Making conference calls on All-In-One PCs and laptops is convenient since these types of computers already have built-in webcams. For a desktop PC though, you need to purchase a standalone webcam. Monitors with a built-in webcam are not common, let alone one that is both Zoom Certified and Windows Hello certified. The ViewSonic VG57V Series Docking Monitors you see here are exactly that and then some.
Whether or not the monitor’s webcam is built-in or standalone, most – if not all – remain an eyesore. Well, not the ViewSonic VG57V Series Docking Monitors. They have a pop-up webcam that only appears when you need it. The VG57V series monitors boast Zoom Certified and Windows Hello-certified 5MP pop-up webcam with adjustable LED lighting to boot.
It further touts front-facing 5W speakers as well as integrated microphones to support clear communication. The Windows Hello-certified IR camera offers convenient facial recognition for a secure, password-free, single-user sign-on. With a pop-up webcam built into it, you have one less thing to own and that’s not to mention one less cable to deal with.
Thanks to the multiple connectivity options, the monitors also serve as USB docking stations too. Connectivity options include RJ45; HDMI 1.4; DisplayPort in & out; USB Types A/C; USB-A hub connects to various peripherals; USB-C provides up to 90W power delivery to a laptop, and Audio-Out.
The ViewSonic VG57V Series Docking Monitors are offered in two sizes: 27- and 24-inches. The two models are identical with the exceptions for the display size, and the resolution.
The 27-inch offers native QHD (2,560 x 1,440) resolution while the 24-inch model offers native FHD resolution. The availability of the ViewSonic VG57V Series Docking Monitors varies from region to region.
