They usually have a mark where you can can them. Lots of bias lighting options B&M also pretty cheap, ikea also.

Would you like me to type that into Google for you? Search engines are very hard and complicated after all, will give you a head start
Look for govee

per the other recent thread ,
I'm planning on getting a higher quality / CRI white dimmable light @6500K rather than any coloured variants (hue etc. which can make tv picture colours look wrong)
like https://www.amazon.co.uk/LX1-Lighting-Simulated-Lights-Inline/dp/B08W87TT5T

The one is too warm in colour temperature

Yes, that's the white light it has in addition to RGB. You can get a cold LED version instead.
Yes Ive seen govee, but wasnt keen on this sensor protruding from the top (already have a light bar across the top of my monitor).
Thank you for your assistance to help my googling skills

You only get the pack with the sensor if you want a cheap ambilight effect, normal govee works fine (it's what I have, though I should have gotten a larger kit for my 65")Yes Ive seen govee, but wasnt keen on this sensor protruding from the top (already have a light bar across the top of my monitor).

If they are the "play" addressable light strip then no you can't cut them down, they are sized to fit from bottom left of the rear of the TV around the top and so on to the bottom right, there is a little triangle on the strip which should then be at tdc of the TV as it's accurate to the colour on screen you can't cut or adjust it.
I have the 65" play strip along with 3 play bars below the tv (behind a low av cabinet pointing upwards) coupled with the hue sync box, it's awesome during movie night, brightness wise it's about 30% otherwise it's too bright. At all other times just the light strip is on behind the TV at about 15% brightness running a hue multi theme (colour run) at a slow speed.
Stupidly expensive but bloody gorgeous.
Just re-read your op, I think your looking at the wrong hue strips the TV sized ones are play strips designed for use ideally with the sync box. The other type are 2mt and non addressable. These are on offer on the hue site at around 55 pound at the moment, you will also need a hue bridge to use them properly

I have or had the Philips Hue strip, they work great. Until I got a Philips OLED with the light strip built in which reacts to the image on screen, then it's at another level, that feature is worth like £100 alone!
(Or you can turn off the reacting and keep it constant)

I just bought a cheap set off Amazon for a 42" TV, RGB including three different types of white. Works great in the consveratory think it cost me £14.95

Shame Dreamscreen got swolled up Philips and then made to dissappear, didn't like the competition. I have the 4k version, works really well, no stupid camera over the tv

I use a LIFX strip

True, everything goes through my AV, then into the dreamscreen
