What reviewers say
GVM 672S-B Bi-Color LED Panel
Owners generally rate the 672S-B well for its color accuracy and value, especially for the price of a bi-color panel with accessories. Complaints center on build feel and the modest output for bigger setups.
- Color accuracyPraisedOwners say skin tones and white balance look clean across the 3200-5600K range.
- BrightnessMixedFine for close interview and desk lighting, but owners say it struggles to fill a large room.
- BuildCriticisedSome buyers find the housing and controls plasticky for the weight.
Questions and answers
- Which is better for video interviews?
- The GVM 672S-B. Its 40W output, diffuser and barndoor give soft, controllable key light. The Neewer RGB1 at 10W is better as an accent or background light.
- Which is better for color effects and backgrounds?
- The Neewer RGB1. It does full RGB color with app and touch-bar control, which the bi-color GVM cannot do.
- Which lasts longer on a shoot?
- The GVM runs on AC or DC with a charger, so it can run all day from mains power. The Neewer runs on USB-C, so runtime depends on the power bank or adapter you connect.
- Is the Neewer worth it if I already own a panel?
- Yes, as a second light. It adds RGB color, magnetic placement and app control that a bi-color panel lacks, and it weighs only 12 oz.
- Do I need a stand for the GVM?
- Yes. The GVM 672S-B is stand mount only and the stand is not listed as included. The Neewer mounts magnetically or on a camera.
- Which has better color accuracy?
- The Neewer RGB1, rated CRI 98 or higher, versus CRI 97+ on the GVM. The gap is small and both are good for video work.
