We stuck these behind our monitor on a Friday night and spent the next hour playing with scenes. The multicolor effect is way better than the older single color strips, you can get real gradient washes and chase effects that look actually cool, not like a kids bedroom.

Screen sync works by plugging in the included camera that reads your monitor. It’s accurate enough to bounce colors when theres an explosion in a game or a bright scene in a movie. The music react mode is fun at parties but we leave ours on the “Ocean” scene 90 percent of the time. Install took us maybe 10 minutes.
