LG QNED Mini LED - 91A series 65" Class 91A Series QNED evo AI 65.1" 2025 Review

This LG is a connectivity and smart TV champion, not a picture quality king. It scores in the 97th percentile for ports and connections and has one of the best smart platforms around. But its picture quality is just average, landing in the 43rd percentile. At $1500, it's a great pick for a gadget-filled living room, but cinephiles should look elsewhere.

The LG 65" Class 91A Series QNED evo is a TV that nails the modern smart home experience. Its connectivity lands in the 97th percentile in our database, which means it's one of the best-connected TVs you can buy right now. You get four HDMI 2.1 ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, and support for all the major voice assistants. That's a lot of flexibility for a $1500 set. The smart platform, webOS, is also a standout, scoring in the 95th percentile for its intuitive interface and massive library of free LG Channels content. It's a TV that makes streaming and connecting your gadgets feel effortless. But the picture quality story is more complicated. While it supports all the major HDR formats and uses Mini-LED tech, its overall picture quality and display scores are just about average, sitting in the 40-43rd percentile range. This isn't a TV that wows you with sheer visual punch out of the box.

This TV is built for a connected, modern living room. Its gaming performance is impressive, hitting the 91st percentile. The 120Hz panel, HDMI 2.1, and FreeSync support mean it's ready for current-gen consoles and PCs. HDR performance is also strong, landing in the 93rd percentile, so Dolby Vision and HDR10 content will look vibrant with good contrast from the Mini-LED backlight. The real star, though, is the smart system. WebOS is smooth, well-organized, and gives you access to over 400 free channels. It's one of the best smart TV experiences available. The audio is decent, scoring in the 62nd percentile, which is fine for everyday viewing but you'll likely want a soundbar for movies. The picture quality itself is the middle ground. It's good, but it doesn't have the pop or color accuracy of some higher-end competitors in its price range.

At $1500, the value proposition is clear: you're paying for a fantastic smart ecosystem and future-proof connectivity, not for class-leading picture quality. You get a ton of ports, a great OS, and solid gaming features for the money. If your priority is a seamless, connected hub for all your streaming and gaming devices, this TV delivers that in spades. But if your main goal is the absolute best picture for movies, you might find better pure performance from a TCL or Hisense Mini-LED model at a similar price.

Compared directly to its Mini-LED rivals, the LG trades some visual punch for a better overall experience. A similarly priced TCL QM6K or Hisense U6 Series will likely offer better contrast and peak brightness (and often in a larger size), putting their picture quality scores above this LG's 43rd percentile. However, their smart platforms and connectivity usually aren't as polished. The Samsung Neo QLED is a step up in picture quality but also in price. The Roku Pro Series is a closer competitor in the smart TV arena, but LG's webOS and HDMI port count give it an edge for tech-heavy setups. You're choosing between a better picture (TCL/Hisense) or a better, more connected smart home hub (LG).

Skip this TV if you're a home theater purist chasing the best possible picture. With picture quality and display scores in the 40-43rd percentile range, it's solid but not a standout. Models from TCL and Hisense in this price range often deliver better contrast and HDR impact. Also, avoid it if you need a TV for a very bright room or outdoor patio setup, as its performance in bright conditions is a noted weak spot. This is an indoor, connected living room TV first and foremost.

We recommend the LG 91A Series if you want a superbly connected TV with a best-in-class smart platform for streaming and gaming. Its high scores in connectivity, smart features, and gaming make it a fantastic central hub for a modern entertainment system. We don't recommend it if your sole focus is achieving the best possible picture quality for the money, as its middling scores in that area mean you can get more visual bang for your buck elsewhere. It's a TV for people who value convenience and connectivity as much as, or more than, pure pixel perfection.
