With an update rolling out now, Gemini is able to adjust TV settings such as brightness, volume, sound, and picture modes. It can even tune settings to specific use cases.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google explains:<\/p>\n<p>Adjust audio &amp; video settings: Change common settings like brightness, contrast, picture, volume, and sound modes\u00b3. For example, ask Gemini to \u201cSet picture mode to Sport\u201d or \u201cIncrease the bass.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Troubleshoot picture &amp; sound issues: Describe what you\u2019re experiencing, and Gemini will adjust the settings to fix it. Try saying, \u201cThe screen is too dark\u201d or \u201cI can\u2019t hear the dialogue clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Optimize settings for your content: Tune settings for what you\u2019re watching. You can say, \u201cIt\u2019s movie night\u2014help make this feel like a cinematic experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Find settings menus: Go directly to the menu you want without clicking through multiple screens. Just say, \u201cOpen display settings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This functionality <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5google.com\/2026\/01\/05\/google-tv-gemini-ces-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">was announced earlier this year<\/a>, but is now actively rolling out. <\/p>\n<p>\tAdvertisement &#8211; scroll for more content<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is, assuming you have a compatible TV.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, this is a TCL exclusive. That\u2019s for the first 60 days at least, TCL tells 9to5Google in an email, so other brands might not have to wait that long. Android 14 or higher is required.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also not available to every TCL TV running Google TV. It\u2019s only in the US, and only on \u201cselect\u201d 2025 and 2026 models. Some specific releases that will get support in this first wave include the QM9K, QM7L, RM7L, X11L, QM9L, QM8L, and RM9L.<\/p>\n<p>More on Google TV:<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow Ben:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NexusBen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Twitter\/X<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.threads.net\/@nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Threads<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bsky.app\/profile\/nexusben.com\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bluesky<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nexusben\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/9to5google.com\" aria-label=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-dark\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768288030_634_google-preferred-source-badge-dark.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"google-preferred-source-badge-light\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/1768288030_158_google-preferred-source-badge-light.png\" alt=\"Add 9to5Google as a preferred source on Google\"\/><br \/>\n\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"disclaimer-affiliate\">FTC: We use income earning auto affiliate links. <a href=\"https:\/\/9to5mac.com\/about\/#affiliate\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">More.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Announced earlier this year, Google TV is now rolling out a Gemini update that lets you adjust TV&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":698281,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-698280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=698280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/698280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/698281"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=698280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=698280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=698280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
