This model has Samsung's ACR feature (branded "Viewing Information Services"), which analyses on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.

Samsung's US support article says ACR is optional and only runs if you opted in to the Viewing Information Services notice at setup or later in Settings, and that this applies to all Samsung smart TVs. This means the TV has the feature; Samsung says it's off unless you agree to it.
