When implemented well, colorful ambient lighting can be soft on the eyes and still illuminate a room while providing a nice effect. So, it isn't surprising that RGB is featured on most PC gaming devices and accessories.
Of course, there are also plenty of gaming devices that don't have RGB. So, if you want to add a colorful glow to your gaming room, a monitor light bar like the ASUS ROG Aura ALB01 can be a straightforward way to do just that.
I spent a couple of weeks using the ASUS ROG Aura Monitor Light Bar to get a better understanding of its capabilities and features.
While I appreciate its universal clamp, secure design, and LED desk lighting, I did find that the RGB lighting, while decent, didn't meet my expectations, especially given the price of this accessory.
