Overall rating

LG QNED91T is the only MiniLED-backlit TV from LG for 2024 that catches the eye with its innovative use of a VA panel. This is certainly a departure from the established standards of the Korean manufacturer with its top-tier LCD TVs, which typically used an IPS/ADS panel. But the result is positive – the panel combined with local dimming offers really good contrast. Blacks are deep and should satisfy most users. LG 65QNED91T6A is a very bright TV, so placing it in slightly challenging lighting conditions will not pose a challenge for it. In terms of motion fluidity, the QNED91T shows top class. The TruMotion feature works great, allowing for image adjustment according to personal preferences – from a classic, cinematic look to a more fluid effect. And the 120Hz panel makes it ideal for sports or gaming. For the latter, LG has prepared something special – four full HDMI 2.1 ports with a bandwidth of 48 Gbps, allowing for features like VRR and ALLM (and more). This, combined with low input lag, makes this equipment an excellent choice for gaming on a console or PC. Daily use of QNED91T is pure pleasure, mainly thanks to the WebOS system. The interface is intuitive, there's no lack of applications, and the Magic Remote included in the package significantly simplifies navigation through the menu. Operation is fast, and using the TV is comfortable thanks to the voice assistant. Unfortunately, the TV also has its weaknesses. Despite the advantages of the VA panel in terms of high contrast, the algorithms responsible for local dimming of the miniLED zones do not perform very well. In HDR content, there are situations where the picture is either too bright or excessively dark, which is particularly problematic in scenes requiring precision. Additionally - in practice, the differences between standard HDR10 and Dolby Vision are nearly invisible. This is a significant disappointment, especially in this class of TV. Nonetheless, the LG QNED91T is an interesting choice for those who need a TV with high brightness, considerable gaming capabilities, and appreciate the convenience of the WebOS system. If the priority is picture quality in HDR content, such as Netflix, Prime Video, or Max, we recommend considering alternative models, such as OLED B4 from the 2024 line, which is available for a similar price.

Visibility of details in the lights:

QNED91T is a television with MiniLED backlighting, and in the tested size of 65", we counted 160 local dimming zones. The unit we tested, with a "1" at the end, is equipped with a VA panel, which offers significantly better contrast than IPS panels, which - note - can be found in the model LG QNED90T. Therefore, it's wise to be cautious when choosing a version to avoid disappointment regarding contrast. The model QNED90T is rather hard to acquire in Poland, but distribution can vary. Returning to our contrast tests, it performed really well in less demanding scenes. For example, in one of the scenes from the movie "Oblivion," we observed perfect separation of lights - it looked impressive. However, not everything is so straightforward. In a scene from "Sicario 2," we noticed that the screen was noticeably darker, deviating significantly from the reference image appearance. The television effectively eliminates the halo effect (i.e., the glow around objects), but this comes at the cost of brightness - and quite a considerable one at that. Despite these compromises, the contrast of LG 65QNED91T6A is genuinely solid. Of course, as is the case with MiniLED televisions, some limitations must be taken into account, but the overall impression is very positive.

As befits a MiniLED television, LG QNED91T easily exceeds the magical barrier of 1000 nits on the luminance chart. In scenes where light played a key role, the effect was truly commendable. For instance, 1000 nits in the first scene of "Life of Pi" is a really impressive value, and the achieved 600 nits in the third and fifth scenes allowed for a true sense of HDR magic. However, problems arise with very small light elements on the screen, such as the moon, street lamps, or lights. Values around 100 nits - to put it bluntly - are disappointing, as these elements are so dark they are barely visible. The television deserves praise for covering 96% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut and 75% of BT.2020. LG QNED91T leaves us with very mixed feelings, mainly due to the very aggressive dimming algorithms which, while effectively eliminating halo effect, do impact the brightness of smaller elements.

Scene from the movie “Pan” (about 2800 nits)

Scene from the movie “Billy Lynn” (about 1100 nits)

In this test, we check the capabilities of the television to adapt the image in very challenging movie scenes. The first scene, from the film "Mr", was mastered at 4000 nits, and in this scene, 2800 nits were achieved. Here, we can see the well-functioning dynamic tone mapping feature - the image is not overly darkened, and the background effects are clearly visible. Compared to the reference monitor, it can be noted that the mid-tones are slightly boosted but within reasonable limits. Meanwhile, in the scene from the film "Billy Lynn", which is not as demanding, the image looks decent, with quite good colour accuracy, but compared to the reference display, it appears to be tonally brightened. As we mentioned earlier, this is thanks to the well-functioning dynamic tone mapping feature, which we definitely recommend enabling.

HDR luminance chart:

LG QNED91T supports various HDR formats, including the most popular HDR10 and dynamic metadata in the form of Dolby Vision. Typically, it works such that depending on the signal played on the screen, the image changes according to the codec used. However, in this case, we are quite disappointed – we did not notice any adaptation from 65QNED91T6A. Whether we enabled static HDR or dynamic Dolby Vision, the screen looked identical. Interestingly, even after turning the dynamic tone mapping feature on and off, the effect did not change at all. If we consider the tested scene with horses, the image can appear exceptionally attractive due to the high brightness of the television. Even with the entire screen flooded with light – where snow plays the role of a bright element – the device manages reasonably well in retaining details. However, it’s worth noting that the television struggles to adapt its algorithms to different types of HDR. It’s clear that something in this aspect has not been adequately refined.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

8.5/10

The gradation on LG QNED91T looks very good. There are only slight cutoffs in the brightest scenes, but the television handles blacks very well, providing smooth tonal transitions. As a result, the image is natural and pleasant to the eye, with no visible issues.

Smooth transition function

Image without overscan on the SD signal

When it comes to tonal transitions in lower quality materials, the television offers a well-known feature from LG TVs - "Smooth Gradation". We can control it at three levels: low, medium, and high. We recommend using the medium option, as it handles tonal transitions well without causing noticeable issues with removing the structure of objects or other artifacts.

On the other hand, when it comes to image scaling (upscaling), LG's Alpha processor performs quite well here. The image appears very smooth, with slight jaggedness in some elements, but this does not significantly affect quality. It looks really good, and the overall effect is very satisfying.

Brightness drop with BFI: 51%

The television has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which should satisfy most users in terms of motion smoothness. Additionally, QNED91T is equipped with TruMotion technology, which allows for smoother image display in films. With this feature, we can adjust the "De-Judder" and "De-Blur" sliders. The "De-Judder" slider reduces stutter in films, which is particularly useful when playing content with a lower frame rate, while "De-Blur" helps to reduce motion blur in fast scenes, which is important for sports or dynamic shots.

Blur (native resolution, maximum refresh rate):

Blur (BFI function enabled):

Motion blur on the QNED91T looks quite good, and while it may not match the level of OLED TVs, it is fully acceptable motion blur typical of VA panels with fast pixel response. Additionally, the TV is equipped with a BFI function, which does quite well at reducing motion blur. The image doesn't flicker like on most TVs, but you need to be aware of a significant drop in brightness, even by 50%.

The LG 65QNED91T6A television is equipped with HDMI 2.1 ports with a full bandwidth of 48 Gb/s, providing full support for all the standards needed for gaming on modern consoles. We can count on variable refresh rate (VRR) support and automatic low latency mode (ALLM). This ensures smooth gameplay without delays.

Thanks to support for all popular HDR standards in gaming, such as HGiG and Dolby Vision, we can fully utilise the potential of the PS5 and XBOX One consoles. The television also easily handles lower resolutions than 4K, so even older consoles look good on it. The Game Bar makes it easier to access gaming-related settings, allowing us to quickly and intuitively adjust picture parameters and features for gamers. Additionally, the QNED91T offers NVIDIA GeForce Now functionality, allowing us to play in the cloud without needing a console. However, it's important to keep in mind that this solution is quite costly and somewhat falls behind the Xbox Game Pass, which is available only on Samsung televisions.

QNED91T LG is a great choice for both less experienced and more advanced gamers looking for a versatile television for gaming.

Input lag

9.8/10

Input lag on QNED91T is really very low, even in Dolby Vision mode. This means we can expect a quick response time, which is very important in fast-paced games, where every millisecond counts. Regardless of whether we are playing in standard mode or HDR, the television offers very good results that will satisfy even the most demanding gamers.

The very low input lag makes gaming with a personal computer a real joy. The TV supports chroma 4:4:4, which provides excellent text readability. While we did notice slight blurring of fonts around the edges, overall the image looks very good, and readability is at an acceptable level.

Viewing angles

3.4/10

Brightness drop at an angle of 45 degrees: 69%

As we mentioned in the paragraph about contrast, the television is equipped with a VA panel, which generally offers very good contrast compared to IPS panels. Unfortunately, VA panels have their weakness in the form of limited viewing angles, which is also evident in the case of QNED91T LG. The viewing angles here are not the best, and while the use of an angle-enhancing coating could significantly improve the situation, unfortunately, we don’t have that here. As a result, the picture loses quality when viewed from a greater angle, which can be problematic when more people are watching at the same time.

Black levels during daytime: Good

The TV LG 65QNED91T6A is equipped with a satin panel, which handles direct light reflections, such as from lamps or wall sconces, moderately well. In the first test photo with a large lamp, you can see how the reflection "spills across the screen." However, the QNED91T makes up for it in terms of brightness - an average SDR brightness of 580 cd/m² is sufficient for watching television even in more challenging lighting conditions. Because of this, despite issues with reflections, the TV performs well during the day.

The most important thing in today's televisions, apart from picture quality, is the operating system. The one available in LG models is really very good. Of course, we're talking about the WebOS system, which offers most of the popular apps available in Poland, much like GoogleTV. What sets this system apart is primarily the excellent remote control with an accelerometer - the Magic Remote, which resembles a magic wand. Controlling with this remote is incredibly convenient. Additionally, the television offers a very good voice assistant that understands Polish perfectly.

In terms of user features, the television offers practically everything one could wish for. Here we find the ability to record programs from built-in tuners, support for AirPlay to connect an iPhone, and a mirroring function. We can easily connect keyboards, mice, or headphones, although keyboards are not essential thanks to the handy Magic Remote. Unfortunately, the PiP (Picture-in-Picture) feature is missing here, but it's such a specific function that only those who really need it will feel its absence. The QNED91T is a television that does not disappoint when it comes to daily enjoyment of its use.
