![]() ![]() Much more significant than the 8K pixel count, it turns out, is the 75QNED99’s Mini LED lighting. Unless, anyway, you’re trying to watch grubby, heavily compressed standard definition sources – which surely you will be trying to do as little as possible if you’ve spent big on an 8K TV. The miserable upscaling often witnessed with early HD TVs back in the day has definitely not continued into the 8K world, despite the monumental volume of extra pixels the 75QNED99 is having to ‘calculate’. This is the same processor we’ve already seen working to great effect on LG’s 2021 OLED TVs – though optimised for LCD screens, of course. In the 75QNED99’s case, the upscaling system comes courtesy of LG’s new, AI-toting Alpha 9 Gen 4 processing engine. Probably the main reason to consider an 8K TV now, though, is that provided its image processing is good enough, it can increase the dots per inch with which 4K sources are presented, making pictures look more three-dimensional and ‘real’. There are a few more 8K sources supposedly in the pipeline (though they’ve been stuck in that pipe for quite some time now). This may be controversial for some why bother with an 8K TV when aside from a few YouTube videos native 8K content is practically non-existent? The 75QNED99’s features read like a checklist of all the most important cutting edge features currently sweeping the TV world.įor starters, it sports a native pixel count of 7680 x 4320, making it an 8K rather than 4K TV. The IPS panel would also usually mean, though, that it struggles when it comes to handling dark scenes and contrast – but maybe the Mini LED technology will have something to say about this. This means it can support wider viewing angles than most TVs that use the alternative VA panel. Like pretty much all LG LCD TVs, the 75QNED99 uses an IPS panel. This, presumably, is a benefit of the switch to Mini LEDs. The set is also impressively trim round the back, despite using a direct lighting system that positions its LEDs behind the screen rather than around its edges. I suspect this will actually suit many potential buyers just fine, though. ![]() Nor is it much of a show off, taking a less is more approach with its super-thin frame and elegant crescent stand. The 75QNED99 isn’t quite as robustly built as some of the flagship TVs we see these days – including LG’s OLED models.
