Overview
Not a TV with a tuner, this is a monitor that also runs streaming apps, so it can serve as a work screen and an entertainment screen. It adds built-in speakers, Bluetooth and a remote control.
A single screen that covers office software, remote access to another PC and streaming apps is the reason to buy. The limits are a Full HD panel with modest brightness, plus features that need subscriptions or specific phones.
Who it's for
Remote workers and students who want streaming apps, speakers and a remote on the same screen they work on are the target. Gamers and creative professionals who need fast response or a wider color range should look at a dedicated monitor.
Pros and cons
- Streaming apps built in
- Remote control included
- Built-in stereo speakers
- VESA wall mount support
- Full HD resolution only
- No TV tuner
- Modest brightness rating
- Some features need subscriptions
Performance notes
At this size, Full HD resolution gives enough detail for documents at normal desk distance, while the refresh rate and response time suit video more than fast games. Brightness is the limit in a sunny room. Smart features run on the monitor itself, so apps work with nothing else plugged in, but they depend on a network connection.
