Razer Aether Monitor LED Light Bar: Front & Back Lighting - Wide Natural Illumination - Fits Most Monitor Sizes - Chroma RGB - Works with Alexa, Google Home - Razer Gamer Room App for Unified Control

Super clean design with bright, customizable RGB. Adds great lighting to my setup without glare on the screen. Easy to install and looks awesome definitely worth it if you’re into aesthetics and functionality.

The light bar does the job greatly, you can change through light color (cold or warm) and light intensity as well, this functionality is great. The chroma is what you would expect, but as I also read in other reviews, it does not update with Synapse, at least that easily.What I didn't "like" is that you have to have the lights on for the chroma to work, you can't have one or the other, you need to have both lights on, or none...But overall, happy with my purchase, although it could've been cheaper.

it’s a cool light bar. I have all Razer peripherals, so it was cool to be able to get a light bar as well. I noticed a comment that stated you cannot turn off the RGB and the LED separately. That is incorrect, but you will need the gamer room app. I do use this with my PC so you are able to override it with the synapse software and sync it with the rest of your Razer products. When your PC is asleep or off, you are able to control the light bar via the touch bar on the unit or the Razer Gamer Room App.

Should be cheaper for the area it covers

The primary functionality of a monitor light bar should be light control, so there isn’t glare and image degradation on the display. There should be a sharp cutoff of light going straight down from the aperture, which is most definitely not the case with this light bar. I would not recommend this light bar until this is addressed.

Bought it mainly for the RGB up-lighting, the desk lamp feature is nicer than expected. It's now my nightlight in my room and paints the whole wall in colors. Dimmable dyi.

Cons: Overpriced, poor light diffusion, inability to angle the light, poor front light hue's and diffusionPros: RGB on the back is nice(this feature can be had for far less $ though)100% would not suggest this light bar. Benq has far better options for a front facing light, Govee has far better options for a rear facing light. There is no reason to buy this, when those two other options combined are the same price and do a far better job. I returned my Benq and this razer and just kept the Govee rear lights as the "reading" modes etc are plenty of brightness for my desk tasks and the light comes from behind so my pen does not cast a shadow. This light ruins the look of an expensive OLED or 4K IPS screen from a light diffusion perspective.Then there is the god awful software. I bought the control pod as well and I have spent the last 4 hours trying to get this POS to connect reliably. Using multiple LLM's to troubleshoot, and the only answer that is consistent is that the device i received must have unresolvable hardware, firmware, or software issues - which i am 99% certain it does not and the software is just garbage. If it can't pair a scroll knob, idk how RGB functions and syncing those functions across hardware is going to work.

Very nice light. Fits on top of my 27" monitor very well. The colors are bright. The white light is bright enough for the room, but not overpowering. Easy connectivity with Razer apps.
