I'm using the Xiaomi bar and am quite happy with it. It fits really well on my monitor and I put my C920 webcam centered on top. The cam is front-back-held by the lightbar's mount. The USB cable that came with the lightbar sits between the back of the cam and the lightbar mount's joint and and because it's a flat cable it doesn't interfere with the cam's stability.

Best solution I’ve found to solve the camera issue is just put it on the side and use nvidia broadcast (assuming you have any sort of nvidia gpu i your machine). It will automatically software zoom and pan the camera to center your upper body and head. It even has this beta feature that basically makes it look to your meeting participants as if you are looking directly at them. Best part is it’s free.

I actually have a hack for setting up the light bar: tape it to the bottom of the monitor. This might sound crazy but there's a lot of benefices for this setup: no screen glare, you won't see the light source directly, centered webcam, and if you have a monitor riser behind your monitor and your light bar has a remote knob, which is my case, you wouldn't see the light bar at all.

Why arent lightbars mounted under the monitor? Reasoning, the monitor itself is a light source, you only need/want light on the table. You dont want external light on the monitor to reduce glare, therefore, you have to go out of your way to make sure light does not hit the surface of the monitor. If we put lights under the monitor, does that not solve all the problems?

Because you couldn't lit up stuff on the table otherwise and instead would smash light directly in your own eyes, any object on table, for instance keyboard, would also create huge shadows making light pretty much pointless or would make things even worse than without it. There is no problem with lightbar on screen, it makes perfect sense to have it exactly there

My biggest concern is longevity and failure rates. I've looked up a lot of them, but it seems like there's an alarming number of them that fail within one year of use (even BenQ's seem to have some, albeit lower rates compared to the rest). Xiaomi's light bar seems to have the highest failure rates among the light bars from a reputable brand (i.e. not counting the Amazon/Aliexpress/no-brand models that all look like the same thing), with many reviews mentioning that the build quality of the parts you can see on the outside is very high and feels very premium, but the internals are complete garbage and tend to fail within a few months for no apparent reason. Anyway, this video cements my belief that curved monitors are an unnecessary, gimmicky invention with negligible benefits and were made to solve a non-existent problem and get more money out of customers. I bought one just to try and had used it for over a year before selling it and switching back to my flat display (with the same specs), and while I don't have problems with the monitor itself, I don't think it has any major advantage over a flat display with the same specs. If anything, its cons outweigh its pros.

@@whitexeno Desk lamps take up desk space quite easily and lightbars are more minimalistic and take up no desk space at all. U also can't rly have perfectly centred lighting with desk lamps that lightbars provide since desk lamps are always positioned on the left or ride side of the desk. Not to mention that if u were to get a desk lamp with a very long arm to try and position it perfectly centre on ur desk, it will also be very awkward and unwieldy, and it takes up space in front of u which will block ur vision from the monitor. It's also harder to find desk lamps that won't shine on your monitor since they're not designed with monitors in mind like lightbars are. Therefore, lightbars r the obvious choice for anyone with these issues, especially for ppl who care a lot about aesthetics.

@@btodtv the "DO not [x] until [this]" is click-bait by nature, adds nothing about the actual matter of the video. Sort of a "login to see prices" or any other cheap Catch-22 dumb-oriented marketing technique. clickbait is the worst and most annoying aspect of any content provider. Also, none of the advises given in your video relate to Pre-Buy or are Shopping-relevent.. It's mostly all about usage & post-purchase advises, and applicable to pretty much any model. This kind of title can and should only be used for serious warning and cautions.. TLDR: avoid click-bait headline, always.

unbelievable that people still buy lightbars... they have absolute ZERO function or practicality. Its the 2020s! not 1990s FFS! The light source needs to be behind the monitor screen, NOT infront XD

Zero functionality? They provide a clear, direct, and centred light source to ur desk lol. U can't get more practical than that. Light sources behind monitors r typically for aesthetic purposes and will not be as bright and direct as a lightbar is. Light sources (especially warm lighting) behind monitors r also good to take care of ur eyes since they provide ambient lighting which helps counter a direct light source from ur monitor in a dark environment from shining into ur eyes. Therefore, if u need good lighting on ur desk like if you're writing or reading stuff, then lightbars are the way to go. That is what I call practical compared to light sources behind ur monitor that mainly only provide ambient lighting.

@ReferenceThisObject For the ones that still bleed light onto the monitor itself, I totally see your point. But the BenQ light bar is pretty capable, and it would be nice if other brands found a way to make their ones more useful. I don't think the concept of a light bar is inherently poor, it's just the execution. It's also definitely more of a problem if you're someone who has a monitor with a glossy screen.
