Google TV gets you direct access to the Google Play Store, which means you’ll be able to enjoy all your favorite streaming apps seamlessly. Of course, it also works with Google Cast, so you can also skip the native UI and simply beam content from your mobile devices.
Additionally, you can enjoy direct access to Google Assistant and Google Home. Not only does this make it easy to find movies and shows, but I also use it to control my smart home devices. For example, I tell my TV to turn off the lights when I am ready to enjoy a film.
