Our take on the Sony CMU-BR100

Simply connect the CMU-BR100 camera/microphone unit to your compatible Sony HDTV and start making Skype™ voice and video calls. You can make and receive free Skype-to-Skype voice and video calls, as well as low-cost SkypeOut calls to regular telephone numbers — all from the comfort of your couch. You can even make calls while you're watching TV.

You'll be impressed by the crisp, clear HD picture — it's 720p resolution. And four integrated unidirectional microphones capture lifelike sound. The CMU-BR100 plugs into your TV's USB connection — it's a cinch to set up and use.

This unit also matches the look of your new Sony TV. You can attach it directly to the TV using the supplied Velcro fastener, or use it free-standing. The CMU-BR100's tilt and swivel capability mean you won't be chained to your chair every time you make a call. Works with 2011 and newer TV models. Dimensions: 7-3/8"W x 1-3/8"H x 1-7/8"D. Warranty: 1 year.
