TCL Google TVs Pulled from Shelves in the US Due to Software Issues

What They Say

Best Buy in the US has withdrawn TCL TVs based on Google TV (TCL Introduces Award-Winning 5-Series and 6-Series TV Lines with Google TV) from its stores and TCL confirmed to The Verge that ‘there are issues being ironed out’. Early buyers had complained that early sets had been buggy and with a slow interface. Reviews on the Best Buy site include comments on the firmware.

TCL has already rolled out several software updates meant to improve performance and stability.

What We Think

There will be some smirking at Roku, which has been the main supplier to TCL of firmware for its successful development in the US TV market. (BR)
