“#TCL Admits That Its Google TVs Are Too Slow \u2013 Review Geek”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Call me a hater, but smart TVs are awful. Even if a smart TV works fine out of the box, its smart features will slow to a crawl or become unusable after a year or so. And a smart TV manufacturer is finally admitting that this problem exists\u2014for some products, at least.<\/p>\n

TCL mysteriously pulled its full lineup of Google TVs from Best Buy on December 9th. The manufacturer still lists these TVs on its website, but unless your poor soul stumbles across one in-store, you can\u2019t buy a TCL Google TV.<\/p>\n

In a statement to 9to5Google<\/em><\/a>, TCL admits \u201csome are facing challenges with the stability of the user interface featured on TCL sets with Google TV.\u201d Nearly every Best Buy customer review<\/a> for TCL\u2019s line of Google TVs mentions the sluggish and unresponsive software, and many note that they had to purchase a streaming stick to get around the problem.<\/p>\n

So, TCL is pausing sales of its Google TVs until it can resolve the performance issues. The company will issue a series<\/a> of updates over the coming weeks that should<\/em> make its Google TVs feel snapp<\/a>ier, and once that\u2019s settled, the TVs may return to Best Buy. If you own a TCL Google TV, the company suggests manually updating its software<\/a> now.<\/p>\n

I should note that most TCL smart TVs, particularly the Roku models<\/a>, are well-reviewed and tend to work a lot longer than what some rival companies are offering. But if you\u2019re shopping for a TV today, I suggest that you ignore the software and focus on the screen instead. Streaming sticks like the Roku Express<\/a> regularly go on sale for $20 or $30.<\/p>\n
