CES 2025—the mammoth tech extravaganza that kickstarts each year—just dropped a bombshell that has the potential to redefine how we interact with our living room screens. LG and Samsung, both juggernauts in the smart TV space, announced the integration of Microsoft Copilot AI into their upcoming smart TV models. The feature promises to take smart TVs beyond just streaming Netflix or playing ambient background music during your Sunday brunch. It’s a bold leap into the future, and we’re here to break it all down for you.
Let’s take a closer look at what each brand has cooked up.
Imagine hunting down a specific episode of your favorite series. Copilot might let you simply say: “Find that episode of Breaking Bad where Walter White buys a car wash,” and boom—there it is on your screen. Need help organizing watchlists? Copilot could suggest shows based on what you’ve binged, with explanations for why those picks are perfect for you.
Currently, however, LG is holding its cards close to its chest. No demos of Copilot’s features on their TVs were shown at CES, leaving plenty of room for imagination—or skepticism.
The assistant will also power personalized content recommendations, which sounds a little like Netflix’s “Because you watched…” section—except it’s tailored by a tech combo of Samsung’s algorithms and Microsoft’s AI smarts. Wondering whether that’ll actually work better than current systems? So are we. But Samsung’s practically daring us to stick around and see how it plays out.
Copilot operates on OpenAI’s GPT models, fine-tuned for Microsoft’s ecosystem. Whether you’re drafting a letter in Word or navigating through hundreds of emails, Copilot acts contextually, making sense of your needs without a user manual. Applying these capabilities to a smart TV shifts it into an interactive hub for your digital life. Work emails, weather updates, movie searches—imagine all of this happening right from your TV screen while you sip your evening tea.
Here’s the kicker: if done right, Microsoft Copilot AI could bridge the gap between what TVs do for us now and what they should’ve been doing for us all along. Using AI not just for picture optimization (yawn) but for making entertainment personal is an exciting frontier. That said, until LG and Samsung let us peek behind the curtain with actual demos, all this is just speculative excitement.
What are your thoughts? Is Copilot a feature you’d actually use, or do you think this is just another hyperbolic CES announcement that will fizzle out? Sound off in the comments—we’d love to hear your take.
Keep an eye on WindowsForum.com for further updates as Microsoft, LG, and Samsung roll out more details. Stay informed and stay ahead—because the future isn’t just coming; it’s already knocking on your (smart) door.

What’s the Big Deal?
If you’ve been following the AI boom, you already know Microsoft’s Copilot AI has been making waves across Windows 11, Office Suite, and even in enterprise-grade solutions. Essentially, it’s Microsoft’s no-nonsense answer to integrating contextual, assistant-driven AI into everyday life. With the announcement at CES 2025, Copilot is now expanding its horizons to squash the boundaries between computing and entertainment. Both LG and Samsung aren’t merely adding it for gimmicks; they’re banking on Copilot to enhance user experience in meaningful ways.Let’s take a closer look at what each brand has cooked up.
LG: Redefining "Smart" in Smart TVs
LG is unapologetically going all in with AI. They dropped a hint about an AI-centric section in their UI, hyping the phrase “AI Remote” as the shiny new toy that screams innovation. The remotes will even have a dedicated shortcut to a Copilot web app, enabling users to experience AI-assisted organization. But what does that mean for us in real terms?Imagine hunting down a specific episode of your favorite series.

Samsung’s Vision: A Tight-knit AI Ecosystem
Samsung’s strategy, on the other hand, appears tightly woven into its existing ecosystem with features like AI-powered Vision enhancements. Copilot enters as a feature under Samsung’s Vision AI suite, complementing features like AI Upscaling (think turning your grainy 720p movie into buttery smooth 4K) and Auto HDR Remastering for vibrant color adjustments.The assistant will also power personalized content recommendations, which sounds a little like Netflix’s “Because you watched…” section—except it’s tailored by a tech combo of Samsung’s algorithms and Microsoft’s AI smarts.

Microsoft in the Driver’s Seat
Microsoft’s Copilot in this context feels like the perfect blend of function and innovation. If you’re familiar with it on Windows, you know it uses natural language processing (NLP) models to simplify user interactions.

The Big “But”...
As exciting as this sounds, neither LG nor Samsung chose to provide actual demos of Copilot running on their TVs. It’s all firmly in the “coming soon” territory. This raises questions:- Will Copilot need a Microsoft subscription to function optimally?
- Will it feel invasive, given the amount of information it might collect to “personalize” recommendations?
- And most importantly, how smooth will its integration actually be? Let’s face it—voice assistants like Alexa and Siri are far from perfect. What makes Copilot different?
What Does This Mean for the TV Market?
Smart TVs in 2025 are shaping up to be more than just a glorified screen—it’s a full-blown lifestyle device. AI assistants are no longer the icing on the cake; they are the cake. Here’s the industry-wide implication:- Increased Competition: Apple’s TVOS could double down with Siri’s integration to counter. Google TV (Chromecast) will inevitably respond with Assistant upgrades.
- Potential Privacy Concerns: Given that Microsoft Copilot leverages large language models, user data collection will be a hot topic. How much are you willing to let these virtual assistants “know” about you?
- Enhanced User Expectations: Once smart TVs start recommending meal recipes based on what’s in your fridge (via IoT integration), expectations for AI across other devices will escalate.
Final Thoughts: Truly Smart or Just Another Gimmick?
What we have here is a promising partnership that showcases the cutting-edge ambitions of Microsoft, LG, and Samsung. But it’s also riddled with uncertainties. While Copilot AI has shown remarkable utility in productivity environments, its effectiveness in casual settings like TV viewing remains an open question.Here’s the kicker: if done right, Microsoft Copilot AI could bridge the gap between what TVs do for us now and what they should’ve been doing for us all along. Using AI not just for picture optimization (yawn) but for making entertainment personal is an exciting frontier.
