I don't understand what this accomplishes? Monitors produce their own light, with the brightness being adjustable. Including local dimming zones or per-pixel zones in OLEDs.
The only benefit I can see is if you cannot touch type and need to see your hands, but isn't key lighting the normal solution to that problem?
PS - I used to work with someone that needed the overhead light on to see their LCD monitor better. I'm still confused by that to this day.
- pineconewarrior 4y agoIt illuminates your desk area and reduces eye strain an unbelievable amount. Try one and you will see!

- sodality2 4y agoI'm guessing it's more about ambient light sources besides the screen; it always makes me feel a lot more awake if I'm in a brighter room.
- larrywright 4y agoThis directs light down on the desk, so the light is perpendicular to the light coming from the monitor. It's not illuminating the monitor at all really. It's basically a desk lamp that doesn't take up any space on the desk. And in my case, it's powered by one of the USB ports that the monitor (43" TV) already had.
