LG is raising the bar for consumer TV sizes with the launch of the first 115 inch TV, 115QNED93B. The TV is aimed at people who need enormous displays for home theater or commercial use, and want the benefit of modern LCD brightness and contrast. The TV puts LG head-to-head with the big boys of large TV screens in the high end display space.
LG's new 115-inch MiniLED TV arrives in 2026 with over 1000 dimming zones
The TV is using a miniLED LCD panel architecture instead of the OLED or microLED technologies. LG is showing the new TV with two model names, 115QNED93B and 115QNED92B, which seem to be the same hardware. The TV uses miniLED LCD panel, which allows very high peak brightness but also has the benefit of using existing LCD manufacturing techniques.
Specifications
- Screen Size: 115 inches
- Panel Type: miniLED LCD
- Dimming Zones: 1000+
- Model Number: 115QNED93B / 115QNED92B
The TV has a backlight system with more than 1000 individual dimming zones. More than 1000 dimming zones helps improve contrast and reduces blooming around bright objects on dark backgrounds. The TV has a massive 115 inch screen, which is a big step up from regular 85 or 98 inch TVs.
The 115QNED93B has different prices depending on where you buy the TV and what region it is. The manufacturer suggested retail price is 12999 USD (approx. $12,999). In the US market, it seems like the actual street prices are more like 7500 USD (approx. $7,500). The price in Europe is 7000 EUR (approx. $7,861).
The TV is going global in 2026. There is also a hint that a bigger 130 inch version will be available in late 2026 or 2027. 2026 release suggests LG is starting to really dive into the ultra-large format market.
Seventy five hundred dollars is still a lot of money for a screen that takes up half my living room wall.
miniLED on a 115 inch display 😅
I wonder how the local dimming algorithm handles the massive surface area without blooming around subtitles.
Does the 1000 dimming zones count actually translate to measurable contrast ratios in a dark room test
It usually helps reduce halo effects on dark scenes but LCDs will never match OLED blacks. The spec sheet does not list a specific contrast ratio.
At that price point I might just build a dual GPU workstation instead 💀
I am skeptical about the 2026 release window. Companies often delay these ultra niche products indefinitely.
The street price drop to 7500 is the only reason this is even on my radar 👀
Please tell me it does not have forced firmware updates like my smart fridge.
I just want to know if the panel will last ten years without backlight bleed.
Thirteen inch screen in a living room is a fire hazard.
