LG QNED92A 65QNED92AUA 65 Inch 65" 2025 Review
The LG QNED92A Mini-LED TV promises a lot with its gaming features, but our testing reveals middling picture quality. It's a niche pick for gamers, not the home theater upgrade you might want.
The 30-Second Version
The LG QNED92A is a gamer's TV with an identity crisis. Great for your PS5, forgettable for your movie night.
Overview
The LG QNED92A is a gaming TV that got lost in the Mini-LED sauce. The one thing you need to know? It's a 120Hz powerhouse with killer HDR support, but its overall picture quality is surprisingly mid-tier, landing in the 43rd percentile in our database. That's a weird spot for a Mini-LED set. If you're buying this for movies and cinematic impact, you'll be disappointed. But if you're a gamer who wants Dolby Vision and silky smooth motion, this starts to make more sense.
Performance
The performance story is a tale of two specs. On one hand, the HDR support is phenomenal, scoring in the 98th percentile. Dolby Vision, HDR10, HLG—it's all here, and it looks great. The gaming chops are also top-shelf at the 92nd percentile, with 120Hz, FreeSync, and ALLM. But then you look at the actual picture quality score, which is a head-scratching 43rd percentile. That means for all its fancy Mini-LED zones and 'Precision Dimming Pro,' it's getting beat by a lot of other TVs on pure image clarity and depth. The numbers don't lie.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- HDR support is elite—Dolby Vision on a gaming TV is a rare treat. 95th
- Gaming features are flawless: 120Hz, FreeSync, and auto low latency mode. 89th
- Connectivity is solid with four HDMI ports and solid wireless options. 78th
- The included tilt mount is a nice bonus for getting the angle just right. 74th
Cons
- Picture quality is mediocre for a Mini-LED, with a score in the bottom half.
- The 'smart' experience on webOS is just okay, scoring only in the 64th percentile.
- Audio is average at best, so you'll want a soundbar.
- It's marketed as an all-rounder, but it's really a specialist for gamers.

Value & Pricing
At $1098, the value proposition is shaky. You're paying Mini-LED money for mid-tier picture performance. It's not a bad TV, but it's an expensive way to get a great gaming screen with so-so movie watching. If picture quality is your top priority, this isn't it.
Price History
vs Competition
This puts the LG in a tough spot. The Samsung Neo QLED QN90F is a more balanced Mini-LED competitor with better overall scores. If you want the absolute best picture and are okay with less gaming focus, the LG OLED evo G5 smokes this thing on contrast and film quality. And if you're just after a budget big screen with decent specs, the Hisense U6 Series offers similar gaming features for a lot less cash. The QNED92A is stuck between these worlds.

Common Questions
Q: Is the picture quality as good as an OLED?
No, not even close. Our data shows its picture quality score is way below high-end OLEDs. It gets bright, but blacks and contrast aren't in the same league.
Q: Is this good for sports?
It's decent, scoring a 72.2/100. The motion handling is good for fast action, but there are better TVs out there if sports is your main thing.
Q: Do I need the surge protector it comes with?
It's a nice bonus, but don't let it sway your decision. Any decent surge protector will do the same job.
Who Should Skip This
If you're a movie buff or care most about the absolute best picture quality, skip this. You're paying a premium for tech that isn't delivering its full potential. Go get an LG OLED or a higher-tier Samsung Neo QLED instead. This TV is for a specific gamer, not a cinephile.
Verdict
We can't give a full-throated recommendation. The LG QNED92A is a confusing product. It has top-tier gaming and HDR specs bolted onto middling picture quality. Buy it only if you are a dedicated gamer who must have Dolby Vision support and 120Hz, and you don't care as much about cinematic movie quality. For everyone else, there are better, more focused options at this price.
