LG 2022 QNED LCD LED TV Lineup

We see the term QNED again this year in LG’s LCD LED TV line-up. QNED stands for quantum nanocell mini LED. To put it simply, the mini LED technology is an improved version of the LCD LED technology that we have seen in recent years. The LCD screen remains as it is, but the backlighting with this technique consists of thousands of small LEDs (so mini LED) that can be controlled in very small groups. The advantages of miniLED are a higher contrast and a higher brightness. Do you want to know more? Then read us background article about miniled and microled.

LG will launch five series with the name QNED this year. Two of them have the 8K resolution and three come with the 4K resolution. It is striking that of the five QNED series, only four have miniLED local dimming backlighting. The top model in the field of LCD LED is the QNED99 series. The models in this series have the 8K resolution, come with approximately 2,500 dimming zones, are equipped with mini LED backlighting and have a 100Hz panel. A step lower we see the QNED95 (QNED96) series. This series is largely similar to the QNED99 series but has a 50Hz panel instead of a 100Hz panel.

If you go for the 4K resolution, you will end up with the QNED90 (QNED91) or QNED85 (QNED86) series. All models in this series are equipped with the mini LED technology with local dimming, HDMI 2.1, webOS 22 and support for Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. The sizes range from 55-inch to 86-inch. Finally, there is the QNED80 (QNED81) series, consisting of LCD LED TVs with edge lit LED backlighting. So no mini LED is used on these models.

Of course all known features are present on all top models, including HDMI 2.1 (4K/120, eARC, VRR), Filmmaker Fashion, Game Optimizer, AirPlay 2, and HomeKit. The TVs also come with support for Nvidia GeForce Now and Google Stadia. New for 2022, users will be able to select and switch game-specific features and display presets from the TV’s Game Optimizer menu. The Game Optimizer menu provides quick access to the new Dark Room Mode, which adjusts the screen brightness for a better gaming experience in the dark. Settings for G-SYNC Compatible, FreeSync Premium, and variable refresh rate (VRR) can be accessed through Game Optimizer. In addition, a new sports mode has been added to presets for first-person shooter, role-playing and real-time strategy games, providing more details for a realistic gaming experience.

webOS 22 introduces personal profiles for a personalized viewing experience. Under each profile, users can set up quick access to their favorite streaming services, get tailored recommendations based on their viewing history, and receive real-time alerts to keep up to date with favorite sports teams. Logging in to profiles can be done both via the TV browser and via a smartphone with NFC Magic Tap. NFC Magic Tap can also be used to mirror the screen of a mobile device to an LG TV. Viewers can also mirror content in their home from one TV to another using Room To Room Share. Watches cable or satellite content on another TV over WiFi without an additional set-top box. Always Ready turns an LG TV into a media display when not in use. Always Ready is activated with a press of the power button on the LG Remote to transform the screen into a digital canvas for displaying artwork, keeping track of time or playing music. In addition, the upgrade of ThinQ AI allows LG’s 2022 TVs to become a smart home hub. ThinQ provides voice control and compatibility with other ThinQ devices.
