Lets get the issues right out of the way.This specific model of the QNED series by LG, the QNED80 55 inch, has an edge lit panel. Meaning when trying to use the local dimming feature they so highly promote, there is a huge halo effect across the entire side of the screen that a bright image, next to black, is on.They do NOT promote the fact this model is edge lit. If you dont know much about tvs and find out the hard way, imagine lining up 6 dominos side by side. This is how a edge lit panel is made. 4-8 (idk) vertical panels behind the screen that light up the image.So when using the local dimming feature to get even just a normal black level in even most cheaper tvs, the tv must try to use a entire panel to dim a small bright image on the screen. For example, white subtitles or any white text. If your looking at a dark scene and say some white subtitles pop up, there will be a halo effect all the way up, and down, the panel that is directly behind the subtitles. The QNED 85 and above have ACTUAL local dimming with full array lighting. I got dupped.I didnt bother to get an image of it because there are plenty in other reviews and online.I did include some basic photos that I took with my Samsung s24 ultra in pro mode and tried my best to perfectly match the "look" to how it looks in real life. Theyre not 100% perfect but theyre very close to how the tv looks in real life in a low light and dark lighting condition.The tv also comes with a very low contrast ratio meaning blacks wont look that black even with all the perfect settings if you decide to disable local dimming. Disabling local dimming does, of course, fix the halo effect but then the screen becomes washed out looking in dim, dark lighting due to the native low contrast ratio. For this reason I leave it on high. High has the least amount of halo effect and 85% of the time the image looks better than when its fully disabled. So.. pick your poison.Other than that I didnt buy the tv to be an oled tv, althought some cheaper led tvs have darker blacks. I bought it to play my new ps5 on with the 120hz 4k option. Obviously there are much better options stricktly for gaming however this is still a family living room tv so I didnt want to put all the money into the gaming side of the tv. However I have loved gaming on it. Its a huge upgrade over my previous 50 inch Hisense U5. The input lag isnt as good as my 1500$ pc of course, buts its very minimal and I have gotten used to it. My pc has a 1ms input lag but if I had to simply guess, with the game optimizer options enabled, the tv probably has roughly 6-11ms of input lag. My previous tv felt like it had at least 30ms... so huge upgrade there. Games have looked amazing as well. The black issue isnt as noticeable while gaming because you dont really want a full true deep black in most titles as it makes the ability to see things a pain. So for gaming I would give it a 4 star.With that said the family loves it. My wife is super happy with it. She mainly watches it during the day as she works 1st shift and the tv gets bright and the blacks look good in a brighter room. The colors in the tv can POP too if you like a vivid bright image. Personally I like a bit more of an accurate image but sometimes a more colorful image dont hurt. The trumotion feature also adds another level of watching movies/shows/sports. Depending on the movies or shows of course. It does add a "soap-opera" effect but for anything about nature, or movies that have a lot of high quality vibrant digital effects, it looks amazing. Movies is best to either have it off or use a user setting of 1 dejudder and 0 de-blur. Everything else, the cinematic option is best.Lastly, I dont use it, but Ill include it in the review since I am a audio engineer of 15 years. The sound of the tv speakers is just OKAY. I mean it sounds a lot better than most cheaper tvs but it has a very prominent mid range that you cant really EQ out as they only provide 5 EQ slider options. This is more than a lot of tvs have but still doesnt allow you to adjust the EXACT frequency that seems to be boosted in the software. It goes 100hz, 300hz, 1khz, 3khz, 10khz. I will say the speakers do have a bit of bass though. They have a nice boom and would sound a few times better if the, in my opinion, the 2khz and 4khz frequencies were lowered a bit.There is an AI Sound option in settings/general as well which I believe adds Dolby Atmos, or something similar, to the sound. It really does "open up" the sound and I would highly recommend using this option if you use the tv speakers.I use a soundbar and the quality and connectivity has been great. 0 issues with sound at all.I hope this review helps someone decide!
