BenQ ScreenBar Pro LED Monitor Light (Black)/Ultrawide Illumination/Motion Sensor/Adjustable Brightness and Color Temperature/Eye-Care Light Bar/No Screen Glare/Space Saving/Curved Monitors/USB-C

A quality item, built to high level and works well as described.

Never had a light bar before but it’s ideal for lighting my desk. Easy to control the temperature and brightness. Auto detect feature works really well. It’s definitely pricey but the quality is good. It fit my monitor with no problem at all.

Like other worker drones I reside in a dark box devoid of natural light and since scratching the wall lights off with my knarled finger nails I have been crouching in near complete darkness. Needless to say this makes it difficult to tap out my generic and possibly useless emails on a keyboard I cannnot see. I often fumble around blindly for my mouse only to find it has scampered away into that damned hole in the corner! The solution I found was fire. But after several burns and the IT department confiscating my matches I was back to the drawing board. Fortunatly the drawing board contained the answer, a previous occupant of my cell had scratched a single word into the surface... "screenbar" Eagerly I smashed at my keyboard and hurredly searched for it, my dialup modem groaning under the workload. There it was, the holy grail! I quickly hurled the grail to one side and went back to the web page clicking 'Buy Now and Don't Delay'. One cold, sleepless night later and the parcel dropped down through my feeding tube. Set up was easy using the included USB plug and it sits right on the top of my monitor next to the cockroaches. The warm glow reminds me of the outside and I can finally see the small area directly below and in front of my screen. The rest of the room remains a mystery.

Pros: Well built, high quality fit and finish. Fits Apple Studio Display without obscuring camera No light bleed onto monitor screen Good UI Cons: Very long, integrated/non removable cable Bulky mounting plate Highlights dust particles This light bar comes highly recommended, and tech influencers will tell you it’s the best thing since sliced bread. And I can see its appeal. It fits perfectly on the top of an Apple Studio Display without obscuring the camera, and its automatic functions and UI are responsive and intuitive. However, the mounting system, while providing wider compatibility, makes the unit very bulky and unsightly on top of the monitor. This isn't a deal breaker, but having a set of mounts for slimmer profiles would be better in my opinion. I can’t imagine the thickness of the monitor that would require the full depth of the mount… What is a dealbreaker though is the non-removable cable, that is extremely long and unwieldy. There’s no way to neatly cable manage it, and I can’t just swap it out for an appropriately sized USB-C cable to tidy things up. If it breaks from strain or repetitive wear, there’s nothing you can do. A braided cable would be nicer, and introduce more flexibility. And finally, mostly noticeable in darker conditions, this light will have your video chat colleagues believing in poltergeists, as it highlights any invisible dust in full glory. I have an air purifier next to my desk, but the luminosity and placement of the light adjacent to a webcam makes even a relatively low dust room somewhat embarrassing. I feel like this is 20% too expensive for what it is; but if you don’t mind cable clutter and additional bulk, it does have great functionality.

Bought this for a second study we setup as both work from home on the same days. Also own the Halo and this is just as good if not better (minus the backlight) Overall less ambience in the room as no backlight, but front light is spot on. Note, this comes with the webcam accessory so you don’t need to buy it extra (always frustrated me about the halo!)

As the nights grow darker I was getting frustrated by the desk lamp I had. Monitor light bars seemed to be the answer but I was skeptical. Went for BenQ because they are supposed to be the best (from watching many many videos) and I am so happy with this product. First note for anyone curious - I am powering it via USB-C from the KVM build into my Dell monitor, the plug is not needed. My desk is 150cm wide and this has no problem lighting it up. I was worried it would be intrusive on the top of the monitor and that is good too. I wanted one without a remote control (less desk clutter) and the touch buttons work fine. 2 criticisms (1 serious, 1 silly) - the buttons stay illuminated all the time, this is a little distracting and I am not a fan, but it is so good, I'm willing to overlook this. On the silly side, it has revealed how dirty my keyboard is!! I use a white and silver Mac magic keyboard so I definitely get some reflection from it. Not uncomfortable but I am considering a less reflective keyboard.

I got an LG 27GP850 and unfortunately it has a bump behind that doesn’t allow monitor light bars to stay in place. Tried the other benq light bars and the xiaomi and all had the same problem. The Halo being the only one that was at least staying in place, just not great. So I was super excited when Benq announced this new model and oh man I could have an even thicker monitor and it would still clamp. Great job! I am missing the remote but to he honest the controls on the bar are very good and the sensor works great. I am so happy with the buy. A con is that the cable is not detachable, so if it breaks it breaks and will be hard to replace. I don’t see a reason why this would be like that.

I originally went for one the cheaper light bars out there only to be disappointed by the light spillover and build quality. None of the above are a problem for this bar. Yes, it is 1.5-3x the price of other products but it is also by far the best.

منتج جميل وعملي وسهل التحكم بدرجه السطوع والاضاءة كل شي فيها رهيب

Adaptor buzzing noise. Cannot use USBC of MBP. Not a product worth $239.

Die ScreenBar Pro ist wirklich ihr Geld wert. Im Vergleich zur Konkurrenz deutlich teuer aber dafür gibt es Qualität. Alle Funktionen sind sinnvoll, ohne überflüssigen Schnickschnack. Touchfunktion und Bewegungserkennung reagieren prompt. Helligkeiten und Lichtwärme individuell einstellbar. Sowohl bei Tag als auch im Dunklen Zimmer finden sich immer die passenden Einstellungen. Auch über Stunden beim Arbeiten am Schreibtisch mit diesem Licht keine Kopfschmerzen. hatte noch nie eine Schreibtischlampe, die die Tischplatte so großflächig und gleichmäßig ausleuchtet, ohne dabei zu blenden. Absolute Empfehlung!
