LG QNED TVs differences

In 2022, LG has expanded its lineup of 4K UltraHD LG QNED Mini LED TVs. The 2021 models have been updated, but fundamentally new series have also been added. There are also new functions, along with an upgrade of the main ones. This, for example, support for the Wi-Fi 6 standard in the older QNED lines, and also the Always Ready option (Always ready).

The appearance of TVs has not changed significantly, the user interface has evolved (now it is webOS 22 instead of webOS 6.0) and the processor, which is already represented by the fifth generation. So, we will not set our task to identify any special differences between LG QNED 2022 and 2021.

Our task is to find out how the 2022 QNED LG TVs differ from each other. This should help those who are planning to buy LG QNED. Recall that QNED technology uses NanoCell technology together with Mini LED blue backlight. This makes it possible to significantly reduce the size of the backlight LEDs, while multiplying the number of zones for adjusting their brightness.

Despite the differences, there are many points where LG’s 2022 QNED TVs are the same. Let us briefly dwell on the most important of them. Firstly, they all run on the webOS 22 smart platform, which means that they support smart home, voice control, multimedia functions, and a USB camera.

Secondly, all QNED models work with static HDR modes, namely HDR10 and HLG. In terms of image processing, QNED TVs use the same color enhancement algorithms and have an identical set of display modes. All have 10-bit color depth. There are no differences between them in terms of television reception. Now let’s move on to the main thing – the differences between QNED.

Matrix and backlight

LG’s three older series QNED99, QNED96 and QNED95 are 8K TVs with a resolution of 7680 × 4320. The remaining models have a resolution of 4K UltraHD 3840 x 2160. But something else is important here. In the younger series, LG began to use, in addition to IPS matrices, VA. These are the LG QNED82, QNED81 and QNED80 series. True, 86″ TVs still use IPS panels.

The main idea of ​​creating QNED TVs was to use Mini LED backlighting. In 2021, all LG QNEDs only had mini LED backlighting. But 2022 was marked by the appearance of Edge Lit side lighting, again in the LG QNED82, QNED81 and QNED80 TV series. With LG MiniLED QNED, they are united by the presence of quantum dots and NanoCell technology.

There are differences between QNED 2022 in the way the backlight is localized or local dimming is implemented. In LG QNED99, QNED96 and QNED95, the Precision Dimming Pro + full-matrix backlight control algorithm is implemented. The LG QNED91, QNED90, QNED87, QNED86 and QNED85 series use Precision Dimming Pro with fewer dimming zones. Local dimming Dimming Pro is also available in the LG QNED82, QNED81 and QNED80 side-lit series.

Processor and screen refresh rate

All QNED 8K series are based on α9 Gen5 AI 8K intelligent processor. The LG 4K QNED uses its counterpart α7 Gen5 AI 4K. The difference is due to the fact that A9processes 4 times more information than A7. The screen refresh rate of almost all QNED LG 2022 is 100 / 120 Hz. The exception is the LG QNED96 and QNED95 series. Their panels are updated at a frequency of 50 / 60 Hz.

Sound

What is the difference in QNED 2022? Firstly, the sound scheme, secondly, the power of the audio system, and finally, Dolby Atmos support. In the three junior series, this atmospheric technology is not supported, and the total power of the two-channel sound circuit is 20 watts. The most top-end TV LG QNED99 has a total power of 60W and a 4.2 channel circuit. All other models implement a 2.2 channel circuit with a power of 40 watts.

Connections

Basically LG QNED wiring diagram is repeated from series to series, but there are quantitative and some qualitative differences. Let’s start with the fact that all QNED 4K have two HDMI2.1 connectors and two HDMI2.0 connectors. 8K models are different. LG QNED99 has all HDMI 2.1 connectors, while QNED96 and QNED95 have only four HDMI2.0 connectors. All 4K QNEDs have 2 USB 2.0 ports, and the 8K QNED versions add one more USB 3.0 port. Plus, QNED 8K TV works with WiFi6.
