LG B5 (2025)
Built-in far-field microphone
UnverifiedWhether this model has a built-in microphone (beyond the remote) hasn't been confirmed from a citable source yet.
Checked LG's own US product page first — no Hands-free Voice Control row appears at all (present or absent), and no official spec-sheet PDF for this model could be located. There's a real signal pointing toward 'no': secondhand coverage describes LG's stated policy that hands-free voice without a remote requires an alpha 9 or alpha 11 processor, and the standard B5 uses an alpha 8 Gen 2 chip — but that policy statement itself wasn't confirmed by fetching a primary LG source directly, so it stays unverified rather than asserted as false on that chain of inference.
Automatic content recognition (ACR), including over HDMI
Runs ACRThis model runs LG's ACR feature (branded "Live Plus"), which analyzes on-screen content — including over HDMI — to identify what's playing.
What ACR is and how to turn it off →
Source describes Live Plus generally on LG webOS TVs rather than confirming this specific model, but ACR has been a standard webOS feature across the lineup for years.
Scans your local network for other devices
Scans LANLike essentially all webOS sets, this model scans the local network for other devices. There is no settings toggle for this — the reported option is network-level (a guest network or VLAN, or disconnecting the TV from the internet and using an external streaming device instead).
How to put a TV on its own network →
Reported by Gamers Nexus and Level1Techs (2026) as webOS-level network scanning with no per-model settings toggle; described as platform-wide behavior rather than tied to a particular model.
Security vulnerabilities in webOS
SupportedThis model is still receiving firmware/platform updates.
