I bought (or shall I say, "splurged" for) this as it was purchased as a want as opposed to a need. Nevertheless, I am so beyond happy with this purchase.
It arrived quickly and packaged well. It is kind of heavy. Even being a female who is in physically good shape, getting this into my car took some doing by myself. Nevertheless, mission accomplished :-).
There are just two pieces (sans the power cord) that need to be put together -- The base and the screen. The base is why this item is so heavy. Obviously, it comes with instructions; still I missed a step with the cord that connects the monitor to the base, and it required removing the monitor in order to fix it.
Normally, I am better at reading/looking at something on paper in order to understand what it is that I am studying. However, that was not the case with this item. I should have used YouTube as my guide because once I locked the monitor onto the base, I could not, based on the instructions, figure out how to remove it.
I pulled up a YouTube video that showed me how to remove the monitor as well as showed me where I went wrong with the power cord. I mention this because that is the only part of the assembly that you want to make sure you get right. It's so you're able to hide the cord. Otherwise, for those who are not directionally challenged such as myself :-), it should take no more than 10 mins to put together after unboxing, less if you're not doing it by yourself.
Connecting to my home network was a breeze and the picture is beautiful. I was not expecting the picture quality to be so vivid, but it is. The home screen is easy to navigate and while it is a touchscreen, when I am watching YouTube TV, if I touch the screen and pause a video, I cannot start the program again from the touch screen. I might be doing something wrong, but I have to use the remote to re-start the video. No big deal, but I need to keep researching this.
Of course, one of the best features is its mobility. It rolls easily (I have hardwood floors so not sure how well it would do on low-pile carpet) and arranging the screen from horizontal to vertical is effortless. It's also great that I can pair my earbuds with the unit so when I am in the kitchen, and need to move about, I can still hear what is going on even if I cannot see it. That feature alone works for me because you don't have to worry about the volume disturbing others.
There is only ONE con and that is the battery life. I can get about 2.5, maybe 3 hours of video watching before I need to charge it again. I do not know why, but I was expecting longer. Still, it is not an issue at all and I would buy this item again and again.
Highly recommend.
