Complete Illumination, Maximum Comfort
ScreenBar ® Halo 2
Enjoy a healthier, more comfortable work environment with ScreenBar Halo 2’s wide backlight and asymmetrical front light, designed to combat eye fatigue from dim environments.
International lighting studies confirm that eye fatigue arises when bright screens collide with dim surroundings. BenQ’s ScreenBar® Halo 2 solves this issue with its scientifically-proven asymmetrical, glare-free optical technology and rear-facing illumination. This design, backed by international standards, ensures that the screen and ambient light remain in harmony — delivering clarity and lasting comfort.
Comprehensive Lighting, Without Compromise
The tri-zone backlight and ASMY-Light™ technology front light balance the contrast between screen and surroundings, reducing glare and eye fatigue—so your eyes stay comfortable, even in the dark.
Effortless Precision, Control at Your Fingertips
The wireless controller offers exact adjustments, while the numeric touch panel makes it effortless to fine-tune brightness and color temperature to match your focus level.
Universal Fit, Made for Every Screen
The patented clamp secures firmly to almost any monitor—including curved models—while protecting against scratches or damage, ensuring ScreenBar® Halo 2 adapts wherever you work.

The patented tri-zone backlight design precisely controls light distribution, expanding ScreenBar Halo 2’s backlight coverage by 423% compared to the first generation.
① Upper Curvature
Reduces light directly above the screen to avoid harsh light concentration.
② Underneath Curvature
Connects the upper and lower light areas, creating a seamless light pattern behind the screen.
③ Side Curvature
Extends the light further, widening the illumination on both sides of the screen.
A significant contrast between screen brightness and ambient light can cause eye strain. ScreenBar Halo 2 helps balance the lighting environment and alleviate eye discomfort.
Without ScreenBar Halo 2
Direct lighting onto the desk to reduce screen reflections and direct glare, minimizing frequent pupil adjustments caused by high contrast in brightness, which can lead to eye discomfort.
*The lamp head angle can be adjusted as needed, with a maximum of 24 degrees.

In 2017, BenQ introduced the world’s first monitor light bar to help monitor users reduce eye strain. By listening to user feedback and collaborating with research experts, BenQ continuously refines its products. Recognizing that working in dim environments can lead to discomfort from the stark contrast between screen brightness and darkness, we developed the ScreenBar Halo 2. This model features a tri-zone backlight and exclusive asymmetric lighting technology to minimize glare and reflections, providing a balanced, comfortable lighting solution for low-light workspaces.

After collaborating with university research institutions, BenQ conducted studies on the relationship between backlighting and eye comfort, striving to create the most ergonomic eye-care products. The BenQ team applied the experimental findings to their products, ensuring they meet the ANSI standard of a screen-to-surrounding light contrast ratio of less than 3:1.
