Overall rating

LG QNED91T is the only MiniLED backlit television from LG for 2024, drawing attention due to its innovative use of a VA panel. This is a definite departure from the previous standards of the Korean manufacturer in its top LCD televisions, which usually installed IPS/ADS panels. However, the effect is positive – the panel combined with local dimming offers really good contrast. Blacks are deep and should satisfy most users. LG 65QNED91T6A is truly a bright television, so placing it in slightly challenging lighting conditions will not pose a challenge. In terms of motion smoothness, the QNED91T shows top performance. The TruMotion feature works great, allowing adjustment of the picture to personal preferences – from a classic film look to a more fluid effect. 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 48 Gbps bandwidth, allowing enjoyment of features like VRR and ALLM (and more). This, combined with low input lag, makes this equipment an excellent choice for console or PC gaming. Daily use of QNED91T is pure pleasure, mainly thanks to the WebOS system. The interface is intuitive, there are plenty of apps, and the included Magic Remote significantly facilitates navigation through the menu. The operation is quick, and using the television is comfortable thanks to the voice assistant. Unfortunately, the television 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 the best. In HDR content, there are situations where the image is either too bright or excessively dark, which particularly affects scenes requiring precision. Additionally, in practice, the differences between standard HDR10 and Dolby Vision are almost invisible. This is quite a disappointment, especially in this class of television. Nevertheless, LG QNED91T is an interesting choice for those who need a bright television with considerable gaming capabilities and value 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 the OLED B4 from the 2024 line, which can be purchased for a similar price.

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 LG QNED90T. Therefore, it is worth being careful when choosing a version to avoid disappointment regarding contrast. The QNED90T model 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 film "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 is distinctly darker, deviating significantly from the reference image appearance. The television effectively eliminates the halo effect (i.e., glow around objects), but this comes at the cost of brightness – and quite a considerable one. Despite these compromises, the contrast of the LG 65QNED91T6A is really solid. Of course, as is the case with MiniLED TVs, one must reckon with certain limitations, but the overall impressions are very positive.

As befits a MiniLED television, QNED91T LG easily exceeds the magic barrier of 1000 nits on the luminance chart. In scenes where light played a key role, the effect was truly decent. For example, 1000 nits in the first scene of "Life of Pi" is really an impressive value, and the 600 nits achieved in scenes three and five allowed us to feel the true magic of HDR. However, problems arise with very small light elements on the screen, such as the moon, lanterns, or lamps. A value around 100 nits - to put it bluntly - is disappointing, as these elements are so dark that they are barely visible. It is worth praising the television for covering the DCI-P3 color gamut at 96% and BT.2020 at 75%. LG QNED91T leaves us with very mixed feelings, mainly due to very aggressive dimming algorithms, which, while effectively eliminating the 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 TV's capabilities for adapting the image in very challenging film scenes. The first scene, from the movie "Mr.", was mastered at 4000 nits, and in this scene, 2800 nits were achieved. Here, one can see the well-functioning dynamic tone mapping feature - the image is not overly darkened, and the background effects are well visible. Compared to the reference monitor, it can be noted that the mid-tones are slightly boosted, though within reasonable limits. On the other hand, in the scene from the movie "Billy Lynn", which is not as demanding, the image looks decent, with quite good color accuracy, but compared to the reference display, it seems to be tonally brightened. As 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 noticed no adaptation from 65QNED91T6A. Regardless of whether we activated static HDR or dynamic Dolby Vision, the screen looked identical. Interestingly, even after enabling and disabling the dynamic tone mapping feature, the effect did not change at all. If we consider the tested scene with horses, the image can appear exceptionally attractive due to the TV's high brightness. Even with the entire screen flooded with light – here, snow plays the role of a bright element – the device manages reasonably well in maintaining details. However, it is worth noting that the TV has difficulty adapting its algorithms to different types of HDR. It is clear that something in this aspect has not been sufficiently refined.

Static HDR10

Dynamic: Dolby Vision

Factory color reproduction

6/10

We conduct all our tests in the best picture mode on each TV. In this case, as usual, it is the Filmmaker mode. The name of the mode suggests perfect color reproduction; however, there were noticeable deviations from the correct image. Our unit, in terms of white balance, showed a significant drop in shades of blue - both in SDR and 4K HDR material - which caused a clear yellowing of the image, noticeable in comparison scenes from the film with Tom Cruise. As we described earlier, QNED91T has some tendencies to brighten the screen. This is confirmed by the gamma, which is significantly lower than the reference value of 2.4. On the other hand, the EOTF curve, responsible for brightness in 4K content, showed some issues with the TV dimming the image in the darkest areas, which we could observe in the paragraph describing HDR effect quality. Although the Filmmaker mode is quite a decent "out of the box" mode, it still requires some adjustments.

Color reproduction after calibration

7.8/10

LG offers advanced calibration tools in its televisions such as 65QNED91T6A, which we took advantage of. When it comes to white balance, we were able to significantly correct it in SDR content. The picture mode in 4K HDR quality posed greater challenges, which, although still not perfect, looks significantly better than before calibration. The errors on the Color Checker palette and the color palette are much smaller than in factory settings. Regarding brightness characteristics, gamma for HD content is practically ideal, with a slight exception at the end of the graph. However, the biggest issues the television had were with brightness in 4K HDR content. Analyzing the EOTF characteristics in films, we noticed that the television manipulates brightness quite significantly, which we observed in earlier tests. Brightness is considerably boosted compared to the graph in the static test, and the television brightens certain scenes to the extent that some smaller elements lose detail. Unfortunately, this is caused by the average local dimming algorithm in this model. Nevertheless, calibration yields quite decent results, especially in terms of precise color reproduction.

Smoothness of tonal transitions

8.5/10

The gradation on LG QNED91T looks very good. There are only slight cut-offs 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 noticeable issues.

Image scaling and smoothness of tonal transitions

7.5/10

OK Smooth transition function

OK Image without overscan on the SD signal

When it comes to tonal transitions in lower quality materials, the TV offers the already 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 effectively removes tonal transitions without causing noticeable issues with removing the structure of objects or other artifacts.

As for image scaling (upscaling), LG's Alpha processor handles this quite well. The image appears very plastic, with slight jaggedness in some elements, which does not significantly affect the quality. It looks really okay, and the overall effect is very satisfactory.

The television has a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which should satisfy most users in terms of motion smoothness. Additionally, QNED91T is equipped with the TruMotion feature, which allows for smoother image display in movies. As part of this feature, we can adjust the "De-Judder" and "De-Blur" sliders. The "De-Judder" slider is responsible for reducing jitter in movies, which is particularly useful when playing content with a lower frame rate, while "De-Blur" helps reduce blurriness in fast scenes, which is essential for sports or dynamic shots.

Blur (native resolution, maximum refresh rate):

Blur (BFI function enabled):

Motion blur on QNED91T looks quite good, although it may not match the level of OLED televisions, it is fully acceptable motion blur typical for VA panels with fast pixel response. Additionally, the television is equipped with a BFI feature, which does quite well in reducing motion blur. The image does not flicker like in most televisions, but one must reckon with a significant drop in brightness of up to 50%.

We can count on support for variable refresh rate (VRR) and auto low latency mode (ALLM). This ensures smooth gameplay without delays.

With support for all popular HDR standards in games, such as HGiG and Dolby Vision, we can fully harness 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 easy 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, enabling us to game in the cloud without needing a console. However, it should be noted that this solution is quite expensive and somewhat falls short compared to Xbox Game Pass, which is available only on Samsung TVs.

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

The input lag on QNED91T is really very low, even in Dolby Vision mode. This allows for a quick response time, which is very important in dynamic games where every millisecond counts. Regardless of whether we play in standard mode or HDR, the TV offers very good results that will satisfy even the most demanding gamers.

When it comes to gaming on a computer, LG QNED91T easily synchronizes with NVIDIA graphics cards and supports G-Sync. The very low input lag makes gaming with a personal computer really enjoyable. The TV supports chroma 4:4:4, which provides excellent text readability. Although we noticed slight font blurring 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 TV is equipped with a VA panel, which usually offers very good contrast compared to IPS panels. Unfortunately, VA panels have their weakness in the form of limited viewing angles, which is also visible in the case of QNED91T LG. The viewing angles are not the best here, and while the use of a coating to widen the angles could significantly improve the situation, unfortunately, we do not have that here. As a result, the image loses quality when viewed from a greater angle, which can be problematic when multiple people are watching simultaneously.

Black levels during daytime: Good

The LG 65QNED91T6A television is equipped with a satin matrix, which performs average in handling direct light reflections, such as from lamps or wall sconces. In the first test photo with a large lamp, it is visible how the reflection "spreads across the screen." However, the QNED91T makes up for it in terms of brightness - the average SDR brightness of 580 cd/m² is sufficient for watching television even in more challenging lighting conditions. As a result, despite issues with reflections, the television performs well during the day.

The most important thing in today's TVs, besides picture quality, is the operating system. The one available in LG models is really very good. Of course, we are talking about the WebOS system, which offers most of the popular apps available in Poland, similar to GoogleTV. What sets this system apart is primarily the great remote control with an accelerometer - the Magic Remote, which resembles a magic wand. Controlling with this remote is extremely convenient. Additionally, the TV offers a very good voice assistant that understands Polish perfectly.

In terms of user functions, the TV 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 necessary thanks to the convenient Magic Remote. Unfortunately, there is no PiP (Picture-in-Picture) function, but this is such a specific feature that only those who actually need it will feel its absence. The QNED91T is a TV that does not disappoint when it comes to everyday enjoyment of its use.
