Nanoleaf4D - TV LED Backlight with Camera, TV Backlight Sync to Screen, Smart Addressable Gradient Lightstrip Kit, App & Voice Control, Trimmable for Home Decor & Gaming (Up to 85" TVs and Monitors)

I recently moved into a new place and decided that I wanted to upgrade my entertainment setup for the monthly movie marathons I host. I’m not exactly a techy person, so I looked for some inspiration on Pinterest and found a whole bunch of photos of Nanoleaf products. I was interested in the wall mounted lights but I have my TV in an entertainment centre so there’s not much space around it, so I browsed their other products and thought that Nanoleaf 4D looked perfect – and it is. Personally, I’m really happy with this product. I found it easy enough to set up and install – I get easily flustered and frustrated when it comes to cables and connectors, but I didn’t have any trouble with installing everything and I liked that I was able to trim the light strip to make it fit my TV perfectly. One thing I will note is that I use a lot of command strips and double-sided tape for things around my apartment, so based on prior experience I made sure to wipe down the back of my TV with a microfiber towel with a tiny bit of rubbing alcohol on it to clean the surface and ensure a good bond for the corner bracket and light strip tape and I haven’t noticed any issues with peeling yet. As for as the experience after setting it up, I really love how the Nanoleaf lights look and it has been an absolute game changer for my movie nights. When I was first considering putting LED lights behind my TV, I was worried that it would look like a laser light show (especially considering my entertainment centre is white and slightly reflective), but it has been the exact opposite. These lights are bright enough that the backlighting spills out into the room, but not so bright that it takes attention away from the screen. I love that I can turn off all the lights in my apartment and the lights provide the perfect amount of ambient lighting to significantly reduce eye strain and allow my guests and I to still see each other and the snack table. The lighting is also just stunning visually, the screen mirroring feature works great and makes this cool 4D effect which, paired with my new speakers, creates a really immersive experience and brings the movies to life, it feels like the colors and light from my TV are extending out like an aura behind it. Another thing I really like is that the package comes with a privacy cover. Overall, I think that this product is a winner, even for someone who is not too tech-savvy like me, and it has definitely taken my movie nights to the next level.

After struggling to adhere the lights to my tv, seriously the adhesive on the light strips is terrible, I attempted to pair with the device from the app. Followed the instructions, ensured my phone has the correct version of software, watched their video on YouTube and reviewed further instructions on Nanoleafs website. No dice, the app cannot find the device and endlessly searches for it. I connected with Nanoleaf helpdesk, and they provided instruction for a soft reset of the device. No luck. I sent a video to them to verify I was performing the simple instruction of simultaneously pushing the power and color buttons (hand to send multiple as the helpdesk individual did not believe me I was pushing the buttons at the same time....). They asked for device information and left me hanging. This is absolutely absurd. Do not buy this product.

I’m copying this over from a review I left for the other size for this but my experience between the two are identical… anyways-This is an AMAZING concept. But boy does this thing have issues.I want to start this off by saying I love Nanoleaf and their products but sometimes their stuff just doesn’t cut it. This is one of those things.The thing is, it does work, but not very well. This works GREAT when what you’re watching is a colorful cartoony video. But anytime whites, grays, or darker colors are displayed, this thing falls apart. The white balance correction feature cannot fix gray outputs to save its life. Browns are basically just orange and the edges of color segments on the strip look green on the wall behind the TV due to the “lens” over the strip which distorts white color outputs.The app for it is okay, the setup is also okay but adjusting the edges of the screen is infuriating because the camera’s wide angle and position of it can’t be boiled down to six points on a tv which is all they give you during setup. It should have been more curved to better setup or just given you the option to draw in the edges of the screen.The camera itself is low quality garbage. The stand for it broke in literally one day. I didn’t even touch mine and the plastic attachment to adjust the angle just broke off. I think the magnets for it slammed it shut and broke the piece which means it’s just bad quality.The other issue with this is that the segmented sections for the strip are too long. The only way to get truly accurate representations for what’s on the screen and bleed it out is for it to be segmented much, MUCH smaller. Right now it’s every 3 LEDs and while that might seem okay it really should’ve been 2 or ideally 1.The other issue is that the strip is too thick. That would normally be okay but for this strip’s particular application, it needed to be much thinner so you could adjust it to contour the TV better. Having it this thick makes it very difficult to attach to the TV and going around corners is impossible even with the provided corner “adapters.”I wouldn’t say this is a bad product, but it needs to be heavily revised in order for it to be perfect.Ideally:-The strip needs to have an opaque film to get rid of the green edge problem. The clear “lens” over the LEDs gives off a green edge to whites or certain colors on the wall behind the TV. Or they could just get rid of the “lens” altogether?-The strip needs to be thinner to better contour the tv or be flexible.-The RGBIC segments need to be smaller. It’s not small enough to accurately display small details in the picture-The camera needs to be higher quality both in the camera sensor itself and the quality of the plastics-The app needs more adjustment points to capture the TV’s display. Not just 6 points.Overall it’s okay. I wouldn’t recommend it just yet and for what it is, it’s fairly pricey. It’s bright enough though to be a great bias lighting behind a TV but the strip is too thick and the adhesive isn’t strong enough to go around a TV all that well. It only works great with very vivid and colorful pictures, otherwise it just doesn’t look great. The response time for it isn’t bad but it isn’t great. An HDMI solution might’ve been quicker but probably would’ve introduced lag for the input devices so it’s a small price to pay.
