The Lumio Android 14 update is headed to living rooms in one sweep, and Lumio says it is the first brand to push Android 14 across its entire product portfolio. The company says it has upgraded its entire TV lineup first, and will follow up with a Lumio Arc projector update next. New Lumio Vision TVs are already shipping with Google TV Android 14 out of the box, while existing owners are set to get the same software via a phased over-the-air rollout starting February 14, followed by projectors in March.
That might sound like “yet another version number”, but TV software updates are often the unglamorous hero of the home. When the remote feels laggy, voice search takes a beat too long, or settings look like a maze, it is usually the software doing the tripping.

What changes with Android 14 on Google TV
Lumio says Android 14 is aimed at better performance, stability, and day-to-day usability, while keeping the familiar Google TV experience intact. The update also lands alongside a Google TV launcher update on Lumio devices, so the home screen and navigation may feel fresher even if your favourite apps stay the same.

Setup gets quicker, especially for households with both Android and iPhone
If you have ever entered a Wi-Fi password using a TV remote, you deserve a medal and probably a snack. Lumio is leaning into a QR-led flow where you sign in by scanning a code on the TV. The company also says iPhone users can complete setup through a temporary Google TV App Clip experience, so they do not have to install an extra app just to get started.

This is not just a speed flex. Faster onboarding also reduces the odds of a half-finished setup that turns into a weekend project.
A cleaner control panel and smarter standby
Android 14 also brings an interface refresh that targets a common smart TV pain point. The settings you actually need often end up buried. Lumio says quick settings, picture modes, sound profiles, and system controls now follow a unified layout, so you spend less time hunting and more time watching.
The update also adds more control over standby behaviour. Users can pick energy profiles depending on priorities. Lower power draw is useful for overnight standby. Faster casting and smart home connectivity can help if your TV doubles as a living-room hub.
The practical extras that help day to day
Beyond speed and visuals, Lumio is highlighting quality-of-life additions that tend to age well. Guest-friendly Wi-Fi sharing via QR code is the kind of feature you only appreciate when friends are hovering near your router. Accessibility options such as colour correction support can also make a meaningful difference for viewers who need it.
Security is the quieter headline. TVs sit on home networks for years. Keeping the latest Google security patch current is one of the simplest ways to reduce exposure to newly discovered issues.
Lumio’s Head of Product Sudeep Sahu framed the rollout as a long-term play, saying the company is focused on “fast, reliable and long-lasting software experiences” and that these Android 14 updates across its Vision and Arc lineup reflect an ongoing commitment to improvement for existing customers.
Rollout timeline and how to check
Lumio says new sets already ship with Android 14. Existing owners should start seeing the Lumio Vision TVs update from February 14, 2026, in phases. The Lumio Arc projector update is planned for March 2026.

If you want to check manually, go to Settings, then System, then About, then System update. If the rollout has reached your device, it should appear there.
This kind of update is not flashy like a new panel or a bigger screen, but it decides whether your premium hardware still feels premium six months from now. If Lumio can keep shipping meaningful platform updates on schedule, that will matter as much as any spec sheet.
