correctly match the camera’s fish-eye lens with the position points. The daunting part comes with calibrating the camera. Thankfully, Govee has a video to help you with the process: The LED strip then needs to be clipped on in an anti-clockwise manner, so you’ll need to bear this in mind while setting the kit up. You’ll have to attach the adhesive mounting clips to the back of your monitor and the included positioning card will help you with that. While at first glance the set up process might appear easy, in practice it can be finicky or even daunting. In both cases, the casing has a matte finish to shield the lighting effect so that it is not blinding and feels more gentle to the eye. They are also noticeably light as is the LED strip.Īs for the LEDs themselves, they are safely encased in a flexible silicon tubing in the light strip and a rigid plastic casing in the light bars. The two lighting stands bear a sleek, minimal look and have a rubberised base for better grip as well as to not scratch/damage your desk. Priced at $180, you will get the following items out of the box:Īs with Govee’s other products, the DreamView G1 Pro bears the build quality that accompanies the price. But it does not end there as this lighting kit comes with a “gaming camera” that syncs the LEDs’ colours to that of on-screen ones, in real-time. Compatible with 24-30 inch monitors, it comes with an RGB LED strip that wraps at the back of your monitor and two side RGB bars to be placed on either side of the screen. Govee just launched its new smart lighting kit dedicated for the gaming audience: the Govee DreamView G1 Pro.
