Google Home using the Chromecast to display more information on the Television is a better approach to visual information than the Echo Show. Hopefully it will work well

@gabriel__lewis I disagree because there are so many other places that visual information should be displayed where it is impractical to have a TV. Also lightweight actions like ordering replacement items would seem out of place on a big screen.
Don't get me wrong it's great in the context of media browsing, but it terms being suited for more contextual use cases Echo Show > Google Home + TV.

@matthewedanwoo Perhaps but if you have a Google Home, and a Chromecast you have the feature immediately via software update, vs having to purchase a new device that has the capability built in. It's too bad that Amazon couldn't have both released the show and display info on a TV connected with an Amazon Fire

@gabriel__lewis true that's a mystery to me why they wouldn't have that integration between their own hardware.

@gabriel__lewis Would be great if it could be displayed on a computer, phone or tablet. Show feels like another unnecessary screen

@matthewedanwoo @gabriel__lewis Personally, I want fewer screen in my life, so I'd love more integration into what I already have (phone, tablet, etc). The Show adds another screen, which is a hassle. However, to your point Mathew's point, a TV is not the most practical device. As I've said many times before, I can't wait until AI is so advanced that we won't need screens for it to be useful.
