Pros & Cons
Pros
- 115 inches of pure, room-dominating presence 95th
- Mini LED with Precision Dimming Pro delivers solid contrast 86th
- Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support for a proper theater feel 82nd
- 165Hz VRR and FreeSync for smooth gaming 79th
Cons

- Smart platform and connectivity are near the bottom of the charts
- 165Hz only works at reduced resolution, not native 4K
The proof
Performance
The Mini LED backlight with Precision Dimming Pro does the heavy lifting for contrast and brightness, and the a8 AI Processor Gen3 keeps things looking sharp. But the numbers tell a different story. Picture quality sits at the 36th percentile, HDR at 13th, and gaming at 17th. That's rough for a flagship. The 165Hz VRR support sounds great on paper, but Motion Booster 330 only hits that refresh rate at optimized Full HD resolution, not native 4K. So you're trading resolution for speed, which feels like a compromise you shouldn't have to make at this price.

vs Competition
The Samsung Neo QLED QN990F and Sony BRAVIA 9 K85XR90 both outclass this LG in picture quality and HDR performance, and they're not exactly cheap either. But they're smaller. The Hisense U8 Series and TCL QM6K Series deliver shockingly good Mini LED performance for way less money, though you're giving up the massive screen size. If you want the biggest TV on the block, this LG wins by default. If you want the best picture, look elsewhere.

Price
Value & Pricing
At $13,000 USD, this is a luxury purchase, not a value play. You're paying for size, not performance. If you want the biggest screen possible and have the room and budget for it, fine. But if you care about picture quality per dollar, there are much better options out there for a fraction of the price.

Overview
The LG 115QNED92BU is a statement piece. You're not buying this because it's the smartest TV on the block or the best value. You're buying it because it's 115 inches of Mini LED glory that turns your wall into a movie theater. The sheer size is the headline here, and for the right room, nothing else comes close. But our database shows the picture quality, gaming, and smart features all land in the bottom half of the pack, which is a weird spot for a TV this expensive.
Common Questions
Q: Does the 165Hz refresh rate work at 4K?
No. Motion Booster 330 delivers up to 165Hz at optimized Full HD resolution. You'll need to drop the resolution to hit those speeds, which is a bummer for a TV this expensive.
Q: Is this TV good for gaming?
It's okay. You get VRR, FreeSync, ALLM, and a Game Dashboard, but our gaming score puts it at the 17th percentile. If gaming is your priority, there are better-performing TVs for less money.
Q: How does the picture quality compare to other flagship TVs?
It's solid but not class-leading. Our database puts picture quality at the 36th percentile, which means it's below average for a flagship. The Mini LED backlight helps with contrast, but HDR performance is a weak spot.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for the best picture quality or gaming performance, this isn't it. Go get a Sony BRAVIA 9 or Samsung Neo QLED instead. You'll get better HDR, better processing, and better gaming for less money. The only reason to buy this LG is the sheer size.
Verdict
The LG 115QNED92BU is a niche product for a niche buyer. If you have a massive room, a massive budget, and you want the biggest screen possible, this is your TV. But our data shows it's not a performance leader in any category that matters. For most people, a smaller, better-performing TV from Samsung or Sony is the smarter buy.
