LG is pre-announcing a lot of the new products that it will show off (and re-announce) at CES 2024 next month, including its new lineup of QNED TVs. One of the TVs that caught our eye was the new 98-inch QNED Mini LED TV. And it pretty much confirms the trend that we were expecting to see at CES in January – that is, even larger TVs becoming normal.
A few other TV makers already have TVs over 100-inches, but now we’re starting to see larger TVs with more premium panels like Mini LED.
LG isn’t saying a whole lot about this TV just yet; we’d expect to see more of that at CES in January. As always, LG’s press conference is first thing in the morning on press day – that’s 8 AM PT on January 8, 2024. But we do know that the entire QNED TV series for 2024 will be powered by the alpha 8 AI processor, which will improve on its predecessor with a 1.3-fold increase in AI performance, a 2.3-fold enhancement in graphic performance, and a processing speed that is 1.6 times faster.
In addition to the eye-catching 98-inch size, LG will also be offering QNED TVs in 43, 50, 55, 65, 75, and 86-inch screen sizes.
LG is promising five years of software updates
This isn’t something we normally talk about with TVs; it’s more of a hot-button topic for smartphones. But LG is going to update your TV for the next five years. It’s the new webOS Re:New program, which will not only offer upgrades to the latest version of the webOS Smart TV platform but also make your TV feel like it’s brand new all over again.
What makes this even more impressive is that this is not just for the 2024 QNED TV models. But it is also going to be available for the QNED Mini LED 8K TV models that were launched in 2022 – that’s the QNED99 and QNED95 series. It will also be extended to additional models in the QNED TV lineup worldwide in the future.
Now you’ll be able to buy an LG TV and not worry about it feeling sluggish or out of date in a year or two.
