LG's bet on the giant screens with Mini LED technology This takes a further step in Europe and, especially, in Spain, in a context where European television broadcasters are calling for clear rules for Smart TVs.The company has unveiled its new family of televisions. LG QNED evo Mini LED 2026, a range that stretches up to 115 inches and combines large diagonals with a remarkable deployment of artificial intelligence for image, sound and user experience.
Far from being a mere show of force, this QNED evo line arrives to fill a very specific gap: those looking for a high-end LCD/LED television With plenty of brightness, good contrast, and all the modern features of an advanced Smart TV, but without making the obligatory leap to OLED. All this with a clear focus on home cinema, sports and video games, three uses that are now prevalent in many European salons.
A range that goes up to 115 inches
The model is at the center of the advertisement QNED90 115-inch, the largest television in LG's current catalog, a figure also matched by the competition with 115 inch screensWith a diagonal of nearly three meters, it is clearly aimed at those who want to set up something similar to a cinema screen or a small “VIP box” to follow football, other sports or video game matches on a grand scale.
Below it is the QNED85 100-inchDesigned as a "home cinema" option for users who prioritize the cinematic experience but don't need the largest screen size. Further down the scale are the QNED82 and QNED80 series, aimed at demanding daily use, and the series QNED70 Mini LED, which combines a generous diagonal with a more affordable price for a general audience that wants to make the leap to big screens without breaking the bank.
The family thus covers sizes ranging approximately from 70 to 115 inchesThis range reflects a clear trend: the average size of televisions in Europe has continued to grow, increasing by approximately 1,2 inches per year, according to industry data. The arrival of a 115-inch model is not so much an eccentricity as the logical consequence of this trend. push towards ultra-large formats in the premium segment.
LG positions this QNED evo Mini LED series as its high-end within LCD/LED technologyThis is positioned just below their OLED TVs, which remain at the top of their product range. The message is clear: to offer a very ambitious alternative for those who want huge screen sizes, high brightness, and advanced features, but not necessarily OLED technology.
Mini LED, Dynamic QNED Color Pro and Precision Dimming Ultra
Beyond size, these models emphasize the picture qualityLG uses technology Mini LEDs with thousands of light emitters and dimming zones to improve brightness and contrast control compared to a traditional LCD. Building on this foundation, the brand adds two key components: Dynamic QNED Color Pro y Ultra Precision Dimming.
Dynamic QNED Color Pro takes care of optimize color distribution in each scene, relying on the Alpha 8 Gen 3 processor. According to LG, the system is capable of achieving a 100% color volume in the DCI-P3 color space, something that has been certified by Intertek. In practice, the goal is for tones to remain accurate even in very bright HDR scenes and, especially, on larger screens, where imperfections are much more visible.
Precision Dimming Ultra takes care of the other major front: the local dimmingBy coordinating thousands of independent lighting zones, this technology aims to offer Deeper blacks, cleaner lights, and less haloing around bright objects (the so-called blooming), one of the sensitive areas in large LCD panels. The goal is to improve both dark scenes and content with high dynamic range and high contrast.
With this set, LG is trying to position its QNED evo Mini LED 2026 as a solid option for those who prioritize a high brightness and large diagonalsThis is especially relevant in bright living rooms or spaces where a very large OLED screen might be more expensive or difficult to justify.
Alpha 8 Gen 3 processor and AI for image and sound
The technical heart of the range is the Alpha 8 Gen 3 processorThis chip, inherited from the manufacturer's OLED lines, manages both the image and a significant portion of the artificial intelligence functions. It's this processor that allows for maintaining visual quality on large screens without sacrificing brightness or color fidelity.
Among the functions linked to AI, the following stand out AI Super UpscalingThis feature analyzes on-screen elements using deep learning algorithms to improve sharpness, textures, edges, and fine details, especially when upscaling non-native content to 4K resolution. This assistance is crucial on such large models, where any shortcomings in the source are immediately noticeable.
The function AI Picture Pro It works on more than 2.000 independent zones (2.040 in some models) to identify faces, bodies, and relevant objects, giving them more depth and detail. Alongside it, it acts Dynamic Tone Mapping Prowhich analyzes each frame and dynamically adjusts brightness, contrast, and clarity, trying to get the most out of the screen's range without losing information in shadows or highlights.
In terms of sound, LG is betting on AI SoundProa system that generates a virtual environment of 11.1.2 channels using the TV's own speakers. The idea is to offer a wider soundstage with better channel separation without forcing the user to initially invest in a soundbar or external system, although the brand also promotes complementary solutions for those who want to go a step further.
webOS 26, multi-AI and profile personalization
The other great pillar of this generation is WebOS 26The latest version of LG's Smart TV platform. In these QNED evo Mini LED TVs, the operating system focuses on a more personalized experience, with user recognition features and recommendations tailored to each profile, something that is becoming almost essential in homes with multiple viewers.
One of the most striking new features is Voice IDwhich allows the television recognize who is speaking and automatically load your profile with lists, settings, and preferences. This way, the screen adapts the suggested content and some settings without needing to manually switch users.
It also comes into play AI conciergea recommendation system that relies on viewer activity to suggest content, shortcuts, and, in the case of sports, statistics and predictions related to the matches being followed. This layer is complemented by the multi-AI capabilities of webOS 26, which integrate Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot for real-time queries, information searches, or contextual help while navigating the interface.
In terms of security, LG introduces LG Shield, a solution based on advanced encryption that seeks to protect user data and reinforce the television's position as connected device within the digital homea response to Common problems with Smart TVsFurthermore, the company promises up to five years of free updates of the operating system, a relevant detail at a time when the longevity of the software is beginning to matter as much as that of the hardware itself.
Live sports and features specifically for football fans
With the 2026 World Cup on the horizon and a potential audience of several billion people, LG is clearly thinking about those who use TV as Main screen for sportsThe QNED evo Mini LED 2026 integrates several tools geared towards this audience within webOS 26.
On one side is Sports PortalA unified hub that brings together live sports content, schedules, times, results, and standings from various leagues and competitions. This way, users can follow the day's events without having to jump between different apps and channels in a disorganized way.
In addition, the function sports alert It allows you to configure custom alerts for specific teams and tournaments, so the TV sends notifications when a match is about to start or when a relevant event occurs. For the most dedicated fans, AI Concierge adds an extra layer with progress data and statistics, as well as predictions of results that accompany the broadcast.
The combination of screens up to 115 inches, AI systems for image fine-tuning, and these specific tools makes the QNED evo Mini LED range a proposal designed for transform the hall into a kind of “mini stadium”This fits with the brand's strategy for upcoming major sporting events.
Gaming features: VRR, FreeSync and Motion Booster
The gaming audience also plays a significant role in this generation. The new LG QNED evo Mini LED 2026 incorporates support for variable refresh rate (VRR) up to 165 Hz, compatibility with AMD FreeSync Premium y Automatic Low Latency Mode (ALLM)which reduces response time when a console or game is detected. In this context, other manufacturers offer screens with 4K and up to 144 Hz.
In some models, such as the QNED90, technology comes into play. Motion Booster, capable of carrying the effective frequency up to the 330 Hz in specific situations. This function is designed to smooth the movement in very fast scenes, such as racing games or competitive shooters, reducing blur and improving the feeling of fluidity.
In addition, the brand includes the LG Gaming Portal, a platform that centralizes access to cloud gaming services and native web titles, partially eliminating the need for additional hardware such as the Chromecast TV streamerIn practice, this allows the television to function as gaming entertainment center even for those who don't have a console or dedicated PC.
