Digital Wall Calendars: Hearth Display vs Skylight Calendar

The Skylight Calendar Max and Hearth Display are two products that aim to make family scheduling and planning easier. They’re both digital wall calendars that can connect to a companion app but can also be controlled via a large, wall-mounted screen, and in theory, they make it so that everyone in the family can easily see everyone else’s schedule. But at nearly $600 or more for each, it’s a considerable investment for a product that, primarily, does one thing. 

I tried both calendars to find out whether either of them could help my husband and me keep our calendars aligned. One calendar came out on top, but I also learned that just as important as the product itself is where and how you use it.
