e-Reading ScreenBar

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.

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.

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.

I love this. It sits atop the monitor and balances the glare, while spreading some handy light over your keyboard and work area. Excellent product and as with all Benq stuff, its beautifully made with super-easy install and controls. You need a USB port, or wall wart.

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.

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.

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 was sceptical about this item, would it turn out to be an expensive gimmick? Well no, expensive perhaps, but no gimmick. It sits nicely on my 32" iiyama monitor, and as claimed, it casts no shadow on the screen, but lights up the desk & keyboard nicely. It's adjustable and once adjusted is stable, but has to be handled with care it wont take rough treatment whilst adjusting it. All the controls are on top of the unit and only require a slight touch to operate.
