I am thinking about getting a webcam to do video calls over skype, and I dont know the first thing about them.

What are a good brands?
what features should I be looking out for?

I think I would like one with a built in mic, I dont have a headset at the moment so i need to a microphone of some kind to use skype obviously.

I am able to get discount on Philips via work, how good are their webcams?

Any suggestions welcome.
 
Imo a webcam is a webcam.

For "high end" you could have THIS one. And for cheaper you could have THIS one. Both have a microphone, both really good brands and both rather cheap. Only difference is the Logitech has a resolution of 800x600 and the Microsoft has 1280x720.
 
I have the same monitor and the Logitech certainly fits so i'm assuming the Microsoft one will aswell. Due to the thinness of the Benq it clips on at a wierd angle, kind of leaning forward. But the logitech is adjustable with angle and things like that so it works out fine. Not sure about the Microsoft but it should do the same.
