Smarter controls, seamless features — Google TV is the new standard for projectors.

Google TV is a smart platform based on Android 11. Since its launch in 2020, it has been updated to give users a better, smoother experience.

Compared to Android TV, Google TV has:

• A cleaner and more user-friendly interface
• Better content suggestions
• Tighter integration with other Google services
• Smarter control that aligns better with IoT ecosystems

Although both run on the Android system, Google TV gets regular security updates (security patch) directly from Google, keeping your system safe and stable. BenQ’s latest projectors—TK705i and TK705STi—already include the newest version of Google TV, based on Android 15, delivering smoother and smarter viewing experience at home.

The new Google TV interface puts everything in one place — personal recommendations, search function, and content from your favorite streaming apps. Compared to Android TV, it’s easier to use and more intuitive. The system learns what you like and suggests movies, shows, and more, so you don’t have to keep switching between apps to find something to watch.

Just download the Google TV App and Google Home App, and sign in with the same Google account you use on your projector. Whether you're using your phone or the projector, you’ll get smart features that work across devices and make everyday entertainment easier.

Just download the app, and your phone or tablet can work as a remote. You can control the volume, play shows, and more — all from your hand.

You can also sync your watchlist across devices. Just search for movies or shows in the app, tap the watchlist icon, and it will update your list. When you turn on the projector, you can pick up right where you left off.

Use your voice to control the projector — play videos, change volume, or search for content. While Android TV also supports voice control, Google TV offers deeper integration. You can search across all apps and shows built into the system, making it easier and faster to use.

Google TV gives you access to tons of apps and games from Google Play — covering music, news, sports, and more. You can even use your phone as a game controller for a more interactive experience.

Powered by Google’s advanced data analytics, Google TV recommends shows and movies based on your viewing habits. It also lets you hide content you’re not interested in. Plus, the system supports up to six individual profiles, so everyone enjoys their own recommendations and settings.
(Note: Personalized recommendations only work with Google services. For apps like Netflix or Disney+, you’ll need to log in to each account separately.)

With the Family Link feature on the app, parents can create child accounts and set limits to make sure kids watch age-appropriate content, and safely enjoy online learning, healthy growth, and fun.

Features include:

• Kid profiles: Each child gets a custom home screen and app list.
• Content filters: Set age-based content ratings to block unsuitable shows.
• App approvals: Decide which apps your child can download or use.
• Screen time limits: Set daily viewing hours and bedtime rules.
• Watchlist for kids: Add shows and movies for your child to watch later.
• App activity tracking: See how your child is using Google TV from your phone.

Google TV brings more than just a platform upgrade to smart projectors—it redefines the home entertainment experience. From intuitive navigation and rich content variety to smart voice control and thoughtful family features, Google TV is quickly becoming the essential standard for modern home projectors.
