Subject line says it all and I would recommend this Television if you want 
something of a reasonably small size that is quite functional.
I’ve written about this Television on list a couple of times so I won’t go over 
it ll again other to summaries some main points.
The user has full access to the Google Play Store.
Setup does require some sighted assistance but shouldn’t take too long as you 
can transfer many of the settings - your Google account etc - from your Android 
device to the Television using the Google App.
After setup you will most likely need Sighted Assistance to go into 
accessibility and turn Google Talkback on, Talkback comes installed as part of 
the Android TV software.
I say you may require Sighted assistance as it has just occurred me that you 
might well be able to turn on Talkback using the accessibility shortcut on the 
Television’s remote control - hold down the “Down” and “Back” buttons for 4 
seconds -. Or you could use the dedicated Google Assistant button and tell 
Google to “Enable Talkback”.
So once all that is done it is just a matter of going through the appropriate 
menus to fine tune the Television to your liking and configuration.
The television has 2 HDMI inputs and a digital output along with a composite 
video and audio inputs for older equipment.
Speakers sound reasonable for such a device and Equalisation can be adjusted 
though connecting the device to a Soundbar or AVR receiver is preferable of 
course.
A LAN port is provided for connection to a Home Network along with Wi-Fi, you 
can transfer your Wi-Fi settings from another Android device during setup.
The remote control has Braille letters next to some of the buttons, a Braille P 
next to the Power button and V next to volume up/down for example.
The layout of the remote control is nice with many of the buttons having 
different shapes and put into positions where they can be easily identified at 
a glance, the Google Assistant Button being a case in point.
This button is a round button on its own in the middle of other differently 
shaped buttons.
You can have the Google Assistant speak to you, this needs to be turned on as 
by default the Google Assistant shows the results on screen.
As an added bonus you might say, Eloquence Text-To-Speech is built-in to the 
Operating system and can be used with Talkback.
Talkback is fairly responsive and about 95% of all the facilities I have used 
with the Television seem to be accessible.
For added convenience many of the Apps you may wish to use such as Netflix and 
Youtube come pre-installed.
Youtube worked right out of the box using my Google Account information however 
Netflix is a bit tricky, works after you get sighted assistance to navigate 
past the User Agreement screen.
The Television has Google Chromecast built-in but alas no Built-in DLNA 
compatibility so an extra App is required.
The operating system on my set came out in late October 2019 so it seems 
reasonably up to date, there is a “Check For Updates” option in the system menu.
