Meural Canvas art display review

[@themallonee]

Excellent review. You literally covered every question I had, including the ambient lighting and whether or not It was glaringly bring. Thank you 🙏

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks so much for posting this. You made my day!

[@TVArtGallery]

Great review! I like the idea of displaying digital arts on screens. That’s why we created the channel to cast any art on our tv 😀

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks!

[@lanemcook1]

You are so right. The setup took about 15 tries, lots of frustration. The swivel mount is also a pain, thought it would fall off several times. There's no instructions in either the box for the Meural or the Swivel mount box. You must go to the website and there are no illustrations. Once done, it's pretty good.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Agree. Thanks for watching Lane.

[@Bsurfing]

Most likely it was due to a firmware update that the Meural builtin router had to go thru on the background before you could use it. The router is made by Netgear and they should alert the user, if that is the case.

[@scottabergermd]

Great review, best I have seen yet on this interesting gadget that just went on sale at B&H… I am wondering why they did not make it so that it has a chargeable battery and you don’t have to see there’s dreaded cord coming out of your wall or have a handyman install it? Otherwise fabulous review. Thank you. You did not state what size mural was or I may have missed it? Thank you new subscriber.

[@TheTechVengers]

Love it ! What a great idea! Curious about checking it out and would love to review it as well. Thanks for your unique take!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thank you!

[@flint350]

Well covered almost all anticipated questions. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the upcoming Canvia. One of the big issues for photographers is the questionable decision to make it a 16:9 aspect ratio. That requires cropping for almost all artwork and serious photography. Bummer.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thank you! And good points.

[@Alexread94]

Great video! I have a question about using your own photos. Is there any limitations on the amount of photos? Eg a maximum amount you can have? Also is there a memory limit for how many photos you can use? I intend to buy one of these to display my 10,000+ amateur photo collection on “shuffle”, is this product suitable?

[@tucciproducer]

As an artist, how do I create a publicly accessible playlist of my work?

[@MannyG32968]

Great video! Had an issue with my Wifi but ultimately figured it out with regards to the connection. Thanks!

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks very much for watching!

[@krishnakanthcake]

Great review

[@nissaflanagan8073]

I'm wanting to purchase this primarily to show my own photos. How often or how fast is the scroll? Meaning what do you estimate is the time lapse between the switching of each new pic?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

You can adjust the scroll and timing to your liking.

[@instajuelz]

how does it work at night? does it lower the brightness itself?

[@philfyphil]

Excellent real-world review with some really useful suggestions, thank you. It makes a big difference when someone reviews a product properly and actually describes every step of the way, problems included. :-)

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.

[@dondimidelavega3835]

This is a great concept but it needs some refining to become a success imo. Maybe a second generation at a cheaper price could possibly sell really well. Another thorough and very informative review, Erin!👍 Extra marks for the really wonderful hair and make up. 😉

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for the compliments Don Dimi!

[@alexabadi7458]

You can use a flat screen TV with a USB input to display your pictures. What they need to do is a picture frame that will display your pictures without emitting light, using millions of pixels made with magenta+cyan+yellow.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

This is kind of neat. A nice way to have art on 'somewhat' of a budget (if you don't include the hardware cost). The swivel mount should be included. Black mark there. Also, needs to be motorized to rotate view automatically based upon the picture. Still, kind of cool.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Good points. Thanks for watching!

[@GhostLovr1]

I would like to lean mine on a table against the wall. My concern is if it slides or how did you troubleshoot this?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It's pretty heavy. If you put a bit of non-skid padding under it I think it would be fine. I had mine leaning before I got the wall mount and it worked great.

[@bochiloch9155]

I can only find the swivel mount online from their website but shipping to Canada will cost an extra 95$. Lame!

[@SpankYa]

Does your Meural sit flush with the wall on the swivel mount? Mine leans forward despite the mount being tight and secure. Thanks

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

It's mostly flush. Not 100% flat, but good enough for me.

[@Juntaski]

I read in one review that you will need a wifi connection all the time to work. Is that true?

[@hectoro5144]

Hi Erin, I have a question, the pictures of your own that are being displayed have a 3:2 aspect ratio or are they being cropped to fill?

[@dk12641]

beautiful

[@rogerwilco2]

How long will the app be supported? Can I still use this in 5, 10 or 20 years?

[@linnophoto]

I'm old school. Can I use it by just uploading my own photos without even using phone?

[@Leashaz]

If you want to showcase your own NFTs which blockchain does it support?

[@DamonBowe]

Samsung The Frame or Meural, since you've seen both in person????

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

If you want it just for the art, Meural. If you also want TV, Frame.

[@DamonBowe]

@@ErinLawrenceTV Thanks!!!

[@jeffreyhawkins4534]

This is a great review. Thank you.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for the compliment!

[@xserve2472]

please don't directly use the wake word "Alexa"

[@ED-gz8vr]

I just got it..but is not easy to connect with the App. I already connected with the Wifi, I followed every step they tell you..but it keeps telling me "the Canvas it's not detected " is frustrating thing....it's not worth it

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

I'm sorry to hear it's still a problem. :(

[@ED-gz8vr]

@@ErinLawrenceTV I made it work...it's Great, thanks for the Reply =)

[@ED-gz8vr]

Is really Awesome I might get another one in the future. 👍

[@JerryWanders]

How do you control 3 of them if i get . Can you connect a usb stick or SD card to play a slideshow?? Love this frame .

[@brainguynyc8729]

What is the difference between meural and meural 2?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Wish I knew! I didn’t realize they had a new one out. I’ll have to get my hands on one.

[@chukwumachibuzo3043]

Can it function in Nigeria without the meural wifi?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

No, you need Wi-Fi to make it work. That’s how you upload your own photos, or connect to their network of photos

[@Monkey-u2h]

Please visit Artrina or eascan art on Amazon and Flipkart 🙏

[@mxrider564]

No comment on the power cord? No one wants a picture frame with a power cord showing. Great idea but the cord has got to go.

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks for adding your thoughts!

[@mcelliot]

then, conceal it with the cord in the wall behind. How were you expecting it to receive power ?

[@Ninja_Sloth]

Most digital displays with a decent display require a power cord, not just Meural. Although you can go with the natural gas power approach

[@maestrohun]

@BeGood 2Me Not a great idea for a 27" backlit display with wifi connection... for e-ink without online connection maybe could be a solution.

[@rogerwilco2]

This is not going to run on a battery. What are you suggesting? Nuclear?

[@psychotech3927]

can it do GIFs?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Good question! I'll have to try and see.

[@vaChiCago]

Yes perfect for cinematographs too it is heaven on earth and a creative persons dream. The only limitation is your creativity. I have crackling fire, waterfall gifs and aquarium video on my relaxing playlist.

[@ivantomicic6799]

In this video, screen looks way too bright?

[@chukwumachibuzo3043]

Is it rechargeable?

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

No.

[@NutQase]

What's the difference between this thing that I have to pay 800 EUR upfront for + another 50 EUR a year just to be able to use it... and a TV? Answer: a TV can do more. Also it's 1080p. Doesn't matter how many lights you put on it, it's less pixels than my cellphone, what?

[@misternibba6100]

Erin is a art too ❤️

[@vaChiCago]

My sentiments too ... I just subscribed she's exquisite 👌🏽

[@chumleyk]

No one even remotely serious is reviewing this dead-end tech for those who usually buy their art in Ikea.

[@adonistopofmen2571]

cool ......

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

Thanks!

[@karimjovian8793]

Angel I like it this device. But its prize to high 😕😕😕This is not in my budget

[@ErinLawrenceTV]

True! Not for everyone. A bit of a luxury item.

[@kathymcqueen6275]

So hot! I love that top erin ❤️ you have my subscribe

[@dkgong]

You could do almost the same thing with a monitor, raspberry pi, and a frame for a fraction of the cost.

[@flint350]

No, you could not. Not even close.

[@NutQase]

@@flint350 Please elaborate this instant

[@randyiron2]

flint350 right, there are many things going on with this digital picture frame. To be fair, he did say “almost”. By the time you bought the pi, monitor and the frame it would be about half the price. Then you would have to spend a lot of time getting it to just plain display pictures. You still wouldn’t have half of the features.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

Maybe so, but where you'll miss the mark by a M I L E is refinement.

[@shaolin95]

BLOCK "ALEXA" when doing a video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@abhisunkara]

don't say her name aghh

[@10OF9OFBORG]

Nice! It’s look more like a digital painting picture but it’s a waste of electricity.

[@OldAndGettingOlder]

Plenty of fossil fuels to go around. No worries.
