Is this tv compatible with google assistant? null

Yes, the OLED48A1PUA is compatible with Google Assistant (as well as Amazon Alexa). You can read instructions for their setup here: https://www.lg.com/us/support/help-library/connecting-lg-tv-to-google-assistant-amazon-alexa-lg-smartthinq-CT10000018-20150783600366 In order to use Google Assistant, you will need to have your OLED48A1PUA connected to the internet AND you'll use the microphone in the remote control provided with your OLED48A1PUA to communicate to Google. This means that the microphone in the remote control will always be "live" and audio from your home will be streamed 24/7 to a Google server. You and your family should think carefully about the ramifications of giving up this much privacy and allowing your home to be surveilled and your data sold to a number of other companies and government agencies about which you'll know very little. My recommendation is this: If you decide to use Google Assistant, ONLY connect your OLED48A1PUA to the internet via a wired ethernet connection. Do NOT use the built-in WiFi radio of the TV. That way, you have full control of the internet connection and can disconnect it any time you want by simply unplugging the ethernet cable. This would temporarily disable Google Assistant. If you use a wireless WiFi connection, you have less control and the OLED48A1PUA may connect even when you do not want it to. In that case, you'd have to turn off your WiFi hotspot in order to disable the connection and that would also disable all your other WiFi devices (which you probably don't want to do). The only time I allow an internet connection to my OLED48A1PUA is to download and install firmware updates for the TV and I only use an ethernet connection (which is also the fasted connection possible). I disconnect the internet as soon as the firmware update is installed. When my family wants to stream video via the internet (we frequently use Amazon Prime), we use a computer that is connected to the OLED48A1PUA via an HDMI cable. That way, we have full control over the internet and our internet browser (Firefox). And it prevents us having to use the inane browser built into the OLED48A1PUA. If you use the browser built into the OLED48A1PUA, you'll be forced to receive and view a stream of unwanted ads from LG and others. This is unacceptable to me---to pay so much for a high-end HDTV and have to endure unwanted ads!!! Every "smart TV" has this lousy "feature" now and the only way to avoid it is to not connect the OLED48A1PUA to the internet and, instead, use a separate computer for all your internet streaming.
