However, the market for monitors with webcams is still niche, and there aren’t as many options as their conventional counterparts. We have compiled a list of the top monitors with built-in webcams that you can check out. Let’s get started. But check these out first,
Here are the best monitor arms with built-in cable managementTake a look at these monitor stand risers with storage
1. ASUS BE24EQK Business Monitor
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 FHD (24-inches) | Refresh rate: 60Hz | Panel: IPSPorts: 1 x DisplayPort 1.2, 1 x HDMI 1.4, 1 x VGA, 1 x USB 2.0, 2 x 3.5mm audio
The only catch is that you will have to connect the webcam via the dedicated USB-B to USB-A cable. That said, the camera is pretty flexible and lets you rotate it around 300-degree. The camera quality is decent for the price, though the images tend to be a tad grainy. There are no autofocus options, but for the occasional zoom meeting, it does a pretty decent job. The ASUS BE24EQK’s image quality is good for the price. But at the end of the day, it is not designed for color-sensitive work. It gets the picture on the screen, and that’s about it. For the record, it can display 87.4% of the sRGB color spectrum. The connectivity options are again, satisfactory. You get the options for both DisplayPort and HDMI connectors, and there’s a legacy VGA connector as well. Unlike premium and mid-range monitors, it lacks USB-A and USB-C ports. On the upside, there’s support for the VESA mount as well, should you want to mount it in a monitor mount. If you want a barebones monitor with a webcam for the occasional video conference (and want to save on money), then the BE24EQK is a good pick.
2. Acer CB272 Dbmiprcx ErgoStand Monitor
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (27-inches) | Refresh rate: 75Hz | Panel: IPSPorts: 1 monitor connection, 1 x HDMI, 1 x VGA, 1 x USB 2.0, 1 x 3.5 audio
That said, this Acer monitor has a cool design with a bezel-less display. So, the frameless design will lend a uniform design even if you want to add a secondary display to the rig. It bundles a 1080p webcam and lets you stream games or attend video calls with ease. Plus, it also facilitates Windows Hello. The camera is adjustable to some extent. However, the built-in speakers are a tad weak. The picture quality is satisfactory for the price of the monitor. The images appear clear and crisp. However, when it comes to connectivity options, the Acer CB272 lacks DisplayPort and USB ports. That means if you have quite a few peripherals like a keyboard or mouse to connect, the best option would be to get a USB hub to connect to the GPU. On the positive side, the monitor has fairly good ergonomics. For example, you can rotate it to the portrait mode and adjust its height (unlike the one above). Plus, it supports VESA mounting.
3. HP EliteDisplay E243d Monitor
Resolution: 1920 x 1080p (23.8-inches) | Refresh rate: 60Hz | Panel: IPSPorts: 1 x DisplayPort 1.2, 1 x HDMI 1.4, 1 x D-sub, 1 x Ethernet, 1 x USB-C (65W), 4 x USB 3.0, 1 x 3.5 audio
The best part is that the webcam is a pop-up camera, thereby making it a little safer from a privacy point of view. It has a button on top, which you need to press for the camera to be activated. As we noted above, it’s a simple 720p camera and gets the work done. However, as per the folks at Expert Reviews, it tends to oversaturate the colors. On the upside, the mics do a good job of capturing noise-less audio. There are ample ports in this one, including a handy Ethernet port. In addition, the combination of HDMI and DisplayPort gives you the needed wriggle room to connect it to your PC. Plus, the USB ports ensure easy connectivity. But, it comes at a price, and that’s cable management. That said, the E243d bundles a strong base and a sharp look. And yes, if you do not want to spend a ton, this monitor is great for regular office work.
4. Dell P2418HZ LED Display
Resolution: 1920 x 1080 (23.8-inches)| Refresh rate: 60Hz | Panel: IPSPorts: 1 x DisplayPort 1.2, 1 x HDMI 1.4, 1 x VGA, 5 x USB 3.0, 1 x 3.5mm audio
The camera supports both Skype and Windows Hello and delivers good image quality for the price. At the same time, the mic transmits your voice well. The good thing is that the panel is bright enough for everyday work. Owing to the camera at the top, the Dell P2418HZ has slight bezels at the top and bottom. Plus, it has an ergonomic design, and you can tweak the height as per your preference. Connectivity options are a tad limited, but you do get the option of both HDMI and DisplayPort. Moreover, the array of USB 3.0 is a plus.
5. Dell C3422WE Video Conferencing Monitor
Resolution: 3440 x 1440p (34-inch) | Refresh rate: 60Hz | Panel: IPSPorts: 1x DisplayPort 1.2, 1x HDMI 2.0, 1x USB Type-B, 1x USB-C (90W), 1x USB-C (15W), 2x USB-A, 1x USB 3.2 Type-A (charging), 1x Ethernet, 1x 3.5mm audio
Naturally, the display is sharp and the colors are crisp and accurate. For the record, it can display 87% of the DCI-P3 color gamut. So while it may not be good for professional color-critical work, it’s apt for business work. One of the main highlights of this monitor is the controls. The Dell C3422WE bundles a set of touch-sensitive buttons at the front to launch Microsoft Teams or play with the volume and the playback. Last but not least, the Dell C3422WE is ergonomic and has a solid stand. But at the end of the day, if you do not mind spending cash on a monitor and want a series of good connectivity options, then the Dell C3422WE is a good pick.
Say Cheese!
Integrated webcams on monitors surely save you from the hassle of buying or attaching a dedicated webcam. However, while these webcams deliver decent picture quality, they may not be as sharp as dedicated webcams like the Logitech Brio. However, if you do not mind the quality, the HP EliteDisplay E243d monitor is a good one to pick. The above article may contain affiliate links which help support Guiding Tech.
