LG QNED85A 65"
This LG TV generally wins praise for its bright, vibrant picture quality, especially for sports and gaming, and its easy setup. However, a significant number of verified reviewers strongly criticize the remote control's lack of a dedicated mute button, calling it a major design flaw that requires workarounds like a third-party remote or subscription. While the display and value are highly rated, the remote issue has led some to consider returning the TV or switching to a streaming device.

- Excellent for sports and gaming
- Easy setup and well-written instructions
- Good value for the money
- Crisp colors and clear darks
Cons
- No dedicated mute button on remote
