Source: benq.com (read 2026-09-17) · corroborated by appleinsider.com (read 2026-09-17). BenQ's spec sheet, fetched directly, gives center illuminance >1000 lux at 50 cm, 500-lux coverage 85 x 50 cm, Ra>=95 and Rf>=96 on the front light, max 15 W over USB-C at 5V/3A, 0.8 kg net, and a clamp for 0.43-6 cm (0.17-2.36 in) flat or 1000-1800R curved monitors. BenQ's product page confirms 2700-6500 K, stepless dimming on both the front light and the tri-zone backlight, one-click auto-dimming to 500 lux, and an ultrasonic presence sensor that switches off after 5 minutes without motion. The 3 June 2025 launch date is confirmed by BenQ's own press release carried on PR Newswire, Morningstar and BenQ's UK and AU newsrooms. AppleInsider's review (5 March 2026, Amber Neely) is a real page; its 'more than 1000 lumens' is a misreading of BenQ's 1000 lux spec, so brightnessLumens stays null. AppleInsider lists $179 where BenQ's list is $199.
