I have this on a 1.2 inch thick monitor, it hasnt moved thru a 4.2 earthquake, rage gaming, kicking the table, and ridiculous bass. 10/10 would buy again
I have the 34" ultrawide Xiaomi monitor, I was skeptical at first, but it was too good of a deal to pass up, I've been using it for quite a while now and I'm 99% satisfied, you get what you pay for with their products
This is a fantastic video. I love that you included and demonstrated bias lighting for people. Very important concept. You could have listed more points for why typical desk lamps suck as far as hand shadows and glare and insufficient coverage and stuff, but I think most people watching this video would already be pretty aware of why they want a monitor lamp. My research tells me that this is definitely the lamp to get.
Was just considering this light bar but this video taught me much more about lighting. In this day and age, I feel we have to take care of our eyes more than ever before. Thanks for the great content

As a long-time user of the original BENQ, the wireless controller is what made me buy this. I am now using a 50" tv as a monitor,I have to stand up everytime to turn it on/off, with the Xiaomi, my laziness rprobs has been resolved lol. Good review!
This has to be my best purchase this year. Everything on my desk has enough light now and there is much less strain on my eyes. Everyone should purchase one really.
I ended up getting a Micomlan Monitor Light Bar from Amazon. It comes with its own back facing LED's and they're BRIGHT. It's cheap at $29 . I've had it for nearly a year and its been working perfectly all this time.
Well, if you claim this to be the BenQ killer, why are you comparing it to a brand NOT BENQ? It seems like a great product, a great alternative to Quntis. But after comparing Xiaomi to Quntis for the entire video, I wasn't able to see how you came to the conclusion of "this is the BenQ killer". There are other videos on TH-cam which did a fair and thorough comparison with BenQ and their final thoughts were at least a bit different than "BenQ is just soooo over priced and it is a rip off"
@@JSyntax Still a bit confused by the fact that your video about BenQ Halo came after this one and you seem to absolutely cancel BenQ product in this video. But anyways, I guess everyone has their own preference. I accidently stumbled upon your channel and hope your TH-cam career goes well. Thanks for your content
I don't get how this is a BenQ killer. The BenQ spills zero light on the monitor. This monitor spills a lot of it on the monitor, unless your turn it away, but then it almost hits your eyes.
I use this light bar with Xiaomi Mi 34'' monitor for a while now, and it's really decent, love it. I left it on most of the time. when you don't have a light bar you think you don't need it but as soon as you start using one you can turn it off, haha.
You are one of the few people I've ever heard talk about "how our eyes work". I work in a fairly dark studio, and I've had a lamp behind my monitor for at least 15 years. Even at home, when I watch TV, for over 20 years I've had a lighting preset that illuminates the whole wall that the TV is on (Yes ,I've had smart lights for 20 years). At work, in the studio, I've been trying to focus the track lights over my head to only illuminate the desk, but not the put glare on the screen. I've had very little success. A light bar is the perfect solution, and Xiaomi might be the one for me. I just hope it fits on my super thick NEC monitor.
@@TheLP98 I have an NEC PA 271Q. It just barely fits. I wish I could post a picture here, but I'll try to describe the problem. the bezel isn't too thick, but about an inch down from the bezel on the back side, the case protrudes out another inch or so. The counterweight on the light touches that protrusion which causes the lamp to tilt forward and spill light onto the screen. For me, it's acceptable. A proper solution would be to break the counterweight off, and use strong 3M tape to attach the lamp in a semi-permanent way. The one thing no review mentions, is that the angel of the lamp can cause glare into your eyes. The light reflects off my metallic keyboard and into my eyes - it's not too bad, but not ideal either. A light bar is not a perfect solution, but better than the eyestrain caused by my black keyboard on my black desk in the dark. A light bar is also better than a bright lamp that would wash out my monitor.
thank you for your review. Just bought one last week. Amazing quality when having it on hand. Now just saving extra money to buy the Xiaomi 34 inch ultrawide monitor to ft with it.
One thing about the condo developers, they did not forget to add lights, they built your unit (and the hundreds of others) to the absolute bare minimum code requirement. In Canada ceiling lighting only required in kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms (not closet!) and hallways. You are permitted to install a switched receptacle (plug) in living rooms & bedrooms & you are code compliant. Some developers opt to include a junction box in the middle of your bedroom so that you can choose to install your own ceiling lighting. Otherwise great video.
Immediate purchase. 35 including 7 day shipping on aliexpress. Thanks for the recommendation and good explanation. I've been dealing with eye strain too for some time.
Love that remote control for the light bar. So clever and cool. Don’t know what other light bars offer by way of remote control but the remote certainly makes this Xiaomi bar pretty compelling. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
@@JSyntax I'm tossing up Quntis vs Xiaomi and in a way I like the simplicity of the Quntis. No extra things on the desk, no batteries required, all enclosed in one unit. What if the remote breaks? (Saw a few reviews 😬) Quntis or Xiaomi? You've almost got Mr convinced.
@@PaulSpaccaventohaving to touch the light bar often can disorient its original tilt position. So you gonna have to re adjust its position every now and then as well. However, having a remote control lets you adjust brightness and color without potentially altering its position since your not touching the bar.
What is the max Lumen rating on this Xiaomi light bar? They don’t say in their official specs probably to hide the fact that it’s really dim. All lighting has a Lumen rating!
Thank you so much for your video. Purchased this product exclusively based on your review. Will be very helpful to the community suffering from eye strains if you can offer an advise on LIFX bulb (never even heard of one prior to your video) and tips on how to properly setup monitor colors to reduce eye strain, not for gaming but for professional software development. Thanks again, fantastic video!
I bought the XIAOMI Mi Computer Monitor Light bar and the light holder blocks the camera (when centered) on the Studio Display! It triggers anyone's OCD since the light sits about 1 inch to the right or left of the monitor!
Got this for free with my used 27" XIaomi 165Hz gaming monitor... honestly, it's my favorite part about it... aside from maybe the monitor's incredible color accuracy for the price
Great review! Just wondering if xiaomi bar could be used instead a regular desk lamp for reading and writing or is rather an additional source for computer use purposes?
Great review! But you did compared with the Quntis old version, am I right? What about the comparison with the new Quntis Pro+ which also has the remote control and maybe a few improvments from its old version? I'm really searching a review comparing those 2 for me to choose what I'm gonna buy.
would still prefer benq over this, the light profile of this shown in the video is symetric, causing light to spill onto the monitor, or angeled aggressively away that it'll be in your eye. calling it a benq killer is misleading. there's a reason why benq is much more expensive, more engineering and R&D was put into it.
I have been using this for 2 months now, and honestly really worth it! I was on the Xiaomi store and saw this one, I couldnt believe it was so cheap for its quality. It made such huge difference especially I work night shifts and I hate the big light lol. The only thing that bothered me is the pressure in my monitor from the light bar clamp since I have a thin bezel, I decided to put it on my second monitor. But how is it going for you? Is this a concerned at all?
there are two models of this lamp MJGJD01YL and MJGJD02YL. the last one is possible to connect do the app. are there any other differences apart from that?
Thanks for the great review and especially the addition of bias light - been doing that bit for years and it always helps! Can you say whether the light works even if the monitor is off or in standby (as it draws power via USB of the monitor)? I sometimes work at my desk without the monitor on but still need a desk light.
Great review dude. Question though. 😅 In clamping capability also compatible for curve monitors? (Like the Huawei MateView GT) Also how about the shelf time of the bulb? At some point of time, its gonna die out right? Hopefully it lasts long enough for what your paying for. (Just some thoughts)
what do you recommend a monitor or a tv for a pc, many people use there tv's , my monitor just went, & seeing the price difference between a tv & monitor , felt should have bought a 32 in full hd tv.
it depends what you do on the PC. Do you play games like CSGO or some games which require a lot of focus, reaction time and consistent aim? Then a PC monitor is better, since they (usually) are faster reaction time and higher Hz. But if you play more games like skyrim or something like that, then a TV should be fine if you ask me!
When you showed the replaceable/removable batteries you sold me. Preventing ewaste is a huge feature for anything wireless for me. I see dead wireless stuff everywhere now as non-replaceable batteries wear out Great review
Hello. Is it possible to place a webcam on top of it? The cable looks like it can get in the way. My webcam only tilts up and down so it has to be centered
do you have the apple studio display, how does the light bar fit on it since studio display has the built in webcam and microphone exactly where the light bar stand is positioned.
According to amazon Q&As you can pair two of these to one dial, so I wonder if it's feasible to DIY something to mount a second bar behind the monitor as the bias lighting.
Will this light bar interfere with the built in webcam on my iMac? If so, I hope future light bar designs includes a cut out for monitors that have the built in webcam.
Such a great review and I really need to purchase the light bar because I'm currently doing my internship as a Software Engineer at Motorola Solutions my eyes all get in pain that's why I must have at least one monitor light bar . Thank you again for the great content..keep it up😃
Just got this light bar but unfortunately it won't fit on my 34 inch Alienware A3423DWF monitor..it seems like a quality product but I should have done more research.
I use a wall-wash stage light to light up the entire wall behind my desk. It has many different programs for a multi-color experience. Speed, light intensity, color change modes..... this is awesome! This stage light is actually a little longer than my desk. I have led light string wrapped just under the lip of the desk, a ring light on dim setting that rotates through colors slowly jammed into the corner of the desk (it usually has opposite colors of the wall-wash light which makes the effect of even more multi-color. Also have a light bar that illuminates my desk surface just enough to not be overly bright but is able to give enough LUX to keep my wireless solar powered keyboard charged. No eye fatigue at all. You don't even have to have the computer on to feel like you are in your own little cubby light color of the world. My desk experience is like a dream!
Could you help me in making a decision. In my region the Xiaomi Monitor Lamp is for approx. 69 USD and Benq Screen bar is for 109 USD. What do you think is better value for money or what would you recommend? My priorities are not getting the beam of light to my eyes from lamp, longevity and ease of use. Many people have complained about the heating and longevity issue of Xiaomi Lamp and Benq is expensive. Please help, Thank You.
Can I use it when I have 38" Dell U3818DW? First possible issue is that it's curved, second possible issue is that top is like 3cm thick because it contains some vents and becomes thicker downwards (slope is not huge, maybe five degrees) and last issue is that screen has 1mm wide frame (then half centimeter or so is black, but it's only foil covering whole screen. so it has to clamp to the edge only.
Does anyone has some experience to use this monitor light bar as an ordinary office light for paper work - sorting, reading etc...? Is it recommended for this type of work too?
Awesome video. Very informative. Thanks. Can you confirm if this light bar will retain last used mode (brightness + temperature) if the power source is cut off? I have a baseus light bar that's plugged in to a USB port on the monitor now. If I turn the monitor off or unplug the USB, when turning the light bar on again it would reset to full brightness and white color. Kinda annoying. Thanks.
I'm looking for an alternative to that bias lighting lamp in the description, which has been out of stock at Amazon for a while. All I can find are ones without USB.
does it still work on you bro? cuz some people complain about it as after 3 months of using it died. any thoughts on this pls help I'm eyeing to buy this one.
I've heard the same about the BenQ one as well, but at least they have a superior customer service and 2 years warranty. However, I still think it's criminal to buy a monitor light bar that stops working after such a short amount of time. I still have a basic LED lamp from a cheap brand that I bought over 5 years ago, with no issues. I'm not sure if it's the lack of quality control, or just the fragile design of a light bar which makes its lifespan less than a regular lamp.
I just got mine. This is an amazing product and very competitive price. I love the wireless control to top it all. Using it on my iMac not I’m thinking of getting one for the other monitor. 😊
Will this lightbar be a good choice for those using 43" monitors? 🤔 I use LG's 43-incher and I'm afraid mounting this lightbar way above my eye-level will cause light glare 🤔
I like this light bar. However, I live in an area where there are regular power outages and every time power comes back on the light bar lights up by itself. Would someone know of any way to prevent this besides pulling it off the magnetic stand?
Do you think light bar + bias light is enough to protect my eyes in completely dark room? i hate to use my room's light, considering to get that lightbar
I own this same light bar, it’s been a game changer and I absolutely love using it. Where’s the link to the inexpensive lamps you used for the bias lighting? I could definitely use one or two of those. Great review!

First possible issue is that it's curved, second possible issue is that top is like 3cm thick because it contains some vents and becomes thicker downwards (slope is not huge, maybe five degrees) and last issue is that screen has 1mm wide frame (then half centimeter or so is black, but it's only foil covering whole screen. so it has to clamp to the edge only.
I have a lamp behind my monitor. But I still dont understand what is the benefit of this xiaomi lamp hitting the screen/keyboard. Can you clarify?
I explained this in the video it's about reducing contrast between your screen and the bottom of your desk My Demo it and it's quite Stark
i have my desk right at the wall, is there a way to attach the light to wall? because i am using a laptop
Would it help Dasung E ink monitor?
Hey, what about doing a review on Manta sleep pro. supposed to be better for side sleepers. Love to hear your oppinion on it
Does anyone has some experience to use this monitor light bar as an ordinary office light for paper work - sorting, reading etc...? Is it recommended for this type of work too?
it's even better
will buying this bar soon may I know how to know if the controller is on low battery?
Still doing good
@@JSyntax how do you know if the battery is low and needs to be replaced ?
what is the difference between the one that's selling now for $49.99 (dark black) vs the one for $69.99 (black)?
Probably no difference I would get the cheaper one
Can you share a link to them
The colour?
If I use this on a rotate monitor, does it easily fall?
any update on how it hold up? if u still use it
Yes it's perfect
I remember tvs ONLY shipping with lightbars but there use to be BEHIND the tv. Interesting developents.
Indeed it is very interesting
Awesome video. Very informative. Thanks. Can you confirm if this light bar will retain last used mode (brightness + temperature) if the power source is cut off? I have a baseus light bar that's plugged in to a USB port on the monitor now. If I turn the monitor off or unplug the USB, when turning the light bar on again it would reset to full brightness and white color. Kinda annoying. Thanks.
I did confirm this in the video yes
I'm looking for an alternative to that bias lighting lamp in the description, which has been out of stock at Amazon for a while. All I can find are ones without USB.
I need to update the description then with new alternative links
does it still work on you bro? cuz some people complain about it as after 3 months of using it died. any thoughts on this pls help I'm eyeing to buy this one.
I've heard the same about the BenQ one as well, but at least they have a superior customer service and 2 years warranty.
However, I still think it's criminal to buy a monitor light bar that stops working after such a short amount of time.
I still have a basic LED lamp from a cheap brand that I bought over 5 years ago, with no issues.
I'm not sure if it's the lack of quality control, or just the fragile design of a light bar which makes its lifespan less than a regular lamp.
how do you mount this and a camara logitech c920 on the monitor? i want this but looks like i have to make a decition about what to put on top
I keep my monitor to the far left side. It works!
look up YEELIGHT Monitor Light Bar. It has an rgb backlight built in! would love to see a review
How long is the USB cable?
I just got mine. This is an amazing product and very competitive price. I love the wireless control to top it all. Using it on my iMac not I’m thinking of getting one for the other monitor. 😊
The remote control is so simple and so easy to use I really think it's underrated
Exactly light light left
Will this lightbar be a good choice for those using 43" monitors? 🤔 I use LG's 43-incher and I'm afraid mounting this lightbar way above my eye-level will cause light glare 🤔
Depends on what kind of light yo light behind needs
I like this light bar. However, I live in an area where there are regular power outages and every time power comes back on the light bar lights up by itself. Would someone know of any way to prevent this besides pulling it off the magnetic stand?
Do you think light bar + bias light is enough to protect my eyes in completely dark room? i hate to use my room's light, considering to get that lightbar
Honestly yes it's helpful
Does this snap onto a laptop screen?
i bye too and i don't know it can change to yellow before i watch this video. :)
Does it leave any marks on the monitor thoo? :o
I own this same light bar, it’s been a game changer and I absolutely love using it. Where’s the link to the inexpensive lamps you used for the bias lighting? I could definitely use one or two of those. Great review!
Still need to it! Ty y
