Overview & Installation
The Bias Halo 6 lighting kit is a very simple device. It is a long strip of 6 LED’s connected by a USB cable for power. The kit is made to fit monitors up to 24-inches and will stick to the back of the display by a strip on the back.
As I said power is brought to the LED’s by way of USB. The cable connected to the kit is over 4 feet long so you shouldn’t have an issue getting it to reach to your tower.
Installing the LED strip on the back of your display is quite simple actually. I decided to install the kit on my ASUS MS246H 24-inch display. On the back of the kit is double-sided tape so you just remove the backing and put it on your display where you want it. I opted it put the kit right in the middle of my display.
Now all you have to do is plug the kit into an open USB port on your system and you are good to go. The 6 LED’s on the strip will light up and provide some great ambient lighting. I would have liked to see an on / off switch so I could turn the LED’s off when I wanted.
The most useless review on the most useless gadget that I’ve ever seen. 🙁
a little late in responding, but I only recently came across these. I found it to be interesting. I had never done this before
with a TV. I never thought about doing this before with a TV. I read about it
on my rss feed (source: http://pocinc.net/blog/technology-news/backlight-your-tv-with-antecs-led-bias-lighting-for-less-strain-in-the-dark
) and it mentioned it was good for defining the “depth” between your TV and the
wall behind it, and that it lowers eye strain. I spend a lot of time behind the
PC at work, so eye strain is a common thing for me. I had already taken the
brightness down on the TV itself which helped a little. Then I decided to try
this out. It does create a cool effect around the TV and doesn’t seem to be
distracting. It does seem to relieve our eyes a slight bit. Who comes up with
this stuff? So many thinkers in the world.
