I got this for my daughter's computer set up as I thought it would be a fun addition to distance learning. She did not have anymore USB inputs to use on her laptop so was hoping that the USB on her monitor would be provide power. This was not the case and therefore can't be used in her room. I have this strand set up on my setup and do enjoy the added color that this strip provides. I am, however, not ready to commit to making it slightly more permanent with sticking the strip on my monitor.
