LG QNED80 Series 55-Inch Class QNED Mini LED Smart TV 4K Processor Smart Flat Screen TV for Gaming with Magic Remote AI-Powered 55QNED80URA, 2023 with Alexa Built-in,Black

We purchased this LG TV to replace another brand that was only 5 years old, with a good picture but the sound went bad. This LG has a great picture. I don't hate the smart remote :) but we mostly use the Spectrum remote anyway. My suggestion to LG is .... at the very top beginning of the set up paperwork, please Remind the purchaser to write down the model number and serial number off the back of the TV before setting it up ! If set on the wall, impossible ! Ours is on the legs on a stand high against the wall and it was very difficult to move it out and read the numbers. We are happy with this TV and will buy LG again !

I wanted a very large HDTV. Check. I didn't want to go OLED as I had several plasmas and remember ghost images that were hard to go away due to "slight" burn-in. Check. I had read enough about the new very small nano LCD apertures to believe until individually addressable micro led direct view sets become affordable, LG QNED, and Samsung's similar Quantum Dot panels are the way to go. Check. I wanted brightness without crushing dark black Check. I wanted local dimming with the newer mini-led backlight technology. Check.So, I took a chance and bought this set sight unseen. I didn't make a mistake I'm happy to say. This set can work in a well lit or dark room no problem. It can make levels of black look black, and with detail so no crushing. It has almost non-existent bloom across the entire screen when displaying white letters on black background for instance. It has a modern set of specs like compatible with HDR-10/Dolby Vision. There are a few things I'm thinking are not great, but certainly not deal-breaking stuff. Things like the remote is impossible to use in a dark space (and in my case without reading glasses). The sound isn't cutting edge stuff like the Sony sets that radiate a bigger and more wide-range soundstage using the entire front of the screen...although sound is adequate for now while I'm waiting to see if I can get the new Nakamichi Dragon surround set. Overall, I'm quite pleased with this TV and I'm writing this only a few weeks after paying about $500 more than the currently offered price. The TV is good enough this doesn't even cause me a case of sour grapes, though if I could I'd return it and order it again which I can't cause I threw away the box and packing materials. But make no mistake, I'd definitely buy it again. I have had several LG HDTV's beginning with their somewhat unusual (the only one ever on the market to my knowledge) rear projected 9" CRT tube first ever HDTV then marketed under the Zenith name (a premium name they owned then). It had a great picture but developed problems with showing 720P (progressive inputs) and after repairing it twice they actually offered, and did, buy it back at over $4.5K. Now that's a stand-up company that cares about what they make and the consumer that shells out hard earned dough for their products. I recommend LG HDTV's now as well!

TV interface is badly laid out but will get the job done. Make sure to buy a Firestick if one has their own movie server. The tv itself is supposed to be capable of handling Plex movies, for example, but, my experience is: the definition will be lacking. Save yourself some trouble, by the 4K Firestick and set it up on the tv. Otherwise, you'll wonder what happened to the quality of your movies. If anyone is interested, I use MakeMKV to make a one to one copy of a movie to my server, so, it's not like I'm running some sort of compression algorithm which might be creating problems.

After over a decade with Samsung TV’s, I’mGlad I made the switch. I replaced a ~10yo Samsung 65’ with this (its smart feature has not been supported for years.This 75’ fits my wall width perfectly. It’s not too big. We don’t think our eyes are jumping fromleft to right to take it all in. I like how easily accessible the settings that I normally need to access are. I paired it with an LG soundbar, which I think it needed for regular tv watching, and two Apple HomePods when using my Apple TV.Love the brightest theme; being able to switch to the dimmer settings late at night.I don’t care how “black the blacks are”, so they look fine to me. I understand that this isn’t an OLED tv, so I didn’t compare. However, I had to tweak the settings because I found it hard to watch dark scenes on movies. I just watched a couple of YouTube videos for best settings recommendations.The price was just right for me. I don’t like spending a lot of money on TVs and I take really good care of mine. Hence, the reason my previous one lasted over 10 years.We had the TV professionally installed so that the wires were behind the wall. I installed Govee lights behind the TV. The type that have a camera & movie theater theme the changes the colors based on what’s on the screen.We’ve gotten so many compliments on the TV when people see it.4K quality viewing options look amazing on this. Non-4K viewing options clearly reveals pixels which does slightly annoy me because I’m used to 4k quality on the Apple TV.

The remote to this thing is so small and so hard to use. It uses some stupid cursor to key in data or to select choices on the on-screen menu. Probably some millennial thought they needed to change things but it was a horrible idea. Plus, there are no backlights so try using this thing in the dark. Good luck! We ended up buying a universal remote from Amazon and it works perfect now.
