Overview
- At CES 2026, Google previewed Gemini upgrades that let users fix picture and audio with plain‑English requests like “the screen is too dim” without leaving playback.
- Responses shift to a TV‑optimized, visually rich format that can include high‑resolution images, video context, real‑time sports updates and a “Dive deeper” interactive explainer.
- Google Photos on TV gains conversational search, artistic remixes and cinematic slideshows, plus image and video generation powered by Nano Banana and Veo.
- The rollout starts on select TCL Google TV models and widens over the coming months, requiring Android TV OS 14 or higher, an internet connection and a Google account.
- Epson confirmed its Lifestudio projectors will add Google TV with Gemini, while specifics on control depth, regional and language support, privacy handling and whether video generation depends on Gemini subscription tiers remain under clarification.
