Hot take: LED strips behind monitors are overrated

Everyone praises those RGB strips for reducing eye strain, but they've been causing more glare for me on my 27 inch panel. I switched to a simple warm desk lamp 3 feet away and my eyes dont feel fried after 4 hours of work. Anyone else ditch the lights for something simpler?

Yeah, totally. That glare is brutal. Swapped mine for a cheap desk lamp too.

Oh wow, @bethcarr you are so right about that! I had the same issue with my old lamp, it was like staring into the sun every time I tried to work. I ended up grabbing a little adjustable desk lamp from Target for like 15 bucks and it changed everything. No more squinting or headaches, and I can actually see what I'm typing now. The glare was just awful before, I couldn't focus on anything for more than a few minutes. It's crazy how such a simple fix makes that big of a difference.
