LG M5 (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.
LG's own official US spec sheet lists "Hands-free Voice Control: Yes" directly in the Smart TV features table. Separately, a Decrypt article covering the Gamers Nexus/Level1Techs investigation described researchers pulling a recording from "a second, hidden microphone the mute switch never touches" on an LG set — that finding wasn't attributed to a specific model (the flagship G5 was the model named elsewhere in the same coverage), so it isn't cited here as being about the M5 specifically. See /microphone/ for the full context on that finding.
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 — this finding isn't OLED-specific.
Security vulnerabilities in webOS
SupportedThis model is still receiving firmware/platform updates.
What that actually means for your TV →
