GRID Brows: Adjusting Display Height and Angle for Comfort

Quick Answer

Adjusting your GRID Brows height and angle ensures the RGB lighting sits at your natural eye level, reducing glare and neck strain. Follow the steps below to fine-tune the position for your cockpit.

Step-by-Step Adjustment Guide

1. Step 1: Attach the mounting brackets: Secure the included brackets to your monitor's top edge or to your cockpit frame using the provided hardware. Ensure the brackets are level and tight enough to support the weight of the GRID Brows without sagging. Common mistake: Overtightening can crack the bracket or damage your monitor's casing. Stop as soon as the bracket feels snug.
2. Step 2: Slide the GRID Brows onto the brackets: Align the GRID Brows with the brackets and slide them into place until you hear a click. For a multi-monitor setup, chain-link additional units by connecting the provided cables between each brow. Checkpoint: Make sure the brows are oriented so the LED strips face the driver. A reversed mount will project light upward instead of toward your eyes.
3. Step 3: Adjust the height: Loosen the bracket's height adjustment screw (if equipped) and raise or lower the brows until the LED strip is just above your monitor's top bezel, aligned with your seated eye level. Tighten the screw to lock the position. Common mistake: Setting the brows too high creates a gap that lets light spill onto the ceiling. Keep them as close to the monitor as possible.
4. Step 4: Tilt for optimal angle: Pivot the GRID Brows forward or backward using the hinge on the bracket. The ideal angle directs the RGB glow onto your peripheral vision without reflecting off the screen. Start with a 10-15 degree tilt toward your face and adjust from there. Checkpoint: Sit in your racing position and check for reflections. If you see LED dots on your screen, tilt the brows further forward or lower the brightness in SimHub.
5. Step 5: Test with telemetry data: Launch a sim title and enable SimHub or RaceDirector® to send data to the GRID Brows. Run a quick lap and observe the lighting response. If the colors wash out your vision or cause strain, revisit the height and angle adjustments. Common mistake: Forgetting to update SimHub profiles after repositioning. The software may need a recalibration to match the new orientation.

What You'll Need

• GRID Brows: Each set includes two 9-LED RGB units, a control box, cables and mounting brackets. Units can be chain-linked for larger setups. The included mounting brackets allow you to attach the brows to your monitor or cockpit frame, and the chain-link feature lets you expand coverage if you have a triple-screen or ultrawide setup.
