Your Questions, Our Vision

Eye strain and fading focus often start with one hidden cause: insufficient light. Its damage is unseen, 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, which is the hidden cause of eye strain and poor focus. International standards recommend 500 lux of light on a desk for healthy vision. BenQ’s ScreenBar® delivers such light precisely, keeping your eyes clear and comfortable.

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 precise asymmetric optics — a lighting technology that directs light only where you need it. No constant adjustments, no screen reflections, no glare directed to your eyes; just clear, comfortable light that makes your workflow smoother. It’s not just space-saving; it’s a modern tool of clarity, engineered for the way we work today.

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

Working in the dark lets you feel more focused, but it quietly drains your eyes. The harsh contrast between a screen and its 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 meets the ANSI 1:3 & 3:1 standard, extending comfort for longer work sessions

Will 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 its structure to the materials used, every detail is crafted to protect your screen.

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

BenQ is the originator of the zero-screen glare experience, pioneering the asymmetric optical design which is scientifically proven to truly eliminate glare. In collaboration with renowned design companies, we merge functional precision with timeless aesthetics. With a remarkable 17-year lifespan, ScreenBar® is more than a lamp—it is a long-term investment in the highest quality light, keeping your eyes clear and comfortable, and accompanying you in your pursuit of artistry and success.
