Our review
The ScreenBar Halo is the most complete bar of the BenQ range covered here: adjustable brightness and color temperature, USB-C power and a wireless remote so you never touch the screen. It costs 169 EUR, four times the Quntis, and its warranty stops at one year. The 4.6/5 over 3,200 reviews rewards above all the visual comfort at the end of the day.
