The LG QNED99 8k is a flagship 8k TV that's part of LG's QNED lineup, and is the highest-end option from their 2021 models. It features Mini LED backlighting that allows it to have greater control over the local dimming feature and for it to get brighter. Like most of LG's LED TVs, it has an IPS panel with wide viewing angles and low contrast, but the full-array local dimming helps improve the black level. There are a few gaming-oriented features like HDMI 2.1 inputs, low input lag, and a quick response time, but it doesn't have variable refresh rate (VRR) support, which is disappointing.
