Logitech's MX Brio is a new $199.99 (£219.99 / €229) 4K webcam aimed at everyone from remote workers to streamers. Key specs include the ability to stream in 4K at 30fps or 1080p at 60fps, an f/2.0 aperture, and an aluminum unibody design that looks like a kazoo if you squint.
It's 2024, so Logitech is naturally touting its AI-powered technology with the MX Brio. Your webcam's “face-based image enhancement” is designed to automatically detect the position of your face within your webcam's frame and adjust the image's white balance, exposure, and focus accordingly. But there have also been hardware improvements, with the company touting the new webcam's 8.5-megapixel sensor as having 70 percent larger pixels than Logitech's previous flagship Brio 4K webcam.
Other features include a physical privacy shutter and a “display mode” that automatically reorients the view from your webcam to properly display your desk when the title is lowered. The webcam also has a beamforming microphone to focus on your voice during calls, and uses a detachable USB-C cable to connect to your computer. However, unlike its previous flagship Brio, it doesn't support Windows Hello facial recognition, nor can it record at 4K/60fps like Elgato's competitor, the $299.99 Facecam Pro.
If you prefer to take matters into your own hands, manual image controls are also available via Logitech's Options Plus or G Hub software. Webcam field of view, exposure, shutter speed, ISO, color temperature, contrast, saturation, and sharpness. You can also access MX Brio's auto-framing feature through the Logi Tune software.
Logitech's new MX Brio webcam is available starting today and joins Logitech's MX mice and keyboards. In the meantime, the company has built a large collection of his MX brands.
