Razer has already announced a bunch of stuff at CES 2024, including spec upgrades to its Blade gaming laptops, a USB-C dock, an upgraded gaming chair, and so forth. Very happy for them. Personally, I’m psyched about this business-in-the-front, party-in-the-back Aether Monitor Light Bar.
On the front, the Aether has a businesslike CRI 95 temperature-adjustable white light that goes up to 500 lux. By day, it illuminates your desk in high CRI light without creating glare on your monitor or cluttering your desk. It has capacitive touch controls. It’s tasteful. Practical. Utilitarian.
And once you’re off the clock? The back of the light bar is RGB city, baby. Bathe your walls in 16.8 million colors! Chroma RGB integration! Sync it to your games! Sync it with all the other Aether lamps in your Razer Gamer Room! Sync it to the lights on your case fans! Go absolutely nuts with it.
The Aether Monitor Light Bar also supports Matter, so it’ll integrate with your smart home as well as all the other Matter lighting products we’ve tested. It’ll cost $129.99 when it ships in March 2024, along with the other Aether lights.
