The BenQ ScreenBar Pro is the front-light-only step up in BenQ’s current ScreenBar family, built for desks where a monitor needs task lighting without a lamp taking up space. Its third-generation asymmetrical optics aim light at the desk rather than the display, with output rated above 1,000 lux at the center and a wide 500-lux pool for documents and keyboards. Brightness and color temperature adjust from warm to daylight tones, auto-dimming responds to ambient light, and an ultrasonic sensor switches the bar on or off with presence. Power runs over USB-C, and the clamp fits flat and curved monitors.
