So mini led is a new type of technology what is coming out on a lot of new devices that have
screens right now for example the new macbook pro 14 inch and 16 inch will actually have mini led
display inside it but right now lg have sent me this brand new qned mini led 8k tv what you can
see right here it's a 65 inch tv and i'm going to test it out to see how good mini led really is.
So that's right guys i'm really excited about mini led technology and lg have been really kind enough
to send me this brand new qned led or mini led tv what you can see right here it's a brand new 2021
model and it's a 65 inch and they even do a 75 inch but it's a little bit too big for me so i
said yeah sure i'll test out a 65-inch tv for you so what i'm going to do is i'm going to show you
an unboxing in this video and then after that i'm going to connect up a couple of consoles as well
i'm also going to play around with some of the settings that are also available
on this tv so let's get started with the unboxing so first of all i bought the heavy tv through and
then i started to unclip the safety catchers here with some scissors on each side and then
afterwards i use the same scissors so i've cut open the box very very lightly not going too deep
in because you don't want to cut up the tv if it was right underneath it so i cut the top bit and
then after that i managed to cut off the size on the left and also on the right hand side as well
and then finally i could open up the box however inside there were lots of bits and pieces as you
can see like a tv stand that i've got here then i realized i would need some assistance from my wife
so i dragged her in to basically pull off the top part of the box to get this lifted up
and then inside that polystyrene bits and pieces there were some instructions and there was also
the remote with the batteries what looks pretty cool and then i decided to take all the packaging
off the actual tv stand because this is how i'm actually going to mount it onto the tv
so once that was all taken apart i got the mount and i started to assemble it together
the main base sort of just clicks onto the back base it was really really easy just a bit of a bit
of pressure and it clicked into place there are also four screws to put into the bottom
of the actual base we'll just need a normal screwdriver or electric screw that i have so
i managed to get one of these screws put it in a little bit with my hand and then after that use my
electric screwdriver to cheat it a little bit to get it a bit more quickly done and i put the rest
of the screws in at the same time held down the base nicely and firmly while the screws went in
next with all the polystyrene we put it on the ground and then we actually laid down the main tv
onto this polystyrene as kind of like a base to actually put the base on so we took on the bottom
part off here it was a little bit tricky to pull off but we slosted it underneath
and then after this we got to work in getting the base and then actually securing that on
luckily it just clicks on as you can see it was really really easy and then again you need to
have some screws and a screwdriver and just screw in the four different screw holes that you've got
here with four different screws that came with the tvs packaging and instructions and everything
next i attached the optional kind of cable ties if you want your cables coming straight down the
side of the tv but there is another option where you can actually plug in your cables and then
sort of bring them down along to the middle of the actual tv and then sort of hide them in the main
base that you have here and then there's a nice clip what you can just put on it just slots on and
also once it's on you can also easily take it off to put more cables in or tidy up at another time
next we lifted up the tv onto the main tv unit that i have pulled up a bit of packaging
as well but removed it and then after this the tv was ready to go so next of all i decided to
get started with the setup so i decided to do the setup with using just the tv and add my actual app
later on so i accepted all the terms conditions and everything that you get with the actual tv
and then we were ready to accept everything else of the actual third party bits and pieces
and next of all i had to put in my dress so the tv could work out where i'm living
to give me all the channels that are in my area after this i had to select if i had the tv wall
mounted or on the stand i have the tv on the stand so i selected this next of all there was
some ai functions like for example you could hear the sound different and you could see
the picture was different in fact listen to the sound difference here with the ai sound
after being wowed by this and turning down my volume because it was so loud it was time to
program the tv so i've got a standard aerial inside the back of my tv
so i was ready to program this in using that function so i click next and then the tuning
began so obviously this took a bit of time to do because here in the uk tuning in your
tv does take some time you know we haven't got the fastest technology in the world so i left this run
for a while and luckily and hopefully it found most of the channels that we get here in the uk
to begin with it didn't find anything at all but as you can see as it got faster along
more and more channels got discovered so far it had been really easy to set up this tv but next of
all what i had to do was pair my lg app with this tv i have another lg device in the house right now
what is actually an lg washing machine so i do actually have the app but the app is really easy
to download and once you've got it downloaded what you have to do is just open it up and then
after this all you have to do is just press the actual plus button that you see on the screen
here and if there is a nearby device it will find it automatically and you just have to select it
pair it with a code what is really really simple you gotta put the code what you see on the tv
and then after this the pairing will begin there's a few more terms conditions just to accept on the
app and then voila your phone is now paired with the tv and it even says in the background there
first use is completed next there's an option to put some pre-loaded apps on but after this
you just have to press done and setup is complete so next of all let's talk about some of the key
features of this tv so as mentioned it is a mini led backlit tv with quantum dot nano cell color
technology that delivers an all new tv experience with enhanced brightness deeper blacks and
brilliant colors as you can see here if you don't know what quantum dot and nano cell technology is
in short both combine improves color reproduction to create richer and more accurate colors
not only this the tv has something else called a full array dimming pro what basically means each
pixel individually can be adjusted in brightness for each frame the tv is displaying this makes
deeper blacks and colors more vivid for a more detailed picture even in the darker scenes and
overall gives a kind of an oled feel this tv also is an 8k panel and it can automatically adjust
from 8k 60 hertz to 4k 120 hertz for example for consoles that run at 120 hertz so eg 120 frames
per second what is truly amazing not only this this tv also has an alphas 9 gen ai processor for
scaling up to 8k so again in short any definition of a show or device that is outputting at 420p
720p 1080p or even 4k will be scaled up to 8k using the smart ai processor this tv also includes
dolby vision iq that intelligently adjusts picture settings based on the director's intent of how the
picture should look and adjust by itself based on rooms ambient light levels also like many new
tvs it also has dolby atmos and that delivers multi-dimension surround sound so you can even
plug in your sound bar via bluetooth or via hdmi arc if you want to and also get this same effect
something else what absolutely fascinates me has got to be how thin this tv is if you look at my
finger here next to it look how thin it really is and we're getting such an amazing picture
so let's move to the back of the tv now and let's see what ports are available so on the right side
we have a common interface card slot we also have a usb port and also two hdmi ports as well
that support an 8k input at 60 hertz or a 4k input with 120 hertz on the bottom we have two
further usb 3.0 ports two more hdmi ports as well again both of them being an 8k 60hz or 4k
hertz and then next to that we have a one gigabyte lan port then optical output for sound and an
antenna and cable import and also a satellite port and followed by an ir blaster for infrared
remotes back on the tv though in settings there's loads of different options that you can fit around
with with your remote also the remote is an air remote as you can see here so you can change your
picture around if you wanted to it's a different kind of modes i like it really on the kind of
standard mode but depending on what you want to watch you can change it around again with your
sound you can change it around any way you want it so depending if you're watching something like
a movie or if you're watching sports or anything like this you can flick it around to any setting
you want you could also change the speaker's output so if you do have something like a
bluetooth um soundbar or even optical soundbar you can flick around with this there is even
a feature what's called the game optimizer where you can enhance your game picture with just using
this quick setting here and this feature gives you the best gaming experience with even the
ability to optimize the picture by genre next of all there is a sleep timer so for example if you
leave your tv on and you want to switch off after a certain amount of minutes or even hours if you
want to you can set this up on the tv the tv also has a wireless ac connection and then all settings
allows you to fit around even more so once this is loaded up what you can do is you can change
around with your picture abilities if you want to do that like for example fiddling around with
the brightness or fiddling around with like the contrast on your screen you can do this all inside
this setting here you can also do many other different enhancements with the sound as well
then in the general settings you can play around with the ai service and loads of other different
bits and pieces and you can also if you wanted to change around with some of the actual system
settings as well for example one of my favorite it's got to be with the safety feature right here
and this if you've got kids for example you can set up a lock for example on apps or programs
and in fact i've done that on the likes of like disney plus netflix and so on so forth for my
kids so they don't mess around you can also fit around with the support and you can also get your
software updates through this and you can also switch this on to be automatic if you want that
i've done that right here because i'd like to get automatic updates but yeah there's lots of
different things you can fiddle around with in the settings next of all the actual home screen
is really nice and easy to use this is the home screen that you can see right here it
gives you things that are recommended right now and you can see all my apps at the bottom i've
got some padlocks on like i just said with the safety feature and some other things i haven't
got the padlock on but the apps are really easy to navigate around using the remote and you can
either use the air mode or you can actually just use and click around but yeah it's absolutely
fantastic you can also change around and change some of the settings for your apps if you wanted
to do that so if i wanted to edit this i can basically move around my apps if i want them in
a different position i can also delete them off this page also at the same time so it's really
easy and convenient to do that you can also add additional apps if you click on the apps button
here and it just loads and after a few seconds the main menu will appear and then you can choose the
different apps that you want from the different kind of featured areas the entertainment gaming
news and info live and education but also at the same time there is an ability to do a search if
you really want to do that but returning to the home screen here if we scroll down we can actually
see all the different devices that are connected to my tv whether this be mobile or tv inputs
or even the sound or even my washing machine as you can see right here what is running through the
actual app and it will tell me when that will be completed but it's pretty cool to be fair
there is also the ability to see what's on tv right now using the live tv feature here and
you've got a tv guide and also kind of highlights or things that are trending in the different types
of apps that you might have installed on your actual lg tv but you can also open up the home
dashboard to get a different view of everything if you really want to and on here you can see all the
different hdmi things i've got plugged in you've also got my washing machine still running there
and we can also see that my apple tv is on so in fact that's going to have a look at that so apple
tv looks amazing on this device we have all the different apps i have installed on my apple tv
and i can also just show you a quick demo here of the latest um c trailer or it could even be
the first series trailer but as you can see here it runs in the background it looks absolutely
amazing but let's try actually watching a movie on this actual tv so if i just go to the movies
app here on my apple tv and let's just select here the minion madness for example and if i just play
and just resume from where i was watching before the picture quality looks absolutely incredible
this has been upscaled from 1080p all the way up to 8k and oh my it looks amazing so next of all
i plugged in my xbox series x and i'm playing the xbox series x enhanced version of forza horizon 4
and oh my everything looks absolutely incredible on this tv everything is so vibrant and so bright
and it just looks absolutely incredible this game is like built for this tv but let's switch over
now to the playstation 5. and i'm doing some swinging around in spider-man miles morale and
again this game looks absolutely incredible on the ps5 on this lg tv it's just like it's built
for it the next generation consoles are just built for this tv or this tv is built for these
games i also finally tested animal crossing on my nintendo switch and again everything just looks so
vibrant and to be honest this just looks like it's been playing in 4k this is actually a 1080p
footage being pumped into this actual lg tv but you wouldn't be able to tell this it looks so
clear and it looks absolutely amazing the nintendo switch on this tv what is incredible so overall
this tv is absolutely stunning i absolutely love the mini led on this qled tv that lg are making
right now and if i if you can save up for it i would definitely definitely recommend getting
one of them because the screen is absolutely amazing on this and i'm really excited as well for
more devices in the future to have a mini led just like this 65 inch lg tv that i have right here
