TCL's Google Tv has launched — here's why

After suspending sales earlier this month, TCL announced that it has resumed sales of its new Series 6 and Series 5 Google TVs.

The company was hit in early December when Best Buy, the exclusive U.S. distributor of TCL's Google TVs, removed the 6 and 5 series models from all store listings after being inundated with countless complaints about poor performance and a buggy interface.

In a statement released today to The Verge by a TCL spokesperson, TCL assured that "significant improvements in the stability and speed of TCL TVs with Google TV" will "represent the strong performance that TCL and Google believe is the future of television." ."

TCL clarified that it would.

TCL's TVs have long been synonymous with Roku software, but the 6 and 5 series models have abandoned Roku in favor of Google TV. Of course, this is not TCL's first collaboration with Google; the company has released sets with Android TV in the past. However, the company hoped that the 2021 model would be a strong showcase for the newer Google TV interface.

TCL has long been known for offering affordable choices for enthusiasts, and this year's displays continue to aim for that goal: the 6 series boasts stunning mini LED displays, and HDMI 2.1 supports 4K resolution at 120hz, making it super great option for PS5 and Xbox Series X gamers looking for a smooth experience. As a matter of fact, several TCL TVs have made the list of best 4K TVs for 2021.

If you already have a TCL Google TV, you should be automatically prompted to update it to the latest firmware, but if not, you can always visit TCL's website to learn how to manually install it.
