Buying a 4K TV is TV Movie Archivesmore confusing than ever before, and decoding all of the different picture quality technologies and supported formats like quantum dots, OLED and HDR can be a daunting task.
But while image quality is the primary feature to consider, Sony's hoping Google's Assistant will be another reason to convince you why its 4K TVs are better than Samsung or LG's.

With the Assistant, you can ask questions like you would on a Pixel phone or Google Home, or control your TV settings and smart home devices.
But while it all sounds really great, there's one major caveat: the Google Assistant won't always be listening, meaning it's not a hands-free voice control experience. Instead, you have to activate the Assistant by pressing a microphone button on the remote control:

Probably not that much faster, if at all.
Voice controls are pointless if they're not hands-free. Just take a look at the Amazon Tap Bluetooth speaker. When it launched, you had to press the microphone button to activate Alexa. It was such a big mistake that Amazon patched it and added hands-free Alexa voice controls in.
It's understandable that most people would probably find it creepy to have an always-listening microphone in their TV, but at the same time it feels like Sony missed an opportunity here.
