BenQ<\/a> today announced the launch of the iScreenBar, which it says is the first monitor light bar built for the iMac<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"iscreenbar
The iScreenBar is meant to look like an extension of the \u200ciMac\u200c, offering desk lighting that does not clash with the \u200ciMac\u200c’s design or block the camera or microphone. It’s made from aluminum and lights an area of 33.5 by 19.7 inches at 500 lux. A glass touch panel is available for adjustments, and there’s also a macOS app for tweaking brightness, color temperature, and light mode.<\/p>\n

It turns on and off using presence detection and can also activate when the \u200ciMac\u200c wakes, plus it dims or brightens as the lighting in the room changes. In video call mode, evens lighting and reduces glare on the face for a better image when the camera is in use.<\/p>\n

\"iscreenbar
The light bar mounts to the back of the \u200ciMac\u200c using a magnetic clamp, and it comes with a magnetic cable clip to hide cords. BenQ says asymmetric optics light the user’s desk without shining on the screen or in the eyes to reduce glare and preserve color accuracy. It is powered by the \u200ciMac\u200c’s USB-C port, which also allows for automatic camera mode activation.<\/p>\n

The iScreenBar can be purchased from BenQ<\/a> or from Amazon<\/a> for $189. It is compatible with the 24-inch \u200ciMac\u200c (2021 and later).<\/p>\n
