Our take

The 3 Pro is the TV backlight we’d buy: it follows anything on screen, including the TV’s own apps, and everything you need is in the box. Keep room lights low for the best color matching.

What we like

  • Triple-lens camera reads the screen: no HDMI box needed
  • Works with the TV’s built-in apps and every input
  • About 30% brighter than the 3 Lite (Matter Alpha)

Watch out for

  • Room lights and reflections can fool the camera (9to5Google)
  • A little slower than an HDMI sync box in fast games (GameSpace)
  • Matter is best for on/off only: setting a color stops the sync

Skip it if you game on a console and want the fastest, most accurate sync. An HDMI sync box reads the signal itself.
