How Aura Smart TV Backlight Works

Aura Smart TV Backlight uses a camera controller mounted above your TV to detect the dominant colors on the screen and reproduce them with LED lights mounted behind the display. That means if you have something playing on the screeen, any app, media, or video game, our lens technology can sync those dynamic colors unlike some HDMI sync systems.
