Smart display or android TV?

by rgr1988

Hi everyone! I'm currently renovating my kitchen and am wondering which gadget would be better. I started with a Home Hub which was great but too small. Then I upgraded to a Lenovo display and the slight increase in size was appreciated. Now I'm not sure if I should get a nest hub max or try a monitor + mi box combo.

The main uses for my previous displays were to show family pictures in ambient mode, watch some videos (mainly YouTube) while cooking or eating and some commands for some smart lights and stuff like that.

I started thinking about maybe a 20in monitor with built-in speakers as I think the size would be great. If I wall mount it I could attach a mi box behind it. My concerns would be the photo display part (I've read contradicting info regarding the box's ability to show photos?) and the commands (I suppose I could have a Google home mini nearby to still use commands?)

Does anyone have a setup like this or any ideas what would be better?

Thanks!

The Nest Hub has additional benefits like video calls and you can view the camera whenever you want in the Nest app.

I live in a condo where saving space matters so I prefer a nest hub max. I'm currently using a home hub to save space but If I have a bigger space I would choose a smart TV with Mi box over a home hub or nest hub max because it can do more. If I get irritated from the wiring of Mi box and can spend more I'll just buy an Android TV instead.

Everything you're asking for points to the Nest Hub Max.

Well, I think nest hub Max fits for you, but check for "Philips kitchen Android TV"
