DellTechnologies has unveiled a new range of video conferencing-centricbusiness monitors, built with the needs of remote workers front of mind.
The new monitors - available in 24-inch, 27-inch and curved 34-inch form factors - boast a pop-up 5MP webcam (allowing for face ID sign-in), integrated speakers and a noise-cancelling microphone.

With the coronavirus pandemic proving harder to shake than anyone might have imagined a year ago, it appears remote and hybrid working will continue to be the norm for the foreseeable - and that means more video conferencing.
In 2020, competition in the video conferencing market became more ferocious than ever, with services such asZoom,Teams,Meet,Webexetc. fighting for supremacy. These providers went to great lengths to attract new users and keep pace with new features rolled out by other major players.
Perhaps partnerships between hardware manufacturers and software providers, as with the new Dell-Teams collaboration, will become the next chapter in this ongoing battle.
“As more companies embrace a hybrid work model, it is critical to invest in technology that can help employees better collaborate no matter what role they are in,” wrote Dell in ablog post.
