A 13.1ft strip where every bead carries its own chip, so the frame of a 50–55in TV can glow in several colours at once and ripple with the film score.
The Daymeet RGBIC backlight is a 13.1ft strip of LEDs where every bead carries its own little control chip. That chip is what separates it from a plain RGB backlight: instead of the whole frame turning red, then blue, the strip can hold red on the left, violet across the top and teal down the right, all at once. Set it moving and the colours chase each other around the back of the TV.
The length is cut for 50–55in screens, the most common living-room size. Daymeet also calls it a fit for TVs and monitors from about 45 to 60 inches, depending on how far in from the edge the strip runs. On a 55in panel it traces most of the back edge; on a 45in one there is strip to spare, which can fold back along the bottom.
A glow behind the screen also eases the eye strain of staring at a bright image in blackness. That softening is called bias lighting, and it is why TV strips sit on the back of the set rather than around the room: the wall lights up, the eyes relax and the image still owns the show.
With 90 LEDs and a 5W rating, the strip is bright enough for a wall a few inches behind the panel without dazzling anyone on the sofa.

Tap the microphone icon in duoCo StripX and the backlight starts listening. A tiny mic inside the controller catches the room's sound, so explosions flare the colours, quiet dialogue lets them settle and a match-day crowd sends them spinning. There is no cable to the TV's audio, which means a soundbar, a turntable or a party playlist on a separate speaker all work the same way.
The app keeps the bigger toys: a palette of more than 16 million colours, custom gradients, a timer that switches the strip on and off, and saved scenes. The 21-key remote handles the everyday flicks from the sofa, such as on, off, brightness and the favourite modes.
Horror night calls for a deep red that pulses slowly on the jump scares. Cartoon marathons with the kids call for a flowing rainbow. A quiet evening of streaming suits a dim honey tone with the mic switched off.
Setup is done before the opening credits finish. The strip powers from USB, so it plugs straight into the port on the back of the TV and needs no extra adapter hidden behind the cabinet. Clean the back panel, plan the route and stick it down in one steady pass.
Distance to the wall shapes the halo. Mounted flat, a 55in panel throws a tight, saturated frame of colour; on a stand a foot out, the rainbow spreads into a broad, gentle wash. Away from a wall, there is little for the colour to land on.
Plenty of sets kill USB power in standby, so the rainbow sleeps when the screen does. For a pure backlight that is ideal. To keep the glow going as room light after the credits, plug the lead into a 5V phone charger and let the timer close the evening.
Port power is worth a glance too. Older USB 2.0 sockets were specified for 500mA at 5V, about half this strip's 5W appetite, so on some older sets the rainbow may look dim or flicker at full brightness. A 1A or stronger 5V charger fixes that at once, and the strip never knows the difference.
Choosing a TV strip starts with the screen size, then the kind of motion wanted. The Daymeet is the multi-colour option cut for 50–55in sets, where many other kits in the family are either plain RGB or sized for smaller or larger screens. Measure the back of the TV, decide between one calm colour and a chasing rainbow, then pick.
| Backlight | Screen size | Colour style |
|---|---|---|
| Daymeet RGBIC, 13.1ft | 50–55in | Several colours at once |
| MATICOD, 9.84ft | 32–43in | One colour at a time |
| MORIACC, 16.4ft | 45–75in | One colour at a time |
| DTQJ, 21ft | 32–85in | One colour at a time |
Before ordering, run a quick check:
For a gift, the Daymeet suits the family TV in a lounge where the kids want colours to move and the adults want a warm glow for late films. It asks for no tools, no mains adapter and no wiring beyond one USB plug. The app notes explain what duoCo StripX adds over the older duoCo Strip.
One Daymeet detail sets it apart from the plain RGB kits in the table: its colours can travel. That single trait decides the mood of the whole room, so choose it on purpose rather than by length alone.
It is cut for 50–55in TVs. Daymeet also lists 45–60in screens and monitors, depending on how the strip is routed.
No. The picture plays no part: the strip runs the app's modes or listens to the room's audio through its mic.
Yes, from any USB socket. Its 5W draw may outpace an older port, and a 1A phone charger is the fallback.
