ViewSonic announced two monitors featuring high-resolution displays with pop-up webcams. We've first seen the pop-up camera concept in the smartphones like OPPO and Xiaomi but the idea was discontinued soon enough as it requires a complex mechanism and tiny machinery to operate. Meanwhile, ViewSonic used that idea to Monitors instead and even claimed they play a significant if not innovative feature for bigger screen devices.
So the new feature uses fill-light LEDs on
either side which has the ability to change the color temperature while the
whole docking camera can rotate by up to 5 degrees Omni-direction. This may
also answer most streamers or bloggers or any webcam users' concerns about
lighting and angle issue. Having a pop-up mechanism also can allow users to
have privacy as they can simply put them down when not in use.
Moving forward, the monitors come in
24-inch (VG246V) w/ 1080p resolution and 27-inch w/ 2K resolution (VG2756V).
While their popup cameras have 2MP and 5MP respectively. Both also have 2-way
microphones which the brand claims have "industry-leading audio focus
capable of eliminating background noise" from either end of a conference
link.
The two variants come with a stand that
can pivot, tilt, and swivel, and a height-adjustable stand with a substantial
handle there's also a 100 x 100 VESA slot if you want to mount them. For ports,
they have HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort (input only) while also both have a wide
range of ports for "full connectivity" like the 1 90W USB-C connection
and RJ-45 socket for gigabit Ethernet.
US price:
- ViewSonic 24" VG246V - USD 358.99
- ViewSonic 27" VG2756V-2K - USD 480.99
