One of the most transformative things you can do to improve the look of your gaming setup is to add a backlighting kit. Whether you’re watching a movie or playing video games, dynamic lighting gives the whole area a massive visual overhaul. Right now at Amazon, Govee’s AI Gaming Sync Box Kit is on sale for $74.99 — a huge discount off its normal $200 retail price.

Govee AI Gaming Sync Box Kit for $74.99
On the most basic level, what this kit does is take whatever colors are on your screen and project them onto the wall behind the display, be it a TV or gaming monitor. It does this by grabbing the color information from your HDMI cable and processing it with real-time. With compatible games (including League of Legends, Overwatch 2, Fortnight, Call of Duty, and more), the lighting system can even respond to specific in-game actions, like selecting a character or eliminating an enemy.
The Govee kit lets you connect up to three HDMI 2.0 devices, including a PS5, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, or PC. It comes with an HDMI box, two light bars, a light strip, two HDMI cables, and more items. Because this setup involves HDMI passthrough, it should be noted that it supports up to 240Hz at 1080p, plus 144Hz 2K & 60Hz 4K. And the company says the included light strip is suitable for monitors between 27 and 34 inches.
