Can someone explain this lighting to me?
-
I see lots of "light kits" available which are compatible with Google/Alexa/Homekit. In fact, I have my living room lighting set up with Phillips Hue lights. It's a great way to adjust lighting for a specific occasion:
- "Hey Siri, good night"
- "Hey Siri, we have guests"
- "Hey Siri, good morning."
But I see a lot of people putting a light strip solution behind their TVs.
Yeah, it looks, well, interesting, but why would you want to do that other than the "cool" factor. I would think you wouldn't want any distracting lighting behind/around your TV.

Primates are attracted to bright colorful things, and we are not as far removed from the trees as we might think.

Actually, I think the lighting in the background could help. The screen surrounded by all black can be a little jarring... This looks a little easier to watch...
