What does my TCL TV collect?
TCL ships the same brand name across three different smart-TV platforms — Google TV, Roku TV, and now Fire TV — so what applies to your TV depends on both the model and which platform it actually runs, not just the brand. Type it in — you'll get a source for every answer, or an honest "unverified" when we don't have one yet.
This page covers 22 TCL models from 2022 to 2026. A built-in microphone is confirmed on 15 and ruled out on 5; ACR is confirmed on 2. See every model.

Don't know your model number?
On the TV: Settings → System → About (Google TV) or Settings → System → About (Roku TV). Or check the sticker on the back of the set — recent Google TV models are size-first like 55QM7K; older Roku TV models look like 55R655.
Every TCL model on this site
Each row links to the model's page, with the source for every answer. Region shows when the entry is for one country's version of a model; a dash means the entry doesn't name one.
