Have all the RGB lights and excessive gaming gear on your desktop made you long for a simple, pixelated gaming experience? Govee’s latest lighting products, the Gaming Pixel Light and Mini Panel Lights, offer the best (or possibly worst) of both worlds. Pixel Light comes with a modern, spaceship-like aesthetic while containing all fake LED pixels to remind you of the 8-bit era.
Govee’s latest lighting product is clearly tuned for gamers with its wide range of frames and decals. Although the Govee frame includes a 32 by 32 pixel count, it is—thanks to the power of modern LEDs—capable of displaying images with a color palette that is very different from the traditional NES game. It has over 150 preset “scenes”, including a clock or weather display. The framework supports still images and GIFs up to 30 FPS, which you can create and edit through the app.
If you’ve seen Divoom’s slate of pixel art speakers and wall art, you’re probably feeling deja vu. Divoom’s products, such as the Timebox Evo and the 64 by 64-pixel silent wall panel, include creating your own pixel art and animations and setting them to music. What sets the Govee box apart is the sci-fi-aesthetic framework that might be more at home in a desktop setting than others. You can also use Govee’s In-app to quickly generate pixel art, although it takes so little effort to create 32-by-32-pixel pixel art that you may ignore the AI’s capabilities entirely.
Even better, you can connect the frame to the Govee HDMI 2.1 Sync Box and the Govee app. This allows you to stream the visuals of your on-screen game to the Gaming Pixel Light, displaying your detailed 3D gameplay in pseudo 2D pixel art fashion. Govee said its Gaming Pixel Light will also detect music played through its speakers and change visuals based on the beat and rhythm of the music.
Govee said the Gaming Pixel Light will be available sometime in Q2 this year.
