The BenQ ScreenBar is a revolutionary monitor lamp designed specifically for the modern trading desk. Unlike traditional desk lamps that create glare on screens and uneven lighting, the ScreenBar mounts on top of your monitor and illuminates only your desk surface, not your screen.
For traders who work in both day and night market sessions, proper lighting is crucial for reducing eye strain. The asymmetric optical design directs all light downward onto documents, keyboards, and desk surfaces while keeping your monitor completely glare-free. This is essential when reading printed charts, making notes in your trading journal, or referencing physical materials while trading.
The automatic brightness adjustment uses an ambient light sensor to maintain optimal illumination as natural light changes throughout the day. Manual controls let you fine-tune brightness and color temperature from cool daylight for alertness during active trading to warm light for evening study sessions. The space-saving design takes zero desk space, clamping securely to monitors of various thicknesses.
Power comes via USB, simplifying cable management and eliminating the need for a separate power outlet. For traders serious about creating an optimal work environment, the ScreenBar addresses a problem most people do not realize they have until they experience proper task lighting.
