The LG QNED99T TV series has only two references, the LG 75QNED99T (75'', 191 cm) and LG 86QNED99T (86'', 218 cm).
LG QNED99T, main specifications
As a reminder, the LG QNED TV series top the brand's LCD range. Namely, the QNED99T screens take up most of the specifications of the QNED90T with a few major differences. The first concerns the nature of the Ultra HD 8K panel versus UHD 4K on the QNED85T and QNED90T.
For the rest, we find a Mini LED system (called Precision Dimming at LG) and the technology called QNED Color Pro which replaces that Quantum Dot Nanocell Color presented last year. Of course, the Nanocell process intended to offer extremely pure RGB colors for a very natural and dynamic on-screen rendering, by eliminating the wavelengths corresponding to the yellow color thanks to a layer of nanoparticles thick of 1 nm (to obtain very pure green and red hues) is always required.
Finally, we also note that the 2023 design of QNED TVs allows two TV positions, 35 mm or 75 mm in height, to easily accommodate a soundbar.
LG QNED99T, new Alpha 9 Gen 7 processor
For the rest, we find the new Alpha 9 Gen 7 processor. The latter includes the new Brightness Booster functions coming directly from the brand's Oled TVs to improve the quality of contrast, Dynamic Sound Booster and AI Clear Sound. Likewise, AI Super Upscaling processing replaces AI Upscaling with many improvements (Pixel Detection Upscaling + Visual Detection, Frame + Object Detection Upscaling).
For their part, the Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro process for 9.1.2 virtual surround image or sound is still present. Without forgetting of course AI ThinQ and the webOS24 interface which we will come back to in more detail in a future update.
Otherwise, LG announces that the Alpha 9 Gen 7 even more precisely identifies faces and text displayed on the screen to optimize settings. The result is an expected increase in sharpness and a complexion that is never found wanting.
LG QNED99T, HDR Dolby Vison and Dolby Atmos sound
Unlike the QNED85T screens, like the QNED90T, the LG QNED99T does offer Dolby Vision HDR and Dolby Atmos compatibility either. In the audio chapter, little information from LG but the sound section should be 4.2 and deliver a power of 60 watts. However, check.
LG QNED99T, native 10-bit 100/120 Hz IPS LCD panel
In addition to a Mini LED backlighting system already mentioned, the LG QNED99T TVs are built using a native 10-bit 100 Hz Ultra HD IPS LCD panel and a simple DVB-T2, DVB-S2 and DVB-C tuner . Plus Canal Ready and Fransat certifications.
LG QNED99T, Smart TV ThinQ AI on the menu
We also find the new ThinQ AI 2024 platform equipped with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa accessible directly on the remote control via a dedicated button. Of course, AirPlay 2 and HomeKit are on the menu. Everything allows access to the internet and specific services (LG App Store online store, chat on social networks, etc.), or even directly to the web, like on a computer. Finally, Wisa compatibility for connecting wireless speakers and the Home Dashboard function to view at a glance all the equipment connected and/or connected to the screen are included.
Also present, HBBTV compatibility and the UPnP multimedia gateway function (DLNA) associated with Miracast, Wi-Fi ac and Bluetooth 5.0 APT-X compatibility. The latter allows the pairing of headphones, a suitable speaker or the activation of the LG Sound Sync function to connect, for example, a wireless compatible soundbar to the TV. Or, via the Bluetooth Surround function, assign LG Bluetooth speakers as surround speakers to recreate a multi-channel audio configuration. Not forgetting the Magic Remote with integrated microphone for greatly improved ergonomics in voice control.
Also worth mentioning is the DVR function for recording your favorite programs via one of the three USB Host ports on a suitable stick or an external hard drive, and the Time Shifting function.
LG QNED99T, zoom on the connections
Four HDMI CEC 2.1 inputs are required (including one with eARC function), all HDCP 2.3 compatible. Classically, VRR management (active from 40 Hz to 144 Hz) is offered with Freesync compatibility and HGiG certification (HDR Gaming interest). The rest of the connectivity, not specified by the manufacturer LG, should also include an optical output plus three Fat32 and NTFS compatible USB Host ports, an RS-232C socket and an Ethernet port. Likewise, MP3, AAC, Dolby Digital, WMA, VP9, HEVC, Xvid, VC-1, Mpeg, Mpeg 2, Mpeg 4 and Jpeg compatibility should be ensured. To be checked later.
Namely, except for the photo at the bottom of this news, the others are those of the 2023 vintage QNED models, while waiting for the good visuals provided by the brand.
Availability announced for spring. Indicative prices still unknown.
