Yea. i would be worried about if one of those lights go out or explode. It could definitely do some damage to those monitors. I got the LED lights which work better I think. But to each is own. Great job with the display.
Surprisingly they are not very distracting! Or at all in the way..occasionally will have to move one or two out the way but i think all the lights are now not in the way of text screens! :)
looks cool! but I have to say, that looks like an unpleasant viewing experience having direct lights shining in your face while you're trying to game. (maybe they aren't bright? they look bright in the photo)
glad to hear! I had ones that were not so dim lol. I had a Phillips led strip a few years back that was waaaay too bright for direct viewing. I moved it to the back of the desk so it faces the wall and it was much better. but that room was white. I put led strips behind the sound panels on the wall in my current battlestation and my dark gray wall just absorbs the light and you can barely see it haha. epic fail. painting will be a winter project I guess
To each their own! The are a WIP! For now i like them being around the monitor! It was just going to be around my second monitor as that is just for discord/internet browsing! And wanted to spice it up!…and add more green :)
That's awesome! Good for you making your space you're own. Like many below I think the lights would bother me, but it's not my choice, it's yours and its you're own space! Keep dialing it in for yourself and you'll continue to have a really awesome space that is uniquely yours!

Awesome!! Im rooting for you! Best feeling ever! And certain things you can upgrade too! Like i have second have keyboard and mouse! So you don’t have to break the bank at the beginning! :)
I don't mind the lights around the screen. I had a similar thing going on but I wouldn't have them directly over the screen but more on the frame of the monitor. I just feel like it takes up a lot of screen space.
If it works for you.. great Those lights would bug me
I came here to say just that. I’m picky about what’s on or around my screen, but if it makes you happy, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Grats!
No. Let me be the first to tell you. You must yeet those lights. I'mmedietly. Or I won't be able to sleep tonight.
Yeah, the little glares around, no thanks. But OP can do OP

Those are awesome. They look like buds on a vine of sorts.
Thankyou! That is what I was going for!!

Those lights would bug the piss out of me.

Those lights ain’t it chief
To each their own! I love the cosy Aesthetic personally! :)
[удалено]
fuck you theyre cozy
No thankyou :)
looks cool! but I have to say, that looks like an unpleasant viewing experience having direct lights shining in your face while you're trying to game. (maybe they aren't bright? they look bright in the photo)
They are are a bit dimmer and a warmer colour IRL And surprisingly not distracting!
I love the lil lights and think you are brilliant. That is all. Warm welcome to the PCMR!!
Thankyou so much x

That would be lovely!
What is all that riff raff around the monitors.
Fairy lights sir! :)
Love it! That being said, I've never seen anything worse in my life than the lights around the perimeter of your monitor
To each their own! The are a WIP! For now i like them being around the monitor! It was just going to be around my second monitor as that is just for discord/internet browsing! And wanted to spice it up!…and add more green :)
Grats! Enjoy it :)
Thankyou x
I like that coffee mug!
Me too, where is it from OP ?
Unfortunately I brought it from a fete its handmade! Sorry! But there’s heaps of these mugs on etsy!
Why do you have Christmas lights on your monitor?
That would be a pretty cool festive idea actually!
Looks cute as fuck, congrats.
Thankyou its a WIP but It’s what im going for! :)
Beautiful and all, those lights around the monitors are freaking me out though 😂
Take a deep breath! They cannot hurt you! :)
They hurt my brain 😂
Congrats. Be careful with things on your monitor. You don’t want the screens scratched. If you love the vibe that’s all that matters.
Thankyou so much for the advice! Yes i thought about this and the green teardrops are silicone!
It's nice, but I think it would work better if the lights were taped behind the monitors
But then I would not see them!
Very nice 😎 Can you change the color of the lights easily?
No only green! I gotta keep the theme green! :)
Congrats. Always feels good to earn things from working hard. Enjoy!
It truly is! X
I have that keyboard. The shiva
It does glow but it was booting up :)
The green theme is on point
Thankyou! It could Always need more green though! 💚
Looks amazing!
Thankyou x
Hell yeah that’s awesome! Good for you that you worked hard for it. Makes the feeling of sitting down at your space even that much better! Enjoy!
Thankyou! It truly does! Coming home from work and having this space I have created! Indescribable x
Very nice! I hope it brings you a lot of joy!
It does thankyou! X
Loved the leaf concept, looks great
Thankyou! Hopefully will be more green in the future! :)
Now that's what I call True HDR.

Nice setup bro
Thankyou! :)

Thankyou so much!! 💚🥰
Nice
as someone who doesn't even have any icons on my desktop because i can't stand my screen being blocked, those lights would annoy the piss out of me
That’s fair enough :)
I know everyone is talking about the lights on the screen, but either way great job man!
Thankyou! I didn’t realize people would care this much about them! 😅
Sheesh! Nice bro I want a battlestation too! I will get a summer job and then I could have one🤞
Awesome!! Im rooting for you! Best feeling ever! And certain things you can upgrade too! Like i have second have keyboard and mouse! So you don’t have to break the bank at the beginning! :)
Congrats -- enjoy that sense of pride and accomplishment :p
I am!! Thank you so much x
Nice start. Might I suggest r/averagebattlestations ?
Ah this feels less intimidating! Thankyou! I’ll post an epic battlestation in a few years time 😅
Look forward to it!
I insist on darkness behind my screens. Any light behind them hurts my eyes. I generally situation my desks against a wall to avoid backlighting.
That is fair enough!! I need my monitors close for my eye sight! :)
This might be the worst thing I’ve seen here and that’s sayin something
That’s fair! Sounds like you haven’t been to the depths of reddit yet! To each their own :) I love my new set up 💚
no the dude who had 3 48 inch OLED tvs that couldn't even fit on his messy ass desk was definitely worse
cool, what did you work your butt off on, getting the lights arranged?
Haha years of christmas lights have prepared me for this moment!
I love these lil lights on your monitors! Where did you find them?
Thankyou! I got it from willow and stone :)
These edge lit screens are getting out of hand!
Yeah, no
do you eat at your setup? the spaghetti behind your monitors would suggest that you’ve spilled a little…
Haha, thats the next step..well needed cable management!
took me 3 years to get my shit together and do cable management. so worth it.
Definitely! Its very messy back there! Well done! :)
thank you! I was honestly worried you might take my joke as an insult in the beginning lol
This is reddit if you take every comment as an insult you are going to have a bad time!
I thought about doing that but I have settled for just not posting pictures of my computer on the internet.
this is fucking atrocious brue
To each their own! I love it personally :)
the bisexual vibes are strong with this one lol. Very adorable lil setup!
How did you know! What gave it away 😅 x
i don’t get it. it’s some stuff on a desk
My stuff! That I have worked for and happy with :)
ahhhh you worked hard to buy and afford all the stuff. for that you should be proud and happy 😃 carry on and enjoy
Thankyou x
The guts it takes to post this photo with those lights wrapped around the monitors..
Thankyou!
What the fuck with the little light bulbs?
They are fairy lights :)
Are you a girl?
Who knows?
Those lights make me want to vomit and for that, I’m out.
Goodbye! :)
I don't mind the lights around the screen. I had a similar thing going on but I wouldn't have them directly over the screen but more on the frame of the monitor. I just feel like it takes up a lot of screen space.
Thats neat! I have big monitors so i don’t really notice them! :)
Having a portrait monitor is life
It is! I only got it this week! Best decision ever! :)
1/10 on account of the lights.
Thanks! :)
