Very impressed with the image quality (apart from the banding issues) and especially impressed with the audio quality. I think this product is one to wait and see how the firmware updates fix things. Its expensive but if they fix the banding I think its one you could buy and get many many years out of it.
I bought the C920 about 12 years ago for $70 on sale marked down from $99 SRP. I'm disappointed, and a little surprised, that they still haven't managed a 4K camera in the sub $100 price point after all these years.
The one issue I have with this webcam/camera (I just bought it myself), is that it currently doesn’t support Windows Hello. The previous generation of top of the line Logitech cameras had this and I don’t see authentication technologies going away, workplace or home.
Very good review. Im considering this camera for recording music video. The video quality is impressive. Its twice the cost of the other Brio models so Im wondering if it's worth it...
Hi! I have a question about the microphones in the MX Brio webcam. I am testing a webcam and noticed that when recording audio from a microphone, the sound of the right and left microphones is different. Are these stereo microphones or something else? Because the left one sounds bright, and the right one sounds very deep.
When you are using show mode, is there a fisheye effect? You showed using it but it was tilted at a significant angle so I'm not sure. I film art tutorials and I tried an older version of the brio and couldn't seem to get rid of the fisheye.
Not a fan of all that aggressive post processing but its good you can turn the auto exposure, low light and hdr off. For a more accurate image. Although a older DSLR and cheap HDMI to USB capture card will give you superior video quality and the ability to use different lenses.
The banding is a deal breaker for me. Obviously It might not affect everyone in every situation, but I'm not going to spend that much money on it if there's a chance it will look as bad as that. It's a shame, because as you say, the overall image quality and features are great.
Elgato's new Facecam MK2 absolutely crushes this for $50 cheaper. Sure it doesn't do 4K, but the picture quality still outweighs these middling Logitech cams.
Forget Logitech. When I "upgraded" my computer to Win11 my Logitech camera was no longer recognized by Windows. Tried everything to get it going, no go. They're stuff is generally cheaply made and is worn out just after the warranty date.
To be honest, it's nothing special in these days! Logitech had really the best Webcams many years ago but nowadays they are just too expensive for being just average...
I have seen a webcam review after almost 7 years! I use my smartphone as an HD/4k webcam with the Iriun Webcam app. Why waste tons of money on something that dies in low light?!
I bought this camera a couple days ago and I'm thinking of returning it because it didn't come with new updated "Logi Capture" type software to record with. Logi Capture is no longer being supported, and it doesn't recognize this camera. I detest OBS with a passion, and am having trouble finding a reason to keep a $200 camera that didn't come with actual recording software that works with it. Any thoughts? I tried recording with "Windows Camera" and it looked like crap. The Brio MX looked good when I recorded a standalone video using Streamyard, but I prefer to use Streamyard for its intended purpose of livestreaming, not recording videos for youTube.
There's probably business people who make a ridiculous amount of money who would pay double that for a really high quality webcam without thinking twice about it

Lon, Thank you for posting.

That's a shame. For those where Hello is needed more than 4k I'd go for the Lenovo performance FHD, often goes on sale for less than $50.
👆🏻 yep! No windows hello is a deal breaker.
That's really impressive how it deals with the backlighting.
Keep up the great work

Does the MX Brio Ultra HD web camera support 720p 90fps?
Zoom calls from toilet confirmed.
Never talk about you’d doodie machine on lonBALLS product.
Is it Windows Hello? I accidentally heard it also works with their Dating App hahaha Great Work Lon!
It does not currently have windows hello Compatibility
"I dont have to put on a mic..." *wears a mic* :P - i know this was just in case. Thanks for this video, Happy with this extensive review.
Outdoors was great

I think the image quality looked better and not overblown when you turned HDR off.
If i wanted to get an extension type c cable for the MX Brio, What specifications do I need to know?
Did they fix the banding issue already?
Nice & Thanks Sir :)
Lon, any plans to review the new Elgato Facecam Mk 2? Or the Facecam Pro Mk 2, when that inevitably comes out?
I’ll probably take a look if I can get a review unit. There’s a bigger market for the Logitech camera so this review will be more viable.

Any hope for Linux compatibility? (Software that takes advantage of all the features. )
Can this be used in tv?

It’s really disappointing .. I was on a call with it yesterday and it was visible there too. Hopefully the firmware rectifies it.

It also doesn’t have a microphone
@@LonSeidman who cares, nobody wants a mic on the webcam. It's not 2010 anymore.

Can this be used with Windows Hello?
Nope they removed that.

Apparently Windows 11 will have the ability to use an Android phone as a webcam similar to how an iPhone can be used as a webcam for the Mac.
GT media USB next gen TV mate receiver has applied for a license for DRM encryption. If You can find more information on this.
USB will be obsolete in 89 years.

Have you tried vmix ? That’s what I use for production it’s great but a bit pricey.
@@LonSeidman Thank you! I will look into it.
@@CookbookDivasShops I did a piece on it here: th-cam.com/video/QHVGhvwuEYg/w-d-xo.html
So it works good with streamyard amd streaming? Do you need any software to stream? Also the Logitech software is needed to do the adjustments?
200$ is too expensive for a webcam
There's probably business people who make a ridiculous amount of money who would pay double that for a really high quality webcam without thinking twice about it
Wrong. Not if you need it for your dog to meet dogs online.
@@ThatsPety Except this isn't a super high end camera... 😂
@geogmz8277 yeah I'm not trying to defend this camera in particular 😂 just speaking in general
@@ThatsPety 196 is a good price.
For the $200 some odd bucks they're asking, that banding is really bad.
These "Premium" webcams are often disappointing.
This cam is crap. I use a dongle on my Mac laptop, and they require you to use the port on your laptop, I use a dongle to support a larger monitor.
Mets fans can’t afford this is they bet all their money on a 24 ws win.
