This is a very versatile portable smart TV that can be helpful and fun to have around your home.
It came packed safely and undamaged. Installation was pretty simple, kind of like putting together a standing lamp. At the base is the battery and you just need to run the power cable up through the center of the pieces of the pole so that the screen can be plugged into a port closer to the top.
Once it’s assembled, the software setup was very fast - just enter your wifi information and it boots up to the home screen. There are plenty of media apps preinstalled, but it also comes with the Google Play Store so that you can download any Android apps you want.
The screen is clear, rotates between portrait and landscape mode, and can get very bright. The built-in speakers can get decently loud, very suitable for watching some short videos and shows, but they lack punchy bass so they’re not as suitable for music or cinematic movies. There’s also an included USB webcam, which can be placed on top of the screen in either orientation and can be used for video conferencing or recording videos.
Once I installed all my apps and got familiar with the portable TV, I found myself using it pretty frequently in several places. When our family is having a bite at the table, we can pull up the portable TV and put on a show to keep us entertained in the background. When we’re using the kitchen, it’s very convenient to pull up recipes, especially since a lot are now short videos shot in portrait, we can maximize the screen real estate by rotating it. I also found it very helpful in our home gym. When trying to learn some new exercises or working on improving my form, I can reference instructional videos on the portable TV while doing the exercises on the machine. Wheeling the TV from room to room is easy because the wheels roll well and the weight of the screen is balanced by the batteries in the base.
Since this is essentially a 32” Android tablet, you can also play games, either right on the touchscreen or by connecting a bluetooth controller. While it’s pretty fun to play some mobile games on the big screen, the chip in here isn’t going to be able to run the most advanced games at the highest settings. But for some more casual, less demanding games, it’s a decent experience.
Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with this portable TV. I think that it may surprise you with how many different ways you can use it throughout your home. It doesn’t do anything in particular that can’t be done with a smartphone or tablet, but there are a lot of times where it’s just more convenient to have a larger screen and your hands free. If that’s valuable to you, then this portable TV is for you.
