Saturday night, lights down, and the opening scene of a film floods the room with colour. The LG QNED evo QNED83 in Charcoal Black is built for that moment, pairing a 55-inch 4K Mini LED panel with Dynamic QNED Color Pro, which LG states is certified for 100% colour volume. Behind the glass, the Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 upscales lower-resolution content and remasters HDR, while webOS 26 and its AI Hub put Multi AI Search, AI Concierge and AI Voice ID within easy reach. Gamers get a native 120Hz panel with VRR up to 144Hz, while FILMMAKER MODE keeps films true to the director's vision.

What Our Specialists at AD Rate Most
Our team keeps coming back to the Mini LED backlight paired with Dynamic QNED Color Pro, which gives this 55-inch panel a depth and richness of colour that stands out in a busy living room. Add a native 120Hz refresh rate with VRR up to 144Hz and AMD FreeSync compatibility, and it is just as convincing on a console as it is with a film.

Mini LED Picture with Dynamic QNED Color Pro
At the heart of this television is a 55-inch 4K QNED Mini LED panel with a resolution of 3,840 x 2,160 pixels. A Mini LED backlight sits behind the panel, and Dynamic QNED Color Pro is, according to LG, certified for 100% colour volume; LG notes its colour gamut volume is equivalent to or exceeds that of the DCI-P3 colour space. HDR10 and HLG are both supported for high dynamic range broadcasts and streams, and FILMMAKER MODE with Ambient Light Compensation presents films as the director intended while adjusting for the light in your room.

Alpha 8 AI Processor and AI Sound
The Alpha 8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 does the heavy lifting behind the scenes. AI Super Upscaling works on lower-resolution sources so that older programmes and standard broadcasts look closer to 4K, AI Picture Pro fine-tunes the image, and AI HDR Remastering adds a further layer of HDR processing to the picture. Audio comes from a 20W 2.0 channel down-firing speaker system, where Alpha 8 AI Sound Pro and a Virtual 11.1.2 channel up-mix spread dialogue and effects wider than the cabinet itself. For those who want more, an optical audio output and eARC on HDMI 2 make it simple to connect a soundbar.

webOS 26 and the AI Hub
webOS 26 is the smart platform, and its AI Hub brings together Multi AI Search with Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot, AI Concierge and AI Voice ID. LG Shield security looks after the platform in the background. Getting connected is straightforward with Wi-Fi 5 or the Ethernet port, and Bluetooth 5.3 is also on board. Standby power sits under 0.5 W, and the set carries an F energy class for SDR viewing and G in HDR, with on-mode power measured at 74.7 W in SDR and 122 W in HDR.

Built for Gaming at 144Hz
Gamers are well served. The panel refreshes natively at 120Hz and supports VRR up to 144Hz, so fast movement stays smooth when paired with a capable PC or console. Its three HDMI inputs support 4K 120Hz, VRR, ALLM, QMS and QFT. AMD FreeSync compatibility and HGiG are both on the feature list, Motion Booster 288 is there for fast-moving titles, and a USB 2.0 port and CI slot complete the connections.
