I recently bought the alienware OLED. the lightbar is great when aimed so it doesn't hit the panel but does gently illuminate the desk. relieves eyestrain when the room is otherwise dark, which is when the OLED's benefits are most obvious, especially with the coating on the alienware in particular which kills reflections but does make blacks slightly more grey in brighter light.

I've been using the BenQ light bar for the past 6 months and it's super nice as it softly illuminates the deskspace when gaming/browsing at night. Initially got it due to suffering from dry eye but it's worth trying if you're curious

Great video as usual, Ali. Regarding the lightbars, I currently have one and they come in handy to relieve eye strain at night, specially when working. But when gaming I usually turn it off and just run some bias lighting I have behind my monitors. TL:DR: They're nice to have, but not game changing.

I personally like lightbars. They can light up your setup in a nice way but they're easier on my eyes during the evening. My mood lightning alone isn't bright enough. But I use my PC as a work space/study space as well and I just need the bright light on my desk for that too. I have the BenQ one, which was a bit expensive imo, but it does the job nicely.

I don't like lightbars right in front of the monitors at all. Its like highlighting every nano sized imperfection on the screen from every dust corn to not uniform blacks and it takes the black values away from the screen.

Lightbars. The single biggest issue I've run into is using one with my logitech webcam. Lightbars really suck to use if your webcam/dslr is not rigged on its own arm. I typically have my webcam above my main monitor which is where you want the lightbar. I ended up returning it because adjusting the lightbar would move the webcam messing up my focus settings and what not.
