In 2022, LG has expanded its lineup of 4K UltraHD TVs LG QNED Mini LED.\u00a0The 2021 models have been updated, but fundamentally new series have also been added.\u00a0There are also new functions, along with an upgrade of the main ones.\u00a0This, for example, support for the Wi-Fi 6 standard in the older QNED lines, and also the Always Ready option (Always ready).<\/p>\n

The appearance of TVs has not undergone significant changes, the user interface has evolved (now it is\u00a0webOS 22\u00a0instead of webOS 6.0) and the processor, which is already represented by the fifth generation.\u00a0So, we will not set our task to identify any special differences between LG QNED 2022 and 2021.<\/p>\n

Our task is to find out how the 2022 QNED LG TVs differ from each other.\u00a0This should help those who are planning to buy LG QNED.\u00a0Recall that QNED technology uses NanoCell technology together with Mini LED blue backlight.\u00a0This makes it possible to significantly reduce the size of the backlight LEDs, while multiplying the number of zones for adjusting their brightness.<\/p>\n

LG QNED TVs differences (2022)<\/h2>\n

Despite the differences, there are many points where LG’s 2022 QNED TVs are the same.\u00a0Let us briefly dwell on the most important of them.\u00a0Firstly, they all run on the webOS 22 smart platform, which means that they support smart home, voice control, multimedia functions, and a USB camera.<\/p>\n

Secondly, all QNED models work with static HDR modes, namely HDR10 and HLG.\u00a0In terms of image processing, QNED TVs use the same color enhancement algorithms and have an identical set of display modes.\u00a0All have 10-bit color depth.\u00a0There are no differences between them in terms of television reception.\u00a0Now let’s move on to the main thing – the differences between QNED.<\/p>\n

Matrix and backlight<\/h3>\n

The top three series of LG QNED99, QNED96 and QNED95 are 8K TVs with a resolution of 7680 \u00d7 4320. The remaining models have a resolution of 4K UltraHD 3840 x 2160. But something else is important here.\u00a0In the younger series, LG began to use, in addition to IPS matrices, VA.\u00a0These are the LG QNED82,\u00a0QNED81\u00a0and QNED80 series.\u00a0True, 86\u2033 TVs still use IPS panels.<\/p>\n

The main idea behind the creation of QNED TVs was to use Mini LED backlighting.\u00a0In 2021, all LG QNEDs only had mini LED backlighting.\u00a0But 2022 was marked by the appearance of Edge Lit side lighting, again in the LG QNED82, QNED81 and QNED80 TV series.\u00a0With LG\u00a0MiniLED\u00a0QNED, they are united by the presence of quantum dots and NanoCell technology.<\/p>\n

There are differences between QNED 2022 in the way the backlight is localized or local dimming is implemented.\u00a0LG QNED99, QNED96 and QNED95 implement the Precision Dimming Pro + full-matrix backlight control algorithm.\u00a0The LG QNED91, QNED90, QNED87, QNED86 and QNED85 series use Precision Dimming Pro with fewer dimming zones.\u00a0Dimming Pro local dimming is also available in the LG QNED82, QNED81 and QNED80 side-lit series.<\/p>\n

Processor and screen refresh rate<\/h3>\n

All QNED 8K series are based on the \u03b19 Gen5 AI 8K intelligent processor.\u00a0The LG 4K QNED uses its counterpart \u03b17 Gen5 AI 4K.\u00a0The difference is due to the fact that A9 processes 4 times more information than A7.\u00a0The screen refresh rate of almost all QNED LG 2022 is 100 \/ 120 Hz.\u00a0The exception is the LG QNED96 and QNED95 series.\u00a0Their panels are updated at a frequency of 50 \/ 60 Hz.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

What is the difference in QNED 2022?\u00a0Firstly, the sound scheme, secondly, the power of the audio system, and finally, Dolby Atmos support.\u00a0In the three junior series, this atmospheric technology is not supported, and the total power of the two-channel sound circuit is 20 watts.\u00a0The top-end LG QNED99 TV has a total power of 60 W and a 4.2 channel circuit.\u00a0All other models implement a 2.2 channel circuit with a power of 40 watts.<\/p>\n

Connections<\/h3>\n

Basically, the LG QNED switching circuit is repeated from series to series, but there are quantitative and some qualitative differences.\u00a0Let’s start with the fact that all QNED 4K have two HDMI2.1 connectors and two HDMI2.0 connectors.\u00a08K models are different.\u00a0LG QNED99 has all HDMI 2.1 connectors, while QNED96 and QNED95 have only four HDMI2.0 connectors.\u00a0All 4K QNEDs have 2 USB 2.0 ports, and the 8K QNED versions add one more USB 3.0 port.\u00a0Plus, QNED 8K TV works with WiFi6.<\/p>\n
