Description:
Cyber Monday brings with it some great savings, and Skylight's best-selling digital calendars and photo frames are among the best smart home deals I've seen.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

I love Amazon's Echo Show smart displays, and own a fair few, but one thing I know I don't love is being spammed with constant advertising. That's why I'm considering swapping to one of Skylight's best-selling gadgets, like the Skylight Calendar, now $249.99 (was $319.99) at Amazon in the Cyber Monday sales. In the UK, there's a similar deal slicing the Skylight Calendar to 240 (was 290) at Amazon.

This year's Cyber Monday deals bring some great discounts, including some great Amazon Echo Show deals , but if you're looking for a less ad-stuffed alternative and don't really need the voice control element, Skylight poses a great alternative with its range of digital calendars and photo frames.

Of course, it's not a 1:1 comparison, but Skylight offers some neat features to help the whole family, which I've detailed below with the best deals I've seen; read on to learn more.

Amazon smart displays like the new Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 are a single device that can handle everything from streaming music and TV shows to video calls as well as household management and digital photo display features, whereas Skylight calendars and photo frames do pretty much what they say on the tin.

However, you may just find that Amazon's many smart home features just aren't that useful in practice. It's a bit of a "Jack-of-all-trades" versus "Master of some" scenario here; Skylight's purpose-built digital photo frames and calendars offer a superior user experience for the advertised features and you're paying mostly for what you need, whereas the best Alexa speakers and displays offer far wider utility.

Below, I've shared the Echo Show deals I'd shop for comparison More Cyber Monday smart display deals - US

The latest Echo Show 15 just recently saw a big refresh, bringing its specs
up to speed and offering a better Alexa experience. These were the first
smart displays from Amazon to see the Alexa+ treatment and, naturally, therefore offer one of the better user experiences with Amazon's gen AI-boosted subscription service, and I'd say they're a slightly better buy this Cyber Monday if that's your end goal. View Deal

This is the first time the new Echo Show 11 has been less than full price, so if you've been considering upgrading, now is the time. It packs much the same specs as the Echo Show 8 above, but with a larger display well-suited for kitchens and offices where bigger real estate makes for easier viewing even across the room. View Deal

Though its wedge design looks dated alongside newer, more sophisticated models, the Echo Show 5 is on sale for only $54.99 and makes for a great little display around the home. It features a compact 5.5-inch display, impressive audio for its size and price point, and, naturally, a solid Alexa experience. It's likely the next display to see an upgrade from Amazon, too, which may well come with a list price increase; so this year's Cyber Monday sales might be one of the last chances to grab one.

It's a similar story for the Echo Show 11, which is functionally the same as the Echo Show 8 above but with a larger display well-suited for kitchens and offices where bigger real estate makes for easier viewing even across the room. It's 20 off in this Cyber Monday deal, which is a moderate saving but gets you the latest and greatest from Amazon. View Deal

It's rare the UK gets such a significantly better deal than the US, but here it is: the Echo Show 15 is a whopping 70 off for Cyber Monday, its
lowest-ever price, and one of the best deals on Amazon devices I've seen so far. I loved testing mine as a kitchen aid, and while it's not quite as sophisticated-looking as the new Show 8 or 11, the fact that it's wall-mountable and can work in landscape or portrait orientation really sells it for me. View Deal

For the snazziest, newest gadget where money is no object, the Echo Show 8 is 20 off in its first-ever Cyber Monday deal. While we won't have the benefit
of Alexa+ in the UK for some time, the redesigned floating display and zippy AZ3 Pro chip might be enough to justify the otherwise moderate savings. It's
a solid device, but if the best deal is your primary concern, read on for my recommendations. View Deal

Small but mighty, the 2023 Echo Show 5 still features that slightly chunky wedge shape sported by Echo Shows of yore, but if you can look past that,
it's still a very capable smart display. It offers a compact 5.5-inch display and impressive sound for its size. View Deal Shop more Cyber Monday deals Amazon: 45% off TVs, AirPods, air fryers & vacuums Apple: iPads, AirPods & MacBooks from $119 Best Buy: $1,000 off TVs, laptops & headphones Dell:
