What's the Difference Between QNED and OLED TV?

Unlike traditional LED or LCD screens, OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panels are self-emissive, meaning each pixel emits its own light. This allows OLED TVs to achieve perfect blacks and an infinite contrast ratio, as individual pixels can be turned off completely.

QNED is LG's premium LCD brand designed to enhance colour accuracy and brightness. QNED delivers vivid and lifelike colours thanks to LG’s proprietary colour technology which adds various colour solutions to nano particle based technology.

Enhanced Colour Accuracy: Dynamic QNED Colour solution in select models replaces quantum dots for enhanced colour reproduction, while all 2025 QNED TVs are verified for 100% Colour Volume.¹

 

Improved Brightness: The MiniLED backlighting in top QNED TVs allows for higher peak brightness, making them ideal for bright rooms. 

 

Better Handling of Reflections: Increased brightness and colour performance help minimise reflections and glare in well-lit spaces.

 

Diverse screen sizes: QNED TVs are available in a wide range of screen sizes, from 43" to a massive 100", allowing customers to find the perfect fit.

Design: The LG OLED G Series designed to harmonise with your space. Its thin profile and narrow bezels create a flawless look, and the included slim wall mount hangs the TV close to the wall, with minimal gap.² The build quality is top-notch, using premium materials to ensure a modern and sophisticated look.

 

Picture Quality: Equipped with OLED evo technology, the G Series offers brighter images and more vibrant and accurate colours than non-LG OLED evo models. The self-emissive pixels provide perfect blacks and an infinite contrast ratio, ensuring outstanding picture quality. Plus, the G Series maintains wide viewing angles on an anti-glare screen, delivering consistent quality from any position.
