Why you should buy the 86-inch LG 80 Series 4K QNED TV
While OLED TV and QLED TV picture technology likely remain the best picture quality you can get in a television, LG has stepped into the picture with its QNED picture technology. The major difference when it comes to QNED is in the dimming zones. QNED can’t quite reach the deepest, darkest blacks that you’ll find in the best OLED TVs because it utilizes dimmable light bulbs, but picture quality could remain unnoticeable to many viewers, as this LG QNED TV packs its own punch with Quantum Dot NanoCell color technology. This delivers rich, accurate colors that create a lifelike viewing experience no matter what you may be watching.
