About the LG 65QNED85UQA

Emily S.

Incredible contrast and color

Until last year, the very best LED TVs used an advanced type of backlight called full array with local dimming (FALD). Mini LED TVs take this already-excellent panel technology to another level with a dense array of significantly smaller LEDs for super-precise light control. This breakthrough technology is now in its second generation in 2022 models like the 65QNED85UQA. This 65" set features Precision Dimming to improve contrast and minimize “blooming” — or those pesky halos you sometimes see around bright objects on dark backgrounds.

    LG QNED Series: The LG QNED Series TV combines a full-array Mini-LED backlight system with LG's Precision Dimming technology, as well as Quantum Dot and NanoCell Color technologies, plus an IPS panel to deliver enhanced brightness, deeper black, brilliant color, and extreme clarity from practically any viewing angle. Thanks to LG's state-of-the-art NanoCell color and Mini-LED backlight technologies, the new QNED Series TV truly provides an excellent 4K/HDR video image with stunnig life-like images.

    • Full-Array Mini-LED with Precision Dimming: The LG QNED Series TV features a Full-Array Mini-LED backlight system with LG's Precision Dimming technology higher peak brightness, deeper blacks, and greater precision and detail than an average LCD TV. Each LED is under 300um in size (that's 1/40th the size of conventional LEDs) allowing more lights to fit into the screen. Thanks to these smaller, densely packed Mini-LEDs, the LG QNED TV can achieve ultra-sharp contrast through precise control of multiple unique dimming blocks. The smart Precision Dimming technology uses deep-learning algorithms to map and send object information to individual dimming blocks to create sharper, more natural images while minimizing halo effect. The result is a greater level of detail and more accurate color reproduction.
    • Quantum Dot NanoCell Color Technology: Quantum Dot NanoCell Color Technology delivers a more stunning picture with the combined power of both NanoCell and Quantum Dot. This unique combination of technologies improves color reproduction to create richer and more accurate colors. The Quantum Dot NanoCell display technology reveals a billion lifelike colors, 64x richer than conventional TV. The result is dramatic, enhanced picture quality at wider viewing angles to give you an incredible cinematic experience. Even at full brightness, colour doesn’t look washed out on LG QNED TV thanks to 100% Colour Volume. Certified by Intertek, the display can express the full DCI-P3 spectrum across a 3D color space covering the full luminance range, so you can enjoy more shades of rich, accurate color no matter how bright or dark the display.
    • IPS Panel: LG's IPS (In-Plane Switching) panel makes any seat the best in the house, with a clearer and more consistent image at wide viewing angles compared to conventional screens. IPS delivers authentic colors, virtually identical to the original image - even from a 60-degree angle. Witness colors as true-to-life as nature intended, vibrant across even a large screen, with the stunning clarity of 4K resolution.

    a7 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K: The QNED TV is powered by LG's powerful a7 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K for superior picture quality. The a7 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K offers a host of technological advantages including deeper blacks, enhanced image rendering, improved shadow details, and accurate color from wide viewing angles.

    • Advanced Color Enhancer: The Advanced Color Enhancer utilizes advanced color mapping technology to effectively correct any color distortions and delivers a picture that is accurate, natural, and lifelike.
    • Double Step Noise Reduction: The a7 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K creates a clearer image with LG's own Double-Step Noise Reduction processing technology by reducing grain and banding noise better than many other conventional televisions.
    • Sharpness Enhancer: The a7 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K's Sharpness Enhancer boosts fine detail and texture by accentuating the edges of the object in the picture. This creates greater depth, exceptional details, and more realistic pictures

    AI Picture Pro: AI Picture Pro heightens picture quality with its deep learning algorithm (developed from a vast database of over one million visual data) which recognizes content source quality and determines the best upgrade method for optimal visual output. In addition to content source detection, a (Alpha) 7 Intelligent Processor (Gen 4) finely adjusts the tone mapping curve in accordance with ambient conditions to offer optimized screen brightness; leveraging its ability to understand how the human eye perceives images in different lighting. The processor uses the TV's ambient light sensor to measure light levels, automatically adjusting brightness to compensate as needed. The LG QNED TV also offers 4K AI Upscaling, Filmmaker Mode, and Dolby Vision IQ.

    • 4K AI Upscaler: The LG QNED TV has a display resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 (4K) and will display all video at that resolution through its built-in AI upscaler, regardless of input signal. 4K provides four times higher resolution than current 1080p high-definition TVs with a total of 8.3 million pixels. Its detail is so vivid and crisp, even when viewed from close distances; it's nearly impossible to discern a single pixel, even from inches away. Enjoy incredibly flawless images, vivid colors, and picture details as never before. More benefits of Ultra-HD 4K include -
    • Filmmaker Mode: The Filmmaker Mode provides optimized cinema picture quality certified by UHD Alliance, the standard setting body for UHD-related technologies. The UHD Alliance Filmmaker Mode lets you see a director's vision for his or her movie by translating the director's cinematic vision to the TV with automatic picture and processor settings that deliver true authenticity.
    • Dolby Vision IQ: Dolby Vision IQ combines the dynamic metadata found in Dolby Vision content with the LG QNED TV's embedded light sensor and AI technology. Dobly Vision IQ will automatically adjust picture settings for your Dolby Vision content depending on your room's ambient lighting conditions and content genre.

    Cinema HDR with Dynamic Tone Mapping: Thanks to the LG's Cinema HDR Technology and Dynamic Tone Mapping, HDR video content is precisely optimized with the correct amount of brightness and contrast, so all types of HDR content can be displayed beautifully. HDR (High Dynamic Range video) reproduces a greater dynamic range of luminosity or brightness levels, bringing greater contrast & wider color spectrum to the screen. This increased contrast reveals the subtle nuances of the image, from detailed blacks and shadows to the brightest whites and colors, plus greater depth. Previously hidden areas of dark shadow and sunlight are now full of clarity and detail. Compatible HDR formats include -

    • Dolby Vision: Dolby Vision Content has dynamic metadata that is produced during content creation, capturing the dynamic properties of each scene. This dynamic metadata is used to optimize the picture brightness curve on a frame-by-frame basis. Dolby Vision is the preferred HDR format by major Hollywood Studios and delivers the cinematic experience the creator intended by optimizing the picture frame-by-frame.
    • HDR10: HDR10 is an open standard and currently the most popular HDR format on the market. It supports 10-bit color and 1,000 nits. It uses static metadata at the start of a movie to tell the receiver and your TV that the video content is encoded using HDR.
    • HLG: HLG (Hybrid-Log Gamma) is primarily designed for live video feed and over-the-air broadcasts. It uses no pre-encoded metadata and is backwards compatible with SDR. HLG's native compatibility allows much of today's existing SDR infrastructure to be re-used for HDR in the future.

    High Frame Rate (HFR) + TruMotion 240Hz: The a7 Gen 5 AI Processor 4K is designed to support high frame rate (HFR) for producing smoother and clearer motion images at 120 frames-per-second (fps) for better rendering of fast-action content such as sports and action movies. In addition, the TV employ's LG's LG's proprietary TruMotion 240Hz backlight scanning system to further enhance the TV's 120Hz native panel refresh rate to reduce blur and yield crisper details; even during the most high-action sequences - from sports to action movies. You can select between 5 TruMotion modes - Off, Smooth (softens fast-moving pictures), Natural (natural motion), Clear (makes fast-moving pictures clearer), or User (manually adjusts judder / blur / motion).

    Note: Only the TV's HDMI 3 input and HDMI 4 input supports HFR @ 120Hz.

    Game Optimizer: The LG QNED Series offers ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), HGiG (HDR Gaming Interest Group) and VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) with support of AMD FreeSync for an optimized gaming experience. ALLM lets the TV automatically recognize when a gaming console or gaming PC is connected and in use. HGiG is a HDR gaming profile that enables the the TV to render images the way they were intended to be seen by the creator. VRR with support for AMD FreeSync delivers smooth action gaming with less studdering and tearing from PC games, as well as Xbox One X and Xbox One S game consoles.

    HDMI 2.1/2.0B: The LG QNED Series is equipped with four HDMI inputs. The HDMI 3 and 4 inputs support the HDMI 2.1 specification, while the HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 support the HDMI 2.0b specification. The HDMI inputs not only allow you to connect your Blu-ray/DVD player or Satellite/Cable receiver to the TV, but also a laptop or computer.

    • 4K/120Hz: The HDMI 3 and 4 inputs support 4K/120Hz. All HDMI inputs also support 4K (60Hz), 1080p (60/24Hz), 1080i, 720p, and 480p video signals. None of the HDMI inputs support 480i video signals.
    • HDCP 2.2: HDCP 2.2 is supported by all of the TV's HDMI inputs. HDCP 2.2 is short for "High bandwidth Digital Content Protection" and is used for 4K video copyright protection for compatibility with 4K Blu-ray players and 4K Satellite/Cable providers.
    • 4:4:4 Color Subsampling: All of the HDMI inputs will support up to 4:4:4 chroma subsampling for full color data rendering of 4K video. With 4:4:4 color, luminance (brightness) and chroma (color) are sampled at the same rate, resulting in an RGB color palette as big as the video sampling rate for a video image with more total colors, plus greater color accuracy and detail. You will need to enable this feature in the menu. 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 are also supported by any of the HDMI inputs, by default.

    Note: There are no analog composite or component video inputs.

Both of these features are only available when using the TV's internal speakers.

    eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel): The Enhanced Audio Return Channel within the television's HDMI 3 input enables the TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an AV receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your AV receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. eARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your eARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI eARC input.

    • The TV's HDMI Inputs and LG Store apps (like Netflix or Vudu) can be output as Dolby Atmos, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby Digital, or 2ch PCM.
    • The audio from the TV's tuner and USB ports can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM.
    • DLNA compliant devices will output audio at 2ch PCM only.

    Notes: 

    • Your AV receiver or soundbar will also have to support eARC (Enhanced Audio Return Channel) to accommodate the playback of these high resolution audio formats. If your AV receiver or soundbar only supports ARC (Audio Return Channel), audio playback will be limited to Dolby Digital and 5.1ch/2ch PCM.
    • This TV does not support DTS audio formats.

    Digital Audio Output: The optical digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the tuner, network apps, HDMI inputs, and USB ports on the TV. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via stereo RCA.

    • You can choose to turn the television speakers off or leave them on with the TV's optical digital output active.
    • The optical digital audio output cannot be used simultaneously with the TV's HDMI eARC.
    • The optical digital audio output does not support DTS audio formats.
    • This TV does not offer an analog audio output

    Built-In Bluetooth: The LG TV offers built-in Bluetooth with support for Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP), Bluetooth Surround, and Bluetooth Receiver mode.
