Overview

  • Starting today, TCL’s QM9K QD‑Mini LED TVs at Best Buy are the first to ship with Gemini, priced from $2,999 for the 65‑inch model.
  • Gemini enables free‑flowing, natural‑language requests that are read aloud and can surface supporting YouTube videos.
  • Users can invoke the assistant by saying “Hey Google” or by pressing the microphone button on the remote on supported devices.
  • The QM9K introduces built‑in mmWave presence sensing to wake the screen or show ambient info based on proximity, with far‑field mics for room‑voice control.
  • Google plans a staggered rollout later this year to the Google TV Streamer, Walmart onn. 4K Pro, and select 2025 Hisense and TCL models, and reporting indicates Gemini will replace Assistant on the platform.
