After the invention of smartphones, many tech gadgets started to fade away. Among those, webcams are certainly one that we’ve started to use less often.

That may be the reason why webcams are what we hear the least about lately. But Logitech’s newest webcam, the Brio Pro, has heated the tech industry again. Since it’s the World’s first 4K and HDR webcam one can have, it’s worldwide addresses can be considered obvious.

Logitech Brio 4k Pro Webcam

The Brio shoots videos in Ultra HD (UHD) resolution (4096 x 2160) at 30 fps, or in 1080p at 60 fps. When it comes to a webcam, they are the ones we use inside a room. In regular conditions, rooms are mostly under-lit. But if you own this webcam, lighting conditions are something you shouldn’t ever worry about. This webcam works on the Logitech’s RightLight 3 technology that gives good results even in low-light. Plus it’s the HDR webcam after all. So, the results are gonna be mind-blowingly good.
