Logitech Brio 100 Webcam Review: Crystal Clear Video for Under $60
Updated: Dec 18, 2023
The Logitech Brio 100 Webcam is a game-changer for those seeking high-quality video without breaking the bank. With crystal clear video quality and a price tag under $60, it effortlessly transforms your home setup into a professional-grade video conferencing hub.
The Brio 100 has a compact and sleek design that measures 31.91mm x 72.91mm x 66.64mm and weighs only 75g. It is available in three colours - Graphite, Off-White and Rose and is made of durable plastic material. The webcam can be conveniently mounted to the top of a laptop or desktop monitor thanks to the universal display clamp that comes with it. The Brio 100 also has an integrated privacy shutter that glides across the lens when not in use to provide privacy.
The Brio 100 features a 2 megapixel sensor that can capture Full HD 1080p video at 30 frames per second. It has a fixed focus lens with a 58 degree field of view. It runs on a normal USB connection and comes with a 1.5m braided USB cord. It is compatible with Windows, MacOS and ChromeOS operating systems. The webcam uses Logitech's RightLight 2 technology, which uses auto light balance to boost brightness by up to 50% compared to previous generation webcams. This ensures you are clearly visible on video calls, even in low light conditions.
While not the highest audio quality, the Brio 100 features an integrated omni-directional microphone. This microphone type is designed to pick up sound from all directions equally. Logitech specifies that the microphone is rated to pick up sound from up to 3 feet away, suggesting it can clearly capture voice from within a standard workspace setting. During our testing, the microphone captured spoken audio adequately for conference calls and video meetings. However, a little echo was detected from our recording.
Logi Options+ allows basic yet effective customisation of video and audio through a beginner-friendly interface, helping users make the most of the Brio 100's capabilities. Users can customise the white balance, brightness, contrast, saturation and sharpness setting. The software also allow for some customisation of the microphone settings, such as the recording volume level. However, it does not allow advanced controls like noise cancellation.
