Seoul: LG Electronics has unveiled its new Mini LED TV line-up, ahead of the virtual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2021.

Called LG QNED TV, the liquid crystal display (LCD) TV uses ultra-small LEDs as the backlight. QNED Mini LED TVs aim to deliver much-improved brightness and contrast over conventional LCD sets, reports ZDNet.

• The new models from LG will use Mini LEDs as its light source, along with quantum dot and NanoCell technologies.
• Mini-LED backlights are, as the name suggests, tiny versions of LED lights in very tight clusters. Rather than numbering in the tens or hundreds of them though, there are thousands.
• The 8K, the 86-inch model of LG QNED TV packs 30,000 LEDs as the backlight. LG claims its new QNED Mini LED TVs can deliver contrast ratios of one million to one.
• At the same time, LG employs quantum dot and NanoCell technology the first time that's been combined in a TV, according to LG for more accurate colours.
• LG won't be the only TV set maker focusing on Mini LED-based TVs in 2021.

TCL was the first to implement Mini-LED tech in the US market, starting with its 8-Series in 2019, later trickling it down to its vaunted 6-Series in 2020.
