NZXT, a leading developer of software-powered hardware solutions for PC gaming, today announces the HUE 2 Ambient RGB Lighting Kit V2, powered by CAM.

The updated version of the HUE 2 RGB Ambient Kit brings product improvements that make installation easier and help ensures that the included LED strips will be securely attached to your monitor. In addition, CAM provides users with numerous lighting modes including an ambient lighting mode that reacts to the images on your screen. The HUE 2 ecosystem delivers the broadest line of RGB lighting accessories for PC Builders with over 10 different accessories such as the HUE 2 RGB lighting kit, underglow kit, AER RGB 2 fans, and cable combs.

HUE 2 Ambient RGB Kit V2 New Features:

Stronger Adhesive: Upgraded the 3M LED strip adhesive backing tape to be thicker and stickier. It is more compatible with the different surfaces and textures of monitors on the market.
L-Shape Corner Connector: For easier setup, we replaced the 150mm corner connectors to an L-shape corner connector for the top left and bottom right of your monitor.
Alcohol Wipes: As your monitor may be dusty or dirty, we added alcohol-based cleaning wipes so you can clean the back of the monitor before adhering the LED strips.

HUE 2 RGB Ambient Lighting Kit Features
Available in two configurations, one for 21" to 25"/34"-35" UltraWide monitors and one for 26" to 32" monitors, the HUE 2 RGB Ambient Lighting Kit adds gorgeous lighting to your gaming PC and provides a more immersive in-game experience* by projecting the colors from the edges of your display to your walls.

HUE 2 RGB Ambient Lighting controller
Faster microprocessor enables incredibly smooth lighting effects and virtually instantaneous response changes to colors on the screen in ambient mode
Multiple LED strips in various lengths, along with easy-to-follow configuration and installation instructions for various monitor sizes and aspect ratios

I was hoping something like this would come out, as the monitors that have this only seem to be on the G-Sync versions.

How does the sample the screen colour ? Through software ? Be nice to know if there's a performance hit in games with this enabled.

Haha, please NZXT don't reinvent the wheel.
Here, have it DIY:

Half the price, and it is yours to modify or whatever.
@Hilbert Hagedoorn, I posted that link for the comparative example, not for promoting anyone's on-line store.

So waiting on this! Been dreaming to get this to go with gaming for quite some time. Of course there have been solutions before too but this looks like 'it'.
