I read that this type of lighting should be applied around the entire perimeter of the tv but most comments here indicate that a single strip is used?

sorry i'm late to respond but all you need is the one strip in the back about a 1/4 of the way down your not lighting a walkway your just taking the strain off your eye's that happen's when you watch in the dark you still get that dark room felling though

I bent the strip in two spots, running it across the top and down the sides of the TV, thus illuminating along the perimeter. With a larger TV, you may need to play with placement, but you should be able to achieve the same result.

It would really depend on the lighting effect you desire. Around the entire tv would give it an even and very bright light, but one strip was more than sufficient for what I wanted. Without a dimmer control, that would be too much room for my taste as I like to use it in a dark room. Best advice I can give is try using a similar light source, maybe an led flashlight, and play with the placement. I actually mounted mine below the tv onto the cabinet it sits on.

I only noticed it because I was looking for it due to reading other people's comments. Mostly I just leave a different lamp on that doesn't reflect from where I usually watch tv. Also you can adjust the angle of the tv so it doesn't reflect the lights. I live alone so this is easy. It's really no problem.

Hello, please excuse my delay in responding. I have all three of them in different light settings, two of them (one in the rear bedroom and one in the front bedroom) is completely dark and it really makes it look like there is someone inside watching TV. The other one is in a half lit living room, since there is only a lamp turned on, but it also makes anyone believe from outside that there is someone watching TV in the living room. No... Outside street lights do not affect it too much. As a matter of fact, I have a public city light directly across the street from my home where one of these units is sitting in the front bedroom. I would say the post where the city light is about 50 feet away from the window. I do not know if it can be set up with a timer, since I have not tried it, primarily because I have it set in automatic, where it turns on by itself right after dark which is when I need it and turns off at first light in the morning, just like I want it to. I hope this helps!

This is true, they connect end to end. however the signal and strength of the lighting itself deteriorates after 3 - 4 strips. I suggest separate the strips with a repeater which is supposed to boost the signal. I am not an expert by any means. just trial and error here.

I'd see it's in the middle. there are definitely a much worse TV's that reflect light. I have windows with blinds behind me. and I can barely see the reflection

The screen is not reflective and the TV has a smart sensor that till brighten or dim depending on the light available in the room. I have 3 windows in my living room and this doesn't cause any issues unless the slight in shining directly on the screen

Plasma screens are known for having lots of light glare, more than LCD. I'm usually not home during the day, so light glare was not an issue for me. People recommend placing your tv against a wall that will not have sun shining on it or getting good blinds and using them

I don't know if this description will help, but I would term the screen either a Light Matte or Semi-Gloss finish. When the TV is off and you're starring at a blank screen, if you're in a well lit room, you will see your faint reflection but it's a very soft reflection (no real detail). If you've ever sat at a desktop computer like a new iMac when the screen is blank you can see your reflection quite clearly (like on a lot of plasma TVs). The LN5600 screen is nothing like that. The room our TV is in has two large windows that run along the side of the wall about four feet away from the screen. When all the lights are on, or the window blinds are open they have no real impact on the visibility of the image on the screen. Now if the windows were directly behind me as I was watching the screen, you could have an issue without a doubt. My current problem is that I have a six foot tall lamp that sits off to the side of our sofa that faces the TV. In the evening when we're watching something, if what's playing is dark (like a night scene, or outer space) you can see the soft reflection of the light in the upper corner of the screen. This could be easily fixed by just moving the position of the lamp (or if the TV was mounted on a wall) just angling the tilt of the screen more steeply. My advice would be, as long as you don't have any light sources (aka, lamps, windows, etc.) that fall directly within a visual triangle that spreads from your screen out to where you'll be viewing you should be perfectly fine. Windows and lamp light that run along the peripheral of this imaginary triangle shouldn't cause you any real noticeable issues. Hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me again. Best of luck!

No, though you may want more than 1. I have a 55" TV and have a single strip running across the middle of it. While that "works," it's not as bright as I would like it to be and I would probably put a 2nd strip on it, locating one across the bottom and the other across the top. You definitely should not need 4 of them.

If you need a light strip for outdoor, there is the same light strip with a silicone sleeve over it. If you use the light for indoor use the strip without the sleeve would be fine.

The strip light requires an LED driver with 110 V in and 12 V out, which is purchased separately. That's the best I can tell you.

I purchased a 750 on 11/29/08 from Amazon and received it the following week. In a very dark room and from the right angle, you can see the image getting reflected through the beveled edge of the frame, but it is hardly noticeable. My wife didn't even see it until I pointed it out to her. It has no effect at all on my viewing pleasure. I have the TV placed on a corner TV stand positioned in a corner, but I don't think it would make any difference against a flat wall.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws. Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

We use lights on timers and the Fake TV still works. I think the light would have to be directly in front of the unit or very, very bright before it would be affected. Our lamps are off to the side of the Fake TV. You'd really have to test it out to see. We place the Fake TV units right in front of our TV screen. From outside the house you would swear there was a tv on inside.

Don't know if there is a better way, but we are completely satisfied with this product. It does the job of reducing glare and the way it attaches to the TV might appear to be a little "Rube Goldberg-ish", but once it is on, it's on, unless you like taking it off and putting it back on all the time. It looks good and it works. We like it.

No. It's taken care of by the coaxial cable. If your location is susceptible to lightning strikes, it would be good to have a lightning rod to ground set up, or a special "anti-lightning" fusible link between the cable from the tv to the antenna.
