Most monitors don’t come with a built-in webcam, requiring remote workers to buy an external webcam . Companies like HP and Lenovo have already launched their own webcam monitors for videoconferencing, and now Samsung is joining in on the fun with its Webcam Monitor S4.
The Samsung Webcam Monitor S4 boasts a 24-inch FHD display and includes features that will help facilitate videoconferencing calls, including a built-in 2-megapixel webcam, speakers, and a microphone.
And to help protect your privacy when you’re not in a call, Samsung says the pop-up webcam can be stowed in the monitor with a simple push of a button. In addition to housing a 2-megapixel camera for video chats, the webcam module also comes with an infrared camera, which can be used to log into Windows without the need to type in a password for Windows Hello. Samsung claims that logging into Windows using Windows Hello can happen in as little as two seconds with the IR camera.
The screen reaches up to 250 nits of brightness, and it comes with a 178-degree wide viewing angle. Given that this monitor is designed for productivity, rather than gaming, the refresh rate tops out at 75Hz. And even though the panel was not designed for gaming, it does support AMD FreeSync tech.
The monitor also comes with a built-in USB hub with two USB 3.0 ports, and connectivity to your laptop or desktop is handled through either the HDMI or DisplayPort on the rear. The panel can handle audio input as well as audio output through the appropriate audio jack. The monitor comes equipped with dual 2-watt speakers.
The Webcam Monitor comes with an adjustable stand for ergonomic control, and the screen can even be rotated into portrait orientation, which makes it great for reading and working on code.
Even though this monitor is marketed to those who need to handle video calls often at home or in the office, it isn’t a fully stand-alone product like Google’s recently announced Series One Desk 27 model. With the Samsung Webcam Monitor S4, you’ll still need to connect a PC to the display to make calls, whereas the Google Series One can handle Google Meet and WebEx calls without requiring a computer to be connected to it.
In recent years, with the changing dynamics of work, and with PC form factors evolving, Samsung has been experimenting with new features for its displays. The Samsung Webcam Monitor S4 joins Samsung’s lineup of monitors, which includes gaming monitors, as well as the company’s Smart Monitor lineup, the latter of which support wireless casting to work with smartphones and tablets.
The Samsung Webcam Monitor S4 is available now through the company’s website for $319.
Did you think hitting delete on your AI chatbot conversation actually makes it disappear? Georgia Tech researchers just proved that's not entirely true. They have built a forensic tool called ORISA that can dig deleted conversations from your phone and even rebuild them into a working chatbot session you can keep talking to.
How can ORISA bring deleted AI conversations back?
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Two residents of Chicago have filed a lawsuit in the US over claims that robots run by Coco Robotics and Serve Robotics captured their facial and hand measurements without consent, bringing renewed attention to the food delivery robots. The cases raise a troubling question: If a robot delivers food to your door, can it also be gathering sensitive information about you?
According to a report by The Associated Press, the proposed class-action lawsuits were filed in Cook County on Oct. 9 and allege violations of Illinois’ Biometric Information Privacy Act. The complaints claim that the robots’ cameras and LiDAR sensors captured information on customers’ faces and hands as they approached the machines to pick up their orders. Both have denied the allegations.
