- pavel_lishin 7mo agoGoogle and Amazon make smart TVs?
- interloxia 7mo agoTV/streaming devices. Amazon's launched in 2014 and GoogleTV in 2010 according to wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_TV_(2010%E2%80%932014) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_TV_(2010%E2%80%932014)
- toast0 7mo agoNo, but neither do Roku. All three participate to embed their software (and hardware, probably) on smart TVs that other people make.
- 555513 7mo agoRoku makes TV, as well as Amazon. All 3 make streaming devices (Stick, set-top box, etc).
- toast0 7mo agoShow me a listing for a Roku made TV? All the ones I've seen are for like a TCL Roku tv. Same for Amazon, usually the same makers. n/m I do see that Roku sells tvs under its own name now. That's a change from the last time I looked.
- 555513 7mo agoSure: https://www.roku.com/products/roku-tv https://www.roku.com/products/roku-tv https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DD2P7YVW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DD2P7YVW
- limagnolia 7mo agoAmazon does in fact have their own brand TVs. I don't know if Google and Roku own a TV brand, but both provide the software that runs on TV's, and both require accounts and sell ads, so it comes out about even. (Seehttps://www.amazon.com/firetv https://www.amazon.com/firetv for Amazon brand TVs)
