So we used this to put around the back of our 55 inch tv in the bedroom.  I never knew how much I needed one of these lights until it was put on. lol It gives a great backlighting. I love watching movies in the dark and this light illuminating the dark room behind the tv just give good vibes. It was easy to put up around the tv and easy to plug in to my tv USB port. The remote has lots of different colors to choose from. I chose to randomize the lights so every few seconds its another color. The light strip turns on when I turn on my tv and it turns off about 20 or so seconds after I turn off my tv. I really like this and I would certainly recommend this strip if your looking for a little pick me up for your home theater or entertainment area.
