Best monitors with built-in webcams: Top picks for integrated video conferencing

Look no further than this ASUS monitor for a fully HD experience at a great price point. This monitor has all of the features you'll need to work from home in comfort: a full HD IPS display, a privacy shutter on the incorporated HD webcam and a great set of mics and speakers. ASUS even added a "Zoom Certified" label, so you know you'll get seamless, high-quality communication through this all-in-one setup (and across all major video-conferencing applications). But the great features don't stop at hardware.

The monitor has a lot of smart little surprises inside. Not only is the tilt and swivel adjustable so you can show your good side on conference calls, but it also has auto-adjustment for exposure, ensuring you can always be seen clearly, even if the light in the room isn't ideal.

Speaking of ideal video call conditions, you'll never have to worry about shouting over the office noise or the awkward noises from kids or spouses in the background thanks to the AI noise-cancelling mic. It may sound a little robotic, but you'll still be able to make your voice heard above all the noise.

Some concessions make this mostly suited to the work-from-home crowd. Its 60Hz refresh rate and lack of HDR support are a little disappointing, but these are the right places to cut back to ensure the existing features can be high-quality. If you're looking for a great all-in-one monitor set-up that won't break the bank, then you've found it.

You can find ViewSonic monitors in many office spaces worldwide, and for good reason. For a reliable and affordable workstation, they have you covered, especially with this option. The cheapest monitor on our list, they keep the features you need but might miss out on some of the ones you want.

The incorporated webcam comes with HD picture and a privacy shutter, but barely any options to adjust the camera's angle. Though the incorporated stand is great for ergonomics and adjustability, the lack of opportunities for camera adjustment is something to look out for when purchasing. The integrated speakers may be a little on the weak side but will be plenty enough for calling clients, which you can do pretty much out of the box here. The easy setup means you can get back to working on your next project as soon as the monitor arrives, with no hassle with wires or drivers.

There are always concessions in budget options to get the price low, but it looks like ViewSonic made the right cuts in the right places. Though there are some issues with camera movability, as long as you don't mind moving your display at the same time that solves the problem.

The Dell UltraSharp promises an amazing picture while you discuss your next big project. With the best screen on the list, it's no wonder it comes with the heaviest price tag, but don't let that put you off just yet. Dell made sure all the components used were top-spec, including the webcam.

Never worry again about fuzzy focus or lacklustre lighting; the integrated HDR 4K webcam is sure to capture every detail you need. It also comes equipped with AI Auto-Framing to ensure your best angle is always captured, no matter what position you might be in.

The screen you'll be seeing other people on is 4K quality, has a fantastic colour gamut range, 400 nits of brightness, and a whopping 32-inch screen size. There is nothing this monitor can't handle. The integrated USB hub at the back offers great connection options so that you can make the most of the display with high-quality port options.

The included speakers are 14W power, promising clear and powerful audio, saving cable tangles again and keeping your desk as clean as you want it.

The only downside is the price – it can be out of many people's budget, but if you sit in front of a screen for work all day, it's worth the investment.

The ThinkVision lineup is always reliable, and this is no different. With the most ergonomic design of all the monitors here and at a great price, this monitor will make those long meetings easier on your back.

Combining Lenovo's technical ability with the rigidity and reliability of its Think series of products makes this monitor a great all-rounder with some extra features you wouldn't think of. The T24v-30 has a great, slim, yet sturdy ergonomic stand to save getting a different stand. Whilst on or off meetings (thanks to the included privacy shutter), you can position the stand to whatever orientation is most comfortable and crack on with your day, work or play.

There are some questionable design choices, the chin of the monitor is very large when the speakers are unfortunately not that powerful. It's taking up space that maybe could have gone to making the screen a little bigger. Though for the great port selection, great quality mic and camera, these are the right concessions to be made.

This curved monitor from Philips is a great addition. It has a big screen and big specs to boot. The 34-inch curved screen offers a 100Hz refresh rate, a high contrast ratio, a whopping 500 nits of brightness, and HDR support. This offers everything you'd expect and more from a monitor at this price point.

Along with the high-spec screen, you'll have high-spec visuals from your FHD camera, meaning communication goes both ways with this monitor. The ultra-wide design is well-suited for ergonomics and long-term viewing. Still, coupled with their adaptive sync, flicker-free and low blue light technology on the screen, it will always guarantee a comfortable viewing experience.

Though the VA display offers better contrast, IPS panel types are still regarded as the best option, so it's a little disappointing to see Philips go for the lesser option, but the average user won't notice too much of a difference. Despite the questionable panel decision, the overall features coupled with affordable price make this a real competitor to the other options on this list.

Apple is known for their great design and tech prowess, so this list would be incomplete without input from the tech giants. The Studio Display is well suited for more than just video conferencing. The Atmos array on offer here will help if you're looking for great speakers. Or if you're a photo editor and need accurate colour, it comes ready with true tone colour accuracy. The display works well with existing Apple products, providing quick connection and easy access to menu settings. If you're not an Apple user, it may be a bit fiddly to work out; for those already in with Apple, this will serve you better than a standard monitor.

The screen isn't the only thing to shout about. The webcam is a sparkling 4K, and there is a high-quality microphone to ensure you are seen and heard when you're on a busy conference call. There's plenty to love about this monitor, but we haven't discussed ergonomics yet.

There are a few mounting solutions, either VESA or the included height-adjustable stand, the latter of which is very disappointing for the price. Despite the fantastic (and partially recycled) design, the aluminium-bodied stand leaves much to be desired.

Considering the stand issues and the price, it is a great prosumer-level monitor to take your Apple set-up to the next level truly.

This brings a little bit of both to the monitor list, a great option whether you're on or off the clock. The "Smart Monitor" boasts the best of both worlds, combining the best features of a smart TV in the more compact and work-friendly package of a monitor. Equipped with Bluetooth, WiFi and Apple Airplay, connecting and browsing on your monitor has the same feel as a smart TV. Native streaming apps are included with the monitor, meaning you won't have to always have a computer on to watch on the display, allowing for a more clutter-free workspace.

There are great connectivity options with a wide range of ports as well as a remote for the laid-back TV experience. This is an interesting combination, and it's surprising that more of these "smart monitors" aren't on the market. With a 4K screen, beefy speakers and well-designed ergonomics, it has all of the features you'd want from a monitor at this price point. However, with these combined bonuses, there are a few drawbacks.

While the detachable webcam is a great feature, some report video quality to be a bit iffy. In addition, since most smart TVs don't come with a DisplayPort option, this one is also lacking the port. The VA panel, whilst suited for good contrast, is lacklustre in the colour department. The next model, the ViewFinity S9, does improve on these drawbacks, though the price is a bit higher. There are concessions to make, but if you live in a small apartment and don't have room for a TV and monitor, this bridges the gap in a great way.
