What's the market overlap between people who want a 4k webcam and people who are going to be happy with a monitor integrated one?

It just seems to be that most of the market would prefer a separate one for positioning, specifications, outputs, maybe internal storage, etc.

Sounds like something the developers thought there'd be demand for during covid, but it took too long.

There are a huge number of people who chase "latest and greatest" specs with their gadgets, despite a poor understanding of technology, itself.

This is for the person who buys the new iPhone with each cycle and always takes their Tesla key out of their pocket so that you can see it.

The specs are great though. I have two P2415Qs that have "retina" PPI and any monitor with lesser PPI you look at after using one looks pixelated and outdated. That webcam is atrocious though.

Mostly sounds like an all-in-one computer design that you can change out the computer part of. The main cited reason why the all-in-one computer design failed is to change out one part you had to change out it all as everything was to integrated with each other.

Mount your workstation to the back of it and you can have a wire free desk so you can use said space for other work stuff. For example a physical note book to jut down notes about the tasks you are doing that you might need later. Days, weeks or even months later having them on a physical paper is better. Depending on the job it could be good for the main monitor for a business conference room to connect to a remote business conference room.

For the end consumer uses i cannot think of any that have a 32-inch 6k monitor with a USB 4 input hub for 4 USB 3 ports then with the webcam separate from it would not be better.

AIOs are the go-to form factor for enterprise workstations. I buy a few hundred per PO for deployment and I know that I'm not Dell's biggest client that does this, by a long shot. Dell especially has perfected the art of making them modular (to an extent) and serviceable (completely) to guarantee uptime. They also come with the benefit with not having to buy specific attachments from furniture and office system OEM's to accommodate the separate box. They can also act as a docking head in a pinch without any excess equipment acquisition due to the proliferation of USB C.

AIO's have their place to be sure, but they failed in the consumer sector. The only real example left standing is the iMac.
