Add a Little Nostalgia to Your Desk With These Customizable Pixel Art Lights
Jan 05, 2025 - gizmodo.com
Govee has introduced new lighting products, the Gaming Pixel Light and Mini Panel Lights, designed for gamers seeking a blend of modern aesthetics and retro pixelated experiences. The Gaming Pixel Light features a 32 by 32-pixel frame capable of displaying images and GIFs with a wide color palette, surpassing traditional 8-bit graphics. It offers over 150 preset scenes, including functional displays like a clock or weather, and allows users to create and edit pixel art through an app. The frame can also sync with a Govee HDMI 2.1 Sync Box to display game visuals in a pixel art style and respond to music by altering visuals based on the beat.
While similar to Divoom's pixel art products, Govee's offering distinguishes itself with a sci-fi aesthetic frame. Users can generate pixel art using in-app AI, though the simplicity of creating 32-by-32-pixel art may render this feature unnecessary. The Gaming Pixel Light is expected to be available in Q2 2025.
