<\/figure>\n\n\n\nVoice commands cover far more than just “turn on the TV.” What actually changes day to day is how many steps get skipped. Instead of scrolling through five different menus to find a show, saying the title out loud pulls it up directly. Instead of switching inputs manually to connect a console, a single spoken command handles it. Some of the most common everyday uses include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Searching for a movie or show by name, actor, or genre without typing on a remote<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Opening a specific streaming app directly by voice<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Adjusting volume, switching inputs, or changing channels hands-free<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Checking the weather or asking general questions using the same assistant built into the TV<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Controlling other connected smart home devices, like lights, through the TV as a central point<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Since our TVs run on Google TV, Google Assistant is the native, built-in voice assistant, so connecting it requires no setup beyond signing into a Google account during the TV’s initial setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Alexa is a separate ecosystem, and learning how to connect Alexa to TV generally means going through Alexa’s smart home linking, opening the Alexa app, adding the TV or a connected smart home device as a linked skill, and following the in-app prompts to complete the connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once linked this way, Alexa can typically handle basic controls like power and input switching, while deeper functions like content search and app navigation remain strongest through the TV’s own built-in Google Assistant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is largely handled through Amazon’s app rather than through settings on the television itself, so the steps live primarily on the Alexa side of the connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
