LG B6 (2026)

Whether this model has a built-in microphone (beyond the remote) hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.

What a far-field mic does →

Signal, not proof: LG's own official pages for this year's C6 and G6 explicitly market "Far Field Voice Recognition" (wake phrase "Hi, LG"), and two separate official B6 pages checked (US and Australia) describe only remote-based "AI voice control" with no mention of far-field recognition — consistent omission on a marketing page that lists every feature it can, right when the step-up models are shouting about this exact one. That's a real signal, but it's an inference from absence, not a source that states the B6 lacks it outright, so it stays unverified.

This model is still receiving firmware/platform updates.

What that actually means for your TV →

Current-generation model, released 2026 and shipping with webOS 26 — LG's newest platform version — out of the box.

This model has LG's ACR feature (branded "Live Plus"), which analyses on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

LG's 12 Sep 2026 statement describes ACR (Live Plus) on LG smart TVs generally, not this specific model. LG says it is turned off by default and only runs once you accept the Viewing Information Agreement.

LG says this TV looks for compatible devices on your home network, for features like connecting to them, and doesn't describe a setting that turns this off. To keep it away from your other devices, you can put the TV on a separate guest network.

How to put a TV on its own network →

LG says its smart TVs use device discovery to find compatible devices on your home network, such as set-top boxes, games consoles and smart home devices, and that this information isn't used for advertising (statement, 12 Sep 2026). LG doesn't describe a setting that turns it off. A 2026 Gamers Nexus test on an LG G3 found the TV repeatedly contacting other devices on the network even with no agreements accepted. Whether the list of devices is sent to LG hasn't been shown publicly.
