SYDNEY, January 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As the new year begins, many Australians are making resolutions focused on long-term health, balance and wellbeing. While fitness goals and productivity improvements often dominate the conversation, eye comfort during prolonged use of the screen is often neglected.
As work, communication and entertainment become increasingly centered on screens, eyestrain has become a common challenge, especially for those who spend long hours in the office. Improving the environment around the screen is a practical way to encourage healthier work habits all year round.
Why lighting is more important than you think
As display technology continues to evolve, the lighting surrounding the screen plays a vital role in how our eyes adapt during prolonged use. Poor ambient lighting can increase glare and harsh contrast, which will put extra strain on the eyes.
Designed for screen-centric setups, BenQ Halo 2 Screen Bar focuses on visual balance rather than brightness alone. Mounted directly to the monitor, it combines asymmetrical front lighting with a soft three-zone backlight to create a more even transition between the screen and its surroundings.
This approach promotes visual comfort during long workdays, whether reviewing documents, participating in video calls or working late into the evening.
Designed for everyday workspaces
Designed for modern hybrid home and work environments, ScreenBar Halo 2 accommodates a wide range of monitor types, including curved displays, without taking up valuable desk space. A wireless controller allows users to adjust brightness and color temperature throughout the day, adapting lighting to changing tasks and conditions.
For those looking to make healthier, more sustainable work habits a priority this year, thoughtful lighting is a practical place to start. When it comes to New Year’s resolutions, investing in eye comfort is an improvement that continues to generate value well after January.
The ScreenBar Halo 2 monitor lighting is available through the BenQ Store and Amazon, with a limited-time New Year promotion, running from January 19 to February 1, 2026. https://benqurl.biz/3YE2NTo
