Antec Soundscience Halo 6 LED Bias Lighting Kit Review

Today I will be taking a look at this simple LED lighting kit from Antec, sure it may not be up there with the usual enthusiast hardware that we often feature on the site, but sometimes simple is effective.

So what does this thing do? well it’s a simple LED light strip that you stick on the back of your monitor to add a subtle lighting effect behind your monitor, this can help reduce eye fatigue and can general improve your viewing experience.

“The colour and brightness of the LEDs are carefully calibrated to achieve the optimal viewing experience and increase your monitor’s perceived contrast ratio – making blacks blacker and colours more vibrant.” – Antec.co.uk

I’ve been using the larger Soundscience lighting kit mounted to the back of a 46″ 3DTV for a few months now, although I never thought to review it when I purchased it. That kit however is much longer than the one we’re looking at today as this one is only suitable for monitors up to 24″ in side, but the technology, features and performance is the same, the only difference is the length of the strip of lights.

So lets take a quick look at the basic specification then well move on and take a closer look at what this little gadget has to offer.
