LG QNED evo AI QNED85A Series 55QNED85AUA 55"
The LG TV delivers outstanding picture quality with bright, vibrant colors and excellent brightness, making it ideal for movies, sports, and gaming. However, the remote control is a major pain point: users report no dedicated mute button, a frustrating volume rocker, and a useless manual. While the TV itself performs well, the remote issues have driven some to use third-party devices like Fire TV sticks or universal remotes.
Pros
- Outstanding picture quality
- Vibrant and customizable colors
- Excellent brightness
- Great for sports and gaming
- Crisp and clear display
Cons
- No dedicated mute button on remote
- Frustrating volume rocker control
- Poor documentation and manual
- Remote app mute requires paid subscription
- Occasional audio switching to internal speakers
