LG Electronics has announced its 2026 QNED evo Mini LED TV lineup, and the headline is clear. Bigger screens are the focus this year, led by a new 115-inch model aimed at people who want a cinema-like setup at home.
The new range is powered by LG’s α8 AI Processor Gen 3. It handles picture and sound processing, using AI to improve sharpness, brightness, and detail. LG is also bringing some of its OLED-style light control techniques to QNED, which helps manage how light is distributed across the screen.
On the display side, LG is using Dynamic QNED Color Pro to improve color accuracy, especially in HDR content. The company says the panels are certified by Intertek for 100 percent color volume, which means colors stay consistent even on very large screens. Precision Dimming Ultra is another key part of the setup. It controls thousands of dimming zones to improve contrast, making dark scenes look deeper while keeping bright areas clear.
There are also several AI-based enhancements. AI Super Upscaling sharpens lower-resolution content for 4K screens. AI Picture Pro focuses on improving faces and main subjects, while Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro adjusts brightness and contrast frame by frame. For sound, AI Sound Pro creates a virtual 11.1.2 channel output using the TV’s built-in speakers.
The TVs run webOS 26, which adds a stronger focus on sports. The Sports Portal collects live matches, scores and schedules in one place. Sports Alert sends updates for selected teams, and an AI Concierge card shows match progress and predictions on screen.
Gaming features are also a big part of the update. The TVs support VRR up to 165Hz, along with AMD FreeSync Premium and Auto Low Latency Mode. On select models, Motion Booster pushes refresh rates up to 330Hz to reduce blur in fast games. LG Gaming Portal gives access to cloud gaming services and web-based titles.
LG is also adding personalization features like Voice ID for user profiles and AI Concierge for content suggestions. Integration with Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot allows users to search or ask questions directly on the TV. LG Shield handles security with built-in encryption.
The lineup includes models such as the 115-inch QNED90, 100-inch QNED85, and other options like QNED82, QNED8M, QNED80, and QNED70. The TVs will roll out first in Korea, the United States, and Europe, with more markets expected later this year. The pricing of these TVs is expected to be revealed in the coming days.
