However, some users experienced challenges with the remote control pairing and compatibility with certain devices and sound systems. A few also noted that the device did not include an HDMI cable and that the software could be improved for a smoother user experience.

    Great Idea But Needs Improvement

    I bought this myself and several family members at the start of the pandemic when lockdowns were common. I wanted something to share video calls with family. It's a great idea, being able to have video calls by using the TV. However, setting up the group calls could be simpler. There is a lag in the audio, making it difficult to converse, and the image quality fluctuates. If the system has an update, it can take a half hour before the system is ready. It's best use is between two parties, but the user experience suffers once you add more parties to the call.

    Meta decided to stop the Portal TV production. Worried it might not add valuable features going forward. Hope they won't scale down the abilities it has today. i guess no more software updates!
