Recently, I reviewed the BenQ ScreenBar Plus monitor light bar, and after the review, many users told me that ScreenBar Plus is a good option but expensive for Indian buyers. They asked if I could suggest a more budget-friendly alternative option. So, I began searching and found an interesting and unique option on Amazon India – the Quantis ScreenLinear 2-in-1 RGB monitor light bar.
This Quntis ScreenLinear Monitor RGB light bar works as a typical monitor light bar and also illuminates your monitor background with RGB, adding a creative or gaming vibe to your desktop setup. I’ve seen many light bars before, but this one caught my attention because it offers RGB lighting options and standard light bar features. I’ve been using this Quntis Monitor RGB light bar for the last week. Here is my detailed experience with this Quntis ScreenLinear RGB light bar.

Design, Features, and Performance
First, I really liked that despite its low price, there hasn’t been much compromise on the build quality. The main chassis of the light bar is made of metal, giving it a strong and durable feel. The counterweight clamp part is also well-built. You can tell from its weight that the build is solid. Plus, the counterweight clamp is detachable and has a universal design, so it can easily attach to any monitor, whether flat or curved screen. Furthermore, it can even be attached to laptop screens.
The length of the light bar is approximately 16 inches, which is an ideal size for monitors ranging from 15 to 27 inches, though there’s also an option for a 20-inch variant if needed. Given its low price tag, there are some compromises, like we don’t get a desk controller with it. However, this isn’t much of a miss because it includes touch-sensitive buttons – two of them, one on the right side and the other on the left. The left side button controls the normal light, while the right side button manages the RGB light.
The RGB light comes with a total of 15 preset modes, out of which 6-7 are static modes like green, blue, red, white, and purple, and then preset effects like rainbow, water, and breathing. Overall, I found the RGB light effects pretty cool. The brightness of the RGB light is also quite good. It definitely gives my PC setup a unique and creative look.
Another feature I really liked, which many premium light bars don’t have, is that you can easily adjust the angle up to 180 degrees. This means you can direct the RGB and regular light in any direction you prefer, according to your use.
In the regular light bar, there are some customization options. You get three levels of brightness and temperature adjustment options. However, the Quntis ScreenLinear RGB light bar doesn’t have dynamic temperature or brightness adjustment, which can be considered a downside. But given its low price, it’s hard to complain much. The three-level adjustment is usually enough, but having dynamic adjustment and ambient light sensor options would have made it even better. Still, it’s not a deal-breaker.
The performance of the Quntis ScreenLinear Monitor RGB Light Bar is good; there is no compromise here. After setting up this light bar at a height of 25 inches, it easily covers a desk area of 27 x 17 inches, and in the centre, you can expect an output of 700-750 lux. So yes, the brightness of the light is quite good.
So, yes, it has limited controls, but there’s no compromise in terms of the light’s main purpose.
Quntis ScreenLinear Monitor RGB Light Bar Worth Buy?
Overall, this product is good and unique. It’s a 2-in-1 monitor light bar, serving as both an RGB and a normal monitor light bar. Whether you’re in work mode, gaming, or entertainment mode, this light covers all uses. So, if you’re looking for a budget monitor light bar, you should definitely consider the Quntis ScreenLinear RGB Light Bar.
