According to our television expert
More detail in older images: the built-in a7 AI Processor 4K Gen6 upscales the resolution of older content to 4K.
Realistic HDR images: you can watch realistic HDR images on this TV thanks to the 10-bit screen.
See every detail: thanks to the 4K resolution, you can see every detail in your favorite movies and series.
Black parts aren't always truly black: due to the Edge-Lit Local Dimming, black parts of the image aren't always truly black.
Images aren't always smooth: the TV has a 50Hz refresh rate, so images aren't always smooth.
Image quality is the biggest asset, but not OLED-level. After two weeks of testing the LG QNED 65QNED82, the image quality is good, but not outstanding. While my old OLED TV achieved deep black levels, the backlight on the QNED clearly shines through, especially in dark scenes, creating a grayish-blue cast instead of true black. Colors are bright and the details are beautiful, but the contrast can't compare to OLED quality. However, the screen is bright in daylight and suitable for watching TV in a brighter living room.
Sound leaves much to be desired. The sound quality is the biggest drawback. Voices are still clearly audible, but as soon as you watch a movie with lots of effects, explosions, or ambiance, you immediately notice the lack of bass and depth. This causes the audio to lack warmth and power. For a truly good experience, I recommend connecting an external soundbar or speaker system, as many other users have mentioned.
Usability compromised by privacy and advertising What really bothered me were the very strict terms and conditions you have to accept to use the smart features. As a consumer, you're not allowed to install your own apps, and LG pushes a lot of advertising onto the TV. The fact that I could see how much data was going to advertising networks and LG itself via network traffic was annoying—fortunately, you can technically block this with a DNS filter, but this isn't an option for average users. The pressure to accept terms and conditions and tracking are serious drawbacks for me. Moreover, the extra buttons on the remote control for services I don't use are unnecessary and sometimes annoying to accidentally press.
Menus and settings - chaos for advanced users, ignorable for regular users The menu is extensive, but in my opinion, confusing. This won't matter to the average user, as they probably won't adjust anything except the volume, but if you enjoy tweaking settings, it can be a maze. While there are many options, it lacks a logical structure. This makes the device less appealing to users who do want control over their devices.
Price/quality - only the price is convincing The LG QNED 65QNED82 is attractively priced: you get a large screen size and modern features for a relatively low price. However, the price doesn't justify the limitations in the picture quality (compared to OLED), mediocre sound, and annoying advertising. In this price range, there are other models from competing brands that score better on ease of use, sound, or privacy. Therefore, I would only recommend this TV to those who are purely looking for the size and basic picture quality.

After our old television broke (only two years old), we started looking for a replacement. AND boy, what a replacement this is! First of all, what a whopper of a TV. A huge difference from what we were used to (49 inches), now 65 inches. After installing the TV, which was very easy and I even managed to do it myself, we weren't entirely thrilled with the picture quality at first. Everything was dull and blurry, until we started tweaking all the settings. And guess what, since we did this, every movie or series we watch is so sharp. And then there's the refresh rate! That took some getting used to for us too. Everything flows so smoothly. Our eyes had to adjust for the first few days, but after that, it's so much fun watching TV. Another fun gimmick is the magic remote. It allows you to use the remote as a mouse. Once you get used to this, you'll use it more often.
What's really great about this LG TV is that you can organize your most frequently used apps in a specific order. This means you'll never have trouble finding your favorite apps again. This also applies to your HDMI ports and USB connections.
The downside to the apps, in my opinion, is that they don't open very quickly; there's a bit of a delay. This is something that needs some improvement. Furthermore, the sound is okay, but if you want a more immersive sound experience, you should definitely consider a soundbar or surround sound system.
