Activation of the Google Assistant on 2018 AI-Enabled TVs Drives Critically-Acclaimed LG 4K UHD TVs Into the Connected Home Ecosystem with Cutting-Edge AI Services.
LG
Electronics USA announced that Google Assistant is launched on its 2018 AI TV line-up. This includes both LG OLEDTVs and LG SUPER UHD TVs with ThinQ AI,
which will deliver cutting-edge AI features operated directly through the TV’s
remote control with no additional hardware required. As previewed at CES 2018,
the collaboration between Google and LG will add more convenience to consumers’
lives, and the synergistic effects expected from this technology partnership
will particularly impact LG’s award-winning TVs, all of which are available at Video & Audio Center.
The
Google Assistant combines with LG’s award-winning webOS-based ThinQ IA to bring
new levels of convenience and control to American consumers. This enables 2018 LG TVs to deliver an intuitive AI experience that uses natural language
commands to control TV functions, seamlessly discover and play content, and
control TV settings. With the Google Assistant, you can ask it to manage daily
tasks, access information, control compatible smart home devices including
lighting, appliances and much more.
LG
and Google are collaborating to develop a wide range of features, and are
working to expand consumer accessibility in multiple languages. By adding the
Google Assistant to the webOS platform of LG’s 2018 AI TVs, the advanced machine
learning and natural language processing technologies that Google is known for
will simplify life for consumers. LG’s implementation reflects the importance
the company places on creating and providing a more complete, accessible and
diverse range of AI services.
LG’s 2018 AI TVs can perform hundreds of voice commands utilizing the company’s own
open smart platform as well as the built in Google Assistant. With LG’s
proprietary ThinQ, users can immediately connect to external gaming consoles
and sound bars (“Connect to soundbar”), they can switch picture mode (“Change
to Cinema Mode”) or turn the TV off at set times.
Searching
for content is even simpler and more convenient with LG 2018 AI TVs, which can
instantly retrieve information or switch to a channel that offers the content
requested by the viewer. “Switch to Discovery channel” instantly connects one
to information about future travel destinations. Users can learn more about
their desired films simply by saying a character’s or actor’s name, they can
tell the TV to “Search for the soundtrack of this movie” or “Turn off the TV
when this program is over” without needing to schedule a time.
With Google Assistant built in, LG’s 2018 AI TVs offer users a streamlined experience
that allows them to manage different tasks, find answers, or control smart home
devices. Simply press and hold the mic button and ask for information such as
the weather forecast (“What’s the weather this weekend?”), near by local
businesses, or check the score of the big game without disturbing the viewing
experience. Users can relive their favorite moments by displaying memories from
Google Photos. Services such as food delivery and transportation will also be
easier with the addition of third-party Actions available in the near future.
With
help from the Google Assistant, LG’s AI TVs can serve as the center of your
smart home, offering access to devices such as robotic vacuum cleaners,
thermostats, air purifiers, smart lighting and many more. The Google Assistant
works with more than 5,000 smart devices across hundreds of popular brands
making it easier to control smart speakers and other devices connected via
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
“With
the Google Assistant now available natively in 2018 LG AI TVs, LG has truly
elevated the TV to a whole new level of AI adoption in the home,” said Tim
Alessi, head of home entertainment product marketing at LG Electronics USA.
“Beyond the unrivaled picture quality that LG TVs deliver, LG’s partnership
with Google creates a true visual hub for information and connectivity in the
home. LG has only begun to scratch the surface of what we will innovate in the
AI ecosystem working collaboratively with cutting-edge, industry leading
partners such as Google.”
LG’s 2018 AI TVs also work with existing Google Assistant devices such as GoogleHome and other smart speakers with the Assistant built in, allowing users to
send voice commands directly from a separate Assistant device to their LG TV.
TV owners can speak to other Assistant devices to control TV functions such as
volume, play, pause, start, stop, fast forward, channel selection, content
search, among many others. LG’s 2018 AI-enabled TVs will work with other Google
Assistant devices in the U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia, with further
expansion to be announced by LG later this year.
LG’s 2018 LG OLED and LG SUPER UHD TVs with ThinQ AI are available at all five Video
& Audio Center Technology Superstores as well as online. For more
