Compare LG QNED92A vs Samsung U8000F

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.

Picture quality splits opinion: crisp, natural-looking SDR images win praise, but weak brightness, restrained color, and uneven dark scenes stop this from feeling like a premium 4K screen.

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

SDR remains dim by bright-room standards, even when the most luminous preset is selected.

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

Low-bitrate streaming artifacts are not cleaned up particularly well; blockiness and pixelization can remain visible.

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.

Small bright details struggle to stand out in HDR. This is not a strong choice for the brilliant highlights associated with premium HDR displays.

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

White balance and color temperature can be very good in SDR, though some settings or models lean too cool and dark.

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.

HDR10+ playback is supported, but real HDR impact is often underwhelming because highlights are dim and color lacks pop. Standard mode receives better comments than Filmmaker Mode in some sizes.

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

Contrast is more convincing in some VA-panel tests than in IPS examples, yet still lacks the separation and depth of stronger backlit TVs.

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

Abrupt changes between bright and dark shots can provoke distracting backlight pumping that settings do not fully eliminate.

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

Daytime visibility is a weak point: brightness and reflection handling often fall short when the curtains are open.

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.

Without effective local dimming, darker parts of mixed-brightness scenes can appear gray, and backlight behavior may be distracting. Avoid expecting distinct bright highlights against deep blacks.

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.

Adaptive Sound can tailor the tonal balance usefully to a particular room, even if it cannot add much raw speaker power.

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 often clean, balanced, and better than expected for a budget set, but it lacks the weight and output of a proper sound system.

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 brightness is the most persistent weakness, particularly under strong ambient light or in HDR. A few owners find it sufficient for ordinary evening television.

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

The audio has pleasing balance and occasional directional width, but it does not deliver a powerful cinematic soundstage.

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.

Casual 60fps play is responsive enough, but motion blur and restricted image performance keep gaming from being a standout strength.

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.

Some VA panels look reasonably convincing for evening films, but clouding, shallow blacks, and dimming behavior limit serious dark-room appeal.

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

SDR images can look impressively faithful, especially in Movie or Filmmaker presets. HDR accuracy is less convincing, with some samples showing cooler, less natural colors.

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

Bass tends to be shallow or only adequate, leaving action and music less full-bodied than a separate soundbar can provide.

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

Detailed textures and fine edges are a strength for the price, especially with good-quality 4K or HD sources.

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

Standard-definition-range picture quality is frequently balanced and natural, especially in carefully chosen presets.

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.

Standard mode looks best to several testers; other presets offer accuracy but can dim or flatten the image, making adjustments a tradeoff.

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.

Natural SDR colors and convincing skin tones are recurring strengths, although HDR color errors, blue casts, and panel differences leave accuracy uneven overall.

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.

Motion results vary considerably, from pleasingly smooth after adjustments to noticeable blur and color trails in fast action.

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

Input lag is consistently very low, giving button presses an immediate feel even on this inexpensive 60Hz set.

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

The basic menus are approachable and common adjustments are accessible, despite some delays during navigation.

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

The speakers avoid obvious buzzing and crackling even as louder effects play, an advantage at this price.

All four HDMI ports offer the full bandwidth needed for demanding consoles and PCs, a major advantage over two-port rivals.

All three HDMI ports lack full 2.1 gaming bandwidth, constraining configurations that need 4K at 120Hz.

The optional motion-blur reduction mode has precise timing at 60Hz and 120Hz without obvious image duplication.

Black-frame insertion produces distracting image duplication and flicker, limiting its usefulness for cleaning up motion.

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

Anyone used to 120Hz or faster screens will notice the 60Hz limit, which makes this a poor upgrade for competitive high-refresh play.

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

The Gaming Hub is useful for consolidating sources, but the more capable Samsung Game Bar and its overlays are absent.

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

Black shading is relatively even on some screens, while other samples show visible clouding in dark scenes.

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

Motion adjustment can improve judder on some samples, but other testing finds interpolation inconsistent or ineffective.

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

Picture calibration can improve accuracy, but achieving the best results can require extensive tweaking or prove frustrating.

Compatibility with G-SYNC improves variable-refresh gaming for supported PCs.

G-SYNC-compatible VRR behavior is limited by the TV's narrow refresh range, so it is less helpful than on a proper gaming display.

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

The full-button remote offers more direct controls; the smaller smart remote is easier to hold but more minimalist.

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

Basic VRR is present on several models, but the narrow operating range means its practical improvement is limited.

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 rear-facing connections can require extra clearance or right-angle cables.

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

HDR colors lack the depth and brightness of more advanced displays, with some rich shades looking muted or flat.

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.

VA versions can give dark scenes reasonable depth, especially in Standard mode, but black areas can turn gray when brighter objects enter the frame. IPS examples struggle more with dark blacks.

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

Game Mode keeps controls feeling snappy, though it cannot fix sluggish pixel transitions or the modest HDR picture.

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

Slow pixel transitions are a drawback for sharper fast-paced gaming and sports, especially on the tested 60Hz panel.

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

Wide-set, minimally adjustable feet can demand a broad cabinet and complicate soundbar placement.

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

The limited gamut reduces saturation and HDR impact, even though colors often look balanced in regular SDR viewing.

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

Bright reflections remain conspicuous in harsher rooms, despite one more favorable appraisal of the screen's coating.

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

Bright HDR highlights may lose subtle shading or simply lack enough luminance to stand out.

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

The lightweight cabinet is easier to handle, but larger models still benefit from help during unboxing.

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

Speaker volume suits many everyday rooms, but reviewers disagree about its headroom and several find it too quiet for large or noisy spaces.

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

Native 24p material can play smoothly, but some sources or settings introduce visible judder that requires tuning.

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

Dialogue remains easy to follow at normal volumes, making ordinary television and conversational shows comfortable without extra speakers.

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

Overhead lights may be tolerable, but windows and direct reflections can make the dim picture harder to enjoy.

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.

Large uniform fields reveal uneven shading, side bands, or vignetting on some screens, which can distract during sports.

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

The feet slot into position quickly and securely, making assembly easier than screw-fastened stands.

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

Most gradual shading is acceptable, but dark gray and green gradients can reveal visible bands.

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

Off-center picture quality depends on panel type: VA samples lose contrast and shift color at the sides, while one IPS version fares much better.

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

A mild dirty-screen effect and patchiness are visible in tests, though several reviewers find them less noticeable with real content.

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.

Backlight flicker could trouble sensitive viewers, with behavior varying by mode and brightness setting.

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

Samsung TV Plus offers a convenient no-extra-subscription stream of channels, including programming beyond the major paid services.

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

Gradients are generally smooth for the price, with only moderate banding showing up in select dark colors.

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

Rear-facing HDMI ports make wall-mounted devices and cables harder to connect cleanly.

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.

Opinions span from a very satisfying bargain to a disappointing entry-level set. The divide largely comes down to expectations for brightness, contrast, and picture quality.

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

PC text is generally readable with full chroma support, but the BGR subpixel arrangement may cause issues in certain desktop applications.

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

Film-like frame rates can avoid micro-judder, which helps slower cinematic scenes feel steady.

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

Rapid action can lose fine detail or look smeared, even though some reviewers find the motion quite acceptable for normal television.

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

Natural skin tones and balanced SDR color help ordinary images look believable, though cooler HDR colors can undermine that look.

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.

HD sources upscale respectably and often look clean, though the result can seem a little soft. Very low-resolution streams remain the weak point.

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.

Lower-quality broadcasts may preserve jagged edges, blocks, or softness; HD input fares much better than 480p material.

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

Included remotes are generally usable and comfortable, though the basic models omit conveniences such as a microphone or solar charging.

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

Home-screen advertisements cannot be completely removed, even though targeted advertising can be disabled.

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

Blooming is not a major annoyance on the tested VA model, although that reflects its simple, globally lit design rather than precise local dimming.

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

The supplied legs hold the panel securely without elaborate mounting hardware.

The Mini LED body is relatively bulky compared with slimmer alternatives.

The television can look slim from the front, but its thickest rear sections are less elegant than premium designs.

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.

Shadow visibility varies with picture mode and screen version. Some tests praise preserved dark-scene detail, while others find shadowy areas hard to distinguish.

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

Auto low-latency switching is a useful convenience, putting the TV into its responsive game setting when a console starts.

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

Permanent image retention is an unlikely concern with this direct-lit LCD panel, even during prolonged static-image use.

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

There is little help for tidying cables behind the set, particularly when several external devices are connected.

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

Long-term dimming risk appears relatively low for this direct-lit LCD design, although component failures remain possible.

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

Missing HDMI 2.1 bandwidth limits access to higher-refresh 4K modes, though casual users may not miss it.

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

The available HDR formats provide basic compatibility, but limited luminance and missing Dolby Vision reduce the appeal for format-focused viewers.

FreeSync support adds convenient VRR compatibility for Xbox and gaming PCs.

FreeSync-style variable refresh can help in a narrow band, but dips below the supported window can still show tearing.

Games at 4K look colorful and responsive, with current-generation consoles supported at 120Hz.

The TV can display 4K game signals at 60Hz, but not the high-frame-rate 4K modes of newer gaming displays.

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 is unavailable, so services and discs using that format cannot use its dynamic metadata here.

LG promises several years of major webOS upgrades, improving the platform’s longevity.

A software refresh brings the newer One UI interface; the experience can still be less responsive than on pricier Samsungs.

Midtones can be slightly crushed even while shadow details appear controlled. Bright HDR mastering levels can affect the smoothness of highlight roll-off.

Tone mapping works surprisingly well on some samples in Standard mode, but other settings flatten highlights, shift shadows, or clip bright detail.

The narrow screen borders help put the focus on the image, though the frame remains slightly noticeable in some settings.

Narrow bezels make the screen look relatively modern, although a small inactive border remains visible on some versions.

Fit and finish are generally good, but plastic materials and some rear-panel flex lower the premium feel.

Build quality is mixed: inexpensive plastics and flex bother some testers, while others find the lightweight body adequately sturdy.

Thin bezels create a clean, modern front, with sturdy metal touches. The plastic back and somewhat bulky body are less luxurious.

Its restrained design and thin bezels look tidy from the front, while plastic details and a bulky rear lower the premium impression.

The US range offers several large-screen sizes, letting buyers match the screen to the room and seating distance.

Screen sizes run from compact bedrooms to very large living-room options, giving buyers considerable size flexibility.

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