BenQ's First Dual-Monitor Desk Lamp Will Give Your Screens A Glow Up

BenQ launched the iScreenBar, the first monitor light bar designed specifically for the Apple iMac, alongside the ScreenBar Max for dual-monitor setups. The iScreenBar is an aluminum accessory that provides 500 lux of lighting over a 33.5 by 19.7 inch area without obstructing the iMac's camera or microphone. These products aim to provide glare-conscious illumination for specific workspace configurations. In Australia, both the iScreenBar and ScreenBar Max are scheduled to arrive on 22 September.

  1. BenQ Expands ScreenBar Line with iScreenBar for iMac and ScreenBar Max

    BenQ launched the iScreenBar, the first monitor light bar designed specifically for the Apple iMac, alongside the ScreenBar Max for dual-monitor setups. The iScreenBar is an aluminum accessory that provides 500 lux of lighting over a 33.5 by 19.7 inch area without obstructing the iMac's camera or microphone. These products aim to provide glare-conscious illumination for specific workspace configurations. In Australia, both the iScreenBar and ScreenBar Max are scheduled to arrive on 22 September.

    Why it matters

    Monitor light bars reduce screen glare and eye strain by directing light onto the desk rather than the display. BenQ is adapting its existing ScreenBar technology to fit non-standard hardware like the integrated iMac display and wide dual-monitor arrays.
