BenQ has introduced the ScreenBar Halo 2 in India, its next-generation premium monitor light bar designed to deliver balanced illumination, reduce eye strain, and upgrade productivity for professionals, creators, and gamers. After four years of R&D and extensive user testing, the Halo 2 arrives as a major upgrade over the previous ScreenBar series, bringing smarter lighting, wider coverage, and refined aesthetics. Last month, BenQ launched the ScreenBar Pro monitor light bar and the PD2770U 27-inch 4K professional monitor featuring a built-in calibrator.
The ScreenBar Halo 2 features a dual-light system with a triple-curvature backlight, offering 423% wider desk coverage compared to its predecessor. It’s engineered to maintain an ANSI-recommended 3:1 luminance ratio between screen and surroundings, reducing visual fatigue during long sessions.
At its core is BenQ’s ASYM-Light Optical Technology, which shines light at an 18° asymmetrical angle onto the desk – never the screen – ensuring zero glare and zero reflection, even on glossy or curved monitors. The result: a significantly more comfortable and distraction-free workspace, ideal for coding, color grading, video editing, gaming, or late-night productivity.
BenQ has completely redesigned the control dial with a clean, anti-fingerprint wireless controller. It allows smooth adjustment of:
- Brightness: 0 – 100% stepless control
- Color temperature: 2,700K (warm) to 6,500K (cool)
Advanced smart features include:
- Motion Detection: Ultrasonic sensor turns the light on when you return and off when idle
- Auto-Dimming: Adapts brightness to ambient lighting levels
- Memory Mode: Remembers your preferred lighting setup
These upgrades offer a customized and intuitive lighting experience without interruptions.
The ScreenBar Halo 2 is co-designed with MINIMAL Design (Scott Wilson) and features a sleek metallic finish that pairs perfectly with BenQ’s PD, RD, MOBIUZ, and MA monitor series. The improved zinc-alloy mounting system fits a wide range of displays, including ultra-thin, thick, flat, and 1,000R – 1,800R curved monitors, while avoiding screen damage by resting gently instead of clipping tightly.
Durability is also a highlight, with testing across:
- Extreme temperatures
- Drop impact
- Rotation cycles
- Clip stress
- Cable swings
BenQ rates the LED lifespan at 50,000+ hours, ensuring years of consistent use.
Rajeev Singh, Managing Director, BenQ India & South Asia, said, “At BenQ, great technology should elevate human experience. The ScreenBar Halo 2 combines intelligent engineering, elegant design, and smart automation to make modern workspaces healthier, more productive, and visually inspiring.”
