Laggy Google TV device? New ones are about to get worse, thanks to Google.
You don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a smart TV running the Android TV or Google TV platforms, but non-smart TVs are still significantly cheaper. Now, Google has announced that smart TVs with reduced RAM are coming. Shobana Radhakrishnan, Google's senior director of engineering for TV, confirmed in a YouTube video that 'low RAM Google TVs' are on the way: We'll be partnering with select OEMs to launch affordable and reliable low RAM panel TVs, allowing more budget-conscious users to experience quality entertainment. This seems like a double-edged sword for the platform. On the one hand, this means that many more people should be able to buy TVs with the Google TV platform, potentially bridging the gap between smart and non-smart TVs. This would also reduce the need for a separate TV stick/box purchase. On the other hand, one of the biggest complaints about cheap Android TV devices like the old Xiaomi Mi TV Stick is that performance can be an issue. This is largely due to the small amount of storage and limited RAM.

Hurry! This 65-inch TCL won't be 33% off forever
TCL has garnered quite a reputation for making affordable TVs that deliver great picture quality. At times, these budget-friendly sets even rival the picture you'll get from brands like Samsung, Sony, or LG. One of these models is actually on sale this week. While the sale lasts, you'll be able to grab the TCL 65-inch QM7 Series 4K QLED for only $1,000. That's a $500 markdown from the TV's original $1,500 price. Why you should buy the TCL QM7 Series There's nothing like a QLED TV for a bright home theater space, and the TCL QM7 is no exception. TCL's QD-Mini technology brings impressive brightness levels to the table, so you won't have to worry about sunlight or lamps ruining your TV picture. And thanks to the TV's mini-LED backlighting, this LED-LCD has the kind of inky blacks typically found on top OLED TVs. That's on top of TCL's Halo Control System, which all but eliminates light bloom around darker objects. You'll also be treated to up to 2,500 local dimming zones and support for every HDR format, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+. The TCL QM7 has a native 144Hz refresh rate, on top of ALLM support for reduced input lag when hooking up a game console or PC. TCL's Auto Game Mode also gives you the fastest response times, ensuring you won't miss a frame of action in your next round of Call of Duty! Google TV OS is TCL's UI and smart hub of choice, the latter of which grants you access to all kinds of apps and free live TV stations. You'll even be able to use Google Assistant to search for movies and shows, and control smart home devices!
