Skylight Calendar 15" Touchscreen Digital Calendar & Chore Chart

Product overview

What the Skylight Calendar 15" actually delivers

The Skylight Calendar (ASIN B0C9V811L6) is a wall-mountable 15-inch touchscreen with a 1920x1080 IPS display and 16GB of internal storage, priced at $299.99 for the base hardware. It syncs with Google, iCloud, Outlook, Cozi, and Yahoo calendars over Wi-Fi, pulling everyone's schedules into one shared screen, and includes a wall mount in the box. Unlike the other four products in this roundup, this is a connected smart-home device with an app companion, not a standalone gadget - which changes what 'buying' it actually involves.

The chore chart is the feature most frequently singled out in family reviews, including detailed hands-on write-ups from Bless'er House and Cubby at Home. Parents describe it as one of the few chore systems that actually gets kids to follow through, partly because completing a full day's chores triggers a small on-screen reward animation, and partly because it's visible and touchable in a shared space rather than buried in an app only a parent checks.

The subscription structure is the main thing to understand before buying: the base hardware works out of the box for calendar sync and the chore chart, but the Plus plan (photo screensaver, meal planner, and 'Magic Import' features) is included free for the first month and then costs $79/year. Multiple reviewers and retailer listings flag this clearly, and it's a legitimate consideration - you're evaluating a $299 device plus a recurring cost if you want the full feature set, not a one-time purchase.

Best Buy's customer review pages for this exact model give a useful independent read beyond Amazon: reviewers consistently praise ease of use, sync reliability, and the touchscreen, while recurring criticism centers on the price relative to what a free family calendar app (like Cozi itself) already does, plus the ongoing subscription for premium features. A minority of reviews mention the unit doesn't have a battery, meaning it must stay plugged in and mounted where a power outlet is accessible.

This is the most expensive and most complex product in this comparison by a wide margin, and the value case depends heavily on whether a shared physical screen actually changes household behavior versus everyone just checking their phones. For families that have tried and abandoned shared calendar apps, the physical, always-on, touchable nature of this device is the actual value proposition reviewers describe - not any single spec on the sheet.
