Logitech Brio Webcam vs Nexigo N940

Logitech introduces Logitech Brio – a business class video conference webcam with 4K resolution at frame rate up to 60fps and digital zoom feature. One of competing product is Nexigo n940 2k with lower price. How do these two products compare?

Logitech Brio

If your business needs require reliable video communication for employees working from home in this pandemic era, Logitech Brio is one of the best webcams for zoom or any other video conference application that provides sharp, bright, clear and responsive image and clear sound quality that you can rely on.

4k resolution

Most of the webcams available on the market so far are webcams with 1080p resolution or lower 720p and with a frame rate of 30 fps. Logitech Brio comes with 4k resolution certainly provides 4 times more detailed image quality than a webcam with 1080p resolution, even less when compared to a webcam with 720p resolution.

And some webcam models have started to raise their level by releasing products with higher resolutions such as the Nexigo n940 which is designed with 2k resolution, twice as high resolution as standard 1080p webcams. N940 can go with 2k @30 fps, or 1080p @60 fps.

5x HD Zoom

Sometimes you need to zoom in the camera towards the document for more detail image, and Brio allows you to zoom in up to 5x digital zoom. Most webcams are not equipped with a zoom feature which makes it difficult for us to show detailed zoom documents within a video call.

You can compare it with Nexigo n940 which features a zoom button with 3 zoom modes, 1x, 2x or 3x zoom by touching the zoom button on the left side of the lens. And the zoom feature caps the webcam resolution to only up to 1080p, not 2k. You can raise the zoom up to 2k resolution only by software such as offered by OBS that manipulates the image resolution.  

RightLight 3 technology

Light is a major factor in getting bright and clear image quality from a webcam or any type of camera in general. For this reason, the camera cannot provide images with clear and bright image quality if the surrounding light is not sufficient.

Logitech Brio is designed with Rightlight 3 technology and HDR, the latest Righlight technology applied to Logitech webcams to challenge the available light condition to provide balanced image even though the light condition is too low or too bright, Brio will focus to your face.

Other features are general like other webcams including stereo dual microphone with voice cancellation, privacy cover etc.
