Product Information
Full details
The BenQ ScreenBar Pro is designed for professionals and students seeking to improve their workspace lighting for enhanced productivity and reduced eye strain. Its key benefit is providing bright, ultrawide, and glare-free illumination directly onto your desk. A potential caveat is its reliance on a stable monitor for secure mounting, as very thin or unusually shaped monitors might require careful adjustment. This monitor light offers superior lighting coverage compared to standard desk lamps, featuring asymmetrical optics to prevent screen glare and reflections. It includes intelligent features like a motion sensor for automatic on/off functionality and an auto-dimming feature that adjusts brightness based on ambient light, aiming for an optimal 500lx on the desk.

FAQs
How do I adjust the brightness and color temperature?
Use the integrated function buttons on the light. Typically, one button controls brightness by holding it down and sliding your finger, while another cycles through color temperature presets or allows adjustment.
What is the purpose of the asymmetrical optical design?
The asymmetrical design ensures light is directed downwards onto your workspace, preventing direct glare on your monitor screen and reducing eye strain.
How far does the motion sensor detect movement?
The motion sensor detects movement within a range of 60cm to 10cm from the light.
Can this light be powered by a laptop's USB port?
Yes, it can be powered by most standard USB ports, including those on laptops. For optimal performance, especially if using multiple USB devices, using the included power adapter or a high-power USB port is recommended.
What is the CRI rating of the BenQ ScreenBar Pro?
The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is 95, which means it provides excellent color accuracy, important for tasks where true color representation is crucial.
Does the ScreenBar Pro interfere with webcams?
No, the design is specifically made to mount on top of the monitor without obstructing the webcam's view.
What is the difference between the 'Pro' model and other monitor lights?
The Pro model typically offers enhanced features such as a wider illumination area, a motion sensor for automatic power management, and advanced auto-dimming capabilities compared to basic models.
Troubleshooting
Light does not turn on
Ensure the USB-C cable is securely connected to both the light and the power source. Try a different USB port or the provided power adapter. Verify the power source is active.
Light turns off unexpectedly
This might be due to the motion sensor. Ensure you are within the sensor's detection range (60-10cm) or disable the motion sensor if preferred. Check for any obstructions around the sensor.
Screen glare or reflection persists
Reposition the ScreenBar Pro slightly on the monitor clamp. Ensure the light is angled correctly to cast illumination directly onto the desk, not the screen.
Auto-dimming is not adjusting properly
Make sure the ambient light sensor on the light is not obstructed. Ensure the light is placed in an environment with varying light levels to test its responsiveness.
Clamp does not fit securely
Verify your monitor's thickness and curvature fall within the compatible range (0.43-6.5cm thickness, 1000-1800R curvature). Adjust the counterweight and ensure the monitor's top edge is flat and stable.
