Nanoleaf's New 4D V2 Brings Zigzag Design and Better Colors to TV Backlighting

Nanoleaf this week announced the launch of the 4D V2, a product that's designed to provide ambient lighting that matches the colors on your TV set. The second version of the Screen Mirror and Lightstrip Kit offers more accurate screen mirroring for a more engaging viewing experience.

The Nanoleaf 4D V2 has a redesigned zigzag lightstrip that makes it easier to install on a TV set that's up to 65 inches. The lightstrip is able to wrap around the entire display, and there is no need for corner brackets due to the design. The lightstrip can be trimmed to fit any size screen.

The lightstrip pairs with a camera that analyzes the colors on the screen so the lightstrip can change colors to match instantly. Nanoleaf says that the 4D V2 offers improved color accuracy for vivid colors and bright whites that bring the screen to life with a glow. For music, there's a Rhythm feature that turns the 4D into a sound-reactive audio-visual experience where lights pulse to the beat of the music.

The 4D V2 kit is able to pair up with other Nanoleaf lamps for a unified lighting experience that mirrors what's on the TV, plus the product offers different levels of color variance. Nanoleaf's new product can be controlled with the Nanoleaf app, but it also integrates into HomeKit.

Nanoleaf's 4D V2 can be ordered from the Nanoleaf website for $100.

Who in their right mind, other than iJustine, random “influencers” or a bordello owner, would ever buy such horribly tacky nanoleaf lights?

It makes it immersive.
It can actually have the opposite effect, because the surrounding color distorts the perception of the actual movie frame and can detract from its detailed contents. The distribution of colors and the picture composition is distorted, and movement outside the frame detracts from its contents. It’s similar to how a brightly lit movie theater with mirror walls is less immersive than a dark movie theater.

It belongs in your freshman college dorm. And then it belongs in a box after first year, as you intended to use it again after your freshman year, but never getting the chance because your frat house doesn't have a place for it. And then it belongs in that box in your garage in the house you buy after graduation, but never get around to it because you're busy with life stuff. And then it belongs in the possession of your middle-age children as they go through your old stuff after you die, and they find it in that box with some complete useless Mac stuff, and they look at the strip of LEDs and the little camera, and they wonder what kind of crazy sh*t you were up to in college.

I think these look amazing ...in a YouTuber's studio. I can't say that I see the appeal myself on a day to day basis. It makes for a great photo but I think I'd find it all too distracting for my home office setup.

I disagree, but to each their own, I guess. If this is how you feel — this type of product isn't for you, that's all. :)
