If anyone had doubts about where the television market is moving, just look at the size of the models that are gaining ground in stores and in catalogs. We have been seeing inches rise relentlessly for years, and the data reinforces that impression. The size of TVs in Europe has been growing at an average rate of 1.2 inches per year. Therefore, when a brand like LG now shows a 115-inch TV, what we see is not an isolated extravagance, but the most recent expression of a very clear trend.
The South Korean brand has presented its new QNED evo Mini LED 2026 range in Europe, a family with which it wants to reinforce its presence in the high-end LCD/LED televisions. We are not talking about a single eye-catching model, but rather a line designed to cover different sizes and uses within the home. So we see a movement that does not seem to be limited to a market trend, but rather to turn it into a broader product proposition.
Not Everything in This Range Revolves Around Size
If the size is the first thing that catches your attention, the technical specifications are what truly support the discourse of this range. According to LG, the new QNED evo Mini LED 2026 is based on Dynamic QNED Color Pro technology, Precision Dimming Ultra, and the Alpha 8 Gen 3 processor to elevate color, brightness, and contrast—especially on large screens. The underlying idea is clear: the image must retain its strength as the panel grows. The company also adds features such as AI Super Upscaling, AI Picture Pro, and Dynamic Tone Mapping Pro. On the sound front, AI Sound Pro promises a virtual 11.1.2 channel experience from the integrated speakers.
All this technical deployment is not fully appreciated until we examine real-world use. LG presents this range as a proposal designed for those who want to set up a versatile home system, whether to watch movies, follow sports, or play games. This includes support for Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) up to 165 Hz on the 115-inch model, AMD FreeSync Premium, Automatic Low Latency Mode (ALLM), and a Motion Booster that, according to the brand, can reach up to 330 Hz on compatible models. On paper, these are impressive credentials for anyone seeking fluidity and quick response, although the final experience will depend on how these televisions perform post-release.

However, we have learned that a TV no longer solely plays content on the panel; navigating through its menus, recommendations, and daily functions is equally important. This is where webOS 26 comes into play, LG’s platform that enhances user experience with features like Voice ID for personalized profiles, AI Concierge for contextual suggestions, and functions such as Sports Portal or Sports Alert, allowing users to follow matches, schedules, and results without leaving the ecosystem. Moreover, it incorporates multi-AI capabilities powered by Google Gemini and Microsoft Copilot.
It is also convenient to place this family in context because we are not facing the utmost proposal in LG’s entire catalog. The QNED evo Mini LED 2026 line is positioned within LG as a high-range LCD/LED television, just a step below OLED, which remains its flagship premium offering. This distinction highlights the brand’s intention to offer an ambitious alternative for those seeking large screens, advanced functions, and a premium profile without stepping into the OLED territory. Furthermore, the range is not limited to a single format but offers various models and sizes to adapt to different living room setups.
However, an essential part of this story is still unfolding. LG has announced that Spanish users will have access to this range in the coming months, but the new QNED evo Mini LED 2026 line does not yet appear in the LG Spain catalog. Consequently, we still lack official prices and a specific commercial date for the market. Nevertheless, this announcement clarifies the direction that the South Korean firm intends to take: accompanying the growth of sizes with a proposal rich in technical features. The actual reception of this range will only become evident once these televisions are available for purchase.
