A light bar sits above the screen and aims down, so the desk is lit and the display is not. It also takes no desk space, because it stands on the monitor you already own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does it stay put?\u003c\/strong\u003e It rests on the top edge with a weighted counterbalance, so nothing clamps or sticks to the screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it fit a curved monitor?\u003c\/strong\u003e On a gentle curve, yes.
