So, what exactly is Google TV and why is there so much hype surrounding it? Google TV is a television interaction platform accessed through Google Chrome, offering users access to online video content from various sources such as YouTube and Netflix. The browsing experience is now easier than ever, requiring only a remote, mouse, keyboard, or Android-powered device for simple navigation.
To help users fully grasp the potential of Google TV, TCL shares five incredible things you can do with this innovative platform:

By linking your Google account, you can easily download content without the hassle of browsing through different apps like Netflix or YouTube. With the Google Home app and voice commands, you can effortlessly browse across all your streaming devices. Simply say, “Hey Google, find me some good comedies” or “Hey Google, what are the best dramas?” and explore the curated results across all your apps.
- Dive into a world of games. Google TV isn’t just about a superior viewing experience; it also offers an extensive collection of games through apps like Google Play Games.
