Something Similar to LightPack for My Monitor

0burntrice0 on 16/01/2017 - 11:07

Hey all,

I was wanting to find something that is similar to the 'LightPack' that has a dynamic light behind a TV/Monitor

I was looking for one that changes depending on each side of the monitor, (unlike the, one colour for the whole monitor)

Has anyone else had any experience with this?

Cheers

I'm not sure I understand what you are after. What does the light pack not do that you want it to do?

  The main thing I didn't like is that it costs $230+ USD for their cheapest pack, I was hoping someone else had any other suggestions.
  
  I saw a few like DreamScreen and another LightPack off-brand thing although if anything goes wrong I would be needing to ship to and from USA.

    I backed Lightpack in their kickstarter, so it's not something I've really looked into, but I think you can probably make your own reasonably easily with Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
    
    Lightpack was an all in one solution for idiots like me, so the price is higher.

      I was thinking about getting a 'DreamScreen' as it seems reasonably priced for my TV (connected using HDMI to my PC) and for my gaming monitor I was thinking of making one with an Arduino.
      
      Have you found the lightpack to be pretty good?
