A smart display might be for you if you want the convenience of a smart assistant with the bonus of having something to look at. When you put Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa into a smart speaker with a tablet-sized screen, you get a fun way to see the weather or album art, watch TV shows, follow video recipes, and even make video calls. We've tested most of the major displays on the market and listed our favorites below.
Be sure to check out our many other buying guides, including the Best Smart Speakers, Best Google Assistant Speakers, and Best Alexa Speakers.
Updated March 2024: We've made the Amazon Echo Show 8 (3rd Gen) our new Alexa recommendation and added notes on the Echo Hub and Apple's StandBy Mode.
