The BenQ ScreenBar Halo LED Monitor Lightbar with Auto-Dimming & Hue Adjustment is one of those smart products that make you wonder "Why did I not get this when I set up my workdesk?" - be it a work from home set up or home studio or even an office desk.

Intelligent Illumination that elevates your workspace

The clutter breaking, space saving advantage is just the beginning. In contrast to the clip-on design, its counterweight mechanism allows the light bar to firmly stay on the monitor without damaging the monitor itself. Once you set it up and start using it, the ScreenBar Halo blends so seamlessly into your work space that you hardly notice the product but appreciate and enjoy what it brings to the table...er..desk! There are a few versions of the ScreenBar and we reviewed the ScreenBar Halo with the wireless controller.

To begin with, the unboxing experience: Inside the box, you will find the Light bar, the Wireless Controller, Curved monitor accessory, Pad for ultra slim monitors, AAA Batteries, User manual and Warranty card.

Setting up the ScreenBar Halo is simple: plug in the cable into a 5V/1.3A USB Type A port (not USB-C), clip it on top of the monitor, put the 3 AAA batteries into the Wireless Controller and you are good to go! A power supply with an output of 5V/1A or more is required to ensure that the light bar can function properly.

A Good Hybrid

Canon's latest offering -the successor to the tried and tested Canon R6 III is the full frame EOS R6 Mark III, targeted at enthusiasts, - is a hybrid camera with high-end photo as well as video capabilities, but, in my opinion, leaning more towards cinematic video. It offers features like 7K RAW Open Gate recording (a fancy term for full-frame, non-cropped video), 4K/120p, LCPM/24-bit/4-channel Audio, and some more goodies. Let's see how this new baby performs...
