Big screens on wheels are becoming a thing. It started with LG's StanbyME, a $1, 000 27-inch tablet that runs on webOS but lacks a TV tuner. It's like a portable TV for your home. Now, other brands like Samsung and smaller ones are making similar devices, mostly running Android.
One such device is the KTC MegPad 32-inch Android Tablet. It's a big screen on wheels, weighing around 40. 3 lbs. It's got a 32-inch VA panel with a resolution of 3840×2160 and runs on Android 13. It's got ports for USB-A and HDMI, making it versatile for different uses.
But why would anyone need a big tablet on wheels? Well, it's not just for watching shows. It can be used for video calls, online lectures, or even as a smart TV on wheels. The KTC MegPad, for example, can be rotated 360 degrees, making it flexible for different viewing angles.
Having a big screen on wheels means you can have a living-room-like experience anywhere in your home. You can watch TV in bed with a comfortable viewing distance, unlike a laptop or a small tablet. Plus, you can roll it away when you're done, keeping your space clutter-free.
But are these devices here to stay? With so many options like big-screen TVs, tablets, and laptops, it's hard to say. They're niche and expensive, but they offer a unique blend of portability and screen size. Only time will tell if they become a staple in every home.
