I've wondered about the mic placement too, but honestly, I think it's more about the software than the hardware. I set up a decent soundbar thinking it would help, but half the time I'm still repeating myself like I'm talking to a stubborn toddler. Maybe it's just me, but voice tech on TVs feels a bit behind compared to phones or smart speakers... anyone else notice that difference?
Totally get what you're saying. I've tried voice commands on my TV exactly twice—both times ended up yelling slowly at it like it was hard of hearing. 😂 Honestly, I think you're right about the software. TVs just aren't getting the same updates or attention as smart speakers and phones. Plus, mic placement is probably secondary when the software can't even understand basic commands half the time. Maybe someday it'll catch up, but until then, I'll stick to buttons... less awkward anyway.
