I'm considering to pick up one of them. The one thing that they didn't mention is that the Dell supports Windows Hello.

Thank you very much, this is some highest quality content here! The amount of work you put into this review is simply astounding and you've got less than 400 likes so far, wtf?!

An excellent review! The Dell Ultrasharp seemed to do better in almost every category, except low-light performance & colour rendering.

I just bought the elgato facecam think it was the safest choice for webcam for all you looking. It wont have a mic but picture quality is worth the trade

[bonanzabrandon]

The contrast on the Dell was out of control lol. I use a Logitech Brio, it's years old at this point, but the picture quality is still top notch.

Great work on this review! I've been watching quite a few webcam reviews, by far the most introspective and fair comparison I've found so far, thank you. Looks like we will be making a decision to go with the Razer based on our setup. Thank you again!

Razer seemed pretty consistent across all areas except the HDR in light haha.
Razer looked like it gave a nice smooth filter throughout the tests.

Dell was pretty good throughout except with low light. The noise appears to be a tremendous difference while low light.
In the case of Software, dell seems to come out on top. I had Razor products and the software kept messing up my computer and product.

I would probably choose Dell because of the software and seemed to do better with proper lighting.

really thorough camera comparison, thanks!

Great review but I think comparing the dell using the 4k would be better then 1080 vs 1080 because you would be using the best of what the dell have. I would love to see a comparison for Dell 4k vs Elgato Facecam. Thanks!

[JonDaiello]

Great comparison. It’s interesting to see how much more light the Razer shows in low-light and high-light situations. Overall though, the Dell 4K seems like a great all-around webcam. But, I’m not sure the price is worth it?

[xPRxMEx]

Very cool vid. Would like to see the comparison with this dell and the facecam! Thanks 🙏🏼

[dobryivovk]

Thank you very much! A great review of 2 cameras, thanks)

I'm looking to upgrade My webcam from the Kiyo Pro to the Dell Ultrasharp. I was wondering if there was a way to set it to 1440p/2K at all?

[anthoniosanders]

In case of DELL Ultra 4k: I have noticed that in HDR mode the picture quality goes down in comparison with HDR off (gets more cubics and looks low quality). I hav enoticed it on video (in one part of demo) here and personally testing it. Any explanation for it. Can it be improved?

[prakashborekar]

Thank you this is really helpful. I have ordered Dell Ultrasharp :)

[h.h.]

Oh man - I was hoping with that much length, it would have offer some bokeh effect. Do you know of any webcams that provide a natural bokeh effect? I’m tired of background-blurring softwares not being able to distinguish the boundary with my shiny bald head and blurring part of my face. And I don’t wanna use a DSLR as a dedicated webcam. Suggestions?

[GoldenGo_OSe]

Just got the Dell and I really appreciate this video. I'm glad I got a Elgato lamp though.

[WanderyenErin]

Can you test them for face tracking like in vtube studio..? I'm looking fo a webcam capable of doing what an iphone can do

[JerryHickey-]

The Razor Kiyo Pro, i got it Brand New On Ebay for under 85 dollars that is including Taxes and Shipping, which i think the Shipping may have been free, the only thing i can think why i got maybe so cheap, the person didn't know what they had, i am guessing that they may have got the Razor Kiyo Pro like a Prize or may as a gift, and just wanted a little money fast i guess? I really like this webcam, it is a much better Cam then my LogiTech C510 webcam, which i have gotten a lot use from it, and i will for a time there is some video production i will be using for a little while longer, but i think the Razor Kiyo Pro, i will be using it more and more .

Thank you you helped me make a hard decision!
