BenQ ScreenBar Halo LED Monitor - Review

If you’re looking for something to illuminate your workspace without straining your eyes, the BenQ ScreenBar Halo LED Monitor Light/Lamp might just be what you need. Not only does it look sleek, it is also designed to minimize glare on your screen.

First off, the ScreenBar Halo comes with an integrated back light, which enhances eye comfort by reducing the contrast between the bright screen and dark room. You can customize the brightness and color temperature to your liking with the smart wireless controller, and save your preferred settings under “My Favorite” for future use. The ScreenBar Halo features 3 eye care setting modes, including a dimmable front and back light to complement each other and reduce reflected glare on your screen. This makes it perfect for extended periods of work or entertainment.

Setting up the ScreenBar Halo is a breeze. It is powered via USB, so there are no cords or outlets to worry about. The patented clip design fits most monitors, with a compatibility range of >=0.25" (0.63cm) bezel width and thickness up to 2.36” (6cm) for flat monitors and up to 1.5” (3.8cm) for curved monitors over 1000R. That said, non-planar monitor back designs may cause mounting problems so it’s best to contact the customer support team first to confirm compatibility with your monitor. Additionally, for those with curved monitors, the ScreenBar Halo comes with a special accessory to reduce glare from either side of the light bar.

What makes the ScreenBar Halo stand out from traditional desk lamps is that it saves valuable space on your desk. The clip design mounts on top of your monitor and takes up no extra space. The USB cable length is 5.9” (1.5m), so you can easily plug it into your computer’s USB port.

One thing to note is that the ScreenBar Halo requires a power supply of 5V/1A to function properly. If you use a power supply lower than 5V/1A, the light will constantly flicker between yellow and white light. This could be a concern for some users, but it’s a small detail that is easily addressed by ensuring that the power supply meets the requirement.

As for aesthetics, the ScreenBar Halo has a sleek and minimalistic look. It sports a smooth matte finish that complements most monitors and blends well with various office setups. It’s not only functional but stylish too.

Overall, the BenQ ScreenBar Halo LED Monitor Light/Lamp is a great addition to your workspace if you want to minimize screen glare and eye strain. Its adjustable brightness and color temperature and customizable settings via wireless controller make it user-friendly, while its space-saving design and sturdy clip make it easy to set up. With over 1000 reviews and an average customer rating of 4.5 stars, it’s clear that the ScreenBar Halo is a popular choice among users who prioritize eye comfort and functionality.
