I can't think of anything bad to say about this light strip. There are plenty of brightness settings, lots of color choices and the lights power on and off when I turn my TV on and Off so I don't have to use the separate remote. With the 16.4 length option I had more than enough to cover the outer edge of my 65" TV. Since I am essentially using them for BIAS lighting I can't say I notice any flicker at all as I'm never looking directly at the light source.
Installation is easy if you are familiar with the process. The adhesion is good, making 45 degree corners can be a little tricky if you've never used this type of light strip before , I highly recommend you get an idea of how you want to lay out the lighting before you start pulling back the tape that covers the adhesive, and then when you start sticking it on just pull the tape back as you go. That or get some plastic led strip clips and don't even pull off the tape or deal with the adhesive.
I've had issues with other USB light strips not being able to reach their full brightness due to power limitations on the TV, but I can crank this one all the way up with no problem.
I use my TV in a very dark space, and I find that for me personally the default blue setting at about 50% power really helps reduce eye strain without being a distraction. That said there is a lot of color customizing you can do if you're looking for a very specific color.
The only thing worth mentioning is that whole these types of lights have a setting for White light, they really don't produce anything close to a natural white like from a light bulb, they also don't have any setting that looks like a true warm ambient light. That is no an issue with this product specifically, but with all similar light strip. So if you're looking for white , soft white, or a warm light look you need to look at a completely different type of product.
The attached pictures show the lowest and highest brightness as well as how the strip fits the back of the TV.
