Quntis ScreenLiear HY214-QU Monitor Light Review: Stepless Brightness and Color Temperature Adjustment

This time we will provide a review of the actual monitor light “Quntis ScreenLiear HY214-QU”, which allows stepless brightness adjustment (dimming) and color temperature adjustment. We were kindly provided with an actual device for this review.

This Quntis HY214 monitor light can use a wireless remote control to adjust the brightness and color temperature from 2700K to 5200K in 4 levels fixed or stepless. The Quntis HY210 I last reviewed was capped at just 4 levels, so the HY214 offers more brightness and color flexibility.

On the other hand, the HY210 uses a new three-stage clip that allows stable attachment of large monitors and curved monitors, but the HY214 uses a general clip, so it can be stably attached to large monitors and monitors. curved. cannot be connected to some large monitors (not recommended as it will be unstable).

summary

Actual inspection of the machine

The body of the Quntis HY214 is made of stainless steel and has a sturdy construction, so, like the HY210, it is stable even when placed on top of a monitor. The weight including the clip is approximately 322g, which is lighter than the HY210 (approximately 519g), so it doesn’t feel heavy even if you use a monitor arm.

The clip part has a non-slip finish, but be careful because there is a film at the beginning, so if you put it on without removing it, it will slip. All you have to do is post it

The bar part (width) of the lamp is 40 cm and, according to the official description, is equipped with 84 LED beads, which allow it to provide uniform lighting. HY214 also allows you to change the lighting angle. This eliminates the need to readjust the position of the clip, allowing you to easily adjust it to the desired position.

In addition to the main light section, Quntis HY214 also features a light on the back. It works as indirect lighting and is a useful way to provide brightness when working in dark environments.

Unfortunately, this backlight does not support brightness adjustment or color temperature adjustment via remote control. Also, please note that it is not possible to use only the backlight (indirect lighting) as the backlight cannot be used unless the HY214 is turned on.

Power is supplied to the main unit via the USB-C port on the back of the bar, so you can use your existing USB-C cable or use the included USB-A to USB-C cable. Therefore, if your monitor has a USB-A or C port, you can supply power directly, but depending on the specifications of your monitor, the light may not turn on (power may not be supplied) unless it is turned on.

By the way, the main unit generates a certain amount of heat if left on for a long time, so be careful as it was surprisingly warm to the touch when I tried to adjust the position.

Quntis HY214 also uses a dedicated remote control to adjust brightness and color temperature and requires 3 AA batteries to operate the remote control. Batteries are included in the package right from the start, so you can use them immediately after purchase. Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding it clockwise.

With the remote control you can turn the HY214 on and off, adjust the brightness, color temperature and turn the backlight on and off.

[+] OR [-] You can adjust each by tapping, and there are four levels of brightness and color temperature adjustment. For continuous adjustment,[+] OR [-] If you press and hold for more than 1 second, you can adjust each ◯ mark one by one. Therefore, you can set your preferred brightness or color temperature among 12 levels.

The brightness can be adjusted from 33% to 100% and the color temperature can be adjusted from 3000K to 6500K. The default 4-level adjustment is 10%, 50%, 75% and 100% brightness, and the color temperature is 3000K, 4000K, 5000K and 6500K.

The previous HY210 could only be configured approximately in four steps, but the new HY214 can now be precisely adjusted, making it easier to manually configure settings to suit your environment.

On the other hand, although you can now manually adjust the brightness, it does not have automatic brightness adjustment like the HY210. I think it’s a compromise to keep the price low, but it’s a little disappointing for users who don’t want to make changes themselves. That said, I think it would be better for these users to choose something like the HY210 rather than the HY214.

Also, like the HY210 I reviewed last time, the HY214’s power and brightness can only be controlled via the remote, so if it stops working due to some kind of malfunction or malfunction, you can turn it on and off directly the power by unplugging the cable, only you can do it. I don’t think you need to worry about it breaking anytime soon, but please be careful.

By the way, since there is no automatic brightness adjustment and there is no ambient light sensor mounted on the top of the main unit, placing the webcam in the top center of the HY214 will have no effect.

Whether or not it’s listed depends on the webcam, but it’s a good option for users who want to use a monitor light and webcam together.

Overall satisfaction is high, and while the lack of automatic adjustment may be a disadvantage, the advantage of the Quntis HY214 is that it allows continuous adjustment (12 levels) of brightness and color temperature, so it is better than automatic adjustment. for users who want to configure it manually.

The price is 8,680 yen, which is a little more expensive than the HY210, but it is relatively affordable among monitor lights with similar functions, and considering that products from popular brands cost more than twice as much, it is a good, easy-to-use model. find. scope. . Amazon occasionally offers sales coupons, so if you’re looking for a monitor light that allows you to manually adjust brightness and color temperature, check out the Quntis HY214 Monitor Light.
