TCL A300L Designer Series (2026)
Built-in far-field microphone
No TV micThis model has no built-in far-field microphone — voice control goes through the remote.
TCL's US specifications list "Hands-Free Voice Control: No" and "Push-To-Talk Voice Control: Yes (Voice Remote)", so voice goes through the remote. The specifications were read for the 55-inch model.

Settings → Privacy → Ads → Delete advertising IDStops apps using the advertising ID for personalised ads. Apps can still show ads.
The same screen has Reset advertising ID.
- Apps only modeRelated setting

Some manufacturers label the account menu differently, e.g. "Accounts & Profiles" on Hisense or "Manage accounts" on TCL UK.
Google: "You can't turn off ads, but you can control the use of your advertising ID for personalized ads across installed apps."
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.
