Forget smart speakers. Now’s the time for the best smart displays, especially since many of them are more affordable than ever.
The best smart speakers have had their time in the sun, but speaking as someone who’s owned or tested more than 10 of them in my lifetime (and currently have three in her one-bedroom apartment), our smart home needs are starting to surpass what they can offer.
Smart displays are the next obvious step up. These displays, often with touchscreen functionality, not only give us a convenient way to control our devices and do all the other things smart speakers can do but also deliver other features. Many will let you stream your favorite shows and movies, display your recipes, and jump on video calls with loved ones. Some will even let you see live footage of and interact with your video doorbell and home security cameras, while a handful come with a hub for visual smart home management.
The best part is that smart displays are getting cheaper as our need for them is increasing, and they’re rising in popularity. They’re also among the most heavily discounted devices during big sale events.
Take the Amazon Echo Show 8, for instance. It’s the perfect versatile device for controlling your smart home devices, with a larger screen and more capabilities than the small Echo Show 5. It’s just $55 right now, with Amazon‘s current holiday deal slashing 58% off its retail price.
See the deal below, and grab it before it goes poof.
