LG QNED73B (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 →

LG has no US product page or specification list for the QNED73B. The owner's manual on its support page is shared by many 2026 LG models. It describes the remote's microphone, and mentions Hands-free Voice Control and Always Ready voice only "depending upon model", so it doesn't say whether this model has a microphone in the TV.

What that actually means for your TV →

No LG US page for this model states an update period. LG's support page lists no software downloads for it (checked 19 Oct 2026).

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 covers LG smart TVs in general, not this model. It says ACR is optional, not enabled by default, and can be managed or withdrawn in the TV's settings.

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.
