Overview
- Google began rolling out the Gemini TV settings controls on Thursday, June 11, 2026, with the update appearing now in the United States.
- Gemini can change core system settings such as brightness, contrast, picture mode, volume, and sound modes and can troubleshoot picture or audio problems described in plain language.
- Owners invoke Gemini by pressing the remote’s microphone button or using voice activation to open specific settings menus or ask for content-optimized presets like a cinematic or sports mode.
- The rollout is a temporary TCL exclusive for at least 60 days and is limited to select 2025 and 2026 TCL Google TV models running Android TV/Google TV OS 14 or higher, with listed models including QM9K, QM7L, RM7L, X11L, QM9L, QM8L, and RM9L.
- Users should see a system update arriving automatically or available to install manually and the feature is expected to become available to other compatible manufacturers after the 60-day exclusivity ends.
