Set up of the Govee Immersion backlights was very straightforward. I benefitted from watching several YouTube videos and had the 4 LED strips affixed to the back of my 60-inch TV in about 20 minutes. The adhesive that's on the strips themselves is fairly forgiving and I was able to make minute adjustments to get everything aligned just right.

The music mode is very entertaining and my favorite effect is "rolling". The microphone easily picked up the beat in louder songs and even picked up voices in the room on the quieter songs. I'm very happy with the music mode.

Video mode is another story. I've been using "part" video mode, which is supposed to use the Govee camera to detect what colors are at the edge of the TV screen and then project those colors in the appropriate areas behind and around the screen. Several reviewers recommended turning the saturation down, which does provide more realistic colors (otherwise, you typically end up with a very bright, rich color projection... that rarely matches anything being displayed on your screen). However, even with the saturation at about 20%, I have noticed that colors that are actually displaying at the top of my TV screen are projected at the BOTTOM of my TV. I re-calibrated the Govee lights 5 times and still witnessed this phenomenon. I also triple-checked my setup to make sure I had correctly indicated which way my lights were mounted on the back of my TV: counter-clockwise or clockwise. I mounted the camera at the top of the TV, looking down, thinking that dust and ambient light from overhead light sources might affect the Govee accuracy if I had mounted the camera on the bottom of the TV, looking up.

Overall, I'm really happy with my purchase. The LEDs are a really fun addition to playing music via my TV and console. I also enjoy the way the colors sort-of match what's on my screen when I watch content on my TV. Do the lights accurately reproduce what's on the screen, color-and-location-wise? Not really. But, for the price and because... it's a TV and not a Cadillac... these lights are totally fine.

I've included images of the camera calibration set up process + a video in which you may notice colors being projected below the TV that actually appear in the upper part of the content on the TV.
