LG QNED84B Series 75QNED84BAA.ACC 75"

The LG QNED84B is a 75-inch Mini-LED TV with excellent display and HDR performance, a 120Hz panel for gaming, and a price that's hard to beat. The built-in audio is weak and webOS can be annoying, but the picture quality is the real deal. Worth buying if you're adding a soundbar.

The display is the star here. At the 89th percentile for display and 87th for HDR, this thing delivers deep blacks and punchy highlights that make Dolby Vision content pop. The α8 AI Processor 4K Gen3 does solid upscaling work, and the 120Hz native refresh rate keeps motion smooth for sports and gaming. Gaming sits at the 78th percentile, which is strong, and HDMI 2.1 with VRR and ALLM means consoles and PCs get the full treatment. Audio is the weak spot at the 38th percentile, so plan on a soundbar if you care about sound. Connectivity is middle of the pack with three HDMI ports and Wi-Fi 5, which is fine but not future-proof.

Against the TCL QM8K and Hisense U8, the LG holds its own on picture quality but gives up some brightness and local dimming precision. The Sony BRAVIA 9 and Samsung QN990F are in a different league, but they cost two to three times as much. The Roku Pro Series has a better smart platform but can't match the LG's HDR punch. For the money, the QNED84B sits in a sweet spot where you get most of the Mini-LED benefits without the flagship tax.

At CAD 1,398 for a 75-inch Mini-LED, this is a strong value. You're getting display and HDR performance that competes with sets costing significantly more. The trade-offs are in the audio and smart platform, both of which are fixable with a soundbar and a streaming stick. If you want the biggest screen for the least money without sacrificing picture quality, this is a compelling buy.

The LG QNED84B is a 75-inch Mini-LED TV that punches above its price class in a few key areas. The display and HDR performance sit near the top of our database, and the 120Hz panel with VRR makes it a legit gaming option. It's not perfect, but for a big-screen Mini-LED at this size, LG got a lot right.

Setup is mostly painless, and the picture quality gets real praise from owners. The main friction is webOS, which some people find clunky and pushy about accounts. If you can get past the software quirks, the panel itself is a treat.

Skip this if you want a TV with great built-in sound or a simple, friction-free smart platform. The audio is mediocre and webOS has enough quirks that some owners get frustrated. If you're not adding a soundbar and you hate account sign-ups, look at the Roku Pro Series instead.

Buy this if you want a big, beautiful Mini-LED screen for gaming and movies and you're willing to add a soundbar. The picture quality is the main event, and it delivers. Skip it if you hate fiddly smart TV software or need great built-in audio.
