Mounting Light Bar on Monitor

[dudka]

Hi everyone,

I have a 23" monitor and a very light weight LED light bar that will fit perfectly on the back. I've rigged it with some painters tape just to see what it will look like... and it works great for some ambient light/eye strain.

So, what would be a good way of adhering the light bar... Velcro? Something I could buy at Lowes or Home Depot kind of idea.

Thanks!

Double sided foam tape (available at the big-box stores) is a pretty good way to install.

I figured as much. The back of the monitor is slightly rounded but if that's the going rate... I'm down.

Thanks!

One benefit of FOAM tape is that it conforms well. Since it has a 1/8 in thickness, it can help with alignment issues.

I can snag you a picture tomorrow but it's nothing special. In a few magazines I saw that a light behind the monitor can relieve eye stress (I'm reading a computer screen all day at work too). It almost helps soften the whites when I'm reading something or I can keep the room dark and still get a little ambient light around the desk etc. I would definitely recommend it if you can pull something like that off.

That's interesting. I'd like to see that.

I'm constantly having to adjust the Brightness on my monitor way down for working or reading. Then have to adjust it back up when gaming. Back and forth... it's annoying.
