Most gaming setups get lighting backwards: the room goes dark, the screen goes bright, and after a few hours your eyes ache. A monitor light bar fixes the imbalance without touching the picture. The front emitter lights the keyboard so you can see your keys, and the RGB backlight fills the wall behind the panel so your eyes are not fighting a bright rectangle in a black room.
For a flat panel, the ScreenMate M1 and M1 4-Mode are the value picks. For a curved gaming monitor, the R1000 matches a 1000R arc. For a setup you want to feel automatic, the ScreenMate M6 switches itself on with radar presence sensing as you sit down.
