TCL Unveils QM9K TVs Featuring Integrated Gemini on Google TV

TCL announced its new QM9K series of QD mini LED televisions, the first in the industry to embed Gemini, Google’s AI feature, directly into Google TV. The TVs use a mmWave sensor that detects viewers and enables hands‑free interaction with Gemini through the standard “Hey Google” prompt. The series boasts a Zero Border WHVA panel with up to 6,500 nits peak brightness, 6,000 precise dimming zones, and Bang & Olufsen audio. Ranging from 65 to 98 inches, the QM9K models will be sold at Best Buy and select regional retailers later this month.

Gemini Integration on Google TV

TCL’s QM9K lineup introduces Gemini, Google’s conversational AI, as a built‑in component of Google TV. Users can activate Gemini with the familiar “Hey Google” voice command, allowing them to search for movies or TV shows, ask natural‑language questions about any topic, and control compatible smart‑home devices linked through Google Home. The integration also supports the creation of custom AI‑generated screensavers based on user‑provided prompts.

Hands‑Free Interaction via mmWave Sensor

Each QM9K TV includes an mmWave radar sensor that detects the presence of a person in front of the screen. When someone approaches, the sensor can wake the TV and enable Gemini interaction without the need to press a remote button. Users can adjust distance thresholds and operational hours for the sensor, tailoring the hands‑free experience to personal preferences.

Advanced Display Technology and Brightness

The QM9K series features a Zero Border edge‑to‑edge WHVA panel that delivers exceptional color accuracy within a bezel‑less design. A key highlight is the panel’s ability to reach up to 6,500 nits of peak brightness in HDR content, representing a 30 percent increase over the preceding model. The TVs also incorporate up to 6,000 precise dimming zones, providing deeper contrast and more detailed shadow reproduction compared with earlier TCL offerings.

Design, Audio, and Size Options

Available in sizes ranging from 65 inches to 98 inches, the QM9K series maintains a sleek aesthetic with minimal framing. Audio performance is enhanced by a partnership with Bang & Olufsen, delivering premium sound quality that complements the high‑resolution visuals. The combination of advanced display, AI integration, and high‑fidelity audio positions the QM9K as a premium home‑entertainment solution.

Retail Availability

TCL plans to distribute the QM9K televisions through Best Buy and select regional retailers later this month. The rollout will provide consumers with early access to the first TVs that embed Gemini directly into the viewing experience, marking a notable step forward in the convergence of AI assistants and television technology.
