The Brio 500 sits between the budget C920s and Logitech's 4K models. It stays at Full HD 1080p but adds AI-based face image correction and RightLight 4, Logitech's newer light correction, which the company says keeps you looking well lit in poor lighting. RightSight 4 auto-framing centers the image on you so you can stand or move a little without leaving the frame, though it needs the Logi Tune app, which is not available on ChromeOS. Show Mode lets you tilt the camera to share what is on your desk, a feature it shares with the MX Brio. Noise-reducing mics filter background sound so you can skip a headset in a quiet room. It is a good fit for office calls, but the 1080p ceiling and price close to the Brio 4K make it less compelling for streamers or anyone who wants the sharpest image.
Who it is for
Remote workers who want auto-framing and better light correction than the C920s without paying for 4K.
Price
$129.99 at Logitech's US store when checked.
Show Mode $129.99 Color Graphite In stock
