LG QNED73B (2026)
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.
LG has no US product page or specification list for the QNED73B. The owner's manual on its support page is shared by many 2026 LG models. It describes the remote's microphone, and mentions Hands-free Voice Control and Always Ready voice only "depending upon model", so it doesn't say whether this model has a microphone in the TV.
