Our take on the LG Tv (50QNED80A3A)

The LG QNED80A3A is a 50-inch 4K QNED television with edge LED backlighting and a 60 Hz native refresh rate. It runs LG's smart TV platform with Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Bluetooth, and it supports HDR plus DVB-C, DVB-S/S2 and DVB-T/T2 tuners. The QNED layer adds a wide color range over a standard LED set, but the 60 Hz panel and edge lighting put it below mini-LED and 120 Hz models for fast gaming and dark-room contrast. It suits a bedroom, a small living room or a secondary set where streaming apps and everyday broadcast matter more than peak brightness.

Questions and answers

Is the 60 Hz refresh rate a problem?

For movies and regular TV it is fine. For fast-paced games and sports, a 120 Hz set gives smoother motion, and this model does not offer that.

Does it support HDR?

Yes, the set supports high dynamic range. Because it uses edge LED backlighting, HDR highlights are less bright than on mini-LED models.

What tuners does it have?

It covers DVB-C, DVB-S, DVB-S2, DVB-T and DVB-T2, so it works with cable, satellite and terrestrial broadcasts without a separate box.

Can I wall mount it?

Yes. It uses a standard 200 x 200 mm VESA pattern, so most brackets for a 50-inch TV will fit.

How does it compare with LG's OLED sets?

OLED gives per-pixel contrast and deeper blacks. This QNED set is brighter in a bright room and does not risk burn-in, but its blacks and viewing angles are weaker.

Does it have Bluetooth and Ethernet?

Yes. It has Wi-Fi, an Ethernet port and Bluetooth, so you can connect by cable or wirelessly and pair Bluetooth audio devices.
