LG - 55" Class 85A Series QNED evo AI MiniLED 4K UHD Smart webOS TV (2025)

Hello there, Anjani. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We understand your inquiry about your LG 55QNED85AUA TV’s backlighting: although it’s labeled MiniLED, the specification indicates Edge Lit rather than full-array local dimming (FALD). “MiniLED” refers to the use of smaller LED diodes that enable more precise control of backlight brightness and contrast compared to standard LEDs; it does not strictly require a full-array arrangement. By using smaller LEDs—even when positioned along the edges with a light-guide panel—LG’s Dimming Pro technology can create multiple dimming zones for improved contrast over traditional edge-lit designs. Edge-lit MiniLED setups use rows of these smaller LEDs around the panel’s perimeter, paired with advanced diffusion layers, to direct light across the screen and allow zone-based dimming. While FALD often offers the highest level of local dimming granularity by placing LEDs directly behind the screen, edge-lit MiniLED still enhances contrast and brightness compared to larger LEDs or non-MiniLED edge-lit models. This design can also support a slimmer TV profile. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-55-class-85a-series-qned-evo-ai-miniled-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv-2025/6621808.p?skuId=6621808 If you’d like further details on the technology or guidance in comparing with other backlighting types, please send us a private message on Social Media @LGUSSupport so our team can share official resources or discuss which LG models best fit your viewing preferences.
