Google is expanding its Gemini AI assistant to Google TV, starting with TCL's new QM9K series and later to other models, enabling conversational commands, show recommendations, and broader questions, enhancing the smart TV experience.
Dolby Laboratories has announced FlexConnect, a feature that aims to simplify and enhance home theater audio setups. FlexConnect allows supporting TVs, starting with TCL TVs, to optimize Dolby Atmos audio output among the TV's speakers and paired wireless speakers. It adapts to various audio setups, considering factors like speaker count and placement, and uses automatic calibration and acoustic mapping to optimize sound based on each speaker's location and capabilities. FlexConnect could potentially streamline home theater audio setups for mainstream users if adopted by multiple TV brands.
