Overview
- The Perplexity TV app is live on 2025 Samsung TVs and select Smart Monitors, with 2023–2024 models scheduled to get it via an OS update later this year.
- Users can open the app from the Apps tab or the Vision AI Companion using the remote’s AI button, with voice queries requiring microphone permission or text input via on-screen or USB keyboards.
- Answers draw on real-time sources and appear as large, glanceable cards optimized for TV viewing, with cited references and suggested follow-up questions.
- A complimentary 12-month Perplexity Pro subscription is available at launch via an in-app QR code, adding higher usage limits plus features like reasoning, file analysis and image/video generation.
- The rollout comes as Perplexity faces reported legal challenges over scraping and copyright from Cloudflare, two major Japanese media companies and Merriam-Webster.
