Built-in far-field microphone

Has mic

This model has a built-in far-field microphone, which is the hardware hands-free voice control uses.

TCL's product information sheets for the 55, 65, 75, 85 and 98-inch C805K say "Voice recognition sensor available: YES", and its 98-inch spec sheet lists a "Smart integrated TV microphone". TCL UK's pages list hands-free voice control, and the manual describes hands-free "Hey Google" through a built-in microphone with an on/off switch on the TV, which keeps listening in standby when enabled.

Hides personalised recommendations. Google says sponsored content and teasers for popular movies and shows still appear, and Search, the Assistant and your Watchlist are turned off.

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.
