    Look out for govee update probably coming in about 2-3weeks.. New update will be version 4.2... The update will fix the issue of not being able to have the light bars not syncing up to what colors are on the tv, rather they are coming at the same color both sides.. Now they will be independent on each side of the color flow..

    I would put the light bars behind the monitor and then point them outwards a bit. That way you would still get the nice lighting without having the light bars in the way.

    ..so you are saying that I cannot choose multiple colors, like one of the color schemes offered, and apply it to the light bar?? …only one color at a time? Can a person change the colors within the scenes? So frustrated with this app. Why are they showing a vast multitude of color pallets to choose from if these cannot be applied? Only one color at a time. The color wheel takes care of that.

      @@GeekStreet Thank you So Much for your email answer. Got DIY figured out! One more question that is baffling me.....in "Effects Lab" there are over 100 color schemes and app says "tap to apply and hold to add to My Color." No + sign here. It will apply a single color to a light bar, but when I hold and it says "saved successfully", these colors are NOT showing up under My Color. Where are they? My biggest question is why are there are over 100 color schemes that cannot be applied to the light bars, but only one color at a time? What's the point???? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you many times over for your generous time.
