It was easy to mount on my monitor. Much easier than a similar light but on a different monitor I previously owned. The various lighting adjustments are simple to perform and it is very good quality. I do not regret my purchase. However, it is expensive for what it is.

A great product I must say. It is compatible with most of the monitors and clamps with ease on top. The weight of the clamp and its hold is appropriate enough for most monitors.
I have the model with the control dial which is really convenient, all metal construction and the control dial is also heave and with good rubber pads to keep it still. I would take a little time to adjust the angle of the light as per your liking and preferences.
One thing to be aware of: If you have a webcam that mounts on the monitor, you will have to look for something else as the screen bar sit over the monitor and leaves no space for webcams.
Overall very satisfied and happy with the product, but still at the end I do feel it’s not worth 12k, 9k around should be the cost or even less.

So you can see I have a two monitor setup. Initially I thought of buying 2 of these bars, but just for trial got one.
Pros: 1. It’s sleek and won’t get in your way. 2. The light is ample and pretty much lights up your desk. 3. Light is adjustable from warm white to white. You can use warm white for reading. 4. No reflection on the monitor. 5. Your eyes will thank you.
Cons: 1. A bit costly, as there’s another one Baesus which is almost 1/3rd the price, but I’m not sure about the quality. 2. If you have a dual monitor setup, you might need two of these, but that depends. I use a lamp behind the monitors to illuminate that area.

I’ve been using the BenQ Screenbar E-Reading LED Computer Monitor Light Lamp for over a year now and I have to say, I’m really impressed with it. The matte black design is sleek and modern, and it complements my backlight/RGB setup nicely. But what really sets this light apart is its auto-dimming and hue adjustment features.
One of the things I love most about this light is that it is USB powered. This means that it is easy to set up and use, and it also makes it easy to take with you on the go if you need to. The build quality is also impressive. It feels solid and well-constructed, and it has held up well over the past year.
The auto-dimming feature is a game-changer for me. It allows the light to automatically adjust to the ambient light in the room, which means that I can use it in any lighting conditions and still be able to see my screen clearly. The hue adjustment feature is also great, as it allows me to choose the color temperature of the light that I prefer.
One thing I will say is that this product is on the expensive side, and if you don’t have the extra money to spare, there are cheaper knock-offs available. However, I have tried both, and I have to say that this product is worth the extra money if you can afford it. The auto-dimming and hue adjustment features are so convenient, and the build quality is so good, that it’s definitely worth it to me.
Overall, I would highly recommend the BenQ Screenbar E-Reading LED Computer Monitor Light Lamp to anyone who is looking for a high-end reading light. It’s well-constructed, easy to use, and offers a lot of great features that make it well worth the investment.

I have mounted this light bar on a 32″ monitor and have a 25″ monitor alongside. It looks good and there is no reflection as claimed. I recommend having a separate passive backlight behind your monitor for a better experience.
PROS: + Build Quality + Looks Premium + Light Distribution + Analog Controller + Auto Function + USB Type-C Connector for Light Bar + USB Type-A Connector for Input Power Supply (5V/1amp) + Good Quality, Flat, Thick 1.5m Cable,
CONS: – Price Tag: $$$$$ – Shipping: Damaged the premium BenQ packaging – Power Adapter not included – Web Cam Mounting – 2m cable could have been better, especially if you are using a monitor arm.
PS: I like this light bar, but somehow, I believe I’ve paid way too much (~12K) for this. I would have loved it more if it was around ~5K.

I wanted to add ambient light to my desk setup(the only hobby left all thanks to covid) which has the following characteristics: 1. Help my eyes while I am staring at the screen for long hours. 2. Won’t take space on my desk. 3. Wiring should not be visible. 4. Should be Fancy AF.
This product just excels in that. It is very pleasing to look at and provides great lighting on the desk. Thanks to the high CRI, it also helps if you put stuff and photgraphs on your desk. It is an integral part of my desk. Although, if the Mi screen bar is launched, then I believe I would prefer that(Since that thing is cheaper). Other than the MI one, I do not believe the product could touch it. I didn’t buy the bigger brother (The plus model) because the rotary dials had wires(See, no wire rule). A wireless rotary dial would be the only area they could improve in.

I had previously experimented with cheaper options for lighting my workspace, and for the past year, I’ve been using one such option on another computer. However, after investing in the BenQ ScreenBar for 7500₹, I can confidently say that the difference in quality is truly remarkable. The ScreenBar not only enhances the lighting in my workspace, but it also offers a level of brightness and color accuracy that I hadn’t experienced before. I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to improve their workspace lighting

Get this model with the wired remote control. From other reviews, the more expensive model with the wireless controller has too many issues. The wired model works perfectly, with no issues. I was going to get the cheaper model without the wired controller, but trust me, having the ability to easily change brightness, and turn the light on and off without having to fumble around with the light bar is worth it. Other than that, it works well, gets bright, the remote is heavy and has a quality look and feel. Not much else to say. You pay for what you get here.
Just to clear up some errors I’ve seen in other reviews: -Yes, you can turn the light on and off with the controller-make sure to take out the protective cardboard from the controller knob. -Yes, you can power the light on and off independently from your computer power. Get a separate USB power supply (cheap) and you don’t need your computer power. -There are numerous brightness and colour temperature settings, not just a few -You can place your webcam on top of the light mount (or at least the logitech 920/922) -Yes, you can use a USB extension cable to plug into a power source beyond the length of the supplied cable. I’m using the Amazon Basics 2.0 6.5 ft cable and it works well. That is a high-quality cable – some are thin and maybe can’t properly handle the 5w.
