Google and Amazon make smart TVs?

[toast0]

No, but neither do Roku. All three participate to embed their software (and hardware, probably) on smart TVs that other people make.

Roku makes TV, as well as Amazon.

All 3 make streaming devices (Stick, set-top box, etc).

Show 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.

Amazon 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 for Amazon brand TVs)

TV/streaming devices. Amazon's launched in 2014 and GoogleTV in 2010 according to wikipedia.

Amazon has Fire TVs as well as the 'Fire stick' you're talking about.

I still use a Chromecast 2 on my non connected TV. Works well.
