LG QNED and Nano TVs: What Each 2026 Series Adds

From LG’s US store: backlight, chip, refresh rate, HDR, HDMI and list prices for the 11 non-OLED TV series LG sold direct on 26 October.

LG’s QNED and Nano TV series by refresh rate, from LG’s US store read 26 October 2026, with LG list prices. 60Hz with no 4K 120Hz input: NU70, NU85, QNED74B, QNED75B, QNED7SB and LX7B, 43 to 98 inches, from $249.99. 120Hz with VRR to 144Hz: QNED8MB, QNED85B and QNED84B (QNED evo), 55 to 100 inches, from $699.00. 120Hz with VRR to 165Hz: QNED92B (QNED evo) and MRGB95B (Micro RGB evo), 75 to 115 inches, from $4,999.99. Dolby Vision is listed on the QNED85B, QNED92B, MRGB95B and the 100-inch QNED84B; none lists HDR10+. LG’s 98-inch NU85 page lists a 120Hz panel and 4K 120Hz HDMI; its 65- and 85-inch pages list 60Hz.

LG’s 2026 LCD TVs split first by refresh rate: at the sizes we read, six series list a 60Hz panel and no 4K 120Hz input, and five list 120Hz with 4K 120Hz HDMI. The 98-inch NU85 crosses over, and the names carry less information than the spec rows. The two “QNED evo” sets are not the only ones with 120Hz, and Dolby Vision appears on three series at every size we read plus one size of a fourth.

On 26 October LG’s US store sold 11 non-OLED TV series itself, counted from the Add to Cart and Preorder buttons on its QNED and 4K UHD listings: nine QNED, Gallery and Micro RGB series and two Nano UHD series. The 2025 QNED and UA ranges still appear in those listings, but every card for them read “Find a Retailer”. LG’s OLEDs are a separate range, set out in our B6, C6, G6 and W6 explainer, and its UltraGear gaming monitors in which LG UltraGear is which.

The series side by side

From each set’s product page on lg.com/us, read 26 October 2026. Specs are for the 65-inch class unless the row says otherwise; list is LG’s higher, struck-through price, or the one price shown. On that day LG showed a sale price below list on 33 of the 38 sizes in this table.

Processor names are shortened from LG’s “α7 AI Processor 4K Gen9” and so on. LG gives no dimming-zone counts or brightness figures on these spec sheets, so neither appears here.

The 60Hz sets: NU70, NU85, QNED74B, QNED75B, QNED7SB and LX7B

These six share a spec core: a native 60Hz panel, the α7 AI Processor 4K Gen9, HDR10 and HLG without Dolby Vision, and HDMI inputs LG lists for eARC and ALLM, not 4K 120Hz. What changes is the backlight and the HDMI count. The two Nano UHD series list a direct backlight; the QNED74B, QNED7SB and LX7B list Mini LED. The NU70 and QNED74B have two HDMI inputs, the others three, which matters if a soundbar takes the eARC port and you have two other boxes to plug in.

The QNED75B (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) is the odd one. LG calls it Mini LED in its name and its display type, yet the 65-inch page’s Backlight Type row reads “Direct”. Read the spec row for the size you want, not the product title. The LX7B is the Gallery TV with Frame, sold with an attachable frame and the same core spec as the QNED7SB.

120Hz and 4K 120Hz HDMI: QNED8MB, QNED85B and QNED84B

All three list a native 120Hz panel, variable refresh to 144Hz and 4K 120Hz on their HDMI inputs, the input a console needs to send 4K at 120 frames a second. The QNED8MB lists the older α8 Gen2 chip and three inputs. The QNED85B (affiliate link to Amazon, opens in a new tab) lists the α8 Gen3, four inputs, Precision Dimming and Dolby Vision.

The QNED84B carries LG’s “QNED evo” name, which LG’s FAQ describes as “the premium series within LG’s LCD TV lineup”, yet at 65 and 85 inches its page lists HDR10 and HLG and three HDMI inputs, fewer than the QNED85B. The 100-inch QNED84B is listed differently: Dolby Vision, four inputs, Precision Dimming Pro and 2.2-channel sound. In this range the same series name can cover different spec sheets at different sizes, and the NU85 does the same thing at 98 inches.

A fifth QNED84B page, model 75QNED84BAA, has “QNED84B (Club)” in its Series row, no LG price and three HDMI inputs. Retailer-specific versions like this are why the model number is the comparison that counts when a Black Friday price looks familiar.

165Hz: QNED92B and MRGB95B

The 115-inch QNED92B, on preorder, lists Precision Dimming Ultra, the α8 Gen3 and VRR to 165Hz. LG’s QNED FAQ says Precision Dimming Ultra has “over a thousand dimming zones”, and LG calls the QNED92B “our biggest premium Mini LED TV”.

The MRGB95B, which LG sells as Micro RGB evo, swaps the white Mini LED backlight for what LG calls “dedicated red, green, and blue backlights”, with Micro Dimming Ultra. It lists the α11 AI Processor 4K Gen3, the same chip name as LG’s C6 and G6 OLEDs, and comes in 75, 86 and 100 inches. Our explainer on how OLED and Mini LED make light covers what a dimming zone does and where each technology has its limits.

HDR across the range

The QNED85B, QNED92B and MRGB95B list Dolby Vision on every page we read, and the QNED84B lists it at 100 inches only; every other series lists HDR10 and HLG. None of the 11 lists HDR10+.

Questions people ask

What is the difference between LG QNED and QNED evo?

LG’s FAQ calls QNED evo Mini LED “the premium series within LG’s LCD TV lineup”. Of the 2026 sets LG sold direct on 26 October, the QNED84B and QNED92B carry the evo name; the QNED85B, numbered higher than the QNED84B, is sold as “QNED AI” but lists Dolby Vision and four HDMI inputs at 65 inches, which the 65-inch QNED84B does not.

Do LG QNED TVs have 120Hz?

Some do. The QNED8MB, QNED85B, QNED84B and QNED92B pages we read list a native 120Hz panel. The QNED74B, QNED75B, QNED7SB and LX7B Gallery TV list 60Hz and no 4K 120Hz HDMI input.

Do LG QNED TVs support Dolby Vision?

Not all. Of the 11 non-OLED series LG sold direct on 26 October, the QNED85B, QNED92B and MRGB95B list Dolby Vision at every size we read, and the QNED84B lists it at 100 inches only. The rest list HDR10 and HLG. None lists HDR10+.

Is the LG QNED75B a Mini LED TV?

LG names it Mini LED, and its display type reads “4K QNED Mini LED”, but the 65-inch page’s Backlight Type row reads “Direct”, where the QNED74B and QNED7SB pages read “Mini LED”. LG’s pages do not explain the difference, so check the spec row for the size you want.

What is the difference between LG Nano NU70 and NU85?

At 65 inches, little on LG’s spec sheets: both list 60Hz, the α7 Gen9 chip and HDR10 and HLG; the NU85 adds a third HDMI input. The 98-inch NU85 is different, listing 120Hz, VRR to 144Hz, the α8 Gen3 chip and four 4K 120Hz HDMI inputs.

What is LG Micro RGB evo?

LG’s MRGB95B, a Micro RGB LCD that LG says uses “dedicated red, green, and blue backlights”. Its page lists the α11 AI Processor 4K Gen3, the chip LG puts in its C6 and G6 OLEDs, plus Micro Dimming Ultra, 120Hz with VRR to 165Hz and Dolby Vision, in 75, 86 and 100 inches.

How we researched this

No one at bitcritiq has handled this product. Everything here comes from published sources, listed below.

What this cannot tell you
Specs vary by size inside a series, and we did not read every size: the NU85 and QNED84B pages we read at their largest size list a faster panel, more HDMI 2.1 inputs or Dolby Vision that their 65-inch pages do not, and other series may differ at sizes we did not open. LG’s pages give no dimming-zone counts or brightness figures for most sets, so the table has neither; LG’s QNED FAQ mentions “over a thousand dimming zones” for Precision Dimming Ultra without naming a model. Series sold only through other retailers (the 2025 QNED and UA ranges, the QNED84B “Club” version and the NU870) are named, not specified. LG’s prices change often before Black Friday. We have not used any of these TVs; nothing here is a review or a score.
How we chose this, and what we did
Why this subject
Search Console shows bitcritiq’s best-TVs page drawing searches for “best tv 2026”, “best new tvs” and “best new televisions”, and Black Friday falls on 27 November. We have laid out LG’s OLED range, and Sony’s, Samsung’s, TCL’s and Vizio’s TVs; LG’s LCD sets, sold under QNED, QNED evo, Micro RGB evo and Nano UHD names with numbers that do not line up with the spec sheets, had no page.
How we looked at it
Read LG’s US store (lg.com/us) on 26 October 2026. The QNED TVs listing reported 32 results; after pressing Load More until it disappeared, 31 product cards loaded, of which 8 showed Add to Cart and 1 (the 115-inch QNED92B) Preorder; the rest showed Find a Retailer. The 4K UHD TVs listing reported 25 results; 2 cards (NU85 and NU70) showed Add to Cart. That gives the 11 series in the table, counted card by card. For each series we read the specification data the product page carries (Backlight Type, Dimming Technology, Wide Color Gamut, Refresh Rate, Picture Processor, HDR, HDMI Input, Speaker System) at the 65-inch class where LG sells one, and at more sizes where we suspected differences: 21 pages in all, listed under Sources. Sizes and prices come from each page’s size selector: list is the higher, struck-through price where LG showed two, and the one price shown where it showed one. The sale count (33 of 38 sizes) compares those two figures size by size. The Dolby Vision and HDR10+ counts read each page’s HDR row, with HDR10 in the same row as the control. The dimming entries are reported where a page has a Dimming Technology row; we make no claim about pages without one.
