Our review
The ScreenBar Plus slots between the standard ScreenBar and the Halo, at 121 EUR. It keeps the brightness and temperature adjustments and the USB-C power, but without the wireless link of the Halo. Its 4.6/5 over 4,100 reviews matches the Halo's, which makes it the best compromise of the BenQ range covered here.
Frequently asked questions
Is the BenQ ScreenBar Plus wireless?
No, the connection stays wired. The cable plugs in over USB-C on the device side. That is one more cable to route behind the desktop, in exchange for permanent power and no battery to keep an eye on. No RGB backlighting is listed for this model.
Is the BenQ ScreenBar Plus suitable for long daily use?
That depends on your habits. The manufacturer makes no specific ergonomics claim and it offers adjustment, which counts over full days at the desk. Its 4.6/5 score across 4,100 Amazon reviews gives a sense of how it feels in daily use. The wired connection, on the other hand, pins it to one spot on the desk.
What warranty comes with the BenQ ScreenBar Plus?
BenQ quotes 1 year of warranty on this model. That is the shortest duration recorded in our accessories selection. Set against the 121 euro price, that duration sets how long the manufacturer stays committed, a criterion that often separates two light bars that look alike on paper.
