Starting in May, LG’s 2025 lineup of QNED Evo premium LCD TVs will be available for purchase, following an initial unveiling at the end of 2024, ahead of CES. Notably, the flagship QNED9M is the first QNED (Quantum Nano-Emitting Diode) TV that can utilize LG’s True Wireless technology to wirelessly transmit and display 4K content, a feature that was previously exclusive to the company’s more premium OLED TVs.

Although LG is perhaps best known for its OLEDs these days, the fact that the wireless functionality it first introduced in 2023 with the Zero Connect Box is now being made available to its more affordable LCD sets demonstrates that the company has not forgotten about these models. According to LG, with devices such as game consoles or set-top boxes connected to the external box, users can expect to transmit 4K content at up to 144Hz with no latency or loss in picture and audio quality. This is a significant advantage for those who dislike clutter, as the only cable that needs to be plugged into the TV itself is the power cord. It’s worth noting, however, that models with screen sizes of 55 inches or less have a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz.

The QNED Evo lineup is powered by LG’s Alpha AI processor, which provides enhanced performance and efficiency. Additionally, the updated TVs benefit from LG’s Dynamic QNED Color solution, which replaces quantum dot technology and produces more vivid and lifelike colors. QNED TVs combine quantum dot and nanocell technology with Mini LED backlighting that employs thousands of dimming zones, resulting in brighter images and higher contrast compared to traditional LCD panels, although they still fall short of the self-lit pixels found in OLED displays.

The new AI Magic Remote that comes with the TV has a dedicated AI button, which, when pressed, allows users to make personalized voice requests. The built-in AI technology can also adjust the TV settings according to individual audio and visual preferences, enhance faces and key scene elements, and produce virtual 9.1.2 surround sound from the built-in speakers.

The TVs also function as smart home hubs, offering multi-platform connectivity through LG ThinQ and Google Home, as well as AirPlay and Google Cast from iPhone or Android devices.

The refreshed QNED Evo models will be available in sizes ranging from 50 to 100 inches and are set to launch in the US next month, although prices have not been announced yet.
