A Tale of Two Titans: OLED evo vs QNED

At the core of LG’s 2025 TV offerings are two powerhouses: the OLED evo, known for its self-lit pixel precision and cinematic blacks, and the QNED, which pushes the boundaries of LCD through Mini LED backlighting and LG’s proprietary Dynamic QNED Color technology. Though different in their technological foundations, both platforms are unified by LG’s latest Alpha AI processors and webOS 25, delivering smarter, more personalized user experiences.

OLED evo: The Gold Standard in Picture Precision

For the purist, LG’s OLED evo models now led by the G5 and C5 series are unrivaled in delivering perfect blacks, infinite contrast, and award-winning design. Powered by the Alpha 11 AI Processor Gen2, the OLED evo TVs boast Brightness Booster Ultimate, achieving brightness levels three times higher than traditional OLEDs. Certified by UL and Intertek for Perfect Black and 100% Color Fidelity, these displays promise breathtaking realism in any environment.

Gamers will especially value the OLED evo’s 4K 165Hz VRR, a world first, along with NVIDIA G-SYNC® and AMD FreeSync™ Premium certification, ensuring tear-free, ultra-responsive gameplay. Additional creator-focused tools like Dynamic Tone Mapping Professional and Filmmaker Mode with Ambient Light Compensation position OLED evo as both a home theater essential and a creator’s canvas.

QNED: Next-Level LCD with a Premium Edge

For those seeking a high-performance alternative to OLED, the QNED series delivers striking visual depth through Mini LED and Dynamic QNED Color, replacing traditional quantum dot technology. With precise light control managed by the Alpha AI processor, these TVs offer brilliant contrast and clarity, rivaling OLED’s excellence in large, well-lit environments.

The 2025 QNED models also shine in the gaming arena with 4K 144Hz support, low latency, and a built-in LG Gaming Portal featuring native apps and cloud services, no console required. And with sizes extending up to 100 inches, QNED brings ultra-large cinematic viewing to a wider audience, making it ideal for modern family rooms and smart homes.

NanoCell TV: Feel the essence of Pure Colours
