The new LCD TVs’ quantum dot tech will provide “richer and more accurate colors for immersive viewing” while LG says it has used the Intertek product testing agency to guarantee 100 percent color volume and color consistency. The new panels pack smaller LEDs into the backlight compared to other TVs with the net effect of increasing brightness and dimming zones. The 86QNED99UPA, for example, is backlit with approximately 30,000 LED lights arranged to enable 2,500 local dimming zones compared to conventional LCD TVs which do not use MiniLED backlight systems.
