Built-in far-field microphone

Has mic

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

TCL's official support page links one quick-start guide for the 65-, 75-, and 85-inch QM8K models and another for the 98-inch model. Both guides label a hands-free voice-control microphone switch and say it enables or disables the TV's integrated microphone on printed page 10.

How to put a TV on its own network →

No model-specific investigation confirming local-network scanning was found for the QM8K. Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and casting support alone do not establish that behaviour.
