Quntis RGB Pro+ Monitor Light review: specs, performance, cost

Quntis RGB Pro+ Monitor Light review

The Quntis RGB Pro+ is a monitor light that puts a spotlight on productivity with a flare of color.

The idea of a lamp on top of your monitor sounds silly initially, but reducing eye strain and contrast makes a big difference for focus throughout the day and evening. Paired with a remote control on your desk and an RGB backlight, it’s convenient and gives ample ambient lighting.

Quntis is a consumer electronic company specializing in desk and other home light accessories.

Quntis RGB Pro+ Monitor Light – Setup and controls

Out of the box, the Quntis RGB Pro monitor light comes mostly assembled. Attach the bar light to the support, and use the adhesive to stick to the support to the back of your monitor.

Twist the bar light to your preferred angle and plug it in with the 90-degree USB-C cable. Batteries are provided for the desk control, and pairing only takes a few seconds.

The desk control is intuitive, with a “dim and warm” to “cold and bright” light slider, a power button, and a toggleable RGB backlight button for different colors.

Quntis RGB Pro+ Monitor Light – Design and use

The 20-inch monitor bar light pairs quite well with my widescreen LG monitor, illuminating the screen and my belongings on my desk. For users with a curved monitor, the support has a plastic neck that extends around an inch so as not to interfere.

The general idea of a monitor light — or any desk lamp — is that it decreases the overall light contrast at your desk, which prevents eye strain. This monitor light does the job with 144 LEDs and no blinking or flickering over multiple weeks of use.

I typically use the dimmer and warmer lights in the evening and the brighter ones in the day to match the day/night cycle and maintain a cozy atmosphere at my desk. The extra light helps with my focus, especially when I’m going back and forth between my iPad and MacBook Pro when studying.

The RGB backlight doesn’t improve my productivity, but built-in indirect lighting is a plus. This is especially the case if you want your setup to have a certain color scheme.

Quntis RGB Pro+ Monitor Light – Reasonably premium

This is almost everything someone could expect from a fully decked-out monitor light. Anything more would detract from its main purpose, and that’s a fine line to toe from a design perspective.

For example, not everyone needs RGB, and most monitor lights don’t have it, but it’s a fun addition when so many other accessories in tech also come in RGB models.

As a student, this was an incredible upgrade in contrast to only relying on unchanging and sometimes harsh light of my screens. For remote workers and university students who spend long hours at their desks, I recommend investing the extra cash to help your eyes.

But I also don’t necessarily recommend putting down 60 dollars for a light with a remote control and backlight. The Pro+ is for the people who customize their setups from the desk up, color-coding and matching their peripherals.

  • RGB backlight and warm/cool light settings

Quntis RGB Pro+ Monitor Light Cons

  • Not everyone needs RGB
