LG NU85 85-Inch

In this lg nu85 85-inch review, the LG 85NU85 Series (model 85NU850BPUA) is the cheapest 85 inch 4K tv in our 2026 guide at $799.99, and it ranks tenth of ten for that very reason. Behind the price sits LG's Alpha 7 AI Processor 4K Gen9, Nano Detail Enhancer, AI Super Upscaling and the webOS 2026 platform with Google Gemini built in. A 4.0 star rating from 122 Amazon ratings is the weakest buyer evidence in the group, so expectations should stay realistic. This television is for shoppers who want maximum screen size for the smallest spend, in a family room, bedroom or basement. Meanwhile, movie buffs and gamers chasing deep contrast should budget higher.

Picture processing is where this set earns its keep. Nano Detail Enhancer and the Alpha 7 processor analyze each scene and sharpen detail, while AI Super Upscaling lifts lower resolution streams toward near-4K clarity. For example, a 1080p cable channel or an older YouTube clip will look cleaner than it does on a cheap non-upscaling panel. HDR10 Pro adjusts brightness for bright and dark scenes, and Filmmaker Mode preserves the director's original colors, settings and frame rates. In practice, 60Hz and Direct LED means motion and contrast trail the mini-LED models ranked above it in the guide. On top of that, AI Sound Pro clarifies dialogue, and you get three HDMI ports, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, Google Cast, plus Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus, Max and Apple TV installed.

Value is simple here: at $799.99, the LG 85NU85 costs hundreds less than the 85 inch models ranked above it, and no competitor in this guide matches 85 inches for less money. By contrast, those pricier sets add mini-LED backlights, higher refresh rates and Dolby Vision, which matter if you watch a lot of movies or play games. This one gives you HDR10 only and a 60Hz panel, so dark scenes look flatter and fast action shows more blur. However, the 400 x 400 mm VESA pattern, 74.4 inch width and 1 year parts and labor warranty keep setup and ownership straightforward. Even so, if budget is the hard limit and a huge picture is the goal, this is the one to get.
