In 2023, LG has significantly reduced its QNED TV lineup.\u00a0All models of the 9th series have disappeared from the list – these are both 8K TVs and 4K TVs with a top-end local dimming system.\u00a0Whether this is due to tightening energy regulations in the EU or sluggish sales of expensive Mini LED models, the fact remains that only three LG 2023 QNED TV lines remain, among which the QNED75 is new.<\/p>\n

As a reminder, LG’s premium LCD TVs use Quantum Dot’s patented NanoCell Color technology to reproduce rich, accurate and extremely lifelike colors for an unforgettable and highly immersive viewing experience.\u00a0In addition, some 2023 QNED TVs have a slimmer design than their predecessors and are more compatible with LG’s new soundbars.\u00a0Below we will find out what is the difference between LG QNED 2023 TVs from each other.<\/p>\n

LG QNED TVs differences (2023)<\/h2>\n

Differences between QNED 2023 and QNED 2022<\/h3>\n

Let us briefly highlight the main differences between LG QNED 2023 and LG QNED 2022. They relate, firstly, to the development of intelligent TV functions and video signal processing algorithms.\u00a0In the new line, the webOS 23 operating system and the 6th generation of Alpha processors are responsible for this (was: webOS 22 and \u03b1 AI Processor 4K Gen5).\u00a0Secondly,\u00a0the QNED86\u00a0and\u00a0QNED87\u00a0series are equipped with QNED Million Gray Scale Block Dimming technology.<\/p>\n

These models have 64 times better contrast than their predecessors, reaching one million dynamic gradations.\u00a0Thirdly, the QNED80,\u00a0QNED81\u00a0and\u00a0QNED82\u00a02023 series have become thinner by 2 cm. This is a significant change.\u00a0Finally, the DTS decoder has returned to the QNED 2023 model.<\/p>\n

What LG QNED 2023 has in common<\/h3>\n

Before we talk about the differences, let’s note what is common to all 2023 QNED TV series from LG.\u00a0Perhaps the main thing that these TVs have in common is that all their smart functions are supported by the\u00a0webOS 23\u00a0operating system .\u00a0This includes voice control from a remote control with identical assistants, and support for LG ThinQ AI, and the new Matter smart home standard, which allows devices to interact regardless of the brand.\u00a0All TVs have the same remote control.\u00a0All have ALLM mode and the same Game Dashboard & Optimizer.\u00a0And now about the main thing: what are the differences between QNED.<\/p>\n

Matrix and backlight<\/h3>\n

All QNED 2023 series are 4K TVs, i.e.\u00a03840 x 2160. Most of them traditionally use IPS type matrices.\u00a0But the company is increasingly using VA matrices in some models, which have a much higher contrast ratio.\u00a0What are these models?\u00a0We are talking about the QNED75, QNED76,\u00a0QNED80\u00a0, QNED81 and QNED82 series.\u00a0All their TVs with a diagonal of 43\u2033 and 50\u2033 have unambiguously VA matrices.\u00a0The 65″ and 75″ models in these series can use both types of sensors.<\/p>\n

As for the backlight, only the older LG QNED85, QNED86 and QNED87 series have exactly the Mini LED backlight, controlled using the Precision Dimming algorithm.\u00a0The rest of the series uses Edge LED backlighting with the Dimming Pro algorithm.\u00a0There is an exception here as well.\u00a0Diagonal 86\u2033 series QNED81 and QNED82 work with Precision Dimming.<\/p>\n

Processor and refresh rate<\/h3>\n

All QNED 2023 TV series from LG are built on \u03b17 AI Processor 4K Gen6 processors.\u00a0The exception is the new QNED75 series, which is based on the \u03b15 AI Processor 4K Gen6.\u00a0The frequency of updating the matrix itself is distributed according to the same principle.\u00a0All panels are 120Hz, and only the QNED75 has a 60Hz refresh rate, as it was not intended to be used as a gaming TV.<\/p>\n

Video processing and HDR<\/h3>\n

In 2023, QNED Color technology is responsible for video signal processing in LG QNED TVs.\u00a0The top-end QNED85 … QNED87 uses its Pro version, which provides 100% color volume.\u00a0This means that even at maximum brightness, the colors do not lose their saturation.\u00a0In the younger series QNED75 … QNED82, the color volume is also quite decent, but dark shades are not displayed so well due to low contrast.\u00a0All QNED series work with HDR content, but Dolby Vision is only available in QNED85 … QNED87.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Here, the difference between QNED 2023 lies in the fact that LG QNED75, QNED80 and QNED81\/82 have a two-channel sound scheme (except for 86\u2033 diagonal with 2.2 scheme), while all other QNED 2023 models use 2.2CH scheme.\u00a0Similarly, the lower QNED series have a sound power of 20 watts versus 40 watts for the older series with Mini Ice, which also has Dolby Atmos support.<\/p>\n

Connections<\/h3>\n

In 2023, nothing has changed in relation to the connection scheme of QNED TVs compared to 2022.\u00a0The QNED75 series only has HDMI 2.0 ports on board because, as we mentioned above, it was not intended to be used with modern game consoles.\u00a0All other LG 2023 QNED TVs use a mixed layout – two HDMI 2.0 ports and two HDMI 2.1 ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
