What Buyers Say
LG QNED evo AI QNED85A Series 100QNED85AU 100"
The LG TV receives mostly positive reviews for its excellent picture quality, vibrant colors, and good value for the price. However, a significant number of users report serious issues with the remote control, particularly the lack of a dedicated mute button, which can be very frustrating. While the TV itself performs well for movies, sports, and gaming, the remote problems have led some to use alternative devices like a Fire TV Stick. Overall, it is a great TV marred by a poorly designed remote.
Pros

- Vibrant and customizable colors
- Good value for the price
- Immersive 100-inch screen
- Great for sports and gaming
Cons
- No dedicated mute button on remote

- Cannot set quick access to apps without number pad
