Wow I already ordered a light bar but got this suggestion and enjoying the whole video. This should've showed up way earlier when I was actually searching, so informative, so good. Keep it up you're going to be huge soon love the talking to self and the text animations, so fun yet classy and not distracting
When I watched this video I looked at the description and then see that you have 2k subs!! By the quality of this video I would’ve assumed way more!! Keep up the good work!
I’m definitely cool with just having the Baseus one for 30 something since it does everything I needed it to do. Don’t get me wrong, I still rock with BenQ for their products but the price point compared to the competition ain’t it
Subscribed. Lucky for me the RUclips algorithms did bring me here when I was looking for a light bar and comparisons between the BenQ. Good job on this one I really appreciate the information and it's giving me a lot to look at and consider.
I just got the baseus lightbar as a gift, didnt expect it to pinch the screen so hard. Luckily, I had some lego laying around and just attached it to a lego block instead of the monitor, works just as well.
Nice editing, simple and to the point, just suggesting, not pushing people to buy one or another. And nice calming voice and no screaming “ ITS AMAZING YOU GOTTA GET ONE” +1 sub
Great comparison video, Watts! Thanks for featuring my setup. I have the BenQ screen bar plus which is a bit more expensive than the standard screen bar. I like that the plus version has the dial to easily adjust the brightness and color temperature without having to reach up to the top of my screen. I have short arms so reaching up to the top of my screen every time I want to adjust would be super inconvenient for me. 🙈
Hey man, this video was excellent and pointed out some pros and cons of light bars for me. I am looking into getting one and this was very helpful! Thanks a bunch
Hey man, just magically found your video and I just want to say I love the production quality of your videos. Super aesthethic and just a 5 ⭐experience.
I personally own the Baseus & BenQ screen bar over a year now with heavy usage. I purchased the BenQ because of the great reviews and figured it will be a good fit for my BenQ monitors staying in the eco system but the baseus has been much better on my eyes. The BenQ after adjusting are simply too bright the only thing is that it feels more secure on the monitor and I love using the control. Trust me you not missing anything with the BenQ.
Just watched other video that told to buy anything but Baseus. Guess it works for you. Looking at Xiaomi variant myself, but still looking into comparisons. Nice video!
I love your approach to your video. Nice and calm and honest. That is all of us want on RUclips. I sorry but all these shills drive me nuts. I can read right through their BS. Please do not change a thing. I know all the RUclipsrs out there want hits and act like their reviews are not paid but we all know the truth. If a manufacture is giving the reviewer an item and they give a bad review they and other manufactures will not come back. We are not stupid. Well, at least most of us.
I’ve seen some lights that clamp on to the desk be recommended to me on Amazon and I’ve seen them in setup pics here and there. If you’re curious, search “OTUS LED Desk Lamp for Home Office” to see what I mean
Enjoyed the comparison video. The BenQ ScreenBar definitely a meme at this point with how popular it is and how often you see in desk setup photos. It's good quality though, but it's nice you were able to show an alternative to it.
Went here after receiving a reply regarding your Asus ProArt post. I guess it's safer not to put a light bar on my set up, unless I can find one where I can just put it "on" my monitor and not actually clamping it. Thank you so much for your insights!
@@JaizeDee Yep. That counterbalance part at the back is doing a lot of the work to keep it on the monitor. The part that rests on the monitor bezel is like a guide.
Baseus makes a lot of awesome products at great bang-for-your-buck value. I originally found the brand through the awesome chargers they make, then noticed that their batteries and so on. Very interesting brand that people are sleeping on.
Neither, the Yeelight Pro Lightbar is excellent. It has a remote that works perfectly, a separate backlight. I wanted to buy the BenQ, but a friend recommended the Yeelight. My monitor has a light „hump“ on the back, but it still fits fine. It‘s great for working and gaming. My eyes are less strained! Oh, the backlight is either RGB (customizable) or normal lighting, another nice feature. Hope this helps.
I know this review is 1 year old. 2 questions. Have you changed your mind any since then? Also looking for recommendations for a light for my dual screen setup. Monitors are set where they touch (slight V) and a little dark when working.
@@visionarywatts I just found the Quntis for $36 (missed the 29 Canadian dollars deal) Usually theyre around 56 dollars so let's see how it goes. I'll come back and let you know next week.
@@visionarywatts Just got the Qunits light bar. Honestly, good first impressions. I am new to this kind of thing. So far, I think I am happy I didn't spend 250 Canadian.
Nice Video! I have never heard of this Baseus Monitor Light Bar before. I have 2 Quntis Light Bar on 2 different setup which has very similar spec (Auto dimming and color temperature) to the more expensive BenQ. Also a third of the price of the BenQ. I like your channel!
There was a setup post I saw where there where several “what is that bar?” Type of comments that really had me thinking maybe sometimes we go with whatever looks good in a picture at the moment. Aside from that, I do think it’s good to hear other peoples experience on an “alternate choice”
@@visionarywatts True. When they all look the same and if they serve the same purpose then it doesn't matter which one you get. Unless one is straight up trash!
They reduce glare and light up the workspace in front of the monitor without having a different light on the desk that shines into your eyes. I haven't done any testing and I'm not qualified to say that it will 100% help with eye protection but when I'm writing notes on my desk at night, this is a nice light to have to help me avoid straining my eyes to see when I'm writing. It's not important to have one but more so a nice to have.
Hey I'm thinking of buying baseus , should i buy it but i have a basel less display Benq Modius is there any issue with baseus light bar.. pls reply I'm afraid to buy
I don't own an Xiaomi so I can't offer much. I'd pay attention to the mechanism of how it sits on the monitor and see if there is a pattern problem in the lower star reviews.
Was thinking about taking the plunge. My question is where is your tower? Ive heard the benq cord is really short. Is your cord plugged into the tower or the monitor?
My monitor has nearly the same top frame thickness as ur monitor and I'd like to buy baseus one so would u recommend me to buy it or it wouldn't be safe to insert it?
@@ahmedusama2136 It's risking it. You don't want the clamp to slide down and accidentally clamp on your screen. I ended up putting the baseus on another monitor with a thicker bezel. So no I wouldn't advise you to risk it on a thin bezel monitor and the product listing doesn't recommend it either.
@@visionarywatts Thanks bro for ur explanation. Could u recommend other alternatives that might be more suitable and safe for these types of thin screens?
@@ahmedusama2136 OOWOLF, Quntis, Xiaomi. Xiaomi's product listing: The 40° adjustable axis makes it suitable for curved screens with a thickness of 1-32 mm, with or without a bezel

i never leave comments, but this video of yours was worth my time. nice voice modulation.
I am highly appreciative of you taking the time to leave a comment. Thank you 🙌
When I watched this video I looked at the description and then see that you have 2k subs!! By the quality of this video I would’ve assumed way more!!
Keep up the good work!
Appreciate it and thank you for watching and taking the time to comment!
This was a very well laid out review. Very witty too. Well done.
I gave my benq to my wife and now I have no light bar. My intended to find an alternative and then take my benq back. You’re doing the lord’s work.
I’m definitely cool with just having the Baseus one for 30 something since it does everything I needed it to do. Don’t get me wrong, I still rock with BenQ for their products but the price point compared to the competition ain’t it
Came here for just specs and a review, stayed and subscribed for the man's molten chocolate voice.
Very good editing and good video. I suggest side by side comparison of the two (e.g. when you show how bright they are in the dark room etc.)
Your videos are art within themselves. So clean and your voice is calm. You deserve more subs.
your presentation, great editing, and the depth of your reviews is well done. Thanks man
I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

definitely weigh the negative concerns people have. The main thing that may turn people off is how it clamps to the screen

The BenQ version is like that. It isn't putting pressure on the monitor bezel like the Baesus one but it is 3 times the cost. No problem!
@@visionarywatts Oh wait, you mean the BenQ is safe on the ProArt? Like, it won't clamp but you can at least "fit" it enough for it not to fall?
@@JaizeDee Yep. That counterbalance part at the back is doing a lot of the work to keep it on the monitor. The part that rests on the monitor bezel is like a guide.
Does the face get illuminated enough to be seen on a video call on zoom or Teams? Can I get rid of a desk lamp which I use for illuminating my face.
nope! the light direction isn't meant to shine on your face. You'll need an accessory light.

Glad I could help! Thank you for watching.
Great review, very informative and helpful, thank you so much

Maybe you can try flip the RK84 keyboard frame so the logo is in the backside. It'll look minimalist.
Nice quality video & sleek voice tho.

I'm a fan on the Ben Q never tried the other one mentioned
I put the BenQ on my other setup. Can't go wrong with either at the end of the day.

Is light bar important for monitor ? Will it help in eye protection ?
They reduce glare and light up the workspace in front of the monitor without having a different light on the desk that shines into your eyes. I haven't done any testing and I'm not qualified to say that it will 100% help with eye protection but when I'm writing notes on my desk at night, this is a nice light to have to help me avoid straining my eyes to see when I'm writing. It's not important to have one but more so a nice to have.
