Compare LG QNED92A vs LG UA77

The QNED92A usually delivers sharp, colorful, high-contrast pictures, especially with quality 4K material. The toughest dark and bright scenes expose haloing, clipped highlights, or uneven detail.

Casual viewing can look colorful and attractive, but gray blacks, weak HDR, glare and motion blur make overall image performance underwhelming.

Mini LED dimming creates striking separation between luminous highlights and dark backgrounds. The strongest scenes look remarkably close to premium LCD competitors.

Native contrast is poor, turning dark scenes flat with little separation between blacks and highlights.

Excellent SDR light output lets bright broadcasts stand out even with ambient room lighting, although darker scenes can be dimmed unnecessarily.

Basic daylight output is limited and cannot overcome strong glare. A brighter daytime preset helps only so much.

The 65-inch QNED93/QNED92 renders convincing blacks and atmospheric dark films, but some dimming behavior can crush shadow detail. Halos and banding occasionally distract from otherwise rich contrast.

Gray blacks, visible haze and low contrast make night viewing a major weakness across the family.

The panel is bright enough for many real-world scenes, especially in SDR. It is less luminous than several similarly priced Mini LED competitors.

Peak output is too low to make bright HDR highlights visually impressive.

Many bright scenes and specular highlights have satisfying punch, but peak HDR intensity falls short of the strongest TCL and Hisense rivals. Very bright scenes also reveal the TV’s limits.

HDR highlights struggle to stand apart from the rest of the image. The panel cannot deliver the luminous impact expected of strong HDR TVs.

Local dimming substantially deepens blacks and strengthens contrast, yet its algorithms sometimes crush shadows or lag behind moving objects. Performance varies noticeably with scene complexity.

There is no effective local dimming to deepen dark areas, leaving black backgrounds gray and flat.

Bright HDR films and games can look vivid and dramatic, helped by punchy color and contrast. Some scenes lose bright highlight detail or crush shadows, and competing Mini LEDs can deliver greater impact.

Measured HDR performance is flat and low-impact because of brightness, contrast and color limitations. One hands-on account enjoyed its punchier HDR colors more than expected.

Strong SDR brightness makes daytime TV generally comfortable, though direct reflections remain a potential distraction.

Brightness is not strong enough for significant direct glare, though lighter content can look acceptable and one hands-on test was satisfied.

Filmmaker Mode can look beautifully faithful to the intended image, but several default presets exaggerate color and HDR calibration leaves errors.

Default HDR color temperature and tracking have notable inaccuracies, especially an overly cool cast.

Gaming is the QNED92A’s clearest strength: four capable HDMI ports, low lag, and high refresh support make games responsive and fluid. Dark-pixel smearing and occasional HDR oddities are the main caveats.

Gaming feels responsive to some players, while slow pixel transitions and the 60Hz cap hold back more demanding play.

The many picture presets make customization possible, and accurate modes can look excellent. Some default choices run too blue or vivid, while Filmmaker Mode can dim shadows.

Cinema, Filmmaker and expert settings provide ways to tame exaggerated colors and customize the presentation.

Fine textures and edges look crisp with good source material, though bright whites or deep shadows sometimes lose subtle detail.

Fine image detail draws mixed impressions: one evaluation finds it excellent, while the 75-inch test looks soft and weaker for small text.

The 2.2-channel speakers sound thin and underpowered next to the excellent picture. Several evaluations report weak bass, poor depth, or even distortion at louder settings.

Built-in sound is functional for everyday shows but light on bass and cinematic impact. A soundbar helps substantially.

Accurate modes can render especially realistic skin tones and natural color, and SDR calibration is effective. Some default presets lean visibly blue or exaggerated, while HDR accuracy is less consistent.

Color impressions vary widely: several hands-on assessments enjoy vivid or natural colors, while instrumented HDR and white-balance results are much less flattering.

SDR can look crisp and bright, but local dimming occasionally darkens dark scenes too aggressively. Brighter programs are the safer match.

The standard and cinema picture presets look more natural than the overblown Vivid setting.

Default SDR white balance has underrepresented blues and a warmer look; HDR can skew cool. Careful tuning helps SDR considerably.

The default picture has a distinctly cool, blue bias, especially in HDR; calibration can improve it.

The down-firing speaker system has limited bass presence, leaving dramatic audio effects lacking weight.

Low frequencies are weak and lack definition; speakers can sound thin without an external audio system.

Compression smoothing does a good job hiding blockiness and pixelation in low-bitrate streams, at the cost of some fine texture.

Low-bitrate compression artifacts are reduced well, at the expense of a slightly waxy image.

Camera movement and fast action look smooth in much of the tested film and sports content. Slow near-black pixel transitions and unusual signals can expose occasional blur or judder.

The UA77 divides opinion: slow measured transitions hurt sport and gaming clarity, while some lighter motion demonstrations look smooth.

Game Optimizer delivers low controller delay, impressing several tests and making console play responsive. One tester was more cautious about demanding competitive shooters.

Low input delay is a consistent strength, making commands register quickly even when the pixels blur moving action.

webOS menus are generally approachable and customizable, even if the growing collection of AI tools adds complexity.

webOS is generally straightforward to navigate, with abundant apps and accessible everyday functions.

Off-center viewers can see a pronounced red cast and reduced contrast.

Colors stay remarkably consistent from side seats; some brightness loss remains at wider angles.

Stand installation is straightforward, although a screwdriver and sometimes a second person are helpful.

Aligning the two plastic feet can be frustrating and may take several attempts.

Deep blacks are a standout improvement over earlier LG LCDs, creating convincing nighttime scenes. Complex high-contrast images can still look raised or lose detail.

Blacks look noticeably gray instead of deep, the most consistent and consequential image complaint.

Local dimming produces a largely even black field, with slight haloing around bright on-screen objects.

Dark scenes often appear cloudy, with backlight bleed undermining black-screen uniformity.

The motion smoothing stays consistent in frame pacing and can reduce stutter with restrained settings.

TruMotion can look smoother in hands-on use, but technical testing finds inconsistent results and little improvement in stutter.

120Hz and 144Hz are useful for responsive games, although slow transitions from very dark shades can add blur.

The 60Hz panel cannot serve high-refresh-rate console or PC gaming; 4K/120fps is not available.

Colors and contrast drop noticeably from the sides, making the TV a poor match for wide seating arrangements.

Colors remain impressively stable from the sides, making wide seating the clearest picture advantage.

Upscaled imagery is usually crisp and readable, with good enhancement of shapes and text.

Soft scaling can make fine lines and small text harder to make out.

The US remote lacks a dedicated input key and number pad, requiring more steps for some everyday actions.

Traditional keys, a number pad and application shortcuts make routine control convenient.

The glossy screen creates bright mirrorlike reflections in some environments, though another test found better-than-expected glare protection. Placement matters.

The glossy coating reflects lights and windows too strongly for a consistently comfortable bright-room image.

The built-in speakers cannot play especially loudly without sounding strained.

The speakers can get reasonably loud, although high-volume compression and pumping reduce sound quality.

The US QNED92A has widely spaced feet that demand a broad cabinet, while the UK QNED93 uses a more compact center stand.

Widely separated feet require a broad console, especially for large sizes, with no narrower alternative position.

Colors are rich and often vibrant, but high-luminance saturation does not match the strongest competitors. Red and green highlights can be less intense.

Low measured color volume makes HDR hues look muted, despite positive impressions of colorful demo scenes.

Most movie and TV signals are handled without judder, though certain 25p material carried in 60p can show imperfect frame timing.

Film cadence handling varies by source: 1080i film-based content performs well, but many 60Hz external sources retain 24p judder.

The screen covers a broad range of colors, particularly in DCI-P3, although some competing flagship models cover slightly more.

The panel covers a limited range of saturated colors, especially for demanding HDR material.

VRR across modern console and PC standards keeps compatible games in sync with the display and helps reduce tearing.

VRR is a welcome addition over older entry-level models, but its narrow range cannot prevent tearing at lower frame rates.

Large sizes are heavy enough to require assistance, especially for moving or wall mounting.

The 55-inch unit feels manageable enough that one capable person can handle installation, apart from the awkward feet.

Most movie motion looks polished, yet near-black transitions and 60Hz game scenes show significant smearing in one detailed test.

Fast objects blur badly in measured testing, despite a particularly enthusiastic hands-on impression of 60fps motion.

Most color gradients transition smoothly, with only very faint bands in difficult shades.

One test sees banding in dark blue and green, while another finds smooth tonal gradients with little obvious banding.

A test pattern produced a local-dimming flicker anomaly, although it was not reproducible in normal viewing. The high-frequency everyday flicker is unlikely to be noticed.

The slow PWM dimming persists at all brightness settings, an issue for flicker-sensitive viewers.

The recessed HDMI ports can be difficult to reach after wall mounting, so connecting cables first is wise.

Wall mounting can make the central input panel hard to reach, and a rear-facing HDMI connection may need a right-angle adapter.

The brightest whites sometimes lose subtle gradients or become flat, even when overall brightness looks impressive. Less extreme highlights retain more texture.

Clipping in the brightest HDR areas loses subtle gradients and fine highlight structure.

Full chroma support helps lettering, but the BGR subpixel pattern can create visible text fringing in some desktop applications.

The picture can appear soft and make small text difficult to read, even though the TV accepts PC-friendly chroma signals.

Response is quick in brighter transitions but noticeably slow in dark ones, causing visible blur in 120Hz and especially 60Hz gaming.

Slow pixel transitions create long blurry trails, especially in shadowy fast-moving scenes.

Standard VESA mounting is available and the front looks tidy on a wall. Heavy panels and recessed sockets need planning.

Wall mounting is possible but can obstruct rear inputs, complicate cables and require careful model-specific planning.

Brightness compensates for ambient light, but direct reflections can remain conspicuous. Assessments disagree on how well the screen resists lamps and windows.

Direct lamps and windows produce distracting reflections on the glossy screen; a hands-on impression finds them tolerable in a gentler room.

Optional interpolation smooths low-frame-rate films without markedly changing their natural appearance.

Slow pixel response reduces some 24fps stutter, but slow camera pans can still show issues and blur remains.

The speakers can produce clear buzzing and crackling when pushed, undermining movie audio.

At maximum volume, pumping artifacts become noticeable and weaken audio quality.

Filmmaker Mode can present impressively accurate and cinematic images, though it sometimes darkens shadow detail too much.

Filmmaker Mode can provide a warmer, more restrained picture, but it cannot restore missing contrast or HDR brightness.

Game Optimizer achieves excellent responsiveness, with a modest decrease in brightness and occasional extra blooming.

Game Optimizer makes controls responsive, but opinions diverge on how smooth games look and black levels remain poor.

Smooth tonal fades show little obvious banding or blocking. Small imperfections are usually hard to notice.

Gradients are generally acceptable, but dark blue and green areas can show visible steps and softness.

The 75-inch IPS-based configuration appealed to one owner, while more technical assessments note that panel-type changes by size can affect contrast.

Wide IPS-like viewing is useful for side seats, but contrast can suffer, and panel variations by size complicate assumptions.

The processor keeps most 720p and 1080p material sharp and watchable, with readable text and stable motion. Particularly low-quality or noisy sources expose its limits.

The scaling picture is mixed: some HD material looks clean and detailed, but technical tests find soft edges and text.

The Magic Remote pointer makes navigation intuitive and the redesigned handset fits the hand better. Missing physical controls create some frustration.

The bundled remote has familiar physical controls but lacks voice input and the Magic Remote pointer; ease of use is otherwise decent.

A refined, feature-packed Mini LED television with consistently strong gaming credentials and an appealing picture. Its weak built-in audio, price competition, and occasional picture imperfections temper the enthusiasm.

The UA77 offers a useful low-cost screen for light viewing, but assessments range from enthusiastic budget approval to a recommendation to shop elsewhere.

Small halos remain visible around subtitles, bright objects, and moving highlights. Some find blooming surprisingly restrained, while others find the light bleed distracting.

Without local dimming zones, distinct halos are uncommon, although the entire image can look hazy and raised.

Sports fields and sweeping camera shots look mostly clean through the center, but darker edges or mild bands may appear.

One test finds distracting central blotches for sports, while the hands-on 55-inch unit looks comparatively uniform.

HD material often scales cleanly, but very rough standard-definition clips can look messy or blurry. One assessment also found disappointing noise in regular Blu-ray content.

Compression smoothing cleans up low-bitrate streams nicely, but images can appear waxy or soft at lower resolutions.

Many dark scenes reveal satisfying texture, but difficult low-light material can become muddy or over-darkened. Picture modes and scenes make a meaningful difference.

Poor native contrast loses depth in dark scenes, though one assessment finds subtle shadow gradations surprisingly well preserved.

LG’s AI Chatbot can answer TV-related queries with surprisingly good accuracy.

The built-in chatbot offers handy shortcuts into settings and app management, making troubleshooting less of a hunt through menus.

Automatic low-latency switching makes it easy to enter Game Optimizer without manual menu changes.

ALLM detects gaming and switches to a low-lag mode automatically, a useful convenience within the 60Hz limit.

SDR calibration is straightforward and produces excellent accuracy. HDR receives less benefit from calibration.

Expert controls improve color and white balance substantially, even if the panel cannot achieve excellent accuracy in every mode.

The 75-inch picture can feel especially rewarding when matched to a suitable seating distance.

The big sizes provide affordable scale, though the larger picture still has entry-level blacks and motion.

Voices are understandable at modest levels and Clear Voice Pro can lift speech. Some voice modes make the result less natural or insubstantial.

Dialogue is usable for news, but an uneven speaker response can make voices less clear than ideal.

The Game Optimizer and quick-access overlay provide valuable control over picture modes, refresh settings, and current game status.

Game Bar exposes frame rate, VRR and other settings without requiring deep menu navigation.

Some promotional banners can be disabled, but advertisements remain in parts of webOS and can feel intrusive.

Ads appear on the webOS home screen and cannot be fully disabled.

Accurate modes preserve natural skin tones, delicate color, and convincing scenery.

Flesh tones and some cinema presets can look pleasingly natural when the image is adjusted properly.

Black-field and edge uniformity are imperfect, with one detailed test finding distracting near-black vertical bands. Other assessments found much less obvious dirty-screen effect in bright scenes.

Gray-screen uniformity is inconsistent between the tested examples, with visible patches in some scenes.

The LCD panel avoids the permanent burn-in risk associated with self-emissive OLED pixels.

Direct-lit LCD construction keeps the risk of permanent static-image burn-in very low.

No dedicated cable-routing hardware is provided, leaving tidy installation to the owner.

No built-in cable-routing aids are provided, leaving exposed wires harder to organize.

LG Channels provides plenty of free viewing beyond the usual paid apps.

Bluetooth rear-speaker pairing offers a way to widen a compatible home-theater sound setup.

Compatible wired, optical and wireless speaker options broaden audio configurations beyond the built-in stereo speakers.

The panel design has low predicted risk for several typical LCD defects, though individual LED or pixel failures remain possible.

The direct-lit LCD panel has a low predicted burn-in risk, though some backlight faults could affect large areas.

Every HDMI input has full 48Gbps bandwidth, enabling high-refresh 4K devices without port juggling.

HDMI 2.0-class bandwidth limits the UA77 to conventional signals rather than advanced 4K/120 gaming.

All four HDMI ports support 4K at 120Hz, making it easy to connect modern gaming consoles without selecting a special socket.

The UA77 is a 60Hz display and cannot show 4K games at 120fps. Its gaming conveniences do not remove that ceiling.

Dolby Vision format compatibility is a welcome inclusion, but one assessment found little enhancement in its picture mode and an owner reported a connection issue.

Dolby Vision playback is not available, a drawback for viewers with Dolby Vision streaming or disc libraries.

Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG compatibility are welcomed for modern movie and streaming sources.

HDR10 and HLG cover basic HDR playback, but the lack of Dolby Vision and HDR10+ leaves important formats unavailable.

DTS decoding or passthrough support is missing, which complicates playback for some physical-media movie soundtracks.

Lack of common DTS formats makes this a less convenient match for some Blu-ray audio systems.

Its rich gaming features and polished software help justify the cost, and a few owners consider it good value. Most expert comparisons find brighter TCL or Hisense alternatives or similarly priced OLEDs more compelling.

A low sale price is the chief justification for buying it. At similar prices, stronger contrast and motion elsewhere make the value harder to defend.

The stand goes on easily and the TV’s initial setup is straightforward.

Initial software setup is quick and straightforward, typically taking only a few minutes after the stand is attached.

HDR follows the intended luminance curve reasonably well, though some midtones are too dark and clips may be truncated at peak brightness.

HDR tracking is uneven: midtones fare better than shadows, while the brightest details clip abruptly.

webOS generally navigates smoothly with responsive menus and apps.

Menu delays show up in several evaluations, but one reviewer finds app switching exceptionally quick.

Alexa and Google Assistant compatibility provide flexible hands-free controls.

Voice and pointer control require a separate Magic Remote or phone, so the bundled setup is comparatively limited.

The backlight is slow to track moving highlights, occasionally leaving a bright trailing halo or a dark leading edge.

Fast-moving edges can show minor color artifacts alongside the more obvious blur.

Protective foam and packing keep the TV securely cushioned during unboxing.

The attached power lead is inconvenient for routing and would be harder to replace than a detachable one.

A native 60Hz panel handles regular TV and conventional gaming, but it cannot meet 120fps demands.

Native 4K content can look crisp and detailed when the source is good.

Personalized AI search can target results to the viewer issuing a voice request.

The two simple feet function as a base but are awkward to align during assembly.

The support feet or center pedestal hold the screen securely despite differences in shape and footprint.

High frequencies come through clearly, although their presentation can sound thin or bright.

VRR stops being effective below roughly 48Hz, so lower-frame-rate games can still tear.

Clear Voice Pro can help speech, but AI Sound Pro often reduces focus or reveals speaker distortion. Processing cannot fully compensate for the weak hardware.

Built-in EQ presets and multiple output combinations provide extensive audio configuration choices.

The IPS-type panel favors wide viewing angles over deep blacks, an important image-quality tradeoff.

Preference-based sound tuning produces a more satisfying result than most preset speaker modes.

Minor brightness shifts can occur across cuts between bright and dark scenes.

Virtual processing can spread audio wider but often leaves it thin, vague, or lacking believable depth.

Flexible zoom options can fill the screen or accommodate different sources, although zooming in can crop part of a film.

The option to use a Bluetooth speaker alongside the TV's own speakers makes audio routing unusually flexible.

Picture menus are easy to reach, with multiple presets and advanced adjustments.

Home Hub supports connected-home devices and phone casting in a convenient shared dashboard.

webOS earns praise for its broad content access, customization, and generally smooth navigation. Advertisements and increasingly busy AI features are its main distractions.
