ViewSonic just dropped its new VG41V monitors, packing infrared cameras for video calls and facial recognition—pretty handy for hybrid work setups. But here’s the catch: they’re powered by USB-C, which might not deliver enough juice for some users, and they skip 4K resolution entirely. A solid swing at productivity tech, but with a few frustrating trade-offs.

Editor’s Note: Monitors with built-in cameras are a smart move as remote work sticks around, but skimping on power delivery and resolution feels like a missed opportunity. For professionals who need crisp visuals and reliable performance, these might not hit the mark—especially when competitors are pushing sharper, more versatile displays. It’s a reminder that even cool features can’t outweigh basic specs.
