โœ… What Works

  • LG's QNED80 combines NanoCell color filtering with quantum dots for wide color gamut coverage โ€” skin tones, natural colors, and saturated content like animation and sport graphics are all handled accurately and vividly. LG's color science is among the best in the industry.
  • webOS 24 remains one of the most polished smart TV platforms โ€” the Magic Remote with point-and-click cursor control makes navigation genuinely fast, the interface is clean and uncluttered, and LG's app support is comprehensive including all major Canadian streaming services.
  • True 120Hz native refresh rate with G-Sync and FreeSync Premium makes this a legitimately excellent gaming TV. Input lag in Game Optimizer mode drops to under 5ms, VRR runs smooth, and ALLM switches to game mode automatically when a console is detected.
  • LG's Dolby Vision IQ implementation is one of the best available โ€” it reads ambient light via built-in sensor and adjusts tone mapping continuously, so the picture looks correct whether you're watching at noon in a sunlit room or at midnight with everything dark.

โš ๏ธ Worth Knowing

  • NanoCell panels have limited local dimming compared to Mini-LED TVs โ€” blacks in dark scenes aren't as deep as TCL's Q6 Mini-LED at a lower price. LG wins on color accuracy and gaming features but loses on pure contrast performance.
  • At $1,099 CAD, the QNED80 is priced significantly above the TCL Q6 and Hisense U8N โ€” both of which offer Mini-LED panels with potentially better contrast for less money. LG's advantages are webOS, gaming features, and build quality, not peak picture performance.
  • The Magic Remote is excellent but the LR1000 replacement remote sold separately is expensive if lost or broken. LG's ThinQ app can be used as a backup but the experience is inferior to the physical remote.
  • webOS collects viewing data for ad targeting by default โ€” users should opt out during initial setup or in settings. The option is available but buried, and the default-on setting is worth being aware of.

Common complaints

Blacks aren't as deep as Mini-LEDโ€ฆ

I returned a TCL Q6 thinking LG would have better picture but the contrast is actually worse. The QNED80 wins on color but not on black levels.

Expensive for what you get vs Hisenseโ€ฆ

The U8N Mini-LED is $100 less and has better contrast. You're paying for webOS and the LG name here.

Data collection is on by defaultโ€ฆ

Had to dig into settings to turn off ACR and ad targeting. Should be opt-in, not opt-out on a $1100 TV.

Magic Remote battery life is shortโ€ฆ

Magic Remote dies faster than I expected and AAA batteries aren't rechargeable. I replaced it with a rechargeable version from third-party.

ClearPick Verdict

**No verifiable owner mentions have been collected for this product yet โ€” the score below is a spec-based provisional placeholder, not owner-backed.** The quotes shown further down come from an earlier data-collection pass and are not permalinked to a verifiable source thread. The LG QNED80 is the best choice for gamers and webOS fans who want a premium mid-range TV โ€” true 120Hz, G-Sync/FreeSync, sub-5ms input lag, and LG's exceptional color science make it the top gaming TV under $1,200 CAD. It's beaten on raw contrast by Mini-LED competitors at lower prices, so buyers who prioritize cinematic dark-room performance should compare carefully. For gaming, sports, and daily mixed use, the QNED80 is excellent.
