USB Light Back For TV or Monitor

Written by Richard Blanchard on August 31st, 2011. Posted in USB Hacks, Video, YouTube Video

I think we can agree that “USB light back” is not a common tech term among the geeks out there.  What I mean is a LED system powered by USB which provide background lighting to your TV or monitor.

USB light back takes your TV one step further by supply complimentary tones and colors to what is currently being displayed on your TV.  Gives you a theater effect.

The only way to fully understand, is to watch:

A quote from the creator:

The software analyzes the image on your monitor and transfers its data by USB to the Lightpack board. This board lights the surface behind a monitor, TV or laptop by means of RGB LEDs of the corresponding colors. The effect reminds us of the illumination of Phillips Ambilight TVs most of all.

The lightpack is available for all via Google Code download link.  For the more advanced, but an very effective tool to enhance your TV experience.
