BenQ's New iScreenBar is a Monitor Light Bar Made for the iMac

BenQ has introduced the iScreenBar, a monitor light bar specifically engineered for the Apple iMac. The aluminum device provides 500 lux of illumination across a 33.5 by 19.7 inch area without obstructing the computer's microphone or camera. Alongside this, BenQ released the ScreenBar Max to support dual-monitor desk configurations. These products aim to provide glare-conscious lighting tailored to specific hardware footprints, with the iScreenBar designed to integrate visually with the iMac's existing aesthetic.

  1. BenQ Launches iScreenBar for iMac and ScreenBar Max for Dual Monitors

    BenQ has introduced the iScreenBar, a monitor light bar specifically engineered for the Apple iMac. The aluminum device provides 500 lux of illumination across a 33.5 by 19.7 inch area without obstructing the computer's microphone or camera. Alongside this, BenQ released the ScreenBar Max to support dual-monitor desk configurations.

    Why it matters

    Standard monitor light bars often conflict with the unique chassis and sensor placement of all-in-one computers. By creating a dedicated iMac version, BenQ addresses specific design constraints of Apple hardware. The expansion into dual-monitor support targets power users with wider workspace requirements.
