Best Video Conferencing Monitors of 2026

Dell's P2418HZm asks the same money as our top pick and makes its case somewhere else entirely: in the meeting rather than on the desk. The camera, microphone, and speakers are built into the frame, the screen is a 24-inch 1080p panel, and there is no separate webcam to clip on or pair. You sit down, open the app, and you are in the room.

The panel is where this one separates itself, for better and worse. It is glossy with a 2000:1 contrast ratio, so blacks sit deeper and color comes out richer than on the matte screens here, and any window, desk lamp, or overhead light behind you turns into a bright rectangle in the glass. Point it away from the light and keep the room dim and it looks great. In a bright, unshaded office, the matte ASUS or CUNPU will be the easier screen to live with, and we would swap rather than fight the reflections.

Around back there is HDMI, VGA, and a single USB port on a 12.2-pound body that takes a VESA mount. At 60Hz with a 6ms response it is a work monitor in the plainest sense — nothing here is fast, and nothing needs to be for a spreadsheet and a video window. What stands out is the three-year warranty with advance exchange, more coverage than anything else on this page and the reason this stays in the roundup for a desk that cannot go dark on a Monday.

Pop-up cameras are the feature to hold out for in this category, and the CUNPU is the least expensive way here to get one: a 5MP lens that rises out of the top of the frame for calls and retracts out of sight afterward. Nothing gets clipped over the bezel and nothing has to be unplugged for privacy. The stand is the other surprise — 5.31 inches of height, 35 degrees of swivel each way, 90 degrees of pivot for portrait work, and tilt, which is a full ergonomic stand on the cheapest monitor in this roundup.

Read the listing carefully before ordering. It mentions 2K and 1440p in places; the panel inside is 1920 x 1080, so buy it expecting a good 1080p picture rather than a sharper one. What you do get beyond the basics is 120Hz over HDMI, and at this price that is the real bonus — dragging a window or scrolling a long document is visibly smoother than on the 60Hz Dell, even though it does nothing at all for the call itself.

One practical note before the return window closes: check the panel for discolored patches and dead pixels. A failing panel is the fault to watch for on these, and swapping through the retailer is faster than any service claim. Otherwise this is a compact matte 24-inch workstation that does the conferencing job and then gets out of the way, which is more than the price suggests.

The speakers on ASUS's BE24EQK are the reason it sits below our top picks. They are stereo, they are built in, and they mount at the back of the cabinet and run quiet, so a call on them alone means leaning in and asking people to repeat themselves. Plan on a headset and the rest of this monitor makes a great deal more sense.

What the money buys is a genuinely good 23.8-inch IPS panel: matte finish, 300 nits, 178-degree viewing angles, a frameless three-sided bezel, and flicker-free, low-blue-light treatment for long days. Video, documents, and spreadsheets all look right on it, and the matte surface shrugs off the window behind your desk in a way the glossy Dell cannot.

The camera is a 2MP unit on an adjustable arm, and the mic array uses beamforming with echo cancellation to push keyboard clatter out of the mix. One detail worth knowing before you buy: the camera travels over its own USB cable, separate from HDMI or DisplayPort, so it needs a free USB port on the computer or dock. If it never appears in your meeting app, that cable and the app's camera permission are the first two things to check.

ASUS covers it with a three-year manufacturer warranty, which is more than the CUNPU or the SKitphrati offer. It is also one of the least expensive monitors here, and it earns its place on the panel and the warranty rather than on the conference hardware bolted to the top.

Twenty-seven inches is the whole argument here. Most conferencing monitors at this price stop at 24, and the extra diagonal makes a real difference when you are juggling a call window, a document, and a chat pane at once — you stop shuffling windows and start leaving them where they are.

The catch is the panel. It is 1920 x 1080 stretched across 27 inches, which spreads the pixels thinner and softens small text compared with a 24-inch 1080p screen like the ASUS. Sitting a little further back helps, and video calls look perfectly fine; it is spreadsheets and long emails where you notice. The IPS panel with its 120Hz refresh and 178-degree viewing angles is genuinely pleasant for everything else, and the matte finish keeps a bright room from washing it out.

The camera is a 3MP unit fixed high on the top bezel with no tilt, so the only way to change your angle is to move the monitor's height, and with a basic desk stand that is not much of an adjustment. We would put it on a VESA arm if framing matters. Do a test recording before your first big meeting, too: the built-in microphone is the part of this monitor most likely to let you down, and a muffled outgoing voice is the kind of thing nobody mentions until the debrief.

It arrives with an HDMI cable, a USB cable for the camera, and a two-year manufacturer warranty, and at 5.49 kg (about 12 pounds) it is easy enough for one person to set up. For a secondary desk where the screen is the point and the calls are occasional, that adds up to a lot of workspace for the money.
