What is that running on your ATV?

Raymond Lin · 6 Mar 2013 at 23:59

XBMC.

What skin? That looks much better than mine

Raymond Lin · 7 Mar 2013 at 00:17

Quartz, it's like Apple TV skin.

It can also rotate the colours, the camera picks up the flicker that isn't there in real life.

It is, you just can't see it

Looks nice!

That's what I mean, unnoticed by human eye.

pfft why only 3 strips? looks decent apart from that :/

Raymond Lin · 7 Mar 2013 at 10:14

Wouldn't know where to stick the 4th one if there is one to be honest.

They do an addon pack with three more strips plus connectors for about £15. I got both and have three long strips to go round my 60" set.

Raymond, I presume you can change the brightness on those strips?? Look pretty good, might have to get some for my TV and PC screens. But not sure if to get 2 sets, or 1 set and the extenders.

At least if I get 2 sets, then I can operate them seperately, but my 3 monitors and TV sit next to each other anyway lol

Raymond Lin · 8 Mar 2013 at 10:00

Yup, see the packet? The remote?

2 Top left buttons, they are the brightness controls, up and down next to the On Off buttons, funnily they need one for each.

Bought an alternative off the bay, when they arrive i'll post up some pics. Doesnt help though that there's curtains behind the tv.

monkeyspank · 8 Mar 2013 at 15:56

I got one off ebay but it's 5m long :/ can you cut them?

Too Tall · 8 Mar 2013 at 15:59

You could but you would have to solder on a new connector i'd imagine. I managed to get a set of 4 x 50cm for £32.

Pics when they arrive would be great. I'm still swaying towards the Ikea white ones myself, they seem ideal for what I want but I'm still looking for any alternatives.

Ray I love that, can you let me know what the item number is?

Raymond Lin · 14 Mar 2013 at 13:23

Oh God, I wish I can tell you but i bought it instore so no online payment receipt and threw away all the packaging and receipts now (since it works).

Sorry !

Go instore and show the guys there that photo I put up should work lol

DirtyJester · 14 Mar 2013 at 13:30

Looks good Ray

Might have a go at it too

insane200 · 14 Mar 2013 at 13:42

Raymond, what size tv is that ? it looks really good but mines 47'' so would probably need 1 extra strip.

edit, i see you mentioned its a 40'', do you think it would be enough for an extra 7'' !!

Raymond Lin · 14 Mar 2013 at 13:44

It's a 40" TV. I have one on top and one on each side.
