QNEDs are effectively a step back from QD-OLEDs. To recap:

- OLED displays are composed of various tiny organic structures that emit light when given an electrical charge. Turn off the charge and it emits 0 light and looks to be inky black. Different kinds of structures produce different colors, the traditional red, green, and blue.

- QD-OLEDs fix a problem with that last part: Different structures also produce different amounts of light and wear out at different times. Rather than having to tinker with the combination of structures, QD-OLEDs just use "blue" structures for everything and sticks a particular type of crystal ("quantum dots") in front to allow for the RGB: Some crystals will emit red light when struck by blue light, while other crystals emit green light instead. These crystals are more durable than the organic structures that they replace, and now you can increase the brightness of the blue structures across the board because you don't have to worry about some colors wearing out faster than others.

- QNED goes back to the technology that we've had since the beginning of LCD flatscreen TVs: Instead of organic structures that emit light on their own, you use crystals that block or allow light to pass through them, with the light coming from a backlight. While not quite as cheap as the original LCD TVs, they're cheaper than OLED and QD-OLED displays since manufacturers have the fundamental tech down pat after so many decades. Here the goal of the filter crystals is to only let blue light through, which in turn hit quantum dots (like in QD-OLEDs). The color and contrast is better than original LCD TVs; however, since the light source isn't at the pixel-level like OLEDs (dimming zones, mini LEDs, etc) QNEDs aren't as good on those points compared to OLEDs.

They come up with new acronyms every day... so what does this mean?

Anyone know if the all the ports contain 120Hz refresh rate or just 2x of them.

Still kicking myself for passing on the 65" of this model for $500 at Costco last fall. It was an in-store manager markdown.

QNED vs mini-led which is better? Asking for a friend.

QNED is basically LG's equivalent of QLED. Main problem with this particular model is that it's edge-lit, no full array local dimming. For the same price, a TCL QM7 will have better picture quality.

Well neither, those terms refer to different things - you can have a QNED display with mini-LED backlight. In fact, that's exactly what the older 2023 version of this model had. But this newer model is actually a downgrade - it's edge-lit instead of mini-LED.

Got the 65inch version of the same model from Costco at 599 last Fall, and overall the picture quality is pretty decent and does get bright enough where we have to dial it down. Sound is very poor on these models, so expect to connect a soundbar. Viewing angles are Ok at best so if you are not watching it from the front the picture quality does degrade a bit.

A 3 second google search found this from rtings:
"It has HDMI 2.1 bandwidth on all four of its ports for up to 4k @ 120Hz gaming with VRR, so it's fully compatible with modern gaming consoles."
