In the category of televisions with LCD-LED panels we can find several panel technologies that manufacturers generally do not tend to promote much, unless you go to the specification page of the model. For years, IPS and VA panels have taken the LCD TV industry by storm, and LG has favored the former type in its QNEDs all these years. But the company willing to change this technology of their panels on some models this year.

IPS and VA type LCD panels have their own advantages and disadvantages, and it all depends on how we use the device. However, for purely multimedia use, such as in Smart TVs, panels with VA technology tend to be the panels that offer the most advantages in watching content due to their higher contrast compared to IPS panels. Now LG wants to use this technology in some QNED televisionsUntil now, MiniLED displays have always had IPS.

LG will include VA panels in its QNEDs but it will be a big lottery

While we’ve known about LG’s new OLED and LCD television lineup for 2024 for a while, it wasn’t until multiple media outlets noticed it at one of its recent events in Frankfurt, Germany. Some of LG’s QNED panels had a VA panel Instead of IPS.

For years, VA panels have stood out compared to IPS panels due to their high contrast and ability to achieve much deeper blacks. Superior image performance in dark environments. But they have one noticeable drawback: viewing angles, something IPS panels are particularly good at.

Despite this, we have seen a huge improvement in the viewing angles of VA panels in recent years; This means use only on televisions. LCD panels with VA technology are much more effective. LG wants to offer more VA models in its QNEDs, but unfortunately it is not up to us whether we will encounter a QNED with a VA panel.

As confirmed by many sources such as FlatpanelsHD, LG’s QNED89T model offered for this year also has VA panel versions. In general, all of the most popular LCD panels on the market include VA panels, including manufacturers like Samsung with Neo QLED or Sony and TCL with MiniLED models. In addition to this panel technology, LG Television also Sizes up to 98 inches.

Other LG QNED models with VA technology are QNED90T and QNED91T. Here we are talking about the most premium LG models in the LCD panel category with MiniLED technology. However, the presence of such panels It will depend on some sizes and regions only Where is it marketed? Therefore, if we dare to buy one of these televisions, we will not be able to choose the panel type, but we will have to wait until it comes to our house to find out which one we bought.

Regardless of the panel technology, LG’s 2024 QNEDs are really promising, including 4K resolution, MiniLED models and FALD backlighting, and plenty of local dimming zones (though LG hasn’t announced the number of zones yet). We can also expect panels with high frequency ratio, large size and much more. The televisions will come with improvements to tone mapping thanks to the new AI-based AI Picture Pro processor, as well as Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro technology to detect the darkest and brightest areas of each scene in real-time.
