CES 2024 is less than 2 weeks away and the eCoustics team will be in Las Vegas to bring you the latest in loudspeakers, soundbars, AVRs, headphones, and TVs. LG has a substantial lineup of new OLED as well as mid-range and high-end LCD-based TVs to unveil this year, which they refer to as QNED TV.
QNED TVs combine an LCD panel with LED backlighting, Quantum Dots, and LG’s Nanocell technologies.
Select QNED models also include Mini LED backlighting with Precision Dimming technology for enhanced control of dark and bright objects on the screen. Non-mini LED QNED models also use local dimming technology but with standard LED backlighting. Although not as precise, the result is still good for many viewers.
Tip: Information on LG’s 2024 OLED TV line is still forthcoming.
2024 LG QNED TVs
Screens for All: LG’s 2024 QNED TVs offer a broad range of screen sizes, ranging from a smaller 43 inches to a whopping 98 inches! (depending on model series). There is a screen size to match any room environment and consumer preference.
LG’s QNED TV line includes the following series/models:
- QNED99T (8K – QNED Mini-LED, offered in 86 and 75-inch screen sizes)
- QNED90T (4K – QNED Mini-LED, offered in 86, 75, and 65-inch screen sizes)

Key Features
AI-Powered Performance: LG’s QNED99T series will be powered by LG’s top-of-line α9 AI Processor and the QNED90T and 85T will be powered by an updated α8 AI Processor. This provides a 1.3-fold increase in AI performance, a 2.3-fold enhancement in graphic performance, and a 1.6 times faster processing speed than the previous version. The QNED80T will use LG’s α5 AI Processor.
AI Picture Pro: This feature distinguishes faces, objects, and backgrounds within a scene, enriching the texture and fine details to present images with unparalleled realism.
Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro: This feature splits the picture into blocks and analyzes each in real-time to detect the darkest and brightest areas, elevating details with precise HDR optimization.
Personalized Picture Wizard: This feature enables users to further customize image quality by selecting a few preferred images from a given selection that are intelligently set up through deep learning.
AI Sound Pro: This provides viewers with up to 9.1.2 channel virtual surround sound from the TVs’ built-in speakers. In addition, LG’s WOW Orchestra feature integrates select LG Sound Bars with the TV’s speakers, providing a more immersive 3D sound experience.
WebOS: Just like other LG smart TVs, the QNED line incorporates the webOS smart TV platform – in this case WebOS 24. This provides access to abundant streaming content (including LG Channels) and voice control, as well as allowing users to create individual profiles to tailor the viewing experience to their preferences. The TVs can differentiate between voices based on user profiles and offer personalized recommendations by interpreting patterns from their comprehensive usage history.
Within WebOS, Dynamic Q Card provides fast and easy access to its services, with the customized organization into groups, such as Home Office, Home Hub, Sports, and Games.
Tip: LG 2024 QNED TVs also support Apple AirPlay and Chromecast for enhanced convenience in connectivity and compatibility with mobile devices.
