The new LG C8 OLED TV can run Google Assistant

If you own LG’s 2018 OLED and Super UHD LCD TVs, you now have access to Google Assistant. This was first announced at CES 2018 but is now made live to coincide with Google I/O. What Google Assistant brings to LG is being able to talk to your TV and control it as well as control any other compatible smart home devices—including almost 100 smart appliances from LG alone. Combining Google’s tech with LG’s ThinQ tech, you can speak through the built-in microphone on the remote and have it do things like find and play content, do web searches, switch picture modes, turn off the TV, and control the sound bar. If you own a Google Home speaker and connected it to your TV, you don’t even need to use the remote.
