Review: A surprising quality of life improvement - I hesitated at full price, but when the BenQ ScreenBar Halo dropped to £125, it felt worth a try. After a few weeks of use, I’m glad I picked it up. Fit was my first concern. I’m using it on a Samsung Odyssey G9, and it clamps securely without putting pressure on the screen or interfering with the curve. Setup took minutes. The lighting itself is excellent. It does a great job of evenly lighting the desk without glare on the screen. The control wheel is intuitive, letting you quickly adjust brightness and colour temperature from cool white to warm white, with plenty of range at both ends. Small changes are easy to dial in, which makes a difference during long work sessions. One feature I didn’t expect to care about, but now really like, is the motion sensor. Walking up to the desk and having the light turn on feels oddly satisfying and genuinely useful. You can also control the rear ambient light and the downward desk light independently, so you can run either one on its own or both together depending on the mood or time of day. Overall, the BenQ ScreenBar Halo brought a noticeable quality-of-life improvement to my setup. It’s not cheap, but if you spend a lot of time at your desk and can grab it on a deal, it feels like money well spent.
Review: Great lighting option for home office. - Very easy to fit / clip onto the top of my 27" monitor, and runs either off of the monitor USB-C port or the included USB-C transformer. So far it seems very secure, I've seen no movement despite having a slightly wobbly desk. The fully independently adjustable front and rear lights, both for colour/temperature and brightness are great. I have a bright cool light on the front illuminating the desk and a warmer back light onto the wall behind my screen. There is no glare on the screen and I find it much better than having a room or desk light on. I'm really impressed with this light and love the presence sensor that turns it on and off automatically when you're away from your desk. I work from home and spend about 6 - 8 hours a day at the screen, this has made a difference to my work day and both I and my eyes seem to be less tired at the end of the dull winter day. It seems expensive for a light when there are so many cheaper "goose neck" options available that clamp to the desk. Having tried several of those I find the BenQ to be by far the best, especially the adjustable front and back light brightness. Recommended

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why does the light turn on and off by itself?**
A: You might have activated the auto on/off function, which detects motion in a 60±10 cm cone-shaped area ahead.

**Q: Why is the cable integrated into the light bar?**
A: Detachable cables can wear out from frequent plugging and bending, risking wire breakage. To prevent this, we designed a non-detachable cable that has passed rigorous durability tests for long-lasting performance.

**Q: Why does the ScreenBar Halo 2 use Type-C and what is the required power input?**
A: Based on user device and EU regulations trends, we adopted Type-C. The recommended voltage for ScreenBar Halo 2 is 5V with a maximum of 3A.

**Q: Is my monitor compatible with the ScreenBar Halo 2?**
A: ScreenBar Halo 2 fits monitors 0.43–6 cm thick and 1000R–1800R curved screens. For more information, please contact BenQ.

**Q: Can I replace the LED light myself?**
A: Please contact BenQ support for repair assistance. However, our LED has a tested lifespan of 50,000 hours, ensuring prolonged usage.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good, with one caveat (the grip)
*by A***N on 13 June 2026*

Quite expensive, but you do get what you pay for. Very well built, great features with ample amount of light. The light hitting from the back of the screen, is very pleasing and helps for those extended computer sessions. I would say, the downside is the "claw" that grabs the monitor. I think the mechanism's grip strength can be further improved upon. If I rest the webcam on top of the screenbar, as recommended in the manual, it seems that the whole bar could slide forward very easily. Hasn't happened, yet. But it isn't very confidence inducing. All things considered, this is a must!
