Webcam For Computer Monitor

I use my computer with an external monitor that has no built-in webcam. My external webcam does mount on top of the monitor screen, but the viewing angle is not good. I used this device, along with the Square Jellyfish Tabletop Support (Aluminum), to support my webcam on the desk, under the monitor, as shown. As you can see from the attached image, the viewing angle is excellent. This device will not bear a load much greater than this one, and in particular, the ball, when moved, would have to be tightened down to hold a heavier device in place. There is an adjustment for this, but you have to unmount the device from your tripod to tighten it down. So I wouldn't recommend this as a general purpose ball head for anything that weighs more than a few ounces (100 g). But I have to give it 5 stars because out of the box it was perfect for my application.

I use the Lume Cube Panel Go & Ball Head Camera Mount with 3/8-16 Light Stand Adapter on an articulated gooseneck arm over my webcam on my computer monitor. The articulated arm is attached to the monitor stand. The light is bright and has good enough color for this use. I have not tried it with still photography or a video camera but it seems well designed and well enough built. The diffuser is flexible and seems to stay in place even though it fits between the light and the ball head top plate (screwing down the light is only slightly affected by this but it is not super tight without modifying the diffuser.) The ball head seems fine over the top of my computer webcam but I haven't tested it in a work or field application so I can't vouch for how sturdy it would be atop a camera or camcorder, i just haven't tried it that way. So far I'm very happy with the light and the way the adjustments work though all the information displays are on the back of the light and I use it front facing (so I can't see what the actual display says.) Good small light for a webcam application, no complaints so far.

When I upgraded my computer I purchased a monitor that didn’t have a webcam. After looking at different reviews I decided to try the Logitech C920s. I’m happy with results for what I need it for. The only thing I would like to see more control of is the color adjustment.

I added the Logitech Webcam C930e to my main desktop computer, since it didn't have a webcam, and I was tired of the poor image from my laptop camera. After downloading the Webcam C930e Control software, the screen view was much, much better, using the autofocus, auto white balance, and adjusting the color intensity (actually a saturation slider). Brightness and contrast sliders are also available. VERY happy with my purchase; I would buy it again.

I bought the Logitech C920s HD Pro Webcam for my photography computer, a Cyberpower Gaming tower and BenQ monitor that came without a webcam. I was pleased with how easy it was to set up the webcam and was pleasantly surprised with the better resolution it provided as compared with my home office Lenovo all-in-one computer.

Looks like a webcam to the computer. Works great

sounds great and easy to hook up. With a webcam on a docked computer, it is a must.

Love the computer so far but never got the monitor.

It's quite useful. Attached it to computer and monitor and it worked.

Yeah, yeah ... $5K for a monitor with no stand. We've all heard it. Well, get over it. If you want a decent monitor with all the bells and whistles (a swivel stand, tons of ports, a webcam, speakers, etc), there are plenty of other options out there for you at a fifth of the cost. I've been using the LG 4K monitor for a few years now and decided to upgrade to the newer 5K version. At $1,200 or so, that thing was not inexpensive, but it sure was disappointing. As many others have experienced, out of the box it had a very red / yellow tint to it that was nearly impossible to correct. After returning it, I elected to step up to the Apple Display and all I can say is that it is absolutely amazing. All the rumors are true - slight vignetting due to its size and proximity to your face on your desk; no added features like exterior controls, webcam, speakers, tons of misc ports; and it won't easily work with your PC ... but, the image is stunning and amazing. I use it for videography editing work and it is unreal. Mind blowing good. I do not regret the purchase whatsoever. Apple screams quality and this monitor does not disappoint. I'd have to say that a good portion of the high cost had to go into the packaging like all Apple products. No joke, the box weighs as much as or more than the monitor itself. A waste? Maybe to some. But for me ... given that this was shipped across the country from B&H, I appreciate legitimate packaging as we all know how terrible shipping companies can be. The monitor arrived in perfect condition and I'll be using the legitimate box for future moves and relocations. This is not a display that you wrap in a blanket and throw in the back of your car. Bottom line ... it you have the money, it's the best prosumer display on the market.
