BenQ Screen Bar E-Reading LED Computer Monitor Light Lamp with Auto-Dimming and Hue Adjustment Features, USB Powered Office Lamp, Complements with…

最低設定でも結構な光量なので、モニターを下から覗き込むような姿勢になると光源が直接目に入り眩しいことがよくあります。もう一年くらい使ってると思いますが、モニターからの映像の見え方がどう変わるとかは実感としてありません。ただタッチパネル操作ひとつでデスクが明るくなるのはいいと思います。

It’s a useful addition to add task lighting to any workspace. My ceiling light is a strong harsh bright cold white light which is too much for day time or working into the night. In the evenings and morning the screenbar is on ambient mode which has soft lighting which is enough to read and write notes on the desk with indirect daylight from a window. If I need to write more at night I do turn up the brightness. Additional indirect light sources in a room is still helpful. I do find the ambient mode switch useful. The switches are easy to access. It mounts easily. I think the Plus model with additional desk controller is nice but really not necessary.

Be really, really nice to have a proximity sensor in future though.

Moved the existing desk lamp to another room to reclaim even more desk space.

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 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 am using it on my BenQ PD2700U. And it is good. But really can’t say that is this really justify the price! End of the day it’s a LED light with a auto brightness adjustment sensor and it cost around 10K. I don’t have any idea how good are the much cheaper alternatives as Baseus or Tukzer. May be they don’t have that sensor. But for the purpose it serves you can definitely go for cheaper alternatives. Now I can feel it would not be an big issue to use this one without that auto adjustment sensor.
