I had a Lenovo Smart Display which was cool, but it was large, white with OK sound quality. I purchased the JBL Link View which is an amazing Smart screen speaker blends in better being black in my kitchen, is splash proof which is a huge plus for any kitchen and doesn't take too much space in my...

I wish it had blue tooth

A really enjoyable to use, great sounding smart display. While it lacks a customizable EQ, and the screen could be bigger, on the whole, it's a great showcase for Google's connected screen Assistant experience.

Louder; richer sound than the competition; Competent smart screen solution; Sharp; bright display

No Google Play Movies or Netflix casting support; Web browser access very limited; No audio EQ control

Smart displays represent a bit more of an investment than your typical smart speaker, but they do offer greater functionality. Google Assistant does seem to be a step ahead of Alexa in terms of its understanding and natural intelligence - Siri isn't even in the same ballpark in reality - but we...

Sound delivery with big bass; Google Assistant is great; Pretty compact size

Not hugely attractive; Display could be better

Whether it's worth £250, then, comes entirely down to how much you're prepared to spend for the luxury of superb sound quality. Since smart displays are speaker first and display second – you'll spend more time listening to it than looking at it – I'd have no hesitation in recommending the JBL Link...

Brilliant sound quality; Video calling; Easy to set up and use

Underwhelming screen; Not cheap

Got this to replace Google home in kitchen, needed something with a little more volume for social gatherings, this is spot on plenty of volume and a great screen to boot.

Smart speakers are now more and more prevalent in our homes and businesses. It can be a bit hard to work out which one to go with. Trying to work out what smart speaker will work best with your setup can range from difficult to outright confusing.

I am already heavily invested in the google home/LIFX bulb set up I already have a and was looking for great sound and a visual indicator that is always on - JBL delivers well. There is no user guide which isn't a major issue as it practically sets itself up if you already have the google home app.

Price wise _ cheaper compared to other companies Fast service and received product in excellent condition

The Google Assistant didn't have a smart display device until recently, with the launch of the Google Home Hub . Now, Google is accelerating the pace, offering a range of third-party smart displays to take on the Amazon Echo Show, including the JBL Link View.

Great value; Excellent sound quality; Has all the same features as the Google Home Hub

Interface is a little jerky
