TCL, the largest television manufacturer in China and seventh biggest mobile device maker in the world, debuted TCL MoVo with Google TV, at the International CES.

TCL offers both a Smart TV and set-top box with the Google TV platform. MoVo incorporates Google TV’s advances, including Voice Search and PrimeTime, an application that will search over 100,000 movies and television episodes across multiple video services including Google Play.

MoVo automatically recognizes individual family members and tailors the viewing experience to their preferences. With TCL’s Personal Box Office (PBO) technology, family members just need to press the power button and personally-tailored, commercial-free content streams from the MoVo set.

And oh, if you are watching Iron Man 3 (who are we kidding, we will be watching Iron Man 3), watch out for TCL products, including the TCL HD China Star 3D TV..
