![The BEST Monitor Light Bar yet - [YEELIGHT Monitor Light Bar Pro]](/img/n.gif)
Thank you very much for this review. So far it's the the most clarifying one I've seen. All other reviewers leave out so much about this lamp (like how he knob works).
thanks! glad I was helpful.
Thank you bro! Your video really help me!
Nice review and t-shirt, greetings from Amsterdam ;)
thanks!!!
great video. most clear visual information so far about this product.
although your speaking falls a bit short
Thank you! Its a very useful review. They should make a new version with a little shade or protector towards the eye, because it seems as of right now, you have to pick between monitor glare or having it shine right in your eyes. i think i will still buy one.
I will have to agree. That would definitely improve the screenbar! :) Thanks!
Thanks for the review. Is this screenbar compatible with all shapes of the monitor's back?
Thanks for the youth vs fighting version difference. Such a weird naming scheme
no problem. yeah, the names they give are a bit weird.
Awesome video! However, isn't it bad for our eyes if the ambient lighting is dark?
Hi Mark, would you know if these bars are suitable for laptops? Specifically a Macbook Pro.
Also remember difference is also light quality. Fighting version has Color rendering index of 95, youth version have only 80. I have youth version right now and i will tel you light quality is bad compared to incandescent light which is better in every possible way. Now it does its job preventing eyestrain, doesn't seems to flicker, buttons are responsive and lamp have good built quality, but i will never use it as standalone lamp at desk as it fail in one of most important thing to me.
Thanks for the added info! :)
nice video
Thanks, Vitor!
I bought the Youth version and it works best kasi I used the iMac pa dati but now that I’ll be using a new monitor with thin bezels then I noticed that it’s pressing masyado sa screen 😭 kaya I removed it na lang to avoid damage sa screen. Someone suggested this Fighting version and I hope this will work on my LG 27ul850. Glad I found your review!! ❤️ Subbed!
thanks so much!
I have the same problem, did you find an solution?
@@renneraugusto I bought the Fighting pro version and solved my dilemma 😁
@@FranzEscolasticoDesigns hahaha that’s not the answer I waiting for, but thank you 😂 i’ll do it
@@renneraugusto 😆
hi! i think the link in the description is for the youth version? is it true that there are no more fighting editions being produced?
Thank you for noticing. It looks like they may have updated the Lazada post. I'm not sure if they discontinued the Fighting edition but I have found one here - tinyurl.com/8kjxxuhz and updated the link in the description.
No one questioned whether the mount mechanism is pushing a screen with zeros or small ones bezzels on monitor.
And yes same video and all Baseus light bars have this problem.
Well, this plastic part presses the screen on the front, it becomes visible leaving a white shadow that over time, maybe even in 1 month, creates a big
and unexpected problem with the crystals and the screen panel in general. Some guys open the mechanism by removing a spring inside but still accomplish nothing.
I found a solution where I applied it and I have peace of mind. I stuck on the back of the lightbar base where it is also a counterweight very strong double-sided sticky tape and it became
a body screen and bar. It hasn't moved in months and I can move the light dial without fear of it falling. But how is it possible for screens of €600 and above to allow such products
to damage your screen. Never again Baseus. Check for BenQ peoples!
Hi! Do you think this is also great if I will stick it to the wall? I only use a laptop with a webcam on it so I thought adding another accessory to my laptop wouldn’t look great. Does this one will work if I stick it to the wall or the youth ver. Is better for this? Than you.
Hi! Yes, you can do it that way too. I recommend having this version (fighting) if you'll mount it that way because of the mechanism. You'll have more options how to mount it like using hooks or other things it can cling to or even 3M tape as compared to the youth version where you might have a hard time mounting it - only way I can think of is using 3M tape at the back.
How is the clipping mechanism? If i have monitor arm and i usually move the monitor, will it drop? (I wont flip it 90 degrees but i do constantly tilt it forward and back and move around)
Also what is considered a better model this or the youth?
Hi, I would recommend this (fighting version) more than the youth. This actually doesn't clip on to your monitor. It sits on top of the monitor bezel and have the other half as a stand or holder to balance it. The youth version is the one that clips to your monitor causing some pressure on the screen for some (from what I heard/read). If you have a thick monitor, moving it around wouldn't really make it fall out but if its a thin one, the youth version might be better as it "clips".
Hi Mark, what is the length of the USB-c inbox? I have a big concern about it, because my monitor is using arm and limited usb-A. I have one way to connect i-work with AC power by bringing the cable goes inside the arm to power.
It's around 4.8ft almost 5ft. You can use a longer / different USB-C to USB-A if you need to. But I'm using the one in the box and goes thru a monitor arm towards a power outlet under the desk. :) Hope that helps.
@@mpluspo Thank Mark, I just got light at a moment. Luckily, the length has been worked perfectly as my setups.
@@phanngocthinh1984 cool
Is there something similar, but for lighting back of the monitor?
Usually lights at the back of the monitor are made out of LED strips. It's usually called LED strips/LED lights/TV or Monitor backlights. Some are USB powered and are usually RGB in color. More advanced ones can change color the same as the picture in the monitor for added effect. :) Try searching "monitor backlight led strip" in google and see if this is something you had in mind.
my baseus screen lightbar is tight that it is pressing my monitor. As if there are light leaks appearing, Is there anything we can lessen the tightness of its clamp or adjusting it ? Thanks
Do you have the Youth version? I heard from some user reviews that the youth version does that. They eventually switched to the Fighting version like what I have. It's easier to adjust and move without actually pressing on the screen.
Which one would you recommend for the imac 2021? Thank you
I would recommend the fighting version. It's easier to place on top of the screen. It should work with the iMac 2021 really well. I think the fighting version only comes in black though.
Does it creates stress on the monitor? I am using LG 29 inch monitor. I don't want to damage the screen due to aluminum in the hold or the pressure. Please give your feedback on that
The fighting version will not put pressure on the monitor. I have an LG 29 inch ultrawide and the screenbar just sits on top. The Youth version however, might put some pressure. So make sure to get the fighting version which is in the video.
You are absolutely right! Thanks!
if this is fighting ver DGIWK-P01 it's can be stepless adjust color temp by long power pressure but here is no info about it
Hi, doing a long press on the power button turns off the light. If I press the power button it will change the color temp.
How does this compare to the Xiaomi Mi Light Bar with Remote Control?
I haven't tried the Xiaomi MI Light Bar but I'm guessing besides the remote control, it's basically the same. The remote is definitely a nice to have if you have space in your desk.
I also bought this screenbar recently, a brand new one of course. When I turn it on (both in min and max light), I can instantly hear a buzzing noise. It sounds like zuh zuh zuh..., very small but in a quite ambience, I can hear it clearly and it's really annoying. Do you have the same problem? I'm quite confusing that this noise is an error of the light and might be harmful for health.
I don't hear any buzzing noise for both min or max light. Even when it was new or until now, there's no noise. Try plugging it in a different USB port or directly to a USB power outlet. See if it makes any difference. If it's new and under warranty, try having it replaced.
@@mpluspo Thank you
Hi Long Nguyen. Have you resolved the problem of the sound ? I just bought this screenbar today and i have the same noise
@@johannlim6184 Hi there. I returned the sceenbar because can't fix the problem. I think it's a common problem for one whole production batch that Baseus released
Same experience :( I just received it today and omg super distubring nung buzzing noise???? hopefully mareturn ko pa :( super excited to use it pa naman.
do you think it will suits on a notebook/laptop that has 34cm length or width. Second what about the knob if you turn anti-clockwise, will it dim or you can only turn the knob clockwise.
The screenbar is 46.5cm so it will be wider than the notebook/laptop itself. Yes, the know turns clockwise/anti-clockwise to dim/brighten the light. :)
@@mpluspo thx mark luspo, looking forward for you to be a well known youtuber in philipine and Asia market
thanks!
I am bothered by that glare on that border, will it affect the display on my monitor?
Not much as long as your monitor is bright and has a white/light image. If its black or darker (I have dark mode on) you'll notice glare on top. Mine has a little glare up to my browser's address bar when maximize and I have a dark mode edge browser. The rest of the monitor display is good. Also, my monitor has a matte finish so if the monitor is glossy it might have more glare.
Which do you prefer, fighting or youth?
I like the fighting better. It looks cleaner on my setup because of the "hidden" knob dial compared to the youth which has the glossy touch buttons on one side.
What color temperature did you like the most?
I use the white light (5000K) more often since it's the same color as my room light. :)
Does it work with curved monitors ?
Yes, it does. Shouldn't be a problem.
Que versión me recomiendas para un monitor Samsung c27f390
Haven't tried it with a curved monitor but both should be good but the fighting version would probably be the safest bet since the base is more adjustable.
@@mpluspo fighting??
@@garrigos6 yes, it sounds weird but tbe 2 versions of the screenbar is called "youth" and "fighting" versions. not sure why.
Hello, would you mind telling us (me to be exact) po what kind of "always on USB" is worth buying po? ^-^
Hi! I have my baseus screenbar (fighting version) on my "always on USB" port and I believe its well worth it. I highly recommend it since even with my laptop turned off, I can use the screenbar as a desk lamp. I just move my keyboard out of the way and use it like a normal desk.
How to adjust the color temperature?
There's 3 color temperatures you can cycle thru by pressing the side button on this version. :)
How to click it to a borderless monitor?
It sits on top of the monitor. You just basically put it on top and have the back end balance it (it has some weight to it).
Which is better? The fighting or the youth version?
I haven't tried the youth version personally but I hear feedback that it puts pressure on your screen. It looks like it's limited to what type of monitor (or how thick/thin) you can "mount" it to unlike the fighting version, it has a bigger range of monitors it can support. And it looks cleaner. :)
@@mpluspo Thanks for the reply man. I bought the fight version and it's nice :D
@@ryanarqueza4520 cool! enjoy!
Can you use this with a macbook pro? Can you tilt it facing you para maging selfie ring light sya?
I'm not sure with a macbook pro or any other laptop kasi manipis yung lid niya diba? Pinapatong kasi to sa top ng monitor. So I guess pwede if up right ng tama yung monitor lid pero if slant baka medyo unstable. And yes, pwede siyang i-tilt towards you para maging selfie light. Hope that helps.
@@mpluspo i wish you could’ve said in english because i’m from malaysia literally have the same wondering.
@@rusyaidirahman119 Hi! I havent used it on a macbook pro or any laptop but I'm guessing it would be a challenge to use since it needs to just sit and rest on top of the monitor lid. If its too thin and tilted balance would be an issue. But if you find the correct position and wont be opening and closing the lid all the time, it might work. As for the light being used for selfies, yes you can. It can be moved to face you up to some degree. Hope that helps!
@@mpluspo thanks boss mark luspo, appreciate it
no problem!
Ang mount nya sa monitor, hindi sya naka press ba sa screen? If ndi mo ma notice, check mo with solid black background ang monitor. kasi ma notice mo na naka press sa screen if parang mag leak ang light ng monitor dahil sa mount.
hindi naman naka press sa monitor screen. basically nakapatong siya sa taas ng monitor and the counter weight sa back e yung nag kekeep ng balance. you can move it a bit forward not to touch the screen. also for my monitor na thin bezel e may allowance pa rin na black frame which is about 10mm before the actual screen so walang nahaharang na light or mismong screen. siguro unless you have a bezeless monitor and screen agad from the top then yes, it will block maybe 5mm ng screen where it is mounted but still wont press on the monitor. Hope that answers your question.
@@mpluspo thanks. Nagkamali kasi ako ng binili. Hahah. Pero yan pala ang need ko kasi malaki ang monitor ko. And thin bezels. Sa binili ko, yung mount naka press sa screen. Dilikado. Good for slim monitor lang kasi, ndi ko nabasa ang product details. 😭
@@RitchieLinao ohhh so iclip or iipit yang mabili niyo? naku baka di maganda yan in the long run if naka press sa monitor. baka mag bleed or masira overtime yung screen. hope masolutionan mo sir.
@@mpluspo meron na solution. pero hindi stable. ibigay ko nalang ito sa missis ko. kasi bibili rin ako ng external monitor para sa kanya. pero good rin dahil dalawa ang ma review ko. gawan ko kasi ito ng in-depth review. marami kasi ako na isip na maitulong sa mga meron balak bibili. Thanks sa time!
@@RitchieLinao Ayos sir! at least everybody happy. hehe charge to experience and mashashare mo pa sa subscribers mo. Can't wait for the review. Abangan ko!
