$300 extra for the subwoofer? Yikes.

Google Assistant built-in. Can that be disabled?

edit :

For $400 it better be faster than the shield.

There are no details on SOC, HDR/DobyVision support.

People often say you ought to buy a dumb TV and then add smart functionality through a Android TV box, or now this Link Bar.

The problem I find is that there aren't many, if any, dumb TVs that are as good as the Smart TVs.

Am I missing something?

Yeah 400 bucks and a proprietary sub, no thank you. I would rather grab an Nvidia shield and spend the rest on a Yamaha sound bar even if it's a refurb.

No tech websites in the US have picked this up and I find it very strange, like something is up

It's a great way to do video conference with far field microphones

My tcl tv's hdmi arc never works and cec is flakey at the best of times.

Running an optical cable is stupid in 2019.

I may have to get one, wonder how much it will cost to ship to New Zealand lol.
