£89.99 (up to 65-inch) / £119.99 (up to 85-inch) FROM nanoleaf.me/en-GB FEATURES Addressable Gradient Lightstrip, Screen Mirror Camera with magnetic privacy cover, Nanoleaf 4D controller, 2.4GHz 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, HomeKit compatible
The effect is pleasing and fun, and does everything you'd expect an Ambilight TV to do.
Back in 2004, Philips wowed TV B watchers with Ambilight, its first TV equipped with a rear-mounted light strip. The TV claimed to produce a more immersive viewing experience by splashing colours on the wall behind it to echo those on screen. The effect was also said to reduce eye-strain. Philips has continued to iterate on that idea ever since, with its latest Ambilight TV line-up starting at 65 inches and costing from £599.99. Philips says it has more than 10 million Ambilight 'lovers' worldwide.
While Ambilight is a lot of fun, it's hardly essential, especially when it means having to buy a whole new television in order to take advantage of it. However, smart-lighting geniuses Nanoleaf have come up with a better way... Nanoleaf 4D takes the Philips Ambilight idea and runs with it, enabling anyone with a television (i.e. almost all of us) to achieve a similar effect with minimal outlay. To that end, it has created two Nanoleaf 4D kits - one at £89.99 for TVs with screens up to 65 inches and one at £119.99 for screens up to 85 inches.
In the box, you'll find Nanoleaf's first addressable light strip, which comprises a string of LED lights (10 per metre) with an adhesive back, a black Screen Mirror Camera and a matching Nanoleaf 4D controller. Also included in the kit are four corner pieces for the rear of your TV, plus all the cables you need.
