It’s easy to buy a fantastic big-screen TV that presents a great picture. Up until recently, though, your choice presented a conflict. Some TVs display a deep and precise color picture but aren’t particularly bright. Other TVs deliver an ultra-bright picture, but the image looks dull and washed out.
A new TV tech called quantum dot is designed to bridge this picture quality/picture brightness gap, delivering eye-popping colors, deep blacks, and enough brightness to bring clear TV viewing to even the sunniest room.

LG combines three cutting edge image-enhancing technologies on this huge TV. First, quantum dot, which LG calls NanoCell. Second is mini-LED backlighting which provides more precise full array, local dimming. Simply said, it delivers more accurate scene lighting and detail in bright and dark scenes. Finally, 8K resolution— that’s 33 million pixels— offers four times the resolution of 4K models. For spectacular giant-screen gaming, this TV set is equipped with LG’s Game Optimizer for easy access to your game settings, as well as multiple low latency, low input lag technologies for smooth and fast gaming action response
