BenQ ScreenBar Pro LED Monitor Light Bar (Black) - Ultrawide Lighting, Motion Sensor, Adjustable Brightness/Color Temperature, Eye-Care USB-C Monitor lamp, No Glare, Curved Monitors, Monitor accessory

Simple setup and for my AOC monitor it works very well and has excellent stability. It’s so stable I placed my webcam on top of it . The automatic sense seems to work well and I find it responsive to my presence. Lots of brightness levels, and the color temperature adjustment is nice. I don’t use the automatic adjustment as I find the color temperature it chooses is too cool, almost blue. This is subjective so I don’t consider this a flaw of the item. There’s no remote however the controls are easily accessible, backlit, and visible. The stability is so good that it doesn’t move while making setting adjustments. I think it’s an excellent value for the price.

I've been wanting one of these monitor lights for a while to replace my cheap desk lamp, and I finally got around to purchasing one. I was debating between this and the Halo 2, but ultimately opted for this one as I prefer not to have additional remotes on my desk that require batteries. The light pattern is perfect and does not cause any glare on the monitor. It can get VERY bright even in the daytime and the color temperature adjustment also works well. The motion sensor is my favorite feature of this lightbar and it works perfectly, I don't even have to touch it unless I'm adjusting the brightness. I got it on sale for Black Friday but I would gladly pay full price for it, it's well worth it for the quality of life.

An excellent light for my desktop computer. The features and functionality of this light far exceeded what I expected. It costs a bit more but it’s worth the investment. The IR sensor which turns the light on and off is a great feature. It functions without my input and once set, it operates seamlessly without any thought or input. It uses touch controls and can easily be adjusted. It’s pretty much set and forget although it’s easily adjusted if needed. The light doesn’t interfere with your work and for designers, it doesn’t interfere with the color coming from your monitor.

I bought this after I bought the Quintis "Pro", which was good, but this one is better, although 3X the price. I like this one better because its arm extends farther out from the screen, which is especially good for a large curved monitor. The on/off motion sensor is good too... I'd rather have this than the Quintis' remote control. Also, the light on this one doesn't shine in my face as much as the Quintis because the angle of the lens is seemingly better. Both products provided a huge improvement, you can't go wrong with either, but better lighting was an important need for me, so it was worth splurging a little extra $$ on the BenQ.

My office isn't well-lit. For years, I've been using a desk lamp, which is essential for reading and writing, but my desk isn't huge and the lamp reduces the amount of useable workspace. Amazon somehow sensed my frustration and suggested this BenQ monitor light bar. The price ($120) seemed a bit high for what you get, but I figured I'm not just getting a light, I'm freeing up space which will really be useful almost every time I need to work at my desk. So I bit the bullet and ordered one. I've been using it for a month now, and I really love it. Setup was easy and fast. All the controls are on the top of the light bar and they're touch controls. It's easy to adjust the brightness and the color temperature (warm vs. cool light) to your exact liking. There is no learning curve, everything just works, you don't have to think about it or read a manual. It has a feature that turns the light on whenever it senses movement within a couple feet. Practically, it turns the light on when I sit down at my desk and turns it off about 10 or 15 minutes after I leave. I love that it's powered by USB-C, rather than batteries you have to replace when they wear out. Like many monitors, mine has extra USB-C ports for peripherals, but the ports also provide power to accessories like this light. Okay, so why should you consider NOT buying this? Simple: Amazon sells other monitor light bars that do almost everything this one does for half the price (or less). I decided to get a second monitor light bar for my office at work, and I was about to buy another one of these. But the Amazon algorithm showed me other monitor light bars that cost less, by a brand called Quntis. They make a variety, ranging from $40 to $70. I bought a 20" wide Quntis model for $55. For me, the Quntis has one disadvantage. Almost all of their models, including the one I bought, has a separate remote controller that's about the size and shape of a hockey puck. And it uses 3 AA batteries (included in the package, thankfully). I strongly prefer the all-in-one operation of the more expensive BenQ. My desk gets pretty cluttered, and things on my desk sometimes get misplaced. Without the Quntis remote, you simply cannot use the light bar. Also, the adjustments to brightness and color temperature have only four levels; with the BenQ, it's easy to dial in the exact brightness and temperature you want. Looking at the user reviews of the Quntis light bars, many people say they like the separate remote. You might, too. Hardly anyone complains about the lack of fine adjustments to brightness and color temperature that you get with the BenQ but not the Quntis. I really can't recommend spending $120 for the BenQ when for $55-ish you can get a Quntis that does practically everything the BenQ does, with very minor compromises that most people can life with. That said, I'm not sending my BenQ back to get a refund and buy another Quntis.

Oh, man, this thing is already changing my life. First, with my Apple Studio Display XDR, it fits perfectly and does not block the web cam. At all. Second, it doesn't flare on the screen. Third, it illuminates my desk wide from side to side! My desk is 122cm/48" wide, and it covers it - and then some. From screen to front edge is 43cm/17" and it cover that, and then some. It's stupid easy to attach, and yet it is stable on top of my display, so that it is easy to adjust brightness and color temp without knocking it out of position. And it gets BRIGHT. Yet it still doesn't flare my screen OR shine in my eyes. Well worth the price. Highly recommended.

Pros: I tried 5 different monitor light bars before this one. I tried cheap ones and moderately priced ones. A couple were good, but I still felt like they were struggling to light up my desk fully. I finally caved and bought this one. Oh. My. Goodness. The difference is literally night and day. It is SO bright compared to the cheeper alternatives out there. I don't necessarily agree with the price, but the quality is surely far superior than the alternatives. I do like the motion sensor feature as well as the auto brightness. They work well and are useful! The motion sensor is especially nice during the day, but it's given me quite a shock during the middle of the night if I forget to turn it off Cons: My only real con with this has to do with the motion sensor and auto brightness. Like I said above, they work great. However, when you have both enabled, the light will turn on, turn off, and then turn on again. I reached out to BenQ support, and they informed me this is normal and that the light is determining the correct brightness. I don't have this issue if I one or the other of these features enabled, but I do have the problem when both are turned on together. It's not the end of the world, but it does get a bit annoying when it happens every time the light turns on via the motion sensor. I could just set the light to a specific brightness, but the auto brightness feature is also really nice to have enabled. I was hoping BenQ support would have a solution to this, but this is just, unfortunately, a characteristic of the product. Conclusion: Basically, I think it's a bit overpriced, but it absolutely is heads and shoulders above every other light I tried. At the end of the day, I'd rather just buy a superior product and pay a little more for it. I just wish it wasn't *that* much more.

Honestly it's hard to understand how great this thing is without seeing its light output in person. It lights up a very large area around my monitor with bright, even light, and because of where it sits on the monitor, there are almost never shadows getting in the way of whatever you're trying to read/see/etc. I can't recommend it enough. It's definitely not cheap, but I do think it's worth it. The only thing I'd change is that I do wish the cable were a removable USB-C cable instead of a captive one. That way you could use the cable length of your choice, swap it if damage occurs, etc. Other than that, I really do think it's perfect. This came out a couple days after I'd just bought the original Screen Bar, before that one was even delivered. I was curious what the difference would be so ordered this too, planning to compare them and keep whichever one I liked better. This one is dramatically better. The light is brighter, the motion sensing is cool, and, most importantly to me, the interface is dramatically improved. The original had brightness and color temp buttons that you clicked to cycle through, but there was no indicator to show you what 'step' of the color/brightness scale you were at, so it was hard to go to a specific setting reliably. This one makes it easy with the scale, and the favorite button is a great feature. Also, the whole design just looks a little better imo, and I think the weight design is improved and less awkward. I didn't feel great about buying this in the moment because of the price, but I can't imagine going back to a regular lamp now.

I am super happy with this. The difference between this lightbar and others like Quintis is the same as the difference between an OLED panel and LCD panel. You don't realize how good it is unless you try it yourself. It barely touches the panel display and rests elegantly against the body of a thin monitor. The brightness is really good and build quality is just much better. The mounting design makes the fit flawless even for thin panels like an OLED. It might be expensive, but it's worth it for the peace of mind it brings that your monitor won't be damaged. Would recommend this above ANY other monitor lightbar having tried other premium brands like Quintis myself.

I’m genuinely in love with this lightbar. It completely streamlined my workspace — I was able to remove my desk lamp, which instantly reduced clutter and made everything feel cleaner and more intentional. The lighting is perfect for writing and working. I use an OLED monitor, and I was a bit nervous about glare, but there’s none. It lights up my desk beautifully without shining directly into my eyes, and I really appreciate not having an exposed bulb glaring back at me. The auto shut-off feature is also a small detail that makes a big difference. My only complaint is the webcam adapter. It doesn’t have a screw thread, which would’ve been ideal. I’m currently shopping for a webcam, and most use a threaded mount. Because of that, I have to rely on the clamp arms, which makes the webcam sit higher than I’d prefer. It works, but I would’ve loved the option to screw it in securely instead of clamping it on. That said, the lightbar itself clamps perfectly onto my monitor and feels solid. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s one of those upgrades that quietly improves your everyday workspace without trying too hard.

Veramente sorpreso dall'utilità. Non volevo occupare ulteriore spazio sulla scrivania e questa è perfetta. Una luce gradevole, anche dopo 9 ore di lavoro in una stanza semi-buia. Utilissima la funzione di intensità automatica e sensore di presenza. Vale i soldi che costa.

The product is expensive, but worth the money. You understand this clearly when you use it. Adaptive brightness adjustment and automatic switching on and off depending on your presence at your workplace are extremely convenient. A truly smart and technological device.

Good
