I think that's the best photo of the lot - I like the paint going over onto the door, I bet it's more interesting than your boring house.

The Macrumors forum hates them - so that means they're great. If i've learnt anything it's that whatever people hate on here (which is usually 10 to 1 hate for EVERYTHING, from the original iPod to now) is actually a fantastic product.

That’s an excellent observation.

I remember I had an early, and admittedly cheap, flat screen monitor, and I had such headaches from it, I finally gave it away. My eyes felt tired, which was weird, and the headaches and tense shoulders (which was surprisingly linked to monitor use). I'd be wondering if the drivers also put out high frequency harmonics that could drive dogs nuts. I swear that my house fills my ears with high frequency harmonics that I don't hear elsewhere. Some think that's nuts, but I'd love to get a microphone sensitive enough to test for that.

Yes, our environments are capable of, and in many cases ARE making us sick.

This mic is sensitive to 48kHz

Definitely not blowing my stimulus check on this, lol. I briefly considered getting some triangles when I built my studio two years ago, but then I realized I'm not 14 years old or a YouTuber and don't want blinding LEDs glaring in my face while working. At least these look more uniformly lit than the square ones which had a stupid crosshair pattern in the center.

As with the Nanoleaf Canvas, the Hexagons are touch-enabled and will change colors when touched, allowing for games and other interactions.

Nobody plays games with these things. I've never understood why they're touch sensitive since people put them way up on a wall behind their computer. Seems like a good way to cut costs is to remove the touch capability.

LOL! Who thinks to themselves, "I'm going to paint random purple rectangles on my walls and doors." Also... why do the floor boards look like they are decking? Person must love spiders.

Oh no I can't unsee that decking floor now! What's with the white bits in it? At first I thought maybe its over the downstairs below, but if you look on the left if that were true these things would be paper thin. Practically nightmare fuel, lol.

Well, if you do that, you essentially have no lightswitch at all other than through your phone/watch/computer. It's still a lot more convenient (and intuitive) to physically walk past a light and tap it.

Did you see the price? Between $300 and $400. I was expecting maybe $35 and would have gotten them for our daughter's room!

I didn't get past the
"Pre-Order" button that did nothing.

I suppose it does if your personal aesthetic is “MOAR SATURATED STIMULI!”

I just don’t happen to need everything in my life to pulsate, interact, and actively illuminate in narrow spectral bands like I’m living in a turn of the century iTunes visualizer. I understood the fascination when LEDs first got traction— Oliver Sacks had to down a cocktail of psychedelics to experience indigo, now we can do it sober— but with time I find it crass, annoying and dated.

Maybe this is really good for those who live in basements that have no windows.

The rounded edges was a curious choice, but I like the mid mod look as opposed to the square and triangle look which was a bit too YouTube-y

They could just put a little button on the main part. Not worth adding to the price IMO, especially since I always see it up high on walls behind people's computers.
