The Dell UltraSharp Webcam succeeds at delivering impressive image quality in a small form-factor. Camera feeds at lower resolutions are scaled up to match the canvas resolution without any scale filtering (e.g. Screenshots in this review are captured using OBS with a 3840x2160 60fps canvas and the software’s Screenshot Output option. Using DPM, users can opt to select 78-degree and 65-degree FOVs instead, or otherwise adjust a stepless digital zoom slider. This is a very wide angle which can allow the camera to be used at close distances. The Dell UltraSharp Webcam’s native field-of-view (FOV) is 90-degrees on the diagonal which equates to about a 22mm focal length equivalent on a full-frame camera. The screenshots showing the DPM interface are captured using the built-in window snipping tool.

This allows us to show two cameras side-by-side and capture comparisons simultaneously. Most screenshots in this review are captured using Open Broadcaster Studio ( OBS) with a 3840x2160 60fps canvas and the software’s Screenshot Output option. We will explore most of these features as we step through our image quality assessment. DPM enables the user to tweak camera settings, enable advanced features like AI Framing, and perform basic local recordings.

When the Dell UltraSharp Webcam is first connected to a computer it will prompt to auto-install the Dell Peripheral Manager (DPM) application.
