lighting Halo 6 LED kit this allows you
0:19
to backlight your monitor for continuous comfortable viewing it reduces eye
0:24
fatigue enhances color definition and increases viewing hours okay it has also
0:30
been found that with these led backlighting things for your monitors
0:34
you can reduce your eye fatigue enhance color definition and increase your oh no
0:40
hold on I'm reading the wrong see I'm I'm looking at a cheat sheet over there
0:43
and I read through the ones that were already here so uh bring out colors more
0:49
clearly darken blacks and increase the perceived contrast ratio so let's see
0:53
what they have to say for themselves makes it easy to outfit your monitor
0:56
with professional backlighting bias lighting adds a subtle white backlight
0:59
to your monitor reducing eye fatigue and increasing perceived image Clarity the color and brightness of the LEDs are
1:04
carefully calibrated to achieve the optimal viewing experience and increase your monitor's perceived contrast ratio
1:08
so that's on there making blacks blacker and colors more vibrant simply attach
1:12
the LED strip to the back of your monitor and insert the USB plug in an open USB port on your computer or
1:16
powered USB hub the sound science Halo 6 LED bias lighting kit complement any
1:20
monitor up to 24 in in size well then
1:23
let's unbox this bad boy
1:27
done now let's install it okay okay here we
1:34
go so this is a 24in monitor which is
1:38
apparently it is good for up to 24 in
1:41
I'm going to go ahead and I'm going to plug this in to the USB port free USB
1:47
port yes ha now we have
1:51
LEDs cool beans okay we also have some
1:54
protective film on the front go ahead pull that off okay
2:01
and then we have adhesive backing on the back so what you want to do is find a
2:05
spot on the back of the monitor where it will reflect off the wall and give
2:11
the back wall behind the monitor some
2:14
glow halo effect around it this is
2:18
what and this is not just sound science saying this this is not what
2:25
um rather it's not just sound science saying this but the light behind the
2:31
monitor is what helps to achieve the enhanced comfort and decreased fatigue
2:37
which are sort of both the same thing that can be achieved by using these
2:41
products I'm going to put it sort of approximately in the middle of the monitor as middle as I can get and I'm
2:48
going to stick it there then I'm going
2:51
to turn the lights down a little bit in here because we've got the I mean we
2:55
have it everything on including my filming lights over there so that it's
2:59
very very very bright in here so I'll just get my I'll get to stay over there
3:03
and I'm turn this one off as well so
3:06
there now you can get a better idea of in more like a normal lighting scenario
3:10
how much of a backlight glow it's going to throw off the back of the monitor so
3:14
here let me just move this one so you can see along the side there now I
3:19
haven't actually tried using one of these products in the past but I am
3:22
going to try this one and I'll um I'll try and remember to post some kind of an
3:26
update and let you guys know but thank you for checking out my unboxing of the sound science bias lighting don't forget

3:43
goes slick informs me that it was kind of hard to see how much of a glow there
3:47
was because I was changing the lighting in the room and then I was turning on
3:51
the bias lighting so here I'm showing you guys on and off on and off don't
