LG has rolled out a new QNED evo Mini LED lineup in the US, and the headline act is hard to miss: the 115-inch 115QNED92BU, now the largest QNED TV the company has ever made. It is already up for preorder at $13,000, putting it squarely in ”this is for a very specific living room” territory.
LG’s biggest QNED TV also brings a 4K Mini LED panel, the Alpha 8 AI Gen 3 processor, and Precision Dimming Ultra local dimming. LG says the 115-inch model has 25% more backlight zones than last year’s version, a familiar upgrade path in premium LCD TVs as brands keep pushing contrast and brightness to defend their place against OLED.
Gaming features on the 115-inch LG QNED TV
For gamers, LG is stacking on the headline numbers. The 115QNED92BU supports VRR up to 165 Hz, plus a 330 Hz Motion Booster mode for Full HD PC games. Console players get 4K at 120 Hz through HDMI 2.1, which is the kind of spec sheet that has become table stakes at the high end, but still matters when you are selling a giant screen to people who also own a fast PC or a current-gen console.
- Panel: 4K Mini LED
- Processor: Alpha 8 AI Gen 3
- Local dimming: Precision Dimming Ultra
- Gaming: VRR up to 165 Hz
- PC mode: 330 Hz Motion Booster at Full HD
- Console mode: 4K 120 Hz via HDMI 2.1
webOS 26 adds Gemini, Copilot, and new portals
The software side is equally aggressive. LG is shipping webOS 26 with Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot built in for voice control and recommendations, while adding separate Sports Portal and Gaming Portal hubs. Those portals pull in match results, alerts, and cloud gaming access through Nvidia GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud Gaming. It is a reminder that premium TVs are no longer sold as panels first and apps later; the operating system is part of the product pitch.
The bigger question is how much appetite there really is for a 115-inch QNED set when OLED still owns the prestige end of LG’s TV lineup and Mini LED rivals from Samsung and others keep narrowing the gap on price and brightness. LG clearly wants this model to be the oversized showroom piece that also happens to be good at games. If the preorder response is strong, expect more of this ”bigger, smarter, brighter” formula to show up across premium LCD TVs.
