  Nice idea, poor execution

  I was really excited to try this product but the reality fell far short of the hype. First, the installation was tricky, since the special bracket that they use did not work with my thicker TV. If you have a thinner LCD TV, you'll be fine, but I had to figure out how to attach the thing to my TV somewhat on my own. That said, once attached it actually worked and I could interact with the device via gestures. That's where the huge disappointment revealed itself: This is am Amazon device. It uses the Kindle store, not the Google Play store. I expected to log into my Google account and just start using my apps. Unless you are a dedicated Kindle tablet user, this device will not work well for you. Why the vendor didn't opt for full Google licensing, I have no idea, but at that point, it went back in the box and back to the store.

  Good as a toy, don't expect too much from it

  I bought this in order to use my 4 year old 50" Toshiba TV as touch screen so my 3 year old toddler can use ABC Mouse on it. The good things first: it works fine with ABC Mouse and is nice to be able to video call using Facebook messenger. Setup is not rocket science. Now the bad things: It seems to be designed for new tvs with flat top (none of my 3 tvs have it), I have to remove the pressure screw in order to fit my Toshiba tv. I also tried on a 42" Panasonic tv with (the adjustment tool didn't help either, it is to small). The android box is painfully slow and the touch response is like a 20 dollar Chinese tablet. Calibration has to be done at least once per day due the bad design. Don't let the slogan fool you, is not for any flat screen tv. This is a new product with lot of room for improvement, buy it only if you are comfortable with the DIY approach to make the device to stay in the proper position. If expect the same response as your phone or tablet (you better get the $800 touch screen adapter). I'll keep it just because it works for my very specific purposes (use with abc mouse) and I love to test new products and technology. Note: I wouldn't use it for video apps.

  Does not work

  It has a Sleek design. It is very light, The iOs App to remotely control the andorid box is pretty nice and easy to get going. It does miss a remote keyboard though. It took me a while to the get the thing mounted on my TV. The Velcro at the back gave me a hard time. But worse is the knob that does the finer alignment. It is a rather crudely made piece that needs lot of patience to get it right. Once you do get the alignment right, calibration is really easy and fast. But then comes the real trouble. For me, no matter how I do the set up or calibration, only a very tiny portion of the screen is interactive. The interaction does not work around the edges or at the bottom half of the screen. The device simply does not detect interaction in these areas. Then there are other interesting design choices. The Android box does not support google play store. You can only download apps from Kindle store. Summary: Nice looking HW. But not at all usable.
