Is this applicable to computer monitors too - or do they require a different type/temperature of lighting?

yes it works great. They use a standard USB port on your computer. Keep in mind it will be a little long so you have 2 options. You can either cut it down some in length by cutting on the lines, which the instructions tell you how on the back of the box, OR you can just overlap. I chose to overlap mine on the back of my 27" monitor which makes it even a little brighter. I love it. See the picture of mine at night:http://imgur.com/W5HOyKl,5U6micC#1

That's a good question, I'm not too sure on that. My guess would say that it would work with computer monitors just as long as it had a USB port on the back of the monitor to power the lights.

Yes, you can use this but it would be a waste to cut this down to a size small enough to fit a average size computer monitor. Antec makes bias lighting specifically for computer monitors and such in a smaller size and cheaper price.

Sorry I can't help, I never use them, I have indirect lighting in the rooms I use my monitors in.Good luck, I know there are some nice filters out there, co-workers of mine have had them in the past.

Yes, my computer doesn't work when the light is on. The light is so good I work around it. I can't see the computer in the dark anyway.

I'm not sure what you mean about color temperature or light output. We just replaced the same ones that were in our track lighting in our living room as when we bought it. They are on a dimmer switch.

No. In your case the Antec will do nothing to improve your monitor viewing. People entering your office will be irritated by looking at the lights directly as they enter your office.

In essence, yes. You might have to tweak around with color settings until you get some good preset. Ones that come with the monitor suck arse. The monitor itself is used for datasheet viewing and I have no problems with it. It is a very good monitor and I plan on buying another one when my pocket allows it.

Not so great for photo editing. Only a few LED-backlit monitors have even color across the whole screen. Also, this monitor is quite bright, and is operating outside of its comfort range when turned down to 80 candelas/square meter, the standard photo editing brightness.Good for the other things though. I think the requirements for movie-watching and photo editing are quite dissimilar, especially in the brightness department. Jim

If you have the correct USB cable, yes. Item does not include a "lighting" cable.

I used it to calibrate my desktop and laptop with no problems. If you want constant monitoring for light you have to have the device connected to that computer.

Hello... On the lower setting it should be fine.On the high setting it brightens my complete office, like a sunny Cali day.

No, not really. Software on the disk duplicates the control buttons on the monitor and displays patterns on the screen which can help you to adjust brightness and contrast. Windows driver works just fine.

What Mike said. They're all LCDs with LED backlighting. Some better than others. This one's a great monitor though, especially for the price! Only advice I have is if purchasing more than one for a multi-monitor set up you will 100% need some calibration software. I bought two and they are completely different temps. Not even close (this is standard with monitors within the industry). Calibration is a must...but well worth it for product at this price point.

Not too sure. All I know is the display needs a VGA adapter. Now whether you can find a VGA to lightening connector is beyond my knowledge

I can't answer that question right now. I do know that my unit is dark and does not emit any disturbing display light whatsoever.

Googling for an answer shows that they are two different labels used to market the same item.http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/57617-3-difference-backlit-monitors

All I can tell you is that I run a laptop on it just fine. I assume lights draw less current than the laptop?

I'm not sure what you mean by computer light but my answer would still be no. They are very shear and do not block any light or provide privacy. They are very pretty but you have to tweek them to get any kind of blocking or privacy from them
