Technological advances continue to advance in an incredible way in almost any electronic product, obviously televisions are not far behind and every year we find features that were almost impossible a long time ago.\u00a0A firm that is constantly working to improve its models is\u00a0LG\u00a0, which is considered one of the best for acquiring televisions.\u00a0However, this time we want to take a step forward and talk about his most powerful creation so to speak.\u00a0We are talking specifically about the\u00a0LG 86QNED996PB\u00a0that stands out for its 8K resolution.<\/p>\n

Exterior design of the LG 86QNED99<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

A design worthy of the high-end thanks to the construction details that have been implemented<\/p>\n

The first thing we should highlight about the\u00a0LG 86QNED99\u00a0is that it includes quite a nice aesthetic that, in my personal opinion, seems very attractive.\u00a0We did not expect less considering that we are talking about the high range, therefore, its appearance is premium and it will include very colorful details.\u00a0Of course,\u00a0we must consider that it is the 86-inch version\u00a0, a size that requires ample space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Depending on where it is going to be placed, the most advisable thing is to acquire the VESA support, which allows you to install the television more easily, especially if you plan to have it on the wall.\u00a0With this we get a better view that takes full advantage of the positive points of the design\u00a0, for example, the front that fascinates us for including quite thin bezels that end up unleashing excellent elegance.<\/p>\n

Said beauty ends up being complemented by a matte black chassis that allows us to visualize a minimalist style that usually integrates perfectly with almost any decoration or environment.\u00a0The most attractive thing about this theme is the slim style that the TV offers in general\u00a0, which keeps us with a great aesthetic from any angle.\u00a0In addition, we have a construction with very resistant materials.<\/p>\n

Connectivity<\/h3>\n

We receive a truly complete connectivity that integrates the essential options for a good job, for example, its four\u00a0HDMI 2.1\u00a0versions that provide us with great performance with any device that we are going to connect.\u00a0We also find three\u00a0USB 2.0\u00a0ports \u00a0that we can use to play or record content.\u00a0In case you want to improve the internet connection we have\u00a0\u00a0Ethernet RJ45\u00a0.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We find other interesting physical connections such as its satellite input, its output for digital audio or its RF-type antenna.\u00a0This model includes compatibility with second-generation DVB-T2\/S2\/C tuners, allowing us to better scan television channels.\u00a0Now let’s talk about the wireless issue of which we have no complaints, since we are going to find the expected options to receive such as\u00a0Wi-Fi\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0DLNA\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Image quality and functions in general of the LG 86QNED99<\/h3>\n

The most important issue of the\u00a0LG 86QNED996PB\u00a0is the image it offers us.\u00a0Since last year, some 8K models have been released, however, most were left to owe due to the poor optimization they offered in terms of quality.\u00a0However,\u00a0that is sought to change in these new versions that are much more powerful in every way\u00a0.\u00a0In principle, with the included definition we will see better details.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To begin with, the realism of the scenes will be on another level, although this depends a lot on the content being able to reproduce a quality as it is.\u00a0Unlike the previous models, this one includes a Mini LED panel that behaves much better with said definition\u00a0.\u00a0In this way we obtain a great backlight that will behave up to the task regardless of the environment where we are located, whether it is dark or bright.<\/p>\n

Another positive point is all the enhancement technologies that are going to be offered.\u00a0We would like to talk about each one, but it would end up being a very long article that will surely end up boring you.\u00a0Therefore,\u00a0we will only mention what is achieved with these functions\u00a0, and that is that most of them focus on essential parameters for the image, for example, the color is appreciated in a more vivid way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For its part, the contrast and brightness present a better sharpness with more precise levels for the content that we are viewing.\u00a0We must also point out that the movements are really fluid thanks to the refresh rate that reaches 120 Hz. In general terms, we will have a well-achieved image.\u00a0As if that were not enough, we note that there is compatibility with\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Vision\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HDR10 Pro\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HGL\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Dolby Vision IQ\u00a0.<\/p>\n

Sound<\/h3>\n

Being a premium television, the audio will not be a problem and we will obtain an experience that is too high regardless of the content we are enjoying.\u00a0To begin with, four speakers\u00a0are integrated\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0that together provide a power of\u00a0\u00a040W\u00a0that could already be enough for a good job.<\/p>\n

However, two\u00a0subwoofers\u00a0are also added, \u00a0reaching\u00a0\u00a020W\u00a0and giving us a quality that is very little offered.\u00a0As if that were not enough, a wide variety of technologies are also implemented that will result in a totally immersive sound, especially in dialogues.<\/p>\n

Analysis of the software \/ Smart TV and more notable features<\/h3>\n

The\u00a0LG 86QNED99\u00a0includes the most recent\u00a0webOS\u00a0update , therefore, we are going to enjoy a very high optimization and security that translate into a fairly fluid platform in its navigation, in addition,\u00a0\u00a0we witness an intuitive system that facilitates the search for any function that we want to use\u00a0.\u00a0We emphasize that its catalog of applications is extensive and offers us the most popular options of the moment.<\/p>\n

For example,\u00a0\u00a0Netflix\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0YouTube\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Prime Video\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0HBO Max\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Disney+\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Star+\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Apple TV\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Spotify\u00a0\u00a0thus achieving an extraordinary amount of content to enjoy on the television.\u00a0Of course, almost most of these platforms are paid and a monthly subscription is required.\u00a0Likewise, we find compatibility with\u00a0\u00a0Google Assistant\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Alexa\u00a0, two assistants to control functions using only the voice.<\/p>\n

In case you have an iPhone, iPad or Mac, you should know that this television includes\u00a0\u00a0Apple AirPlay 2\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0Apple HomeKit\u00a0, which are perfect options in case you want to transmit all kinds of content from these devices.\u00a0At the gaming level we do not have something so spectacular, however, an interesting improvement is offered through\u00a0Game Optimizer\u00a0.\u00a0Exploring the system you will find amazing and unique features for this TV.<\/p>\n
