The best monitor with webcam overall
30-second review: The Dell UltraSharp 32 6K Monitor (U3224KB) is quite simply the best monitor with a webcam you can buy right now. With over 21 million pixels packed into a 32-inch display, this monitor delivers breathtaking clarity that puts even 4K to shame. That makes it perfect for creatives who need to see every detail in their work, whether that's editing 6K video footage, retouching high-resolution photos, or managing complex multi-window workflows. The integrated 4K webcam and dual 14W speakers, meanwhile, mean you're always ready for video calls without cluttering your desk with extra peripherals.
Pricing: This is a premium monitor with a premium price tag, typically retailing around $3,199 / £2,542. However, we've seen it drop to around $1,800 / £1,800 during sales, which makes it more competitive with high-end 4K alternatives, and actually cheaper than Apple's Pro Display XDR, while offering more features and connectivity options.
Design and features: Dell has created a sleek, professional design with a clean black bezel and silver backing. The stand offers excellent ergonomics with tilt, swivel, and portrait mode rotation. What really sets this apart is the comprehensive port selection: Thunderbolt 4 with 140W power delivery means you can connect and charge your laptop with a single cable. There's also HDMI 2.1, mini DisplayPort 2.1, five USB-A ports, two USB-C ports, and even Gigabit Ethernet. The front-facing pop-out panel with USB-C and USB-A ports is perfect for quick access to thumb drives. The built-in KVM switch lets you control two computers with one keyboard and mouse, seamlessly switching between them.
Display: With 6K resolution, you get crystal-clear image quality that's perfect for detailed creative work. We found the colour accuracy to be exceptional right out of the box, covering 99% of DCI-P3 and 100% of Rec.709 colour spaces. The IPS Black panel technology delivers an impressive 2000:1 contrast ratio with deep blacks alongside bright whites. Peak brightness hits 509 nits, and DisplayHDR 600 certification ensures excellent dynamic range. Whether you're colour grading video or editing RAW photos, this display has the precision professionals need.
Webcam: The 4K HDR webcam is one of the best we've tested on any monitor. It's built into a distinctive circular housing at the top that can tilt up or down by 20 degrees, helping you get the perfect angle. The camera includes AI auto-tracking to keep you centred in frame, adjustable field of view (65°, 75°, and 90°), and a physical privacy shutter that clicks into place for peace of mind. Image quality is sharp and clear, easily outperforming most laptop cameras. The dual 14W speakers beside the camera produce decent sound for video calls, though audiophiles will want dedicated speakers. Dual microphones capture voice adequately, though the sound can be slightly flat. Convenient touch buttons on the frame let you quickly hang up calls, adjust volume, or disable the camera and microphone.
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: Available for around $200 / £150, 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: If the 6K resolution of our top choice seems like overkill, the Dell Ultrasharp U3223QZ provides a still impressive 4K resolution at a more affordable price. 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 an RRP of $1,599.99. Look out for deals, though, because we've seen savings of around $300 off the recommended retail price.
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.
Read our full Dell Ultrasharp U3223QZ monitor review.
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 rrp of $849 / £790, but we've seen some good deals that bring down the cost consderably.
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: The $699 / £699 rrp of the M8 is 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: At $1,400 / £1,249, this is an expensive monitor. Still, you won't get a much better screen for your money.
Design and features: This curved ultrawide display offers 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. To learn more, read our guide to How we Test.
FAQs
What's the benefit of buying a monitor with a webcam?
The main advantage is convenience. Instead of juggling two separate devices, you get everything in one package. There's no need to plug in an extra webcam, figure out where to clip or mount it, or clutter your desk with additional hardware. You simply connect the monitor and you're ready for video calls.
What's the downside to buying a monitor with a webcam?
The camera is permanently fixed at the top of your monitor, which limits your filming options. If you create content or need different camera angles for specific tasks, an external webcam gives you much more flexibility to adjust positioning and framing.
What specs do I need for a webcam?
Aim for at least 1080p resolution—this provides clear, sharp video quality that makes a noticeable difference in one-on-one calls and larger meetings. While 720p works in a pinch, the difference is obvious when you're actually on screen. Built-in stereo microphones are valuable for better audio quality. If privacy matters to you, look for models with physical camera covers or pop-up designs that let you physically hide the lens when not in use.
What software can I use with a monitor with integrated webcam?
These monitors work with virtually any video conferencing platform right out of the box—Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Skype, and others. They connect via USB and are recognized instantly as standard webcams. Some manufacturers include optional software for tweaking settings, but you don't need it for basic video calls.
Are monitors with webcams secure?
Many quality monitors with webcams include physical privacy shutters that physically block the camera lens when closed. This gives you real protection against potential unauthorized access. Even if someone hacked into your system, they'd only see a black screen with the shutter closed.
Can I use the webcam on a monitor for streaming or recording?
Yes, you can use it for streaming or recording videos. However, serious content creators often prefer dedicated external cameras that offer higher resolution, better frame rates, and more control over positioning and lighting setups.
Can the webcam on a monitor be upgraded or replaced?
No, the webcam is built into the monitor permanently and cannot be swapped out or upgraded. If you need better video quality down the line, you'll need to add an external webcam—the built-in one will still work, but you'd simply choose to use the external camera instead.
