TCL QM6K Pro (2025)

This model has a built-in far-field microphone, which is the hardware hands-free voice control uses.

What a far-field mic does →

TCL's US quick-start guide for the 55–85-inch QM6K Pro (linked from TCL's US support page) shows a "HANDS-FREE VOICE CONTROL MIC SWITCH" on the TV, described as a "Toggle switch to enable or disable the TV's integrated microphone" (printed page 10). Printed page 15 says you can "Speak towards the TV" after saying "Hey Google", and that hands-free use in standby needs the Screenless setting. TCL's separate quick-start guide for the 98QM6K Pro shows the same switch. The base QM6K has its own entry and source.

Firmware support status hasn't been confirmed for this model from a citable source yet.

What that actually means for your TV →

No official TCL policy stating a minimum number of years of Google TV/software updates for this specific model could be found, unlike Samsung's public seven-year Tizen commitment. Stays unverified rather than assumed either way.

Whether this model runs ACR hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

Viewing-data ACR has not been independently confirmed for the QM6K Pro. TCL's quick-start guide confirms microphone hardware, but does not document viewing-data collection or an opt-out setting for this variant. A brand-wide allegation alone is not treated as model-specific confirmation.

Whether this model looks for other devices on your home network hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.
