TL;DR All 2026 Philips TVs will skip Google TV in favor of the Titan OS platform.
Titan OS is a web-based TV platform, with up to 10 years of security updates.
Philips maker TP Vision joins the likes of LG and Samsung in embracing an alternative OS.
There’s likely no shortage of television sets running Google TV in your market. However, we’ve also seen a few TV makers switch to other platforms over the years. Now, another notable TV brand is ditching Google TV.
Philips brand licensee TP Vision announced that all of its 2026 Philips TVs would forego Google TV in favor of the Titan OS platform (h/t: Flat Panels HD). This news comes over a year after it first announced that its cheaper TVs were switching to the platform. Now, all of its TV sets, including OLED-equipped models, will run the alternative operating system. It also comes a while after JVC embraced the platform for some TVs.

Titan OS is a Linux-based European operating system for television sets. TP Vision adds that Titan OS is a web-based platform, so you don’t have to download an app to start watching.

Philips also previously claimed that the platform enjoys 10 years of security updates, although there’s no word on feature upgrades.
