Work in progress: Double shadow issue with Xiaomi Mi Light Bar on monitor

By


I'm working on my setup & recently got a lightbar but I'm getting this annoying double shadow effect at the bottom of my monitor when using the Xiaomi Mi Light Bar. The light bar casts a shadow, but the bottom frame/bezel of my Dell UltraSharp U2723QE splits it into two distinct shadows.

What I've tried:

  • Adjusting the angle (no change)
  • Different heights (helps but I want it at the current height)
  • Already have LED strips behind monitor for bias lighting

Questions:

  1. Is this a known issue with the Mi Light Bar specifically?
  2. Is it something about the Dell U2723QE's bezel design that makes this worse?
  3. Should I try a different light bar brand/model?
  4. Or is this just how all monitor light bars work and I should accept it?

Has anyone found a good solution for this, or should I just stick with my LED strips and ditch the light bar entirely?

Thanks!
