Verdict

The Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 takes very clear photos and videos, which makes the camera perfect for streaming on Twitch or Skyping with someone dialing into an important business conference. Forget your grainy picture and lacking detail laptop’s integrated webcam, Logitech HD Pro Webcam C920 is an outstanding replacement and will definitely wash away all your frustrations!

Design

3.7 inches wide, black and chunky device attached to your laptop (or monitor) with no doubt looks pretty cool. It houses a 1080p camera flanked on both sides by microphones and LEDs. The mounting of C920 is quite simple - there’s an arm that hugs the lid of your laptop (or the back of your monitor), a rubber foot to hold the device in place and a hinge to adjust the arm’s length.

Picture and Sound Quality

The 5-megapixel (5168 x 2907) camera's clarity and detail accuracy of the C920 is simply amazing! It allows to video-chat at 1080p producing crystal-clear videos and the 78-degree field of view is more than enough to fit a second person into the frame.

Software

The C920 is compatible with Logitech’s Webcam Software for Windows, but, unfortunately, doesn’t offer this program to operating systems such as Chrome OS, Android or Mac OS X. The app lets users pan left and right with the camera, as well as zoom in and out. There are a number of avatars and backgrounds the software features for some extra fun. Also, the C920 has an option to use it as a security cam thanks to the motion-detection mode.
