Settings up was easy but must be done through the Meural app. Meural has gesture controls which allows you to wave your hand to switch images and details. You can also use the app to cycle the images you have loaded. You can add images to the cloud or use SD card and makes most images look great. One annoyance is if you installed Meural in portrait and the image is landscape then it will not load and their isn't a way to adjust or center the image if it is offset a bit. You can force a landscape image in portrait but you also can just rotate the frame.
Meural has sample artwork and of course could subscribe for their service but the beauty is you can load any image you want. This is a great product that decided to get a second unit. It took a while to find a way to add another Meural to my account and I wish they would provide more instructions even on their website. There are two latches on the back of the unit to remove the outer wooded frame but Netgear does not sell them and state that removing the wooden frame could damage the unit. The power adapter is huge and wondering why does it need to be so large and the unit has some weight to it. So when installing Meural to the wall pay close attention to the wall material and use the correct fasteners.
I would recommend this product to anyone that wants to display their pictures or artwork.
Pros:
Size
SD Card
Ways to load picture
Included mounting hardware
Cons:
Price
Large boarder
Lack of instructions
Size of power adapter
Update 02/28/2021
Tried the SD card to add my pictures and not use the cloud or upload any to the netgear servers. After trying for some time found a forum on Netgear's website where it states you can use any sd card as long as it is class 10 and faster. Created folders but Meural didn't find anything then found another forum that says have to create folders "Meural 1, etc but max four folders. If you create a folder meural5 or more the system does not find it.
Lastly, it does play short videos but Meural isn't very powerful and you will see the video latency. Lastly, if the video is small on size it will not stretch the video to fit the screen.
Bought this as a gift for my spouse per request. The rotating mount works nicely, images look great even next to a window, no glare like a glass covered picture. There is an included flat mount that could be used but rotating would be more difficult since it would require removing the picture and reinstalling it on the flat mount. Rotating is nicer.
Mounting and draping the cord down the wall is an easy install. This is what I recommend doing.
Trying to plug into power behind the Meural, and not show the plug is very difficult. The plug (wall wart) that comes with the Meural is huge! Most recessed outlets require an angle on the outlet, since the wart has the plugs twisted 90 degrees, it can’t be plugged into a typical recessed outlet.
Using a 360 outlet that can be turned to keep the wart inside the recessed outlet, the wart sticks out of from the wall at least 1/2”. https://www.amazon.com/360-Electrical-36011-V-Rotating-Duplex/dp/B000VWE67A
Replacing the wall wart with a smaller one reduces the amount that sticks out to 1/3”. https://www.amazon.com/Power-Supply-Adapter-5-5mm-Camera/dp/B08T69FYYL
None of those allow the Meural to rotate freely. The plug is touching the picture and gets unplugged easily.
There are large recessed outlet boxes that put the outlet on a flat bottom or side but they are huge and the hole and/or wires would be exposed in landscape mode.
The sub-optimal solution was to get a 3 gang recessed TV box, and a shallow old work box, plus a couple blanks. The shallow old work box is too big to fit in the box, so it must be altered to make the center hole wide enough to put the shallow old work box, then drill a couple holes to attach the box to the frame securely. Wire it up and use the non-Meural plug to plug it in. This is sub-optimal because the bottom of the frame of the outlet box is exposed in landscape orientation. https://www.amazon.com/Legrand-Pass-Seymour-TV3WW-3-Gang-Recessed/dp/B008SDCKC2
I would not recommend trying to use a recessed mount with this picture. Too much work, and quite difficult to do. Just drape the cord down the wall to an outlet and save the effort.
It took Netgear over 3 months to provide the code for the first year included membership. If you don't have a membership card in the box, RETURN it within 30 days!
There is NO defined process to get the code if it is not in the box. Amazon will not email a code to you as they don't have access, Woot support doesn't read your messages if you are outside of the 30 day return window, but will probably have the same answer as Amazon. Netgear will deny the code should be provided by them. You might be able to annoy Netgear enough to get one, like I did, but I wouldn't bother.
I would say that purchasing from Netgear directly should get you a code that works, but I found another review here that says a purchase from Netgear directly has the same issue.
If you contact meuralsupport@netgear.com and ask them for it. They will reply and ask you for a picture of proof of purchase, and a picture of the serial number from the device. Be sure to take that picture before hanging it. The serial number is under the back cover, under the rotating mount. That is not an easy place to get to after it is hung. Netgear support took over 3 months to finally provide the code.
So far, it is a decent screen to display your own pictures. I would not be expecting the Annual Membership to actually be included in the "bundle". If you get the membership, then there is several themes to choose from and seem to be good quality pictures. Some playlists are not included in the membership and have additional costs.
