Frequently Asked Questions

Is RGB good for gaming?

Although a backlit RGB gaming monitor mostly has a decorative effect, it can also significantly affect how you play. The RGB LEDs on the rear of gaming monitors serve many practical purposes, such as enhancing contrast or lessening eye fatigue.

Is gaming better in the dark or light?

If you play video games in the dark, your eyes will continuously have to adjust to the colors on your screen. Thus, it is better to play games in a well-lit room. Playing video games in the dark strains your eyes, dries them out, causes headaches, and can likely impair your vision.
