Quality5 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I just received this today and did a side by side comparison with the Echo Show 2nd Gen (ES2). TL;DR - I'm keeping this over the Echo Show 2nd Gen. Reasons below. Form: I really like the smaller and even bezel around the display. The ES2 just looked imbalanced with the larger bezel above the screen. Screen: I was wondering whether I might miss the larger display of the ES2, but the answer was a resounding NO. I think the display is every bit as readable if not a little better. Sound: I personally like the sound better. Yeah, the ES2 has Dolby, but I honestly like the sound of this one better. The ES2 had more of a dynamic range (lows were lower and the highs were more crisp sounding) but my overall impression was that that the overly synthesized bass made the sound kind of muddy. The ES8 just sounds more balanced and pleasing to my ear. Privacy: This was a strong selling point for me (ironic that I'm mentioning privacy with an Alexa device - I know). I like the fact that you can manually shut out the camera. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see this appear on the next Echo Show 3rd Gen. Price: After all of that coupled with the fact that it is 50-60% cheaper than the ES2 it was a no-brainer. For the same price of the ES2, I can have this AND an Echo Sub (not that it needs it IMHO).

Quality3 out of 5Value3 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5Amazon Echo show 8 seems to just meet basic expectations. I can view my Ring cameras, BUT; I can not view past videos. I do not have the same capabilities that I do from my phone. I still need to seek another device. Three way video calling: Skype seems to offer 200 free minutes of calling? I have not seen what the cost is after that. I would have liked to be able to make three way calls with my echo. Home Screen: The home screen is one selected picture. Where is the option for the home screen to randomly select a photo in my album? Echo Show Screen: Where is the option for the home screen to automatically shutoff after a selected period of time? I am having to constantly tell Alexa to turn off the home screen. The light is not something I want on in a bedroom all the time. The Echo show 8 still leave a LOT to be desired.

Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I had an echo dot and decided to upgrade to this so that I can view my ring cameras. It did that and so much more!! First night I got a great recipe for dinner and watched a movie!! Sound quality was surprisingly good. Video images are also good. I told everyone in my family to invest in one.

Quality4 out of 5Value4 out of 5Ease of Use4 out of 5I haven't explored all of the options yet, but so far - so good. I have it in the kitchen. I can pull up recipes while cooking. I can listen to music while I'm cooking. It also connects with the Ring doorbell and security cameras. So you can ask Alexa to show you those cameras, and view who's at the front door or other places around your property. Like I said ... so far so good.
