LG announced its new QNED evo TV lineup today in advance of CES 2025. The new TVs will be available in sizes ranging from 40 to 100 inches, and use wireless 4K 144Hz transmission tech in the top models. LG is also going all in on AI for its QNED TVs, with AI enhancements for picture and sound and AI-based personalization features in the webOS 25 smart TV interface.

The new TVs feature a new proprietary wide color gamut tech called Dynamic QNED Color Solution, which is a replacement for the quantum dots used in previous LG QNED models and has been certified for Color Volume by testing organization Intertek.

The QNED9M model will also feature the company’s True Wireless 4K tech, a feature previously limited to the LG M-series OLED TVs. This uses a separate Zero Connect Box to send up to 4K 144Hz video and audio wirelessly to the TV, and do so without any picture quality compromises, according to LG.

AI is now widely used in the best TVs, capabilities in the new TVs include AI Super Upscaling, AI Picture Pro and AI Sound Pro for automatic picture and sound optimization. A Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro feature fine-tunes HDR brightness on a scene-by-scene basis, and a new AI Magic Remote provides an AI button for assisted content searching based on a large language model.
