Nanoleaf 4D Screen Mirror Lightstrip Review
Nanoleaf isn’t new to the RGB lighting scene; they have been producing RGB bulbs, light strips, and wall panel kits for a decade. They are now expanding into the category of screen mirroring with the Nanoleaf 4D Screen Mirror Camera and Lightstrip Kit (we’ll refer to it as Nanoleaf 4D or 4D kit going forward).

The camera captures the colors on your screen and then sends that information to a small controller. The controller processes the input data, which is then used to sync up with an addressable gradient lightstrip that is attached to the back of your TV, effectively expanding the colors beyond your screen to add additional
