BenQ’s official Middle East introduction of the ScreenBar Series in Dubai represents a significant advancement in workstation lighting, firmly establishing the brand at the crossroads of design, ergonomics, and visual health. The collection, which includes the new ScreenBar Halo 2 and the ScreenBar Pro Black & Silver variants, demonstrates BenQ’s in-depth awareness of how modern professionals, producers, and gamers use their workspaces.
ScreenBar Halo 2 and the Evolution of Eye Comfort
The ScreenBar Halo 2 is undoubtedly the standout product of this series. It was created over four years and features a perfected dual-light system that combines front-facing task lighting with a rear ambient backlight. This strategy directly addresses one of the most prominent causes of eye fatigue: the stark contrast between a bright screen and dark surroundings. The triple-curvature backlight, which increases rear lighting coverage by 423%, provides a more balanced visual environment that feels natural rather than distracting during extended working or gaming sessions.
Advanced Optical Engineering for Glare-Free Viewing
In addition, the front lamp of the ScreenBar Halo 2 features BenQ’s ASYM-Light technology. Its asymmetrical optical design and exact 18-degree cut-off angle ensure that light only hits the desk top, eliminating screen glare and preventing direct light from reaching the user’s eyes. In practice, this results in a clearer screen image and less visual strain, particularly over extended periods of use. The collaboration with the National Taiwan University of Science and Technology adds to the product’s legitimacy, with illumination regulated to maintain an ANSI-recommended brightness ratio of no more than 3:1 between the screen and its surroundings.
ScreenBar Pro – Intelligent Everyday Functionality
The ScreenBar Pro Black and Silver variants feature a more subtle but equally sophisticated design. The gravity-based zinc-alloy clamp is strong and adaptable, able to hold everything from ultra-thin displays to curved panels without inflicting pressure damage, making it especially enticing to consumers with expensive or unconventional monitor configurations. It also includes smart features like auto-dimming, auto on/off, and memory settings that improve everyday ease while eliminating the need for constant human adjustment.
Minimalist Design Meets Precision Control
Another area in which the ScreenBar Series shines is design. The metallic sheen and simple design of the Halo 2, which was co-developed with MINIMAL Design under Scott Wilson, fit in perfectly with upscale home offices and creative studios. From a warm 2700K to a sharp 6500K, the redesigned wireless control dial with an anti-fingerprint coating provides exact control over brightness and colour temperature. This degree of control is particularly useful for colour-sensitive jobs like late-night work, video production, and photo editing.
Conclusion: A Premium Solution for Professionals and Gamers
All things considered, the BenQ ScreenBar Series offers more than just lighting. It offers a comprehensive lighting ecosystem built around practical use, extended workdays, and demanding visual activities. BenQ has engineered products that enforce better viewing habits for increased focus with a perfect collaboration of intelligent automation, lighting ratio and ergonomic design. The advantages can extend beyond simple comfort to consistent performance and focus for professionals who might be working long shifts, creators working under colour-critical deadlines or gamers spending long hours in front of high-refresh displays. In particular, the ScreenBar Halo 2 is a premium-end and custom-engineered solution that simply sits snuggly on any modern work environment without compromising aesthetics or workspace. In a market that is becoming more concerned with eye health and ergonomic efficiency, the ScreenBar Series positions itself as a valuable investment in productivity, well-being, and long-term visual comfort.
