Please Note : I received this product in return for me unbiased opinion and impartial review.I've used these types of led strip lights a few times now. The one thing they all have in common is that they do add atmosphere to the program you're watching. This one is a little different in a couple of aspects. First of all, this sticks really well to the back of the (very dusty!) tv. I didn't get it in the right place first time, so had to remove and replace, but it went back on with no problem. Secondly, there are more functions for you to use. More of that later.The lights are very bright and I do think it's a matter of trial and error as to what your favourite colour will be. For me, I like either a purple or a neon green, dependant on what I'm watching. For example, the green works really well when watching football or anything or golf due to the grass, I think. The purple I like is good with films. Watching some Star Wars stuff it worked really well, as did Harry Potter.The remote is good for changing through your colour palette and operating the functions, but I don't think the lights can be operated properly without it. The music sync is good fun, but as an old codger, I won't be using it. My kids, on the other hand, love it, especially as they watch everything with the curtains closed, evening during the day!You know if you're in the market for this product, and I would wholeheartedly recommend it to you.
