e-Reading ScreenBar

I love it. BEN Q screen light bar amps up my working area nicely. I live in a rental flat with Covid; I have to work a lot from home (lots of late night working as my clients are overseas). Unfortunately, we don't have good light in the living room where I work. Lack of lighting has significantly affected my eyesight and given them a considerable toll.I tried many other streetlights from unknown brands (cheaper ones from 19 pounds to 40 pounds range). But most of them aren't that good for a few reasons:1. Bad lighting quality - lights would start flaking after a month of using them.2. Wabbly stand - they didn't sit well on my screen; one brand even scratched my monitor due to the bad design of the clips.3. Not enough lighting - some screen lights were very short and didn't provide enough brightness or cover areas.This one solved all the problems: no more flacking lights, a very stable stand, minimalist design, and very lights.I love the touch control and their color temp - I can easily change them depending on the time of the day or the mood.It has transformed my working flow, and now my eyes are much happier. I think of getting another one after the Christmas bonus arrives for my other monitor.

Great and neat looking lights, I got two for my pair of monitors I use in my home office, and they work great!I plugged both lights into the USB ports on my Dell P2319H, the monitor automatically cuts power to the lights when my computer goes to standby. When the computer wakes from sleep, the monitor restores power to the USB ports, and the lights automatically come on, requiring zero touch to turn them back on, all automatic which I love.I don't quite bother with the auto dimming feature because I love my desk area as bright as they can get. The angle adjustment is also perfect for me, I could angle it just right so that it doesn't shine on the screens, and doesn't shine in my eyes directly either.Webcam can kinda be sat on top of the screenbar, but kinda dependent on the mounting mechanism that your webcam uses. Mine is a Logitech C920e and it is just stable enough.They are very pricy for what they are, but they feel very well built, I would definitly say they are worth the money.

Love this screen bar, it gives a nice light on my 27" monitor and I like the auto ambience setting which adjusts the colour temperature to suite the room. The brightness and temperature can be adjusted manually but I find the automatic setting does fine. I also like how it blend in and is hardly noticeable on my monitor. Well worth the money and cheaper than some other brands. The build quality is also very good.

I have the regular model and whilst if is not cheap, it is well built and mostly well designed. The weighted mechanism for holding it on top of the monitor works well and as just a light touch on the controls is needed that is good enough to hold the light in place. It illuminates all of my rather large desk, where I have two monitors. I hope the price and the trusted manufacturer means that the LEDs are high quality and will last. Some years ago I bought some relatively cheap LED light panels to use for video work and now 30 or so of the 1600 LEDs have stopped functioning. It still gives a very good light. So, I hope that if one or two of the 45 LEDs in this lamp stop working that won't much affect its overall brightness. The dim button and the temperature buttons work well though I have it permanently on the lowest temperature and highest illumination. These settings are preserved when the light is turned off and on using the button on the lamp.BUT..I have my main monitor positioned well back on my desk and I found there is not enough adjustment in the lamp to direct it outwards away from the monitor. The BenQ website claims 10 degrees of rotation, but I found I needed more and the USB plug got in the way. So, I resorted to a small piece of BluTack stuck to the top of the monitor to angle the light outwards a bit more.That leads to my second reservation. It is not bright enough for me. Its maximum of 500 lux might be enough for standard office work and for young people, but I find, with my aging eyesight (I'm over 70) that I need more illumination. Of course, I have made it worse by angling the light back to spread over a larger desk area and this is probably not helped by the fact that I have a large monitor that is adjusted to its maximum height as I am quite tall. I notice that the BenQ website shows the 500 lux illumination on a desk that stretches only 30 cm from the monitor with a relatively small monitor. For intensive work and for aging users a much higher lux level is needed.Oddly, I also found that the USB connection would not work from the USB socket on my BenQ monitor but it did work from the USB socket on my Apple monitor. The light stays illuminated when the computer goes to sleep (though it will go off if the monitor is turned off at the mains). The supplied cable is not very long (150 cm.) so you may need an extension cable if your nearest spare USB socket is some way from the monitor.

Great light bar, the adaptable brightness setting is great for working in a room with varying levels of light.Warm and cool light settings for different feels.My only gripe with this is that when using it on a curved monitor, you get a tiny bit of glare at the top of your screen because of how it sits on your monitor. It's still very secure and you learn to ignore it after a while.I can't compare to cheaper versions as I've not owned them, but this has definitely done the job and lived up to expectations.

First, the price made me look away from this product. It is too expensive. I think it could cost £50 and would still be a premium price for a lamp.However, it is such a niche product that you simply don't have anything similar in the market. There are actually some cheaper ones, but they honestly don't look that well made, the colour temperature has only 3 settings, same to the brightness. Summary they are not this smooth.It was made for someone with a monitor in the centre of the desk only. I cannot imagine working in another scenario.That is precisely my case. And I must say it is excellent.1- Saves space, and it is super discrete.2- It has that premium feel, metal body, touch button.3- Automatic colour temperature and brightness. Yeah, when it turns on, it checks your environment and suggests the optimum setting. It does not match the background. For instance, my room has a light which the colour temperature is 3000K, this one feels to me (on the automatic setting) more white, on a 4000K. Which is excellent. I honestly like that colour; it looks like sunlight. For me, the automatic is spot on.4- Manual colour and brightness can be adjusted to any point of the available range. So you don't have only 3 preset colours, you can go anywhere from 2000K to 7000k (I'm guessing, I don't have how to measure the min and max). Same to brightness.

I was initially sceptical about purchasing this lightbar. It is expensive for what it is, a strip of LEDs with a control unit. However, it exudes quality with its' metal finish and easy to use controls. It has a range of brightness and colour settings, controlled via the touch controls or via the automatic sensor setting. In the winter, this product makes a real difference to a desk setup and something seems missing now when it is not in use. In my opinion, this product makes a considerable difference to a desk set up and worth the cost. The lightbar is a great idea and I'm sure there'll be some more competitors to this in the near future.

I have had this Screen Bar for a couple of years now, the light quality is great and the controls still work as good as the first day.

Ich war schon lange auf der Suche nach einer optimalen Beleuchtung für meinen Schreibtisch, da ich oft bis spät in die Nacht am Computer arbeite. Eine schlechte Lichtquelle führt schnell zu müden Augen und Konzentrationsproblemen. Also habe ich mich für die BenQ ScreenBar entschieden – und ich bereue den Kauf nicht!Verpackung & VerarbeitungSchon beim Auspacken macht die Lampe einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Die Verpackung ist durchdacht gestaltet, und die ScreenBar ist sicher verstaut, sodass sie während des Transports nicht beschädigt wird. Das schlichte, matte Design in Schwarz passt perfekt zu modernen Arbeitsplätzen. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist ausgezeichnet, und es gibt keine sichtbaren Mängel oder unsaubere Kanten.Einfache Montage & stabiler HaltDie Installation ist kinderleicht: Die ScreenBar wird einfach in die mitgelieferte Halterung eingesetzt, das Gegengewicht sorgt für sicheren Halt auf Monitoren mit einer Dicke von 1–3 cm. Trotz meiner anfänglichen Bedenken sitzt die Lampe fest und wackelt nicht. Einmal montiert, fügt sie sich nahtlos in das Setup ein.Beleuchtung & FunktionenDie ScreenBar bietet verschiedene Farbtemperaturen zwischen 2700K und 6500K – von warmem Licht für entspannte Atmosphäre bis hin zu kühlem Weißlicht für konzentriertes Arbeiten. Über Touch-Tasten lassen sich sowohl die Farbtemperatur als auch die Helligkeit individuell einstellen. Besonders praktisch ist die automatische Dimmfunktion, die sich an das Umgebungslicht anpasst – wobei ich diese Funktion eher selten nutze, da mir die Anpassung manchmal zu abrupt erscheint.Was mich besonders begeistert: Das Licht blendet nicht und reflektiert nicht im Monitor. Dadurch wird der Arbeitsbereich perfekt ausgeleuchtet, ohne störende Spiegelungen oder unnötige Helligkeit. Ein großer Pluspunkt gegenüber herkömmlichen LED-Streifen oder Schreibtischlampen!FazitObwohl ich anfangs gezögert habe, fast 100 Euro für eine Monitorlampe auszugeben, hat sich die Investition definitiv gelohnt. Die BenQ ScreenBar ist hochwertig verarbeitet, funktional und sorgt für eine augenschonende, angenehme Beleuchtung beim Arbeiten. Dank USB-Stromversorgung ist sie flexibel einsetzbar – nicht nur am Schreibtisch, sondern auch unterwegs. Wer eine professionelle, platzsparende Lichtlösung sucht, macht mit dieser ScreenBar nichts falsch.

This is a must have accessory when you're spending a long time on the front of your computer screen. This light is brilliant, the brightness and luminance settings are versatile enough for any situation. It sits well and securely on the top of the monitor without any disruption of the view. Great quality, it is not the cheapest, but definately worth the price.

Och detta skall vara en kvalitetslampa? Slutade fungera med mindre 1 års användning. Tänder men slocknar omedelbart och är då helt unresponsive.

なんとなくライトバー部分とそれをホールドするクリップ部分は一体型で固定されているのだと勝手にイメージしていましたが、実際にはライトバーをクリップに掴ませる形なので、ライトバー上部のスイッチを押すたびに、バーが下に傾きます。ボタンはタッチするだけで反応するので力はいりませんが、ボタン操作で触れるたびに傾くのはスマートではないと感じました。ボタンの説明はほとんど書いてなかったので手探りで理解しました。自動調光機能は完全オートで、このモードでの明るさはいじれません。輝度調整のボタンをタッチするとその時点で自動モードは解除されます。輝度調整や色味は長押しのようでクセがありますが慣れます。自動点灯ではないですが居場所に関係なく自由に点けられて消せます。明るすぎるくらいは明るくなりませんが、普通にライトとして十分な明るさはあります。ルームライトが点いていてもかき消されないくらいは明るいです。照射範囲も27インチモニター幅分以上は完全に覆われます。当然ですが上位クラスも含めてＡＣアダプタによってはリネゴシエーションで瞬断するのでライトにおいては気になる人は気になるかもしれません。それらを考慮しても満足度は★5です。
