Better than the Spot!
My nightstand has a new companion, the Echo Show 5. I was using the spot, but because of the small screen size, I wanted a larger display that would do more. The Show 5 has done just that. From watching Youtube and Prime Video, to just having a clock. I like how much real-estate the screen has. I have the digital clock with the date and weather all on one page. I use my own photo's as its background. Overall I think it's an upgrade over the spot, which was moved to my office. If you want a new clock for your nightstand or something to play music or just to watch multiple sources of video, the Show 5 is for you. I see all these complaints about only having two sources of video, Prime Video and NBC. As I mentioned up above, Youtube is also available. You can access it through either of the two built in browsers (Firefox and Silk). It works very well. I guess each person has there own opinion of this product. It's not as bad as some of the reviewers on here are saying. I see me pictures clearly as they rotate on my Show 5. All I did was turn up the brightness. Amazon updates their software all the time. What might not be working now, could be fixed later. I bought this to use on my nightstand to replace the Spot. It hasn't let me down since I got it. Things I didn't like showing up, I shut them off either through the Alexa app or on the show 5 itself. Try it for yourself and make your own decision.
