The Xiaomi one seems like the better purchase, but I find this review a little bit biased and not a fair reflection of the performance of both products.

appreciate the honesty +1 sub and +1 like. keep up the good work :)

My strained eyes are going to thank you for your recommendation. I need to get these.

I bought a Quntis lightbar and thought the Benq was way too expensive. But I was so wrong! You get what you pay for!

The Quntis doesn't really glare on the screen, but it illuminates every tiny speck of dust and still shines in my eyes.
The dust was driving me mad. I cleaned it every day.

I just got the Benq and the difference is night and day!

The light is so focused that it doesn't light up the dust and doesn’t shine in my eyes.
The backlight is a nice addition.

I got the Xiaomi light bar a little over a year ago and I'm perfectly satisfied with it. I wouldn't spend $10 more to upgrade to the BenQ, let alone $100.

Great video with fantastic facts. I have question, My children work in an office next to each other on seperate computers. If they each have a Mi light bar wireless remote control, when pressing setting does it impact the other light bar and if yes how can you stop this?

[lukasbeck]

Can you Connect the remote control with a second Monitor Lightbar? I have two screens.🤔

Thank you, you have made my decision. I'm going to buy Xiaomi! Which monitor mount are you using? I have a curve monitor too.

[NielsHvid]

Nice video, I liked it. Please note that differential and difference is not the same

[TahmidRashid]

I am getting this bar! Way too slick to miss out on it.

Hey! What are your thoughts on the ikea monitor light?

[sandypillai]

User of the MI light bar, go for the purchase it’s must better and always in stock, the glare is only an issue if installed improperly and on a curved monitor which is never the norm, I love the minimal aesthetic and zero branding. The brightness and CRI values of the LEDs are very good I rarely use the High mode.

I wanted to try out the Xiaomi light bar first, but almost all of the main sellers on Amazon had poor reviews and higher than RRP prices.

So, I bit the bullet and went for the BenQ Halo instead.

I don't regret my purchase so far, and I find the back light a lot more useful than I initially anticipated.

Yes, you could absolutely buy the Xiaomi light bar for the desk, and then get a cheap LED lamp to put behind the monitor as biased/ambient lighting.

However, I don't have heaps of space behind my monitor and nor do I have a spare socket.

The BenQ Halo handles everything in one solution, which saves space and prevents extra clutter.

ordered one in 2022 Xiaomi Light bar same one here and It's not working no more mind you it was great purchase it's 2024 now. I use it lightly and I don't know why It stopped working. Would buy another one again ngl or try the BenQ but the price and the economy is something else.

[Munheca]

Hey! I might be too late but do you know if the xiaomi light bar will be able to fit on any monitor? I have an Lg gaming monitor which is super thicc in the back and so I don't know if this is a good option

[HealthPKW]

Does your back light have a black bar running down the middle ?

[GabrielMorales-ptsj]

Would you recommend BenQ for someone who easily gets eyestrain? Only way I can use my monitor is with my room fully lit or my eyes get hella irritated 😭
