I lived with this oversized 25-inch Android tablet for a week - here's what surprised me most

"I love that Android makes it possible for companies to create devices for various scenarios. For example, you might want to have a large touchscreen display powered by Android in your kitchen for viewing recipes (without having to be up close and personal with the display), in the office to show presentations, or in the kids' room for games and fun."

"After unboxing the display, I attempted to power it on, only to find that the battery was depleted. I plugged it in (with the included cable) and waited for it to charge beyond 20% (required for setup). Once it was ready, I went through the setup process, which included creating a passkey with the help of my Pixel 9 Pro phone. Yeah, Google's really forcing passkeys on us at this point. Love them or leave them, they are here to stay. With the setup complete, I placed the display in my kitchen and gave it the once-over."

"First off, the display includes a nice built-in stand that can be used in either vertical or horizontal mode. That's a nice touch because sometimes you might want to use it in one configuration, and another time in the other. It's nice to have options. After I had the display up and running, I decided I was going to do something fun and install the minimal Olancher home screen launcher, just to be different. The launcher installed perfectly, and I found it to be well-suited for the tablet. In fact, I found the minimal launcher made the device perform faster, which comes as no surprise given its lightweight"

The KTC 25-inch Portable Touchscreen Monitor is a full Android-powered display intended for kitchens, offices, and kids' rooms. The device emphasizes size and build quality rather than top-tier tablet performance. The unit shipped with a depleted battery and required charging beyond 20% with the included cable to complete setup. Setup involved creating a passkey using a Pixel 9 Pro. The display features a built-in stand that supports both vertical and horizontal orientations. Installing a lightweight third-party launcher (Olancher) improved responsiveness and made the device feel faster.
