BenQ ScreenBar Max Dual Monitor Desk Lamp

Description

BenQ ScreenBar® Max Dual Monitor Desk Lamp – ASYM-TriZone Light™, Auto Presence Detection & Ambient Backlight

The BenQ ScreenBar® Max is a professional dual monitor desk lamp designed specifically for wide workspaces where conventional desk lamps often struggle to provide consistent illumination. Built for dual-monitor setups, the ScreenBar® Max combines BenQ’s advanced ASYM-TriZone Light™ optical technology, ambient backlighting, automatic brightness adjustment and presence detection to create a more comfortable and focused workspace.

Unlike traditional lamps that flood light across the desk and can create unwanted reflections on displays, the ScreenBar® Max uses a precisely shaped optical beam to direct light toward the working area while helping keep illumination away from your screens.

The result is balanced lighting across the keyboard and desktop, making it easier to maintain a comfortable posture while working across two monitors.

With a 17.5–28cm sliding range, three height positions, a secure desk clamp for surfaces up to 6cm thick, and an optional freestanding base, the ScreenBar® Max can adapt to a variety of dual-monitor configurations.

Engineered Specifically for Dual Monitor Setups

Traditional desk lamps are generally designed to illuminate a relatively small single-screen workspace. On wide dual-monitor desks, this can result in uneven illumination, dark areas and unwanted screen reflections.

The BenQ ScreenBar® Max is designed around the requirements of wide dual-monitor workspaces.

Its lighting system provides:

• Wide and balanced illumination
• Glare-conscious optical design
• Precise light direction
• Broad desktop coverage
• Flexible positioning
• Ambient backlighting
• Automatic lighting adjustment

This makes the ScreenBar® Max particularly useful for professionals who regularly work across two monitors.

ASYM-TriZone Light™ for Precise Illumination

The ASYM-TriZone Light™ system builds on BenQ’s asymmetric lighting technology and is specifically engineered for wide dual-monitor setups.

The downward-facing optical structure and high-reflectivity aluminium reflector shape the light beam precisely, directing illumination toward the desk rather than flooding the surrounding area.

This helps keep unwanted light away from the displays and user’s direct line of sight.

Shaped Light Instead of Flooded Light

Conventional desk lamps often spread light in multiple directions. The ScreenBar® Max instead creates a focused triangular illumination pattern designed to cover the working area more efficiently.

The light is directed toward:

• Keyboard
• Mouse area
• Desktop
• Documents
• Other active workspace areas

This creates more consistent illumination across a wide desk without unnecessarily lighting the surrounding environment.

Wide 135 × 58cm Illumination Coverage

The ScreenBar® Max provides lighting coverage of approximately 135 × 58cm at 500 lux.

This wide coverage is designed to accommodate expansive dual-monitor desks where a conventional desk lamp may leave parts of the workspace poorly illuminated.

The broad lighting area is useful for:

• Dual-monitor workstations
• Large desks
• Programming setups
• Creative workstations
• Financial workstations
• Gaming desks
• Study areas
• Home offices

Up to 1400 Lux Centre Illuminance

The ScreenBar® Max provides a centre illuminance of up to 1400 lux at a 71cm height.

This provides a strong level of task lighting while the optical design distributes the illumination across the working area.

The high centre illuminance makes the lamp suitable for detailed desk-based tasks where clear workspace visibility is important.

Ambient Backlight for More Comfortable Viewing

The ScreenBar® Max includes an ambient backlight designed to balance the brightness difference between your screens and the surrounding room.

When working in a dim environment, a very bright display surrounded by a dark room can create a strong contrast between the screen and its surroundings.

The ambient backlight helps reduce this visual difference and is designed around an ANSI-recommended 1:3 screen-to-surrounding contrast ratio.

This can create a more comfortable environment for:

• Evening work
• Programming
• Gaming
• Video editing
• Reading
• Creative applications
• Extended computer sessions

Auto Presence Detection with mmWave Radar

The ScreenBar® Max incorporates mmWave radar sensing to detect your presence at the workstation.

The high-precision presence detection can automatically switch the lamp on as you approach your desk, reducing the need to manually operate the light.

The sensor is positioned approximately 71cm above the desktop and detects motion within approximately 60 ±10cm in front of the monitor.

The system is motion-based and may switch the lamp off after approximately 3 minutes without significant movement.

This makes the ScreenBar® Max particularly convenient for users who frequently move between their desk and other areas of the room.

Automatic Brightness Adjustment

The ScreenBar® Max can automatically adjust brightness according to the surrounding environment.

The automatic lighting system can provide illumination of up to 700 lux while helping maintain an appropriate brightness level without requiring constant manual adjustment.

This allows the lamp to respond to changing environmental conditions throughout the day.

Adjustable Colour Temperature from 2700K to 6000K

The ScreenBar® Max offers a broad 2700K–6000K colour temperature range, allowing users to customise the appearance of the light according to the activity.

Warmer lighting can be useful for:

• Relaxation
• Evening use
• Reading
• Casual browsing

Cooler lighting can be useful for:

• Focused work
• Programming
• Study
• Detailed tasks
• Productivity

The adjustable colour temperature also makes the lamp suitable for gaming and other personal workspace preferences.

High Colour Rendering with Ra≥95

The front light uses Dual Color LED technology and provides a Colour Rendering Index of Ra≥95.

A high CRI helps the illuminated workspace appear more natural and accurate, making it particularly useful when working with physical documents, printed materials, design references and objects where colour perception matters.

The ScreenBar® Max also provides a Colour Fidelity Index of Rf≥96 for the front light.

Flexible Sliding Position

The lamp provides a 17.5–28cm sliding range, allowing users to adjust the position of the lighting assembly relative to their monitors.

This makes it easier to fine-tune the lamp according to different screen widths and dual-monitor configurations.

The positioning range allows users to place the light where it provides the best coverage while maintaining the desired relationship with the monitors.

Three Height Levels

The ScreenBar® Max supports three height levels:

• 55cm
• 63cm
• 71cm

These options allow the lamp to accommodate different monitor sizes and configurations.

The adjustable height is particularly useful when switching between:

• Two horizontal monitors
• Mixed horizontal and vertical monitor setups
• Different monitor sizes
• Different desk arrangements

Recommended Positioning for Glare-Free Lighting

For optimal lighting performance, BenQ recommends positioning the lamp head approximately 5cm in front of the monitors.

This placement helps direct the optical beam toward the desk while reducing the chance of unwanted light falling directly onto the screens.

Dual Horizontal Monitor Setup

For two horizontal monitors:

• Under 27 inches: Lowest height
• 27–34 inches: Mid or highest height

Mixed Vertical Monitor Setup

For mixed-orientation displays:

• Under 23 inches: Lowest height
• 23–25 inches: Mid height
• 25–28 inches: Highest height

These positioning guidelines help users achieve more consistent illumination across different dual-monitor configurations.

Secure Desk Clamp

The included desk clamp supports desks up to 6cm thick.

The clamp has a compact footprint of approximately 9 × 7cm, helping preserve usable desk space.

Rounded edges are designed to provide a secure hold while helping protect the desk surface from damage.

This makes the ScreenBar® Max suitable for:

• Office desks
• Home-office desks
• Gaming desks
• Study tables
• Professional workstations

Optional Freestanding Desk Base

For setups where a clamp is not suitable, the ScreenBar® Max supports an optional freestanding desk base.

The base has a compact footprint of approximately 16.8 × 23.4cm.

The optional base is sold separately and provides an alternative installation method for users who prefer a freestanding configuration.
