Professional reviewers praise its upgraded camera, richer audio and built-in Zigbee/Matter hub, while noting the lack of a camera shutter and wired audio/Ethernet ports.
Users love the sound and video-call quality but voice privacy concerns over the missing camera shutter.
“The sound is amazing for a device this size.”
“Video calls with family are crystal clear thanks to the auto-framing camera.”
“No camera shutter makes me uncomfortable - I cover it with tape.”
Professional reviewers describe it as a versatile hybrid device with easy setup and clean webOS, but note the lack of higher resolution, modest HDR performance, and limited ergonomics keep it out of premium categories.
Everyday users appreciate the all-in-one convenience and AirPlay 2, while complaining about pixelation at 27" Full HD, tilt-only stand, and the need to purchase the Magic Remote separately.
