The best monitor with webcam overall
30-second review: Our top pick for the best monitor with webcam is the Dell C2722DE. It's a fairly old monitor now and doesn't have the most modern looks, but what this Dell lacks in thrills, we find it makes up for in quality and reliability. It was designed specifically with video conferencing in mind, and we think it's a strong option for consumers and businesses looking for a solid value monitor with a webcam.
Pricing: This monitor provides excellent value at little over $300 / £400. There are better displays and webcams further down on our list, but if you're looking for a balance of quality and price, this is hard to beat.
Design and features: The monitor has an unassuming but ergonomic design, sporting traditional business monitor looks. There are plenty of connectivity options with DisplayPort 1.4 and HDMI 1.4, plus a DP Out slot with MST for daisy-chaining and a USB-C port with 90-Watts of power delivery that can charge a laptop.
Display: At 27 inches, the display provides a decent amount of space for working on other panels while taking a video call. Covering 99% sRGB as per our tests, it's not quite there for those who want exceptional colour coverage, but it will be fine for creative work for people who don't need too much precision.
Webcam: We found that the 5MP FHD webcam offers a clear image for everyday video conferences and calls. While the microphone can't compete with the noise-cancellation of a dedicated USB mic, the sound is surprisingly good, as are the 5-watt speakers, which sound crisper than many built-in monitor speakers.
The best budget monitor with webcam
30-second review: This is one of the cheapest monitors with a webcam that we know of, but thankfully, its low price doesn't mean that you have to compromise on quality. It's aimed at users looking for a value business display.
Pricing: This a cheap monitor by any measure so the fact that it comes with a webcam is quite impressive. It's not a display for creative professionals or anyone who demands great colour coverage, but it does the job for video calls and general office work at a very modest price.
Design and features: The design of this business-oriented monitor is a little dull. However, the bezels are thin and, providing you can get past the angular base, there's plenty on offer here.
Display: This is a 24-inch 1080P (Full HD resolution) display. At this size, that relatively low resolution is just fine since we find you need at least around 27 inches to see the benefits of 4K. It's quite a small screen for multitasking or creative work, but this could be a good choice for people who don't have the biggest workspace or don't want their monitor to dominate their space.
Webcam: The monitor sports a full HD webcam and dual microphone array, and we found the picture and sound to be clear if not exactly anything special. You can fully adjust the webcam. There's a shutter if you want total privacy, and you can tilt or swivel it to get the right angle.
The best 4K monitor with webcam
30-second review: K monitors with webcams were quite a rarity until recently, and the Dell Ultrasharp U3223QZ is one of the best exceptions. Aimed at creative execs, it boasts a host of multitasking features, premium build and great performance in a robust package.
Pricing: With 4K becoming more of a norm, 4K monitors are coming down in price, but there are few that sport quite so many features, including a webcam. As a result, the Dell Ultrasharp U3223QZ is inevitably rather expensive at full price (though it isn't the most expensive on our list). Look out for deals below because we've seen savings of around $300 off the recommended retail price. If you're in the UK, you can buy the monitor from the Dell UK website.
Design and features: This is the best monitor webcam we've tested, and Dell's delivered a premium look in terms of design for this monitor too. The rear panel, stand, and base have a platinum finish that reminds us of a MacBook Air or Dell’s XPS laptops.
Display: We found that with 1.07 billion colours and 100% Rec 709, 100% sRGB, and 98% DCI-P3, the Dell UltraSharp U3223QZ is a monitor with a webcam that can also handle creative work. As for connectivity, you get an HDMI, two DisplayPorts and two USB-C ports, one with 90 watts of power to charge a laptop. You can use the USB-C to daisy chain a second 4K monitor if desired.
Webcam: The webcam has a Sony STARVIS CMOS Sensor for up to 4K at 30 fps or 1080p at 60fps. This comes with presence detection for automatic login using the My Dell app, AI auto-tracking to keep you centred and digital overlap HDR that recovers details in shadows. It also has an adjustable field of view and zoom. There's a mic on each of the top corners and sound, while not stunningly detailed, was clear enough when we tested it, and the background noise rejection seems to work well.

This is a monitor for serious people having serious meetings with other serious people while working on some serious multitasking projects. It's essentially a monitor for video-conferencing first and foremost, with a great webcam, but the price tag puts this display squarely in the executive category I'd say.
The best curved monitor with webcam
30-second review: A curved monitor tends to be something you like or don't. It can provide a more immersive viewing experience for media and entertainment. If that's what you're looking for, we think this is a great all-around performer for creative tasks and/or business, and it has an inbuilt, pop-out webcam.
Pricing: We think this is a little pricey at the full recommended retail price, but we've seen some good deals, which potentially make it a great buy.
Design and features: We found the monitor to be sturdy thanks to a rather weighty base. It was easy to set up, with very little wobble. In terms of economics, it allows a good range of positions to get the perfect viewing angle at your desk. The bezels are slim, maximising screen real estate and minimising distraction. We did find that the base sits quite far back from the screen, so you need to allow some space to avoid your desk feeling encroached upon.
Display: Besides the webcam, this screen ticks a lot of boxes. We found that the monitor handles side-by-side windows effortlessly, which is one of the plus points of having an ultra-wide monitor if you've got complex projects on the go. And creatives will be happy with the display, which we found calibrated really well (0.31 Delta E puts it at one of the most colour accurate we've tested). It also held up well in bright sunlight. We don't recommend this monitor for gaming, though, as the refresh rate just won't stand up to the pace.
Webcam: The webcam itself is 5MP, Zoom-certified and compatible with standard video conferencing. It has Windows Hello enabled (a bit like Apple's Face ID). The webcam also streams at high-res 1080p at 30FPS and we found that it performs well in still images. In fact, we think it'll perform better than most laptop cameras, making the screen an excellent companion to your laptop.

This is a great higher-end option for users who need an immersive, bright and accurate monitor for business and productivity work. There’s little to stop us from recommending it, but if you’re a gamer, be prepared to look elsewhere for ultimate performance here.
The best Apple monitor with webcam
30-second review: The Apple Studio display provides a decent webcam in a 5K retina display monitor with a sleek design and a creative focus, which is very refreshing in a sea of more business-oriented monitors.
Pricing: Now we come to the negative part. The pricing was one of the main reasons we only gave the display three stars in our original review. It's a nice screen, but we feel that it's hard to justify the price tag for many users. At well over $2,000 / £2,000, we would like to see more for the price.
Display: When we reviewed it, the Studio Display didn't exactly wow us. Not because it's bad but just because of what else we would have liked it to have for the asking price (the lack of HDR support seems a strange choice for Apple). However, performance was decent, with bright and vivid image quality. There's support for one billion colours with P3 wide colour (more than sRGB).
Webcam: When it comes to the webcam, we actually thought it was fine, at least in decent lighting. The Center Stage feature uses artificial intelligence to keep you centred even if you move around while you're on screen. There's also a studio-quality mic array, and the A13 Bionic chip offers Dolby Atmos audio for sound that's pretty impressive as far as built-in monitor speakers go.
Read our full Apple Studio Display review
The Studio Display is an interesting screen for creatives, and its image quality is great, but it doesn’t live up to its potential. Lack of HDR, limited ports and an underwhelming webcam means the asking price will be too high for many. The extra spend needed to adjust the monitor's height is another turn-off.
The best smart monitor with webcam
30-second review: The Samsung M8 is a monitor with a webcam that's a little different in that it's a smart monitor. That means that it comes loaded with several apps that allow you to do a range of basic tasks without needing to be connected to a PC. They include browsing, sending emails, gaming and Smart TV streaming. The apps also include Google Meet, but unfortunately, Google has decided to stop supplying the app to Samsung smart TVs and monitors.
Pricing: We think the price of the M8 is very reasonable, although it only really makes sense if you think you're going to make use of those smart features.
Design and features: We think the smart features on this distinctly Apple-looking monitor could be useful for people who want a screen for a range of uses and not necessarily always for a full session of work. It could save you from buying a separate TV, and it can save you time with certain tasks. You can also play games via the Xbox Game Pass and there's voice assistant functionality from Alexa and Samsung's Bixby.
Display: The display has a peak brightness of only 400 nits, but we found the dynamic HDR10+ serves well to recover detail in dark and light areas. Our tests also showed good colour coverage and accuracy for creative work (after calibration). The biggest negative is the sound quality from the speakers, although that's the case with so many monitors.
Webcam: The webcam is not a built-in camera but a magnetic stick-on device. It's compact and non-intrusive and it has face tracking and auto-zoom functions. Originally, the big novelty was being able to make video calls without having to boot up by using the native Google Meet app, but that has now been removed.
Read our full Samsung M8 review
The Samsung M8 is an attractive 4K monitor that comes loaded with more features than you can dream of, and while it might not have a computer inside, it can still function without one for certain tasks that can be performed online. We would absolutely love it if it weren’t for its middling audio, its non-existent ergonomics, and its wobbly build.
The best superwide monitor with webcam
30-second review: For a really wide screen, there's this giant from Philips. Ultrawide monitors with webcams are a very rare breed, but if you have the desk space, the Philips 40B1U6903CH is just the thing for an expansive display complete with a webcam.
Pricing: This is an expensive monitor and is around the same price as the Apple Studio Display. Still, you get a much better screen for your money.
Design and features: The Philips 40B1U6903CH is a curved ultrawide display with an aspect ratio of 21:9. With that much screen, your productivity really benefits if you want to use multiple programs at once and spread them across the panel. There's also a wide range of adjustment options (height, swivel and tilt), so you should be able to move it however you need for a comfortable position.
Display: The Philips 40B1U6903CH came with plenty of benefits, including an immersive curved display covering 98% of the DCI-P3 gamut, a crisp 5K resolution, a USB hub and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity.
Webcam: The pop-up webcam contains advanced sensors for Windows Hello, which means that if you're on Windows, you can use the webcam to sign in, much like Apple's FaceID. The benefit of using a webcam on such a large screen is that you can view the person you're talking to in a video call and still have plenty of space to pull up any documents or presentations that you might need to consult during the conference (or just get on with work if you zone out!).
Read our full Philips 40B1U6903CH review
The Philips 40B1U6903 is a monster of a monitor that is not only big on real estate, but pixel density and price too. Connectivity is excellent and the work area makes it plenty big enough to be the only screen you'll need.

How to choose the best monitor with webcam
To find the best monitor with webcam for your needs, think about what's most important to you. Is it important, for instance, to have a high resolution picture? Most models nowadays have Full HD (1920x1080) displays, but we are starting to see more 4K monitors with webcams. You will, however, pay more for this extra picture detail, so there's a balance to be struck here.
If you work as a visual creative, you'll also be looking for high-quality colour coverage and brightness, to show your work in the best and most accurate light. (For more on this, read our article What is colour gamut?). A decent refresh rate and response time are also good to keep things nice and smooth, especially if you're a keen gamer. And of course, you'll want connectivity that fits your computer; which might include VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, HDMI or USB-C/Thunderbolt. For more advice, see our guide to how to calibrate a monitor.
How we tested the best monitors with webcam
When reviewing monitors, we measure their brightness, contrast, colour accuracy and coverage to make sure they deliver on the specs they promise. But that's only part of it. We also put them through real-world tasks like design, photo editing and video editing, to see what it's like to use them in practice. For monitors with webcams, we evaluate camera performance during video calls and conferences. We also compare specs, gather feedback from contributors, and check customer reviews.

FAQs
What's the benefit of buying a monitor with a webcam?
You might be wondering what advantage a monitor with an internal webcam offers over just buying a separate monitor and webcam. Well, it simple terms it means less faffing. You just have one device, saving you having to connect the webcam and monitor together, needing to position the camera, and having to find space on your desk for an external webcam.
What's the downside to buying a monitor with a webcam?
Some people, especially content creators, prefer the flexibility of an external camera for positioning. If you buy a monitor with an integrated webcam, that camera is fixed in place, putting limitations on filming angles.
What specs do I need for a webcam?
The ideal is a webcam that delivers at least 1080p resolution – 720p is just about acceptable, but that extra resolution makes a real difference (except for when you're reduced to a tiny portion of a gallery view).
Stereo microphones are also a definite plus, and if you have concerns about privacy, you may want to consider a pop-up webcam that you can put away when not in use, or at least one with a privacy screen that can cover the lens.
What software can I use with a monitor with integrated webcam?
Monitors with built-in webcams are designed to be universally compatible with popular video-conferencing software. They typically function as plug-and-play USB devices, allowing them to work seamlessly with applications like Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and Skype. Some monitors may come with their own software for advanced features, but this is usually optional and shouldn't affect basic functionality with standard video-conferencing apps.
Are monitors with webcams secure?
The best monitors with integrated webcams often include privacy features such as built-in shutters that hide the camera when it's not in use. This can help give you peace of mind that even if nefarious actors somehow manage to access your webcam, they won't be able to see anything.
Can I use the webcam on a monitor for streaming or recording?
Yes, most integrated webcams on monitors can be used for streaming or recording, provided they meet the quality requirements for your platform. That said, for professional content creation, you might prefer an external camera for better resolution, frame rate and positioning flexibility.
Can the webcam on a monitor be upgraded or replaced?
No, generally, webcams integrated into monitors cannot be upgraded or replaced since they are built into the monitor’s hardware. If you require better video quality or additional features, you would need to use an external webcam alongside the monitor.
