Great cheap camera!

Quality camera at an affordable price. I noticed that it offers very good quality and to be honest it's perfect for the price they charge. YEARS even used for Twitch.tv streaming.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Some flaws

Face too white, good for computer accessories and peripherals

I have a dark background so my face is blurry. This is only meant to work for TVs and is no longer supported. I took a chance on this working on a Win10 PC and it works. I was also able to download the camera settings app but couldn't improve the blur on my face. The rest seems ok

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled

Don't let the name and brand fool you

While searching for the webcam I saw some interesting claims about this camera. basically that it won't work. Fortunately, this is not the case at all. It is exactly the same as any other webcam. It is not tied to a service that no longer exists. I hooked it up to a Windows 7 machine, installed the latest drivers from Logitech (as always, beware of packaged junk!), and that was it. As you'd expect, it works with Skype, Google Hangouts, and other apps.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Boring packaging

Oh god, I didn't expect that!

Wow I didn't expect this webcam to be that good! I decided to order it to see if it would work on my Windows 8 Acer desktop and voila. I just plugged it into my USB port and went to the chat site and it automatically turned on and I was able to stream crystal clear! I didn't even go to the Logitech website to download the driver/software. This is a huge deal. I heard bright light and this camera did a good job of adjusting the white balance. The blue shirt I had in the background looked reallyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Big and chunky

This is a TV camera that works great as a webcam.

I used a Logi C920 and apart from being a 720p camera this is the same camera for $9. You must get this camera before I buy the rest. It's plug and play with Windows 8. I did a YouTube live stream to try it out and it worked great. no halo. I'm using Movavi Screen Capture Studio 10 for capturing. There are settings to turn off auto focus, auto brightness and everything else. I brought a few other cheap cameras to test on my YouTube channel and they don't come close to this camera. This chamberโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Exorbitant price

Works with my Panasonic HDTV

Some reviewers disagree on whether this camera will work with anything other than the Logitech Revue. I can confirm what others have said it will work fine with a Panasonic plasma from around 2012. The Viera software version for Skype is fully compatible. I encountered an error during the initial setup. Tried skype test call and heard no sound. I called my daughter-in-law, there is video but there is no sound. She in turn informed me about excellent sound and picture. As it turned out, I hadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • Reliable

The title speaks for itself. This is a Logitech TV Cam or as stated here HDTV Widescreen Camcorder WITHOUT built-in Skype software originally intended for the Logitech Revue. I unpacked the webcam, plugged it straight into the USB port of my 2012 Panasonic TC-L47ET5, pressed the Internet button on the remote, selected the Skype app from my TV menu, logged in and was immediately able to host Skype. Video call on my wife's Windows laptop. Sound and video were perfect. At fifty dollars, that's aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Unreliable
