Product Overview

LG QNED MiniLED 90 is a premium 4K mini-LED TV in LG's new QNED lineup. Compared to the range-topping QNED99, the QNED90 is 4K-only, loses the α9 processor, and downgrades the WiFi and speaker setups, though its panel uses the same QNED technology that retains all the advantages of NanoCell technology and adds Quantum Dot technology and Mini LED backlighting on top.

The NanoCell technology features nanoparticle filter that modifies the RGB wavelengths to produce richer, more realistic colors, while the Quantum Dot technology uses quantum dots to produce RGB backlighting. By combining the two with Mini LED full-array backlighting, the QNED panel is able to offer the best contrast, dynamic range, and color reproduction available in any LCD on the market today.

Additional benefits of the QNED technology include slim profile and minimal bezels.

Now more than ever, LG is pushing for pushing its smart TVs for productivity and gaming. The QNED MiniLED 90 supports G-Sync and FreeSync Premium from the get go and drives its gorgeous panel at 120Hz native refresh rate. There is also a planned update in late 2021 to make this TV compatible with Stadia cloud gaming.

Besides the QNED90, LG has also introduced several other models in the NanoCell lineup at CES 2021.
