Here are some examples of traditional, smart, and adaptive bias lights for your home worth looking at.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whats_Bias_Lighting\"><\/span>What\u2019s Bias Lighting?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Never heard of bias lighting? There\u2019s no time like the present to learn about the eye-fatigue-preventing lighting style. For a deep dive into the topic, including tips on lighting placement and color temperature, do check out our guide to bias lighting.<\/p>\n<p>In short, though, bias lias lighting at its most basic is simply a relatively dim light source placed behind a computer monitor, TV screen, or even around a projection screen in a home theater, that introduces a small amount of indirect light into the environment without directly shining it into the viewer\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n<p>That small amount of light helps your eyes work better and with less strain, both increasing your comfort as well as creating better contrast on the screen. And, when you get into the fancier bias lights, you\u2019ll even find neat features like adaptive lighting that syncs up with the content on the screen for a real wow factor.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traditional_Bias_Lighting_Simple_White_for_Simple_Comfort\"><\/span>Traditional Bias Lighting: Simple White for Simple Comfort<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The most basic form of bias lighting is simply a white light of some kind, preferably 6500K in lighting temperature, placed behind the display. If your TV sits at an angle in the corner that light could be as simple as a 6500k LED bulb shining at the wall, but more traditional along-the-wall placement requires something slimmer like an LED s<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the ever plummeting cost of LEDs though it\u2019s cheaper than ever to add some LED bias lighting to your computer monitor or TV. We\u2019d caution you against going <em>too<\/em> cheap, however, because you still want to ensure that the LEDs have good quality control and accurate color temperature.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bias-Lighting-Strip-Lights-Backlight\/dp\/B07ZYCWZL6\/?tag=hotoge-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51LrGbpGhmL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"150px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>A lot of people opt for a simple LED strip like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bias-Lighting-Strip-Lights-Backlight\/dp\/B07ZYCWZL6\/?tag=hotoge-20\">this Hamlite model<\/a>. It has a 6500k color temperature, dedicated white LEDs, and it\u2019s USB powered.<\/p>\n<p>The more advanced options we\u2019re about to look at require always-on power, so if you don\u2019t want to fuss with switches or remotes and just want the lights to turn on when the TV turns on, using the USB port on the back of the TV (or on your computer) is a clever way to link the power state of the lights to the power state of the display.<\/p>\n<p>To get all the functional benefits of bias lighting without any fuss or frills, you really can\u2019t go wrong with a bare-bones white LED strip or a white LED bulb. There are, however, some benefits to moving up to smart home-integrated bias lighting and even adaptive bias lighting.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Bias_Lighting_Hey_Google_Its_Gaming_Time\"><\/span>Smart Bias Lighting: Hey Google, It\u2019s Gaming Time<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-813990 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/BiasLighting2.jpg?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"A computer monitor with smart bias lighting behind it. \" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Govee\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bias lights are great for computer monitors too. <span class=\"imagecredit\">Govee<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While there\u2019s nothing wrong with sticking with the most basic option, mixing in lights with smart home integration offers some perks.<\/p>\n<p>If you have the room set up for any sort of integrations related to watching <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a>, gaming, or similar activities, you can simply add the smart bias lighting into the mix to turn on when it\u2019s movie time or such.<\/p>\n<p>In my house, for instance, you can say \u201cHey Google, it\u2019s movie time\u201d or \u201cgaming time\u201d in any of the rooms with smart bias lighting configured and the Google Home system will automatically adapt all the smart gear in that room for the task.<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the smart bias lighting in ways that aren\u2019t directly related to consuming <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media<\/a> or playing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s.

Adaptive bias lighting syncs up, through various mechanisms, to the content on your display which creates a room-filling color that really does make it feel like the screen is bigger and the action unfolding on it more immersive.<\/p>\n<p>The company that put this style of viewing on the map is Philips, with the introduction of its \u201cAmbilight\u201d system. Ambilight TVs feature an integrated LED strip around the back that remains synced, through the TV hardware itself, with the content of the screen. Once relatively popular, there are <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/redirect.viglink.com\/?key=204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.philips.com.my%2Fc-m-so%2Ftv%2Flatest%23filters%3DFG_SCREENSIZE_TV%253A50%253A75\">very few of the Ambilight TVs on the market<\/a> now and the majority of people enjoying adaptive bias lighting are doing so with third-party solutions added to their existing TVs.<\/p>\n<p>Philips does, however, offer a pricey <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-Hue-Splitter-Colored-Required\/dp\/B09BF23RLG\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Hue Sync Box<\/a> that can be paired with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-Hue-Gradient-LightStrip-Assistant\/dp\/B08HV6V49V\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Hue LED strips<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-White-Color-Ambiance-Double\/dp\/B07GXB3S7Z\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Hue Play Bars<\/a>, or compatible Hue bulbs in general, to turn any TV into an Ambilight TV. The benefit of the Hue box is that it\u2019s a line-level integration with your TV, meaning that the LED strip around the set is getting color data directly from the HDMI signal fed into it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box noflex-desktop \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-Hue-Gradient-LightStrip-Assistant\/dp\/B08HV6V49V\/?tag=hotoge-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41WSpsmc6-L._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"150px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The vast majority of people using this setup are quite happy with it as a result\u2014and if they have any complaints it\u2019s about the steep price, not the end result. The only downside to the Hue Sync Box, besides the price, is that it requires a video input. If you use the apps on your smart TV for all your streaming services, you\u2019ll need to use a streaming device instead to feed the signal into the box.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in the experience without the steep price tag, by the way, you can do it a lot cheaper if you already have Hue products and you\u2019re adding adaptive bias lighting to your computer (or you have an HTPC hooked up to your TV).<\/p>\n<p>Philips has a lightweight application, available for both Windows and macOS, called \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anrdoezrs.net\/links\/3607085\/type\/am\/sid\/813580\/https:\/\/www.philips-hue.com\/en-us\/explore-hue\/propositions\/entertainment\/sync-with-pc\">Hue Sync for PC<\/a>\u201d that effectively turns your computer into the source of the video stream data (no Hue Sync box needed). If you\u2019re already a Hue household and you have some compatible Hue products like the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Philips-White-Color-Ambiance-Double\/dp\/B07GXB3S7Z\/?tag=hotoge-20\">Hue Play Bars<\/a> you just need the free app and you\u2019re in business. I use this setup on my gaming computer and it\u2019s a great way to crank up the in-game immersion.<\/p>\n<p>While Philips might have been first to the market and still has a very impressive product lineup, there is a much more economical alternative\u2014<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08LVPWQQP?tag=hotoge-20\">the Govee DreamView<\/a>. It\u2019s not line-level input and the color matching isn\u2019t as precise, but I own it (and love it) and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/64016\/the-govee-immersion-is-an-excellent-responsive-tv-backlight-for-just-70\/\">we reviewed it over at Review Geek<\/a> and they loved it there too.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08LVPWQQP?tag=hotoge-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51Lg7qZqs1L._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"150px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Instead of a box that intercepts the video signal (or an app on your computer), it uses a camera to monitor the screen in real-time.
