I found that 90 degrees was a bit wide for standard video calling while seated in front of the PC, and that 78 degrees looked right. The most useful setting in the Logitech app may be the one that lets you select the field of view, with choices of 90, 78, and 65 degrees. The HDR support is one of the best things about the Brio, producing a balanced image, as opposed to those often somewhat shadowy looking webcams, such as the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema. It lets you switch between widescreen and standard aspect ratios, turn HDR on and off, and switch anti-flicker between NTSC 60Hz and PAL 50Hz sources. You not required to run the Logitech Camera Setting app that comes with the Brio, but it's good to have for special circumstances. On my test Windows 10 PC, the installation was seamless, and the Brio was immediately available for Skype video calls and snapshot and video recording in the Windows Camera app.
When you plug the Brio webcam into a PC's USB port with the included USB 3.0 cable, drivers are automatically downloaded and installed.

Like the Logitech Webcam c930e, another top pick, the Brio's 5x zoom is only digital, not optical. It has a 90-degree horizontal field of view, compared with just 73.5 degrees for the Microsoft LifeCam Cinema. The camera is capable of 4K Ultra HD video, calling up to 4,096-by-2160 pixels at 30 frames per second (fps) and 1080p at 60fps. A privacy flip cover is also included to keep unwanted eyes from spying on you. Its long clip attached easily and securely to the top of the 4K touch screen of my Asus Zen AiO Pro Z249IC all-in-one PC. Pricing and Included Hardwareįor personal or professional use, the Brio ($199.00 at Logitech) (Opens in a new window) is as modern, clean, and stylish a webcam as I've ever seen, measuring 1 by 4 by 1 inches (HWD) and weighs 2.2 ounces.
It's worth its high price tag, so it's our top pick for webcams. Logitech bills the Brio as the ultimate webcam, and that's hard to contradict, with its unmatched resolution, High Dynamic Range (HDR), support for Windows Hello face login, and dual mics. But the Logitech Brio ($199) is there for the future, when super-fast internet connections will make 4K streaming commonplace. Right now, you don't really need a 4K webcam, since Skype and most other online videoconferencing services don't support that high a resolution.
