It’s certainly not showy for something called the Show, like the rotating display on the Echo Show 10. While not as thick as the Echo Show 10, the Echo Show 15’s footprint is substantial, especially when combined with the tilt stand, which increases its depth to 9 inches. Only the Facebook Portal+ has a comparable-sized display (14 inches), and it measures 12.3 x 9.9 x 3.9 inches. However, only the Echo Show 15 is designed to be hung on a wall, which is most likely the best place for it. A metal mounting bracket, four screws, and four plastic anchors are included with the Echo Show 15 to secure it to your wall. Given the weight of the Echo Show 15, all four screws and massive anchors are probably unnecessary, but it’s nice to have them. A template for where you’ll need to drill holes is also included in the box, but you’ll need to provide your own level to ensure everything is straight. The Echo Show 15 can be mounted either vertically or horizontally. If you do mount it on the wall, consider the height of your family members; what’s eye-level for me is a bit too high for my wife, making it not only more difficult for her to see the screen, but also more difficult for her to reach up and control the display and the buttons along the top. You can create profiles for each member of your household as part of the setup process, so the information your partner sees differs from yours. The Echo Show 15 can switch between profiles automatically using either voice ID or visual ID. The former requires you to speak a few phrases, whereas Visual ID photographs your face. Google uses a similar method for its Nest Hub.
