LG 86 Inch QNED99 8K Mini LED Smart TV 86QNED99TPB

Spend your money with another brand. In less than 1 month our TV no longer connects to WIFI. We have called twice to service and both times told we would hear back to schedule a service tech to come fix it. We also submitted a request thru the LG website. Never heard back. We are having to use a Firestick as a work around. The warranty is worthless because they keep you on a loop but never follow thru. But hey, of spending 45 minutes at a time on a call with chickens in the background while the humanbot makes you go thru troubleshooting each time, even if you tell them you have already done it before, is your thing- you will love LG tech support!

Bad TV and even WORSE Customer Service from LG

I purchased a 75-inch 8K TV, model 75QNED99SQB, in December 2023. Unfortunately, just three months later, the TV ceased functioning. Upon inspection by an LG technician, it was confirmed that the TV needed replacement or a refund. Surprisingly, LG informed me that they no longer produce this product. It's puzzling why they still advertise it on their website if they lack the necessary parts or no longer manufacture it. Regardless, they agreed to provide a refund. This decision was made in early April 2024, yet as of mid-May 2024, I'm still awaiting the refund without any communication from LG regarding its status. After reaching out to them, I was instructed to contact DHL to arrange for the pickup of the faulty TV. Only after the TV reaches to them they will ... MoreI purchased a 75-inch 8K TV, model 75QNED99SQB, in December 2023. Unfortunately, just three months later, the TV ceased functioning.

This service experience has been disappointing, especially considering I've been informed that the refund may take the 4-6 weeks after the TV is returned.

Breathtaking, packed full of features #LOVE!

Quick 2 person assembly using the packaging to support the screen then a few screws to affix the stand (total weight 28.5kg). Few things a must - connect via ethernet, update software and leave on auto update. For the T and C I selected ok to all, to tailor viewing recommendations. Out of the box settings were ok, but I decided to calibrate a few settings including turning energy saving mode off. When it comes down to it, its a matter of personal preference. I like changing the picture and sound mode depending on what I am watching.In order to get the best out of the QNED I upgraded to Sky Q UHD and UHD subscription. Ensuring picture and audio settings are set to UHD, to prevent any compatibility issues. Popular apps - Netflix, Disney+ and Prime TV are shortcut ... MoreQuick 2 person assembly using the packaging to support the screen then a few screws to affix the stand (total weight 28.5kg).

Ensuring picture and audio settings are set to UHD, to prevent any compatibility issues. Popular apps - Netflix, Disney+ and Prime TV are shortcut buttons on the remote. We had to download YouTube as this is a family favourite. There’s a few 8k content on YouTube, all I can say is WOW! I know at the moment there’s not much 8k content out there, but at least with the QNED99 we are future ready. It is an affordable alternative to an OLED 8k version.Currently the QNED is in a temporary position in our living room, however we will be moving to a conservatory extension (just in middle of DIY!). The slight matt screen will handle the bright light and reflections well. Also the seating in the conservatory will be forward facing. We found in the living room, the seat nearest to the the side of the TV slightly looses picture quality. Something we considered also is viewing height and distance (max 97.5”) from seating position.Gaming experience with Xbox S Console and QNED Game Optimiser is a game changer! Picture and sound quality gives insane immersion into the gaming world - not only is my son impressed, we all are! Refresh Rate 120Hz and HDMI 2.1 x 4.The gallery pictures is a nice touch, however I don’t think we will use this feature much. Maybe there’s an option to stream our own photo’s, if not - there should be!The magic remote in our opinion a feels a little too light, it does take time to get used to. However controlling the QNED with LG ThinQ app is spot on! We have had the TV for three weeks now and there still lots more to discover!

[Rewarded Review] 8K Goodness

Wow, I never thought I would own an 8K TV so soon! I literally just remember when 4K sets started to be introduced and I thought that its picture quality is going to be more than enough. And now I own an 8K Mini LED TV from LG (full model number is LG 65” 65QNED99UPA MiniLED 99 Series 8K Smart TV). At first I thought I would not even notice a difference between 4K and 8K, however I must say the image crispness and the enormous resolution is so much worth considering an 8K LG TV and in a way future proof your purchase as I do not foresee 16K sets to be introduced soon.This LG TV is considered to be LG's flagship and top of the line set in their 2021 lineup. This TV is the first one to bring MiniLED backlight technology which allows it to have greater control over ... MoreWow, I never thought I would own an 8K TV so soon!

This TV is the first one to bring MiniLED backlight technology which allows it to have greater control over the local dimming feature. The 65QNED99UPA features an IPS panel which allows wide viewing angles and low contrast, and the full-array local dimming helps improve the black level and gets closer to matching OLED black levels. I am not sure how many dimming zones LG has integrated in this TV, but the uniformity is pretty darn close and I did not notice any "dirty screen" effect. I did notice a few blooming around bright objects however I have not "broken in" this TV and with some fine tuning I believe I can eliminate most of blooming.Its design and build quality is very impressive. I like its panel, which is pretty thin and is the premium metal surrounding it stands out. If you want, it is easy to wall mount this TV and it will look gorgeous in any room.The Web OS has been refreshed and I still like its fluidity and easy to access menus. Smart platform has all kinds of popular apps like Disney Plus, Netflix, YouTube and so much more can be found in the LG Content Store. The new remote is so nice and has dedicated buttons to access the above mentioned apps. You can also use this remote to enable Google Assistant or Alexa and the built-in Mic will do the rest. There is NFC feature built-in the remote as well, so you can easily use your smart phone and cast its screen by simply tapping it on the remote. Very ingenious!Overall, I am very impressed with this TV and even though there is not much of 8K content available yet, you can enjoy beautiful 4K content upscaled to 8K and with its Mini LED backlighting, you are paying for an amazing picture quality to be enjoyed on every occasion. I received this TV at a discount in exchange for my honest review.

[Rewarded Review] 8k at its best!

The LG 65inch QNED99 is a feature packed 8k television that will be as future proof as it gets. The television is heavy, and I suggest getting help to unbox it and wall mount it if you go that route. The QNED99 comes with four full bandwidth HDMI 2.1 at 8k 60hz but keep in mind that one of the ports is dedicated to ARC/E-ARC if you have more than three HDMI 2.1 devices. The TV is very easy to set up with the new version of WEBOS compared to other brands you should have the TV running in less than five minutes. The TV supports YouTube 8k APP and I suggest updating the APP and trying some 8K content it will leave you blown away and that is just the beginning of how great this TV is showing 8k content. Now there is not a lot of 8K content out there outside of YouTube ... MoreThe LG 65inch QNED99 is a feature packed 8k television that will be as future proof as it gets.

Now there is not a lot of 8K content out there outside of YouTube APP but the QNED99 can upscale Standard Definition and High Def and 4k Content to 8k and it looks great and not washed out. The processor in this TV can handle the upscaling and keep the picture looking great. The TV does not support VRR for gaming, but I honestly don’t believe it needs it. From my gaming I haven’t experience any sort of tearing of lagging at high frame rates with my Xbox Series X and Nvidia graphics card, but I believe it would have been a great option to have on this TV and hopefully it can be added later via a firmware update. The TV does not support the new ATSC 3.0 if you are on the lookout for that spec. There is only one issue I encounter with the Television and it’s when using the Netflix app and subtitles the screen would tend to dim and bloom around subtitles but for me this is not a deal breaker because of the way the TV handles upscaling other content and gaming which doesn’t show the same issues. I believe the diming and blooming could be related to the Netflix app and LG has been constantly updating the TV. In all I would recommend this television to my friends and family that are looking for the set of features this TV offers. I received this product at a discounted rate in exchange for my fair and unbiased opinion.

Picked the 86 inch for a great price, didn't even realize it was a "true 8K" panel.I started to notice "black streaks" from the top, to the bottom in various locations across the tv,about 3 months before the end of warranty. So about 30 days before the end of warranty I contacted LG regarding the issue.They asked for pictures of the issue and then told me that an authorized repair service center would contact me with additional instructions. I was contacted the next day, the warranty center asked for pics, purchase info and informed me they would get back to me regarding the warranty.The next day they contacted me and advised me that they "would be replacing the panel", and as to what was required of me, as far as having access to the tv etc. and would set up ... MorePicked the 86 inch for a great price, didn't even realize it was a "true 8K" panel.I started to notice "black streaks" from the top, to the bottom in various locations across the tv,about 3 months before the end of warranty.

They showed up on time, verified all the necessary requirements from LG to verify the TV was legit and about an hour later BADA BING BADA BOOM! The panel was replaced, a $3,800 part according to the receipt.I have nothing bad to say about LG's customer service and this is why ALL my TV's and Monitors, along with appliances are LG products.

[Rewarded Review] Great Picture and Magic Remote is Great

I also own a 65-inch LG OLED TV and bought this QNED for a bright room. The brightness is perfect and the colors are great. The art looks beautiful on the 8k display. The Magic Remote, which I love from my OLED works exactly the same. The gyro-controlled cursor is my favorite feature. I do wish that LG would focus on a single user interface for all their TVs and keep them all updated as they age. In my opinion, the OLED has a more usable and more responsive UI than the QNED. The app support from LG is really good on both TVs. They have all the major streaming providers without the need for an external device.

[Rewarded Review] Initial reaction to LG 75QNED99

Having received the (larger than life!) product & testing it for 3 days in full (at least 10 hour usage with multiple platforms for input) I would review this product as saying it feels fairly similar to my previous 4K UHD LG TV purchased in 2017.The Dolby Atmos can only really be utilised with a good quality surround sound set up (as the TV doesn’t seem to have any inbuilt subwoofer) & the multiple options for TV modes can somewhat be, over complicated.I have tried different settings with Apple Tv, Xbox Series X & direct apps built in to the TV (webOs) however the quality (due to the input) can not really be judged at full 8k (as many providers & software do not yet output at this). I am also not as impressed as I would have expected to be (baring in mind the ... MoreHaving received the (larger than life!) product & testing it for 3 days in full (at least 10 hour usage with multiple platforms for input) I would review this product as saying it feels fairly similar to my previous 4K UHD LG TV purchased in 2017.The Dolby Atmos can only really be utilised with a good quality surround sound set up (as the TV doesn’t seem to have any inbuilt subwoofer) & the multiple options for TV modes can somewhat be, over complicated.I have tried different settings with Apple Tv, Xbox Series X & direct apps built in to the TV (webOs) however the quality (due to the input) can not really be judged at full 8k (as many providers & software do not yet output at this). I am also not as impressed as I would have expected to be (baring in mind the true price of this product) with the ‘Quantum Dot Nano Cell’ tech- or MiniLed.Overal the picture is great, and due to the size of the screen it really makes it feel like cinema (for everyday programmes & sport). The dark scenes are truly dark & the picture is crystal clear on majority of the settings / input formats tested so far. Gaming feels great (although again, can’t seem to access any 8k content as of yet (although the Dolby vision has enhanced both Xbox series x Nintendo switch ‘experience ‘- especially with the size(!)In terms of ‘out the box’ it was quite an effort for x2 delivery drivers as well as x2 adults trying to assemble. As with many LG ‘stands’ you want to make sure the product is as secure as possible (with fully screwing in the heavy base) prior to finding a table to fit the width & depth for such a heavy item(!)I think the software & user experience within the LG TV could be a bit more user friendly, and even have refreshability / demonstration modes to really ‘show off’ the full capability of the TV. I think as a 3-10 year investment, this TV will only get better over time, with the better / upgraded support in the UK for 8k input & streaming.

[Rewarded Review] What an impressive upgrade!

I got the awesome opportunity to get this TV at a discounted price in exchange of my unbiased opinion and truthful review. The LG MiniLED 99 Series 8K Smart TV w/ AI ThinQ® is as impressive as I expected it to be. LG has always come up with good quality electronics and I’ve heard of only good feedback from those who own stuff from them. This is my first LG TV and I literally could not stop talking about it to my family and friends. Material-wise, it is made of very good and sturdy quality. Setting it up wasn’t too challenging either, it came with instructions beginning from how to open the box (for ease of unboxing) to setting up the different features the TV comes with. It took me and my mom to put it on our console after propping it on the cardboard box it came to ... MoreI got the awesome opportunity to get this TV at a discounted price in exchange of my unbiased opinion and truthful review.

It took me and my mom to put it on our console after propping it on the cardboard box it came to install the stand. I appreciate this because I was hesitant at first because this task is normally assigned to my hubby but he was away and k was too excited. I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets irked by the sight of too many wires. I love that this TV comes with wire organizers. As I was setting it up I just kept on exclaiming wow and the moment I turned it on I was even more amazed. The Magic Remote is very apply named because it is in fact, a magic wand! It makes controlling so easy and I love that it also has a built in mic for our fave virtual assistant. The picture is so crisp and the colors are dynamic. The Game Optimizer was a familiar sight to see, as my LG PC monitor has it too. The AI Picture and Sound settings are definitely something to behold to as it adapts to the environment your TV is in. I would totally recommend this wonderful TV and I assure you whatever TV you have now, this LG MiniLED one is a definite upgrade.
