Very disappointing - not a patch on the older LG it replaced
I loved the natural picture of the LG43UN7300PTC we purchased in 2020, so when that failed beyond redemption another LG seemed a logical choice. Unfortunately there is little about the 43QNED80BSA (apart from the modest price) that I like. Our understanding is that the AI processing is constantly trying to 'improve' the imagine, but it does a terrible job of that. Skin tones rarely look natural, and I'm constantly being distracted by a picture that looks too bright in one scene, too washed out in the next, then too vivid, briefly looks okay, then is too warm, etc. Our consolation is that Good Guys (shoutout to Miquela in Geelong) have been helpful in facilitating an exchange for a (much dearer) TV that I will hopefully be happier with.

5 Stars: Premium 4K Mini LED Tech for Under $700 AUD
If you want premium Mini LED visuals without paying full OLED prices, the 2026 LG 43" QNED80B is fantastic. The colors are rich, the contrast is sharp, and the size is ideal for bedrooms or offices. If you're local to SA, definitely visit The Good Guys Gepps Cross. Ask for Noah B—he provided top-notch service and worked out a fantastic price drop from the standard $742 AUD down to just $695 AUD. Easily 5/5 stars for both the TV and the buying experience!

At a glance
The LG 43QNED80BSA is a compact 43-inch 4K smart TV built for everyday streaming, movies and general family viewing in smaller rooms. Its Mini LED backlight and QNED panel help deliver better brightness control and contrast than standard entry TVs, while webOS 26 adds strong app and voice features. It suits bedrooms, apartments and casual lounge setups best. The main limitation is its 60Hz panel, so it is less ideal for serious gaming.

Things to consider
This model is better suited to casual viewing than high-performance gaming, as the panel is 60Hz and lacks the faster refresh capabilities found on more premium gaming-focused TVs.
Small room suitability
Excellent for small rooms thanks to the 43-inch size, smart features and balanced picture performance.
Student/bedroom fit
9/10 - compact size, easy streaming access and voice control make it a strong bedroom or student accommodation TV.
Smart tv feature score
9/10 - webOS 26, voice control, AirPlay, Google Cast and app support give it a very capable smart platform.
Gaming suitability
6/10 - suitable for casual console gaming with ALLM, but the 60Hz panel limits smoothness compared with higher-end gaming TVs.
Portability rating
8/10 - easier to move and place than larger TVs, making it practical for bedrooms, rentals and smaller spaces.
Key benefits
- Mini LED Backlighting: improves brightness control and contrast for clearer viewing in both bright rooms and night-time movie sessions.
- 43-Inch Screen Size: fits comfortably in bedrooms, apartments and smaller living areas without overpowering the room.
- webOS 26 Smart Platform: gives easy access to popular streaming apps and smart home features from one interface.
- ThinQ Voice Control: lets you search content and adjust settings hands-free for simpler everyday use.
- Apple AirPlay and Google Cast: makes it easy to share video, music and photos from compatible phones, tablets and laptops.
- Dolby Atmos Pass-Through: supports more immersive sound when connected to a compatible soundbar or audio system.
- Parental Controls: helps households manage app access, profiles and viewing settings for children.
- 4.5 Star Energy Rating: offers strong energy efficiency for a 43-inch TV, with estimated annual energy use of 232 kWh.
Q: Is this TV good for PS5 and Xbox Series X gaming
A: Yes, for casual console gaming. LG 43QNED80BSA has three HDMI 2.0 inputs with ALLM, so the TV can switch into a lower-latency mode, but the 60Hz panel limits it for buyers chasing higher frame rate gaming.
Q: Can I connect a soundbar without giving up all HDMI ports
A: Yes. LG 43QNED80BSA has three HDMI ports and eARC support for sending TV audio to a compatible soundbar. That still leaves other HDMI inputs free for a set-top box, disc player, or game console.
Q: What wall mount size does this 43 inch LG TV use
A: LG 43QNED80BSA uses a 200 x 200 VESA wall mount pattern. A wall mount is not included, so buy a bracket that matches this pattern and still leaves room for HDMI, antenna, and power access.
Q: Can you turn down the AI picture processing on this TV
A: Yes. LG 43QNED80BSA includes AI picture processing, but picture settings can be adjusted through the TV menu if the default look feels too bright or vivid. That is useful if you prefer a more natural image for films.
Q: Does it support both AirPlay and Google Cast from phones
A: Yes. LG 43QNED80BSA supports both Apple AirPlay and Google Cast, so compatible phones, tablets, and laptops can send video, music, or mirrored screens to the TV. It also supports Bluetooth v5.3 for wireless audio devices.
Q: How long will the smart TV software stay updated
A: LG 43QNED80BSA includes LG Re:New 5 Year O/S updates, with security updates listed until 31 December 2030. That gives the webOS platform a longer support window for apps, features, and security than short-term update cycles.
