The 4 Best Bias Lighting Options for TV

The concept of “bias lighting” may sound like a makeup technique only practiced by the Kardashians, but in reality, bias lighting is a simple way to change your TV viewing experience forever. Because it’s 2019, we spend a majority of our time looking at screens—and while it might not be putting your extremities under duress, your eyes are definitely taking a beating. To cut down on eye strain and eye fatigue, people are backlighting (or bias lighting) their TVs and computer screens to help creating a contrasting ambient glow to the harsh glare of the screen. It basically gives your eyes a break from concentrating on staring at one glowing section of a screen. Of course, people are taking this as an opportunity to really set the mood in their homes, making the ambient light available in multiple colors. To help give your eyes a break and to really help you set the Netflix-and-chill mood, we chose four of the most beloved bias lighting kits out there that are easy to install—and great to look at.

Bason TV LED Backlight

Fitting TVs from 30”-40” to 60”-70”, Bason TV LED backlights are pretty much universally easy to us. A single strip offers home viewers 16 static colors, four dynamic modes, and eight levels of brightness to enhance their viewing experience. Using TV USB port, the lighting strip can be turned on/off in sync with most models, and is back with a strong adhesive backing so the lighting doesn’t fall off (so long as you kept it dust-free) before applying. The packages comes with one lighting strip, USB cables, and a remote control.

This strip lightening turns off and on easily with your TV thanks to it’s USB port. With 15 colors at 10 different brightness levels and a 1-fade mode, lighting is easy to customize.

MediaLight Quad 6500K Bias Lighting System

Designed for flush-mounted TVs up to 65 inches or accordion mounted displays up to 75 inches, this is is a 3-way splitter rather than an LED strip. For larger displays, consider the larger Quad XL. 122 High-Accuracy SMD chips (LED’s) with a four-way splitter (which offers almost three times as many lights as a single strip). While it doesn’t offer an array of colors, it does promise full-surround lighting, and can be dimmed or brightened for exactly the right lighting contrast.
