2022 LG OLED TV Lineup
This is LG's premium TV range, known for its perfect black levels, infinite contrast, and vibrant colors.
- LG OLED Z2 (8K)
Description: The Z2 was the flagship 8K OLED for 2022. It was powered by the top-tier Alpha 9 Gen 5 8K AI Processor for the most advanced AI-powered upscaling. As the most premium TV in the lineup, it was aimed at those seeking the absolute highest resolution and picture fidelity in the largest screen sizes (77 and 88 inches).
- LG OLED G2 ("Gallery Edition")
Description: The G2 was the flagship 4K OLED, featuring a "Gallery Design" intended to sit perfectly flush against a wall. Its biggest upgrade was the "OLED Evo" panel with "Brightness Booster Max," which included a heatsink to push brightness to levels previously unseen on LG OLEDs. It also used the Alpha 9 Gen 5 AI Processor and was the first 4K model to debut the massive 97-inch size.
- LG OLED C2
Description: The C2 was the most popular, mainstream OLED, and the highlight of the 2022 lineup for most people. For the first time, it featured the "OLED Evo" panel (on 55-inch sizes and up) for a significant jump in brightness over its C1 predecessor. It was powered by the Alpha 9 Gen 5 AI Processor and introduced the first-ever 42-inch OLED size, making it a massive hit with gamers. It featured four full-bandwidth HDMI 2.1 ports and a 120Hz refresh rate.
- LG OLED B2
Description: The B2 was the mid-range OLED, offering a step-up from the entry-level model. It featured a 120Hz panel and the Alpha 7 Gen 5 AI Processor. It was a great choice for gamers on a budget as it still offered two HDMI 2.1 ports for 4K/120Hz gaming, though its panel was not as bright as the C2's "Evo" panel.
- LG OLED A2
Description: The A2 was the entry-level OLED for 2022. It was designed for those who wanted the perfect blacks and infinite contrast of an OLED for a cinematic experience but didn't need high-end gaming features. It used the Alpha 7 Gen 5 AI Processor but was limited to a 60Hz panel and did not have HDMI 2.1 ports for 120Hz gaming.
QNED (Quantum Dot NanoCell) TVs are LG's premium LED/LCD lineup, using Mini-LEDs in the higher-end models for better brightness and contrast.
- LG QNED99 (8K Mini-LED)
Description: The top-tier 8K QNED TV. It combined a Mini-LED backlight, Quantum Dot, and NanoCell technologies for the best possible brightness, color, and contrast in LG's 8K LED lineup. It was powered by the Alpha 9 Gen 5 8K AI Processor.
- LG QNED90 (4K Mini-LED)
Description: The flagship 4K QNED TV. It featured a Mini-LED backlight with "Precision Dimming Pro" for excellent black levels and high peak brightness, making it a strong performer for bright rooms. It also had a 120Hz panel and the Alpha 7 Gen 5 AI Processor, making it a great all-purpose TV for sports, movies, and gaming.
- LG QNED85 (4K Mini-LED)
Description: A step-down Mini-LED model that still offered the core benefits of a Mini-LED backlight (good contrast and brightness) and a 120Hz panel. It was a high-value option for those wanting Mini-LED technology without paying the premium for the QNED90.
- LG QNED80 (4K LED)
Description: This was the entry-level QNED model for 2022. It did not feature a Mini-LED backlight, using a standard edge-lit LED with local dimming instead. However, it still offered the enhanced colors of Quantum Dot and NanoCell technology.
