Before we get started, make sure you have all the necessary materials:
I am from India. We own a LG 42LW6500 3D LED TV. When switched on our TV shows no image at all. We opened the TV back cover and found that the backlights are working and the circuits are also not damaged. But still when I switch on there is no image in screen and couldn't check sound as we were not. LG Television. VICTSING LED TV Backlight Strip. The VICTSING LED Backlight Strip is a bestseller for great reasons. First, the strips have lifetime technical support and secondly, it comes with a small remote controller that fits your pocket. The controller has a remote distance of a maximum of 15 meters. This USB RGB LED controller has eight colors and six exciting dynamic modes.
1. An Arduino (any type will work)
2. A breadboard (will allow us to create a circuit without soldering)
3. An RGB LED strip. I got mine off Amazon, here is a link to a similar product: (link).

4. TIP122 Transistors (3 of them). These will allow us to control the led strip. I got a set off Amazon for cheap (link).
5. Some wires to connect the circuit together.
You'll also need some way to mount the LEDs to your monitor. You can use 3M Adhesive, or you can attach the strip to a board like I did.

On the software side, you will need:
1. The Arduino programming software (https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software)
2. Python (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
3. The PILLOW library for Python. Instructions for installation here.
The project is setup like this: there will be a Python program running on the computer that finds the average color of the screen. This color will be sent to the Arduino, which will set the red, green, and blue components of the LED strip accordingly.
