iMac M6 Gets Smart Lighting Upgrade
15 Nov
Summary
- BenQ's iScreenBar offers magnetic mounting for iMacs.
- It features a video call mode that disables center LEDs.
- The accessory costs $189 and is made of aluminum.
The BenQ iScreenBar has been introduced as a premium accessory designed to enhance the iMac M6 experience. This $189 light bar magnetically attaches to the back of the iMac, offering a seamless setup process that mirrors Apple's own accessory design. Made from aluminum, it is available in silver and will soon come in blue and green to match specific iMac colors. The iScreenBar illuminates the user's workspace without causing glare on the display itself.
A standout feature is its dedicated video call mode, which automatically activates when the iMac's webcam is in use. This mode intelligently turns off the center LEDs to ensure the webcam captures the clearest possible image. Users can also manually adjust brightness and color temperature, ranging from 2700K to 6500K, through touch-sensitive buttons on the device or via a dedicated macOS application. The presence sensor automatically turns the light on when a user approaches the computer.
