LG Electronics (LG) is rolling out its 2026 QNED evo Mini LED lineup, led by a new 115‑inch model. The new lineup combines ultra-large screen sizes with AI-based picture and sound technologies to support sports viewing, gaming and home entertainment on a larger scale.
Richer Colors and Deeper Contrast for Immersive Viewing
This year, QNED’s picture quality is advanced by Dynamic QNED Color Pro and Precision Dimming Ultra.
Dynamic QNED Color Pro1 optimizes color mapping, helping maintain rich and accurate tones even in bright HDR scenes. Certified by Intertek for achieving 100 percent Color Volume,2 this wide color gamut coverage enables faithful color reproduction on bigger QNED evo screens, amplifying impact when watching bright sports scenes or gaming.
Powered by LG’s α (Alpha) 8 AI Processor Gen 33 this year’s QNED evo delivers high-quality visuals on screens up to 115 inches with vivid brightness, color and detail across ultra-large displays. Leveraging 13 years of LG OLED leadership, the AI processor lends its OLED light control capability to QNED.
Enabled by this advanced processing, Precision Dimming Ultra4 orchestrates thousands of local dimming zones, precisely controlling light to reveal fine detail in dark scenes while keeping bright highlights crisp. It also delivers deeper blacks and cleaner highlights for stronger contrast, preserving depth even in shadow-heavy scenes on larger screens.
AI‑Driven Upscaling and Image Refinement for The Big Screen
The AI processor also powers a suite of intelligent enhancements designed to elevate the viewing experience. AI Super Upscaling5 analyzes on-screen objects with deep learning algorithms and refines texture, edges and fine details to produce more natural-looking 4K visuals that stay crisp on larger screens.
AI Picture Pro identifies and enhances faces, bodies and other key elements to improve perceived depth and detail. Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro6 analyzes each frame to refine resolution, brightness and clarity. Complementing these picture enhancements, AI Sound Pro immerses viewers in virtual 11.1.2 channel surround sound, providing clearer spatial separation and a more immersive soundstage through the TV’s built-in speakers.
Stadium‑Scale Sports Viewing with Real‑Time Updates
With the webOS 26 smart TV platform, the 2026 LG QNED evo TVs help users keep up with live sports with a suite of versatile features, bringing a more connected and personalized way to enjoy sports matches.
Sports Portal provides a centralized hub with live content, scores, match schedules and league standings, letting sports lovers check key information without switching apps or inputs. Sports Alert7 allows users to receive notifications for selected teams and leagues, including score updates, match results and upcoming games.
Key stats such as match progress and game‑result predictions can be easily checked through an on‑screen AI Concierge card, helping users stay updated on multiple games at once.
Smooth, Responsive Gameplay for Big‑Screen Immersion
The latest QNED evo TVs also include gaming features designed for fluid motion and responsive gameplay.
Supporting variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 165Hz,8 AMD FreeSync™ Premium9 and Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM), QNED TVs optimize motion clarity so that rapid in-game action stays sharp, highly responsive and free of lag. The new Motion Booster raises the refresh rate to an ultra-fast 330Hz10 on supported models, significantly reducing motion blur and delivering exceptional visual smoothness during fast-paced shooters and racing titles where split-second responses matter.
As an all‑in‑one platform for gamers, LG Gaming Portal11 provides access to thousands of cloud gaming services and native web games.
AI‑Driven Personalization, Secured by LG Shield
LG’s webOS 26 platform also adds AI-based personalization features to the 2026 QNED evo lineup. With Voice ID, the TV can recognize individual users to automatically load their personalized My Page home screen. AI Concierge provides context‑aware suggestions and quick access to helpful functions based on current viewing activity.
