I bought this even though I saw a lot of people complaining about getting the WebCam working. I am happy I did. As part of the install, you must attach the included USB cable to the monitor. This will allow the WebCam to be recognised by the PC. In XP, the WebCam worked just fine without installing any additional software. I decided to try the ASUS software anyhow, and it includes a bunch of nice extras (special effects, overlays, etc...) I am positive that all of the negative reviews regarding the camera had to do with not attaching the USB cable.
The monitor itself is great. Now we play Lego Star Wars II at 1920x1080.
Update 12-2010:
After upgrading to Windows 7 Professional, I downloaded a new version of the software and it did not want to work anymore. I was receiving the same error that told me it is only for a LapTop.
Luckily, I had an older copy and once I installed that, it worked.
