Your Questions, Our Vision

Eye strain and fading focus often start with one hidden cause—insufficient light. Its damage is invisible, but lasting. That’s why the right light matters.

Why do I need a monitor light bar when there are overhead lights?

Overhead lights often leave your desk underlit, the hidden cause of eye strain and poor focus. International standards recommend 500 lux on the desk for healthy vision. BenQ ScreenBar® delivers it precisely, keeping your eyes clear and comfortable.

Is working in the dark really better for eye health?​

Working in the dark can feel more focused, but it quietly drains your eyes. The harsh contrast between screen and surroundings leads to fatigue over time. BenQ’s ScreenBar® Series balances brightness to protect your eyes, so your focus can truly last. ScreenBar® Halo 2 goes further with rear illumination that achieves the ANSI 1:3 standard, extending comfort for longer work sessions.

What’s the difference between a monitor light bar and a desk lamp?​

Traditional desk lamps scatter light broadly and occupy valuable space. BenQ’s ScreenBar redefines illumination with a minimalist form and precision asymmetric optics, focusing light exactly where you need it—your workspace—while keeping the screen perfectly glare-free. It’s not just space-saving; it’s a modern tool of clarity, engineered for the way we work today.

Can a monitor light bar damage my screen? ​

Absolutely not. While many alternatives clamp tightly onto the monitor, BenQ’s ScreenBar uses a patented hanging clamp design with a precisely engineered counterweight, ensuring stability without placing stress on the screen. Soft rubber pads add further protection against scratches. From structure to materials, every detail is crafted with screen protection in mind.

What makes BenQ’s monitor light bars different from other brands?​

BenQ pioneered the asymmetric optical design for a zero-screen glare experience. With auto-dimming, 17-year lifespan, and minimalistic design, we are redefining what premium lighting should be.
