ViewSonic revealed VG56V Series Monitors w/ up to 2K resolution, Pop-up Webcams!

ViewSonic announced two monitors featuring high-resolution displays with pop-up webcams.

The two screen models

ViewSonic VG56V Series monitors launched!

We've first seen the pop-up camera concept in the smartphones like OPPO and Xiaomi but the idea was discontinued soon enough as it requires a complex mechanism and tiny machinery to operate.

The features

Meanwhile, ViewSonic used that idea to Monitors instead and even claimed they play a significant if not innovative feature for bigger screen devices.

So the new feature uses fill-light LEDs on either side which has the ability to change the color temperature while the whole docking camera can rotate by up to 5 degrees Omni-direction. This may also answer most streamers or bloggers or any webcam users' concerns about lighting and angle issue. Having a pop-up mechanism also can allow users to have privacy as they can simply put them down when not in use.

The 24-inch model

Moving forward, the monitors come in 24-inch (VG246V) w/ 1080p resolution and 27-inch w/ 2K resolution (VG2756V). While their popup cameras have 2MP and 5MP respectively.

The 27-inch model

Both also have 2-way microphones which the brand claims have "industry-leading audio focus capable of eliminating background noise" from either end of a conference link.

The two variants come with a stand that can pivot, tilt, and swivel, and a height-adjustable stand with a substantial handle there's also a 100 x 100 VESA slot if you want to mount them.

For ports, they have HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort (input only) while also both have a wide range of ports for "full connectivity" like the 1 90W USB-C connection and RJ-45 socket for gigabit Ethernet.
