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

The BenQ ScreenBar Pro is a game-changer for anyone who spends long hours at their desk. This sleek LED monitor light provides excellent illumination without taking up any extra space. The ultrawide illumination is perfect for lighting up my entire workspace, and the adjustable brightness and color temperature make it easy to customize the lighting to my needs.The motion sensor is a fantastic touch—it automatically turns on when I sit down, adding an extra level of convenience. The build quality is premium, and the modern design blends seamlessly with my setup. I also appreciate that the glare-free light doesn’t reflect on my monitor, which makes it perfect for long work sessions or nighttime use.Setup was incredibly simple, and the light stays securely in place on my monitor without any need for screws or clamps. While it’s on the pricier side, the functionality and quality make it worth every penny. If you’re looking to upgrade your workspace lighting, the BenQ ScreenBar Pro is an excellent choice. Highly recommended!

I also own the Halo version of this light that I use in my office, which is pretty fantastic, but this one is even better if you don't need the backlight from the Halo, and don't care about having the wireless remote control. Like the other BenQ ScreenBar lights, the light output is extremely well controlled and of fantastic optical quality if you care about things like color accuracy and brightness and not casting light onto your monitor illuminating any spec of dust that might be on it.This one is both brighter, as well as provides slightly improved color rendering even compared to the already fantastic ScreenBar Halo and other previous generation products. The motion detection feature is also a really nice addition, which partly makes up for not having the remote control puck since you only have to set it to what you want to use it at and then enable the motion detection mode and forget it. The implementation is even thoughtful enough that you can either walk away and let it turn itself off after 5 minutes, or tap the power icon to turn it off immediately, in which case it temporarily disables the motion detection for 30 seconds so you can step away from your computer before it re-enables the sensor again to turn back on automatically when you return. Little things like this don't seem like a big deal, but they just make using the product that much simpler and more pleasant than not having it, and over the long haul, that kind of little thing really adds up.This one makes it clear, like the previous models, why BenQ currently seems to lead the market with these monitor mounted desk lights. I wouldn't use anything else, and I'll never be without one again - it's just that much of an improvement over all the alternatives I've tried, from desk lamps and table lamps, to floor lamps, improved room lights, and competing monitor lights. BenQ monitor lights have their high ratings for a good reason.EDIT: I see one review mentioned the power button not being illuminated when the light is off. This is true, but to work around this to some extent, the power button is on the right side of the control panel in the middle of the light, and it's touch sensitive. This means you can just touch the right half of the light and slide your finger left towards the center and when you reach the power button, the light will turn on without you needing to know exactly where the button is. This may help other owners who have the same issue but otherwise like the quality of the light.

This light bar really exceeded my expectations. It fits seamlessly on my 34” curved Dell monitor, and the silver color blends in perfectly, sleek, clean, and not distracting at all. It’s also super lightweight, so it doesn’t feel bulky or awkward up top.What really impressed me is the mounting design. It uses these soft rubber “clamps” (for lack of a better word) that grip the monitor really well without damaging or scratching anything. It feels secure, even on a curved screen, and doesn’t budge once in place.I’m powering it straight through a USB-C port on my monitor, so no need for wall adapters or extra cables cluttering the desk. The lighting itself is excellent, fully adjustable brightness and color temp, with a nice downward angle that avoids glare completely. I was worried it might feel harsh or distracting, but it’s the exact opposite. Super comfortable, even after hours of use.Bonus features like the motion sensor and webcam mounting clip just round it out. Thoughtful details all around.If you’ve got a curved monitor and want a clean, functional lighting upgrade, this one nails it.

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.
