Review: Easy set up, great features; perfect for the Deaf and Hearing impaired.. - I am a professional A/V Integrator and company owner. So I wanted to demo this myself before recommending it to my clients. I had ours installed within 5 minutes and on our first video chat. Our Portal is connected through the HDMI input of a Denon AVR and the video is shown on a new 75" Sony UHD-TV. We have had a few calls that were pixelated or where the calls were dropped, however I believe that was most likely a reception issue originating from the person(s) we called. Both parties we called live in rural areas or areas that have poor cellular and Ethernet reception. I am quite pleased with the video quality when WiFi strength is good and how effectively the camera adjusts to Zoom and Pan thus accommodating people moving about in the room. If I make a Portal call from my couch the camera zooms onto me and any movements. If my wife enters the room the camera immediately zooms out to get her into frame until she sits next to me on the couch, then the camera zooms in closer to include us both in the video call. Using a Sony Smart TV and enabling HDMI-CEC I can be watching Netflix from the Sony Netflix app and all I have to say is "Hey Portal Call Mom" The Portal responds and begins the call. Once the call begins the Sony TV automatically switches from Netflix to Portal TV. This is perfect for the older generation who are not technically savy. A great way to stay in touch with kids, parents, grandparents and friends afar. We have used the Story Telling feature with our 2 year old grandson who loved the interaction with us. Only Con I have is that it has no hardwired Ethernet connection, only Wi-Fi. When we first installed Portal TV we had Xfinity 300mbps Wi-Fi, last week we upgraded to Google Fiber Gigabit so I again I am certain that any video issues we are experiencing are actually originating from whom we called. It may be they do not have their mobile device camera set at the highest resolution, poor celluar and or Wi Fi reception. I have not tried any of the included streaming apps on the PortalTV as we use the apps from our Sony UHD TV. For the price this a wonderful device, for my many deaf and hearing impaired friends this is AWESOME, as it does have a hand held remote so speaking commands is not necessary.
Review: great - Great prodect and a great seler thank you so much.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: When i am using my portal to talk to others, my voice echos back to me from the people's portal that i am talking with.  how do i stop this?**
A: Unlike using a headset mic, when you talk through portal, you are using far-field mic(s) to pick up your voice.  with far field voice, TV sound also gets picked and send over to your friends.   Same happens on your friends side, and what does his TV outputs?  Whatever you just said.  This is the reason why you hear echo of your own voice while you are talking.  The echo you heard actually traveled from your end to the other end and back.   To reduce this you need something called AEC (Acoustic Echo Cancellation), my guess is either this is not included in portal, or not as good as it needs to be.

**Q: What is a Puck?**
A: A puck is a battery of sorts. The puck can be used to get power to the Portal.

**Q: How do you interact with it?**
A: You interact with Portal TV using the remote (provided) or with the Portal app after you’ve set up your device.

**Q: Does this have the digital photos like the older portal?**
A: Yes, when not in use and if your Portal TV is on the device will display photos. You can add albums as well from the Portal app that display on your TV. It’s really great to see your photos on a big screen especially during parties and events at home.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great
*by A***R on October 11, 2025*

Great prodect and a great seler thank you so much.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for Family Calls
*by J***K on October 23, 2024*

A couple Christmas ago my mom and I bought portals for all the members of our extended family. We used them for our annual gift exchange to talk virtually. They worked perfectly. We could see everyone in the room. We could zoom in on specific people opening presents. It was like we were all really together. We have also used it for some of its filter functions to entertain nephews and nieces from afar. It has a lot of the same filter games you get on Facebook messenger. But it has the added functionality of story mode where you can read a book and it transposes your face on the characters. Very interactive and engaging for kids. I can’t wait to see what more functionality they add. We like it so much, we are buying more this year for other family members.
