Measurements of space above Studio Display webcam - space for a light bar accessory?

[Will Cheyney]

Hello.
Is someone able to measure the gap between the top of the web camera aperture and the top of the Studio display?
I’m asking as I’d like to know if it’s possible to have something like the BenQ ScreenBar sit on top of the display. The light bar clamp has a slight overhang so that it stays in place when positioned.
Here it is on top of my LG Ultrafine.

Many thanks

Unfortunately there is not enough gap. You have to move the BenQ ScreenBar a little big to one side to free up the camera lens. At least this is the case with the ScreenBar Halo.

@enricoclaudio thank you. Are you able to measure it the gap for me in MM?

What I've done is put a larger foam pad in my benq screen bar so that it lifts it up enough to not block it

It wouldn't take much time with a Dremel tool to grind away a curved area on the front of that lightbar clamp to clear a space around the camera. I think it would probably not have any affect on how well that clamps in position.

Thank you so much everyone! ?

For folks already using the BenQ ScreenBar with a glossy ASD: Are there any issues with reflections? Is it still possible to tilt the ASD all the way back without any glare or reflections caused by the different angle?

Do you mean glare caused by the ScreenBar? I get zero glare from the ScreenBar, even with the ScreenBar all the way to the back.

Wow that's a slick setup, I kind of wish I got dual Vesas now =c

Thank you for your post on the BenQ Halo and Apple Studio Display. Do you find that the light bar affects the quality of video capture through the webcam on your apple studio display monitor? Or the dynamic light adjustment (eg, night shift, dynamic desktop, etc)?

Just a comment for those considering purchasing the BenQ ScreenBar:

It is AWESOME - Best computer accessory I've bought in years. Using it on 27 inch iMac.
