Hisense U8QG (2025)
Built-in far-field microphone
Has micThis model has a built-in far-field microphone, which is the hardware hands-free voice control uses.
Hisense links this manual from the U8QG product page covering 55-, 65-, 75-, 85-, and 100-inch models. Printed page 15 instructs the owner to use the control button on the bottom of the TV to turn on the microphone, then enable the Hands-free Mic setting for voice control. This directly confirms TV-side microphone hardware.
Automatic content recognition (ACR), including over HDMI
Runs ACRThis model runs Hisense's ACR feature (branded "Enhanced Viewing"), which analyzes on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.
What ACR is and how to turn it off →
The U8QG manual's Enhanced Viewing section on printed page 18 explicitly names Automatic Content Recognition, requires acceptance of the smart-feature privacy terms, and exposes a Device UUID described as the identifier used for ACR data collection. The control is under Settings > System > Advanced System > Enhanced Viewing. Availability can vary by country or region.
