Walmart is now selling ONN Google TVs, including a 55-inch 4K QLED smart TV for only $248. This new line brings Google’s streaming software to full-sized TVs under Walmart’s own electronics brand.
Now, budget shoppers do not have to choose between saving money and getting a good TV. They can get better displays and faster interfaces at a low price.
Why Walmart chose the Google TV platform
This launch marks a big change from Roku, which used to power most of Walmart’s affordable TVs. Recent inventory checks show Walmart has been phasing out older Roku-powered ONN models in recent months.
With Google TV, Walmart is changing how people use their TVs. Instead of just rows of apps, the new system focuses on smart recommendations.
The main attraction for buyers is the improved screen. Most TVs under $250 use basic LED panels with dull colors, but the 55-inch ONN model uses Quantum Dot (QLED) technology.
This technology boosts color and makes highlights brighter. It also helps the TV show HDR movie scenes with clearer details and deeper contrast.
On the software side, Google TV organizes your content by learning what you watch across different streaming services. Instead of opening each app like Netflix, Disney+, or Prime Video, the home screen shows you matching titles in one menu.
The TV also has hands-free voice control with Google Assistant. You can search for shows or change the volume just by speaking.
The built-in software means you do not need to buy extra streaming devices. With Chromecast built in, you can send videos, photos, or music from your phone, tablet, or laptop straight to the TV.
What to expect from Walmart’s ONN Google TVs
Walmart expanded this setup to full TVs because its cheaper ONN Google TV streaming boxes have sold out again and again over the past two years.
If you want to upgrade your old TV but have a tight budget, this $248 model gives you a big screen without the high price.
You can also expect better long-term reliability than most budget TVs. Google TV updates its software often, so your apps keep running smoothly instead of slowing down after a year.
The TV has several HDMI and USB ports, so it is easy to connect older soundbars or gaming systems.
This launch benefits shoppers because it pushes other budget TV brands to lower prices or improve their entry-level models. By offering QLED color, smart features, and voice control for under $250, Walmart has raised the standard for affordable TVs.
