VIDEO TRANSCRIPT 📜
The BenQ Monitor light bar has been the most used light bar in clean and minimal desk setups
But is it really that much better than its competitors like the Baseus monitor light bar?
Take a look at desk setups in the battlestations sub-reddit and desk setups in the instagram community and you will see evidence of its overwhelming popularity despite there being several other options out there.
When comparing the price, the light bar by BenQ comes in at $109 dollars while the Baseus is priced at $37 dollars.
Given the wide price gap,it’s fair to assume there is something the BenQ monitor light bar does that others don’t, right?
Maybe we are being copy-cats by purchasing the BenQ monitor light bar because we’ve seen them in so many cool setups?
Or is there something about the BenQ monitor light bar that stands out above the rest
At the end of this video you will know exactly if the Baseus monitor light bar is for you or if you should go with the ever popular version by BenQ

Really appreciate a great straight forward objective balanced analysis. No fluff no hype and you covered all the bases (or "baesus") sorry... anyhow. Just stumbled on your channel but I like your mellow vibe and clear unbiased thorough analysis. It was also refreshing how you brought in the 'like subscribe' call out. Bless you for not saying "Smash" the like button. I can't tell you how many of these KZread YeeHaws get my subscribe unsubscribed with they keep yelling about smashing an imaginary button. Again - great straight forward smooth style with an economy of words. Great voice too BTW.

Very good editing and good video. I suggest side by side comparison of the two (e.g. when you show how bright they are in the dark room etc.)
Great comparison video, Watts! Thanks for featuring my setup. I have the BenQ screen bar plus which is a bit more expensive than the standard screen bar. I like that the plus version has the dial to easily adjust the brightness and color temperature without having to reach up to the top of my screen. I have short arms so reaching up to the top of my screen every time I want to adjust would be super inconvenient for me. 🙈

I personally own the Baseus & BenQ screen bar over a year now with heavy usage. I purchased the BenQ because of the great reviews and figured it will be a good fit for my BenQ monitors staying in the eco system but the baseus has been much better on my eyes. The BenQ after adjusting are simply too bright the only thing is that it feels more secure on the monitor and I love using the control. Trust me you not missing anything with the BenQ.

Neither, the Yeelight Pro Lightbar is excellent. It has a remote that works perfectly, a separate backlight. I wanted to buy the BenQ, but a friend recommended the Yeelight. My monitor has a light „hump“ on the back, but it still fits fine. It‘s great for working and gaming. My eyes are less strained! Oh, the backlight is either RGB (customizable) or normal lighting, another nice feature. Hope this helps.
I say better goes on with the iMac as it would keep you and your MacBook connected also as the same kind of experiences in desktop computers..
