“"My desk lamp was creating reflections in my monitor that I didn't notice until I switched to the ScreenBar. The difference is dramatic. Should have bought this years ago."”

Very expensive for a desk light…
I love it but $199 for a monitor light feels steep. The standard ScreenBar at $109 has the same optics — paying $90 more for a wireless dial is a luxury, not a necessity.

My ultrawide has a very thin top bezel and the clip wobbled. Had to add a rubber shim to make it stable. Should include this in the box for thin-bezel monitors.

The auto brightness mode can be too conservative in the morning — it reads the room as brighter than it feels and dims the light more than I'd like. I use manual most of the time.

Very rarely the dial stops responding for a few seconds. Unplugging and replugging the bar fixes it every time, but it's a minor annoyance on a premium product.

The BenQ ScreenBar Plus is the best monitor light available and earns its premium with an optical design that genuinely eliminates screen glare and a wireless dial that makes adjustments effortless. If you work long hours at a desk and haven't tried a purpose-built monitor light, the quality-of-life improvement is real and noticeable. The main hesitation is price — the standard ScreenBar gets you the same optics for $90 less, and the wireless dial is the only meaningful upgrade.
