LG QNED92AUA 65QNED92AUA 65 Inch 65" 2025 Review

The LG QNED92AUA is a gamer's bright-side TV. Its HDR brightness is in the top 2% we've tested, and it scores 80/100 for gaming. Just know the overall picture quality is mid-pack. At $1,578, it's a solid buy for the right viewer.

The LG QNED92AUA is a 65-inch Mini-LED TV that's built for gamers and sports fans first. It's packing a 120Hz panel with FreeSync and ALLM, and our data shows it scores an 80.3 out of 100 for both gaming and sports. That's its sweet spot.

Movies are still solid at a 72.3, but the real story is in the specs: this thing is a brightness monster. It lands in the 98th percentile for HDR performance, which means highlights pop like crazy. Just don't plan on putting it in a super bright room, as its outdoor score is a low 44.7.

This TV is fast where it counts. The 120Hz refresh and low input lag make games feel incredibly responsive. HDR content looks fantastic, thanks to that Mini-LED backlight hitting high brightness levels—it's in the top 2% of all TVs we track for HDR. The audio is also surprisingly punchy, sitting in the 93rd percentile, so the built-in 2.2-channel system with Dolby Atmos does a decent job. The main trade-off is in overall picture quality, which ranks in the 43rd percentile. That means while it's bright and fast, it might not have the absolute black levels or color finesse of a top-tier OLED.

At around $1,578, this is a strong value for a 65-inch Mini-LED TV with these gaming and HDR chops. You're getting near-top-tier brightness and gaming features without paying OLED prices. The bundled JBL soundbar deal (if that's still active) makes it even sweeter, given the TV's already good audio. If your main uses are gaming, sports, and HDR movies, you're getting a lot of TV for your money.

Compared to the Sony BRAVIA 5, the LG likely wins on gaming features and brightness, but the Sony might have better motion processing for movies. Against the Hisense U6 series, the LG should have better build quality and a more polished smart OS. The biggest internal LG battle is against their own OLED evo AI G5. The OLED will destroy it on contrast and movie picture quality, but this QNED92 will be much brighter and has no risk of burn-in, which gamers love. The Samsung Neo QLEDs are its direct rivals, often trading blows on brightness and gaming, so it comes down to price and which smart ecosystem you prefer.

Skip this if you're a dedicated cinephile who values perfect black levels and cinematic color above all else. An OLED like LG's own G5 will be a better fit. Also, avoid it if your main TV spot gets blasted with sunlight all day—its screen can't fight that.

Buy this TV if you're a gamer or sports fanatic who wants a super bright screen with all the modern gaming bells and whistles. Its HDR performance is elite, and it handles fast motion brilliantly. It's also a great pick if you want impactful sound without an immediate soundbar purchase.
