BenQScreenBar Halo 2 LED Monitor Light Bar, Wireless Controller, Adjustable Brightness and Colour Temperature, Eye-Care Light Bar, No Screen Glare, Space Saving, USB Powered

Had a cheaper alternative that lasted three weeks before it would hold position as it was half the cost I thought I would just buy this one.It’s very expensive and if the other hand failed i wouldn’t consider this, that said I found the light to be clearer, it’s just easier on the eye compare to the other even at same temperatures.It can go very bright too, I don’t need that much much and find I have it around 10% or less in the evening. The back light is actually really useful too, didn’t think I would use it but I prefer both on low. The angle on the desk is also great with clean cut off. I use is on one of my two 28 inch flat monitors and it offers enough light for both, it’s placed on one and both are landscape.Conclusion: it’s a great light and fits what I need but it’s so expensive for what it is, I hope it lasts

A great value for money. It is very easy to assemble. The quality is top notch. The functionality is very customer friendly. The brightness is adequate and adjustable reprint on the light.

Excellent desk area lighting that doesn’t cause screen glare. Having recently bought a new BenQ monitor with matte screen finish to avoid glare, it was worth adding a screen bar to finish the job. Whilst the monitor itself went a long way to solving my room light issues, I am amazed how this light bar really does illuminate my desk space without any effect on the screen, even thought it’s so close. I’m also looking forward to the benefits of the back light when the darker night come along.

What a difference to my workspace this makes!My room can get dark, especially in winter with limited natural light, this light bar makes a significant difference, build quality is top notch too. The dial controller makes setting the brightness a breeze!Expensive? Yes. Worth it? Definitely!

Looks and feel solid and I can already see a difference in the strain levels of my eyes. I feel this would easily be the best investment I've done in a long time. The controller is also rock solid, heavy like a paper weight and sits nicely on my desk. Can't be easily knocked over. Hopefully I'll grow to love it and I won't have to return it as it is only early days.

I've always struggled to find a decent light for my computer desk, and this light bar turns out to be exactly what I've been looking for all along!It's probably better for flat monitors, but I managed to get it working on my 57" curve monitor with a bit of white tack. There's a tiny bit of light bouncing off the bottom bezel in my config (more on that later) but all in all I'm quite happy to have bought it!The range of temperature and brightness is great, I have my desk against the window so ofter have the blinds shut and this provides a good amount of light that I need to keep my eyes comfortable. I don't tend to adjust the settings too much and just let auto brightness do its thing for me.The only thing I could thing of to improve things, is the ability to control the depth of the area that the light illuminates. I go on video calls often and I have to adjust the light to stop it from hitting my chest, which shows up on the calls - and this leads to the aforementioned problem of light bouncing off the bottom bezel as it gets hit. An ability to control the actual depth, rather than just adjusting the angle, would solve that for me.The remote puck is ok. It feels premium but it takes a tap to wake and another to change settings, and if you don't hit it right the first tap (direct contact with a control where the capacitive sensors exist), it can feel frustrating to use. I just put it on presence detection mode and not touch it most days as a result.Finally the back light, whilst more powerful than previous generations, doesn't really do much for me in my set up, as my monitor isn't sitting that close to the wall. I get a bit of ambient light from it, but not enough to make a real difference. So be warn if you're like me and have the monitor lifted forward away from the wall.All in all it's still a nice light to have. I love being able to paint my nails now without angling towards my lamp, and I'll no doubt enjoy it when I start crafting at my desk in the near future!

Best lightbar

The media could not be loaded. Fantastic light bar, and well worth the money. Yes there's cheaper ones out there, but the quality, ease of installation, and the light this produces is fantastic. There's a remote to manually adjust the brightness and warmth, you can set a favourite light setting, turn on 'auto-detect' which detects when you sit in front of it and automatically turns on, and even an option to choose which light you want on, whether it be the down light, back light or both. I've done a video to let you see the product and hopefully you can make your decision if in doubt! Please note that I did NOT receive this for free and purchased this at full price, and I am not affiliated with BenQ in any way. This is my honest review to let you know my opinion for the bar.
