Insignia F40 Series (2025)

LED · Fire TV · 24, 40″

Built-in far-field microphone

No TV mic

This model has no built-in far-field microphone — voice control goes through the remote.

Insignia's specifications on Best Buy list "Microphone Range: Near field" and "Remote Control Type: Voice control" for both the 24-inch and 40-inch NA26 models. A near-field microphone is one you speak into close up (the voice remote), not a far-field array in the TV.

Automatic content recognition (ACR), including over HDMI

Has ACR

This model has Insignia's ACR feature (branded "Automatic Content Recognition"), which analyzes on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.

What ACR is and how to turn it off →

This model runs Fire TV. Amazon's help page says that when ACR is enabled on a Fire TV smart TV, Amazon identifies what you watch through connected devices such as a cable box, and that it is managed at Settings → Preferences → Privacy Settings → Automatic Content Recognition. Amazon doesn't say whether it is on by default.

Broadcast Live TV Data (UK)

Amazon's UK FAQ says smart TVs with Fire TV can send Amazon information on your use of broadcast live TV received through the TV's aerial inputs, and that you can opt out here.

From Amazon's UK privacy FAQ (checked 19 Oct 2026). It doesn't give the switch's exact name.

Agreements and toggles can be reset by a software update, so check again after your TV updates.

Interest-based AdsAds continue, less personalised

Tells apps that use the device's advertising ID not to use it to build ad profiles or show you interest-based ads. Ads continue.

Amazon's privacy FAQ covers Fire TV devices from other brands too. Same path in the UK and US.

No setting to turn them off is documented. Amazon's Fire TV privacy FAQ describes Interest-based Ads as telling apps that use the device's advertising ID not to use it to build ad profiles or target interest-based ads; it doesn't say the ads stop.

These settings cover ads in the TV's own menus, not ads inside individual apps. Menus can change with software updates, so check again after your TV updates.
