⚠️ Consider that this is an LED TV with native 60 Hz (not a 120Hz gaming model) and basic HDR10.
💡 For 17,990 CZK, it’s one of the most affordable ways to get an 85″ diagonal, even compared to the previous promotion for 19,992 CZK.

Why this TV is interesting

This LG TV has one main draw: an enormous 85″ diagonal at a price where you’d buy significantly smaller models elsewhere. It targets people who want the largest possible picture for movies, sports, and series in their living room and aren’t concerned with the highest image technologies. Processing is handled by the alpha 7 AI Gen9 processor with AI upscaling, which upscales the image to 4K, and the modern webOS system with five years of updates. At 17,990 CZK with code ALZADNY25, it’s a lot of inches for your money.

Key parameters in plain language

This is a 4K LED TV (3840 × 2160) with support for HDR10 and HLG. Here’s an important clarification: although the word OLED might appear in marketing, this model is LED (LCD), not OLED – so don’t expect the perfect blacks of OLED panels, but a classic LED picture with good brightness and colors. Also, pay attention to the frequency: the panel has native 50/60 Hz and VRR only up to 60 Hz via HDMI 2.0, so gamers who want 120 Hz will be disappointed. However, for regular viewing and occasional gaming, this is sufficient, and AI upscaling also helps with lower-resolution content.

Practical aspects: system, sound, gaming

The webOS system offers all major streaming services (Netflix, Disney+, HBO Max, YouTube) and is controlled via the AI Magic Remote with voice commands and a motion cursor. Nice additions include LG Gallery mode, which turns the TV into a display for art or photos when off, and cloud gaming via GeForce NOW or Xbox without a console. Connectivity is provided by 3× HDMI 2.0, WiFi, Bluetooth, and AirPlay as well as Google Cast.

However, keep in mind that the built-in speakers only have 20 W (2.0). The mentioned “virtual 9.1.2 system” is a software overlay, not actual surround sound, so for such a large TV, it’s realistically worth adding a soundbar for movies. And pay attention to a practical detail: an 85″ TV is large and heavy, so measure the space and wall bearing capacity beforehand if you plan wall mounting (VESA 400×400).

What to watch out for

Besides the already mentioned 60 Hz frequency and LED panel type, it’s good to know that this is a new model with virtually no user reviews, so long-term reliability has not yet been verified. HDR here is at a basic level (HDR10, without Dolby Vision), so don’t expect the performance of more expensive models with local dimming for dark scenes and the most demanding movie content. This is a TV where you primarily pay for size and smart features, not for top-tier picture quality – and with that in mind, it’s a good purchase.

When it doesn’t make sense

If you’re looking for the best possible picture for a home cinema – deep blacks and top-tier HDR – you’ll get better results for a comparable price with a smaller OLED or Mini-LED TV. Those who play on a console and want 120 Hz and Dolby Vision will encounter a native 60Hz LED panel and HDMI 2.0. And if you don’t have enough space for an 85″ TV or the right viewing distance from the couch, such a large diagonal will be more of a hindrance. Under these conditions, consider a smaller or better-equipped model.

Verdict: who it’s worth it for

If you want the largest possible picture for your living room at a reasonable price and know that you’re buying a basic to mid-range LED, then the LG 85NU8E0B3LA for 17,990 CZK is an attractive choice – 85 inches at this price is rarely seen, and it’s also less than in the previous promotion and at launch. Plus, smart webOS with five years of updates and AI upscaling. However, take seriously that it’s an LED with 60 Hz and basic HDR, and that both the sound and HDR could benefit from additions (a soundbar). For a large and smart TV for regular viewing, it’s a good buy at this price; those looking for top-tier picture quality or 120 Hz gaming will look elsewhere.

For you, when it comes to a TV, is the largest possible diagonal more important, or picture quality?
