LG Electronics has unveiled its new lineup of QNED evo televisions, introducing them ahead of CES 2025. The LCD TVs will be available in sizes ranging from 40-inches all the way up to 100-inches, and they’ll come packed with AI features, including for picture and sound optimisation as well as personalisation.
The new televisions will come with a new wide colour gamut technology that LG calls “Dynamic QNED Colour Solution”, and it’s said to replace the quantum dot tech that was used on its older models. That’s quite a change but the tech sounds promising, as the TVs have already been certified for Colour Volume by the independent testing organization Intertek.
Within the range, there’s a new model known as the QNED9M, which will adopt LG’s proprietary True Wireless 4K technology – a feature previously restricted to the company’s LG M-Series OLED televisions. LG says this utilises a special Zero Connect Box, and sends 4K 144Hz video and audio to the TV wirelessly, without any impact on picture or sound quality.
All of the 2025 LG QNED TVs will feature AI Super Upscaling, AI Picture Pro and AI Sound Pro to help with optimising the picture and sound, while the Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro capability is said to optimise HDR brightness on a scene-by-scene basis. There’s also an updated Magic Remote, complete with an AI button to help with searching for content by utilising a built-in large language model.
The flagship model in next year’s QNED lineup is the QNED99, featuring 8K resolution and Mini-LED backlights and the Alpha a9 8K Gen 7 processor.
The best of the 4K models is the LG QNED92, which also has Mini-LED backlights and uses the Alpha A8 AI Gen2 processor that’s found in the B4 OLED TV from this year.
As for the LG QNED9M, this doesn’t have Mini-LED, but instead uses NanoCell backlights. It comes with the Alpha a9 4K Gen8 processor, which is the same as the one that appears in the current C-series OLED TV. It boasts an Ultra-Slim design, and features AMD FreeSync Premium for gaming.
There’s also the LG QNED85, which has the same display technology as the QNED9M but without the wireless capabilities. It will be available in a bigger, 100-inch size, helping it to compete with companies like Samsung, Hisense and TCL, which have all embraced a new trend for super-size televisions. It has the same chip as the one found in the LG QNED92
Last but not least is the LG QNED82, which is the company’s new entry-level model, with many of the features found in the QNED85 and the same Ultra Slim design as the QNED9M, albeit with a less capable chipset.
We’re yet to learn anything about prices or availability, but we can expect to hear more when LG showcases the new QNED TVs at CES next month.
