Govee Launches TV Backlight 3 With 4MP Dual Camera and Matter Support

The camera-based system offers a lower-cost path to reactive lighting through a design that works across major smart-home apps via Matter.

Overview

  • Govee launched the TV Backlight 3 on Monday, with 55–65 inch and 75–85 inch kits on sale for $109.99 and $139.99.
  • The new model uses an industry-first hybrid glass-plastic dual camera that achieves 4MP resolving power for sharper color capture.
  • AI software divides the picture into 24 zones to match on-screen colors more precisely during movies, shows, and games.
  • High-density 4-in-1 RGBWIC LEDs with a dedicated white channel raise brightness about 20% over the prior generation for smoother transitions.
  • Reporters frame the camera approach as a cheaper alternative to HDMI sync boxes, and the device works with Apple Home, Alexa, Google Home, and SmartThings through Matter.
